MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
OVERALL VIEW
Auto industry body, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), has projected growth of 8-10 % with Utility
Vehicles growing at 14-15 % and cars up between 8-9 % on basis of strong cyclical recovery outlook in the global
economy with world growth projected at 3.7 % in 2018, bank capitalization, rural revival, and reforms such as Insolvency
and Bankruptcy Code by the government. These factors will give a fillip to the Auto sector. However, the Consumer Price
Inflation is expected to spike to 4.4 % in FY 2018-19, from current 4 %, interest rates may also see a moderate hike and
global crude oil prices are also not expected to spiral, Commodity prices though will continue to maintain their northward
climb, especially copper and lead, an indicator that car prices may not decline.
Overall FY 2018-19 is expected to bring positive sentiments back into the market and rev up overall vehicles sales.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW, STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT
The automobile sector is one of the key segments of the economy having extensive forward and backward linkages
with other key segments of the economy. The Indian automobile industry comprises of a number of Indian-origin and
multinational players, with varying degree of presence in different segments.
Automobile dealer Industry plays the vital role of link between the manufacturer of the automobile and the consumer.
With large inventories of cars, dealers provide consumers with a wide array of vehicles to meet their needs at different
price points.
The sales of most of automobiles today are subject to changing consumer tastes, the popularity of the manufacturer's
vehicle models, and the intensity of competition with other dealers. Along with the sale of the car, most dealers also sell
additional automobile-related services to potential buyers. These services include extended warranties, undercoating,
insurance, and financing. After-market sales departments sell these services and other merchandise after vehicle
salespersons have closed a deal. Sales of these packages greatly increase the revenue generated for each vehicle sold.
Performing repair work on vehicles is another profitable service provided in this industry. Service departments at motor
vehicle dealers provide repair services and sell accessories and replacement parts. The work of the service department
has a major influence on customers' satisfaction and willingness to purchase future vehicles from the dealer.
Industry Structure: The automobile dealer industry is comprised of two segments. New car dealers, often called
franchised dealers, primarily sell new cars, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), and passenger and commercial vehicles. These
franchised dealers sell vehicles manufactured by a particular company, which may include several brands. Used car
dealers comprise the other segment of the industry, and are sometimes referred to as independent dealers. These dealers
sell a variety of vehicles that have been previously owned or formerly rented and leased. Improvements in technology
have increased the durability and longevity of new cars, raising the number of high-quality used cars that are available for
sale. Used car dealers by definition do not sell new cars, but most new car dealers do sell some used cars.
New vehicle sales account for more than half of total sales revenue at franchised new car dealers. These sales also
generate additional revenue in other departments of new car dealers, which are more profitable to the dealer. By putting
new vehicles on the road, dealers can count on new repair and service customers and future trade-ins of used vehicles.
Developments
The Indian auto industry is set to witness major changes in form of Electric Vehicles, shared mobility, Bharat Emission-VI
emission and safety norms. The Government of India has shown an increased interest towards electric vehicles and has
set for an ambitious target of all electric cars by 2030. There is an increasing buzz for e-mobility and all the companies in
the sector are preparing themselves for the future.
Historically, the Indian Passenger Car Market has been skewed towards small passenger cars. However, there is a structural
change taking place in the industry with demand for UVs taking over the passenger car. This shift is paving a way towards
new avenues of the growth and will results in a more profitable growth for the sector.
In an effort to achieve greater financial and operational efficiency and flexibility in the automobile dealer industry, greater
emphasis is being placed on after sale services, such as vehicle maintenance and repair, at both new and used car dealers.
26
ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2017-2018
These services remain less susceptible to economic downturns. They are also part of an effort to enhance customer
loyalty and overall customer service.
In recent years, the sale of used cars has become another useful business area for many new car dealers in the wake
of shrinking margins on new cars. To make them acceptable to more customers, dealers promote "certified pre-owned"
vehicles to customers who want a warranty on their used vehicle. This often raises the price, but in return provides
customers with peace of mind. In economic downturns, the relative demand for these and other used cars often increases
as sales of new cars decline.
The increased use of the Internet to market, new and used cars has also had a significant impact on automobile dealers.
Through the Internet, consumers can easily access vehicle reviews, view pictures of vehicles and compare models,
features, and prices. Many websites allow consumers to research insurance, financing, leasing and warranty options. As
a result, consumers are generally better informed and spend less time meeting with salespersons.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
Opportunities
India being one of the largest automobile markets in the world, has a bright future because of several factors like
rapid urbanisation, Car buyers getting younger, growing middle class, overall growth of other industries, infrastructure
development and the improved road infrastructure. This along with rising disposable income, aspirations for a better
lifestyle and a slew of new product launches lined up by companies would aid overall increase in sales volumes. The
Company, with its wide portfolio is expected to benefit from the same. Further, per capita penetration at around eighteen
cars per thousand is among lowest in the world. This growing consumerism is expected to lead to an increase in car
penetration.
Threats
Demand is linked to economic growth and rise in income levels. Further, it is inversely related to the interest and fuel
prices as 85% of the total are bought on credit.
Affordability is the most important demand driver in India, the domestic car market has until now been segmented on
the basis of vehicle price. Price based competition also takes place in a continuum than in segments since nearly all the
models are launched in multiple versions at different price points. As a result higher end variant compete with lower-end-
variant of a car in a segment above it.
Further, intensity of competition has increased in almost all the segments of the Indian automobile dealers market whether
it’s a competition for sales of cars from dealers of same brand or of competing brands or competition in after-sales service
business from other dealers of same brand or from organised (branded) franchised service network or from unorganised
local garages.
Moreover, in the automobile dealer industry, vehicles cannot be kept in the store for long unlike consumer durables, as
automobiles lose value with time. The model gets old and the customer would not be willing to pay for it. The damage
due to handling, if they are in the showroom or warehouse for too long, is another factor.
Other factors like affordability, innovation, infrastructure facilities and price of fuel, stringent emission norms and safety
regulations and interest rates affect the demand for automobiles to a larger extent. These factors and challenges always
keep the automakers and dealers on their toes.
OUTLOOK
Auto industry body, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), has projected growth of 8-10 % with Utility

economy with world growth projected at 3.7 % in 2018, bank capitalization, rural revival, and reforms such as Insolvency
and Bankruptcy Code by the government. These factors will give a fillip to the Auto sector.

RISKS AND CONCERNS
Indian car industry is one of the most promising car industries across the globe. It has gradually strengthened its foothold
in the international area as well. The country is dealing with many car manufacturers, dealers, and associations in various
countries including U.S. From some countries, India import cars and car components and to some India exports.
Though India has witnessed a growing customer base, it has not inoculated them from the global crisis. The crippling
liquidity and high interest rates have slowed down the vehicle demand.
Rising Input costs of commodities, availability of credit and affordable interest rates are important facilitators for automobile
sales. The uncertain exchange rates and a sudden increase in dollar value against Indian rupee have contributed to
slowdown. Increasing Dollar value has raised the landed cost of imported machine, tools and even raw materials required
for production.
In addition, rising cost of dealership operations, limited availability of trained and untrained manpower, increasing labour
and wage rates, prospects of accelerated career growth and better training & development opportunities have kept the
margins of dealership operations under immense pressure.
Intensity of competition has increased in almost all the segments of the Indian automotive market due to entry of new
players and appointment of new dealers by Maruti. Launch of new models by different players have also increased
market competition. This increasing level of competition would also translate into higher selling and distribution costs.
The Company is aware of the increasing competition and is taking measures to remain competitive in the market place.
SEGMENT WISE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Competent Automobiles Co. Ltd. is mainly in the business of trading and servicing of Maruti Suzuki vehicles. The
Company operates in two segments, namely, Showroom and Services & Spares. The Showroom segment deals with

our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over
Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) 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 applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, 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.
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.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls 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 (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) 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 authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
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 Company has, 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 31st March 2018,
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.

probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company andthe amount of income can be measured
reliably.
2. Property, plant and equipment
a. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation less
accumulated impairment, if any. Freehold land is measured at cost and is not depreciated. Such assets are classi-
fied to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.

is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and the cost of assets not put to use before such
date are disclosed under ‘Capital work-in-progress’.

only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the
cost of the item can be measured reliably.
d. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. The
other repairs and maintenance of revenue nature are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which
they are incurred.
2.1 Transition to Ind AS
On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of its property, plant
and equipment recognized as at 1st April 2016, measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying
value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment.
2.2 Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value
(i) Depreciation on property, Plant and Equipment is provided based on useful life of the assets as
prescribed in the Schedule -II to the Companies Act 2013 , and charged on the basis of written down
Value Method.
(ii) The assets' residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of
each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
(iii) Any Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and
are credited / debited to profit or loss.
(iv) The vehicle purchased for the purpose of the test drive are treated as an asset of the Company and

3. Impairment of Assets
(i) At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impair-
ment loss (if any).
(ii) An impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss to the extent, asset’s carrying amount ex-
ceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in
use. 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
for which the estimates of future cash flows have not.
4. Borrowing costs
(i) Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are
assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the
cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
50
ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2017-2018
(ii) Interest income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on quali-
fying assets are deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recog-
nized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

6. Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a
party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
(i) Initial Recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly at-
tributable to the acquisition or issue of financial instruments (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at
fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial
liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial
assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent Measurement
1. Financial Assets at amortized cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose ob-
jective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual terms of the financial
asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the princi-
pal amount outstanding.
2. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held with-
in a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial
assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Further, in cases where the Company
has made an irrevocable election based on its business model, for its investments which are classified as equity
instruments, the subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.
3. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories is subsequently fair valued through profit
or loss.
4. Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method or
at fair value through profit or loss.
7. Cash and cash equivalents
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, cheques and drafts in hand, balances
with bank and deposits held at call with financial institutions, short-term highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
51
ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2017-2018
insignificant risk of changes in value.Bank overdrafts are shown as a part of Cash and Cash Equivalents in the cash
flow statement.
8. Leasing
(i) Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and re-
wards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
(ii) Lease rentals for operating lease are charged to the statement of profit and loss account in accordance with the
respective lease agreement. The lease rental are estimated to increase periodically in line with expected general
inflation cost.
9. Taxation
(i) Tax Expense
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.Income tax expense is
recognized in net profit in the Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized
directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income.
(ii) Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from 'profit before tax' as
reported in the statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible
in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period
(iii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in
the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profits. Deferred
tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all de-
ductible temporary differences and incurred tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will
be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and
liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities
in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
(iv) The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has a legally enforceable right to set
off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously.
10. Foreign currencies
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the group operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee
(`), which is the group’s functional and presentation currency.
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of
the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from
the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates
are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges.
11. Earning per Share
The earnings considered in ascertaining the Earnings per Share (EPS) comprise the net profit after tax. The number
of shares used in computing basic EPS is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The
diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as basic EPS, after adjusting for the effects of potential dilutive equity
shares.

Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The Company’s contri-
bution to State Plans namely Employee’s State Insurance, Employee’s Provident Fund Scheme and Employee’s
Pension Scheme are charged to the statement of profit and loss every year.

that is reasonably estimable, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation.
(ii) A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is possible obligation or a present obligation that may,
but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation
that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure as specified in Indian Accounting

transaction between market participants. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
Quoted equity investments: Fair value is derived from quoted market prices in active markets.
Unquoted equity investments: Fair value is derived on the basis of income approach, in this approach the discounted
cash flow method is used to capture the present value of the expected future economic benefits to be derived from the
ownership of these investments.
