COMPANY OVERVIEW

Century Enka Limited (the Company) is a Public Limited Company incorporated in India having its registered office at Pune, Maharashtra, India. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and selling of ''Synthetic Yarn’ and related products.

1 (A) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY:

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Key assumptions:

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

(i) Useful Lives of Property, Plant & Equipment:

The Company uses its technical expertise along with historical and industry trends for determining the economic life of an asset/ component of an asset. The useful lives are reviewed by management periodically and revised, if appropriate. In case of a revision, the unamortised depreciable amount is charged over the remaining useful life of the assets.

(ii) Fair value measurement of financial instruments:

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the Discounted Cash Flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.

(iii) Defined benefit plans:

The cost of the defined benefit plans gratuity and provident fund, and the present value of the gratuity and provident fund obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

(iv) Impairment of Assets:

The Company has used certain judgments and estimations to estimate future projections and discount rates to compute value in use of cash generating unit and to assess impairment. In case of certain assets independent external valuation has been carried out to compute recoverable values of these assets.

(v) Asset held for sale:

The company has used certain judgements and estimates to determine fair value of asset held for sale. Fair value has determined on basis of independent external valuation and quotes from dealer of similar assets.

a) Includes Land Rs. 2 Lacs and Rs. 500 being the cost of 5 shares in a co-operative housing society held in the name of a nominee of the Company

b) Includes Rs. 2000 being the cost of 40 shares in co-operative societies.

c) Rupee Term Loans are secured by hypothecation of specific Plant and Machinery against which Loans have been taken.

b) Rights, Preferences and Restrictions attached to Equity Shares

The Company has only one class of Equity Shares having a par value of 10/- per share. Each holder of the Equity Shares is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares dividend in Indian Rupees. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the Shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of Equity Shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of Equity Shares held by the Shareholders.

d) No bonus shares have been issued during five years immediately preceding 31st March, 2019.

e) Dividend Proposed, Declared and Paid [Refer Note 37A]

f) Shares reserved for issue under options and contracts or commitments for the sale of shares or disinvestment, including the terms and amounts - Nil

g) For the period of five years immediately preceding the date at which the Balance Sheet is prepared-

1 aggregate number and class of shares allotted as fully paid up pursuant to contract without payment being received in cash - Nil

2 aggregate number and class of shares bought back - Nil

* Note: Interest rate after considering subsidy under Technology Upgradation Scheme (TUF) is 3.75% p.a.

1. Rupee Term Loans are secured by hypothecation of specific Plant and Machinery against which Loans have been taken.

2. Finance Lease obligation is secured by hypothecation of Plant and Machinery taken on lease.

Note: Working Capital borrowings

a) Working Capital borrowings are secured by way of hypothecation of Inventories, Book Debts and Receivables, both present and future.

b) Working Capital borrowings carry an average interest rate of 9.20% per annum as at 31st March, 2018

c) Working Capital Borrowings are renewed based on contract with bankers.

2 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES (IND AS 107):

The Company’s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprises of borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the company’s operations. The company’s principal financial assets, other than derivatives include trade and other receivables, investments and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.

The Company’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Company’s overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the company. The company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, to hedge foreign currency risk exposure. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.

The Company has standard operating procedures and investment policy for deployment of surplus liquidity, which allows investment in debt securities and mutual fund schemes of debt categories only and restricts the exposure in equity markets.

Compliances of these policies and principles are reviewed by internal auditors on periodical basis.

The Corporate Treasury team updates the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis about the implementation of the above policies. It also updates to the Internal Risk Management Committee of the Company on periodical basis about the various risk to the business and status of various activities planned to mitigate the risk.

A. Market Risk Management:

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and borrowings.

1) Foreign Currency Risk:

Foreign currency risk is the risk of impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an exposure in foreign currency, which fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to import of raw materials and spare parts, capital expenditure, exports of textile yarn and nylon chips.

When a derivative is entered for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure.

The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions. The Company follows established risk management policies and standard operating procedures. It uses derivative instruments like foreign currency forwards to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.

* EURO 17,691

Out of USD 80 Lacs Foreign Currency Exposure as at 31st March 2019, USD 74 Lacs was hedged and out of USD 47 Lacs as at 31st March 2018, USD 33 Lacs were hedged by forward contracts.

Forward Exchange Contracts:

Derivatives for hedging foreign currency risk with respect to outstanding payable/receivables & highly probable forecasted transaction

2) 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 relates primarily to the Company’s short-term borrowing. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost. Since all the borrowings are on floating rate, no significant risk of change in interest rate.

Note: If the rate is decreased by 100 bps profit will increase by an equal amount.

I nterest rate sensitivity has been calculated assuming the borrowings outstanding at the reporting date have been outstanding for the entire reporting period.

3) Commodity price risk

Commodity price risk for the Company is mainly related to fluctuations of raw materials prices linked to various external factors, which can affect the production cost of the Company. Company actively manages inventory and in many cases sale prices are linked to major raw material prices. Energy costs is also one of the primary costs’ drivers, any fluctuation in fuel prices can lead to drop in operating margin. To manage this risk, the Company enters into long-term supply agreement for power, identifying new sources of supply etc. Additionally, processes and policies related to such risks are reviewed and managed by senior management on continuous basis.

B. Credit Risk Management:

Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty does not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing/ investing activities, including deposits with banks, mutual fund investments, and investments in debt securities, foreign exchange transactions and financial guarantees. The Company has four major customers which represents 83% receivables as on 31st March, 2019 and company is receiving payments from these parties within due dates. Hence, the company has no significant credit risk related to these parties.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are consisting of a large number of customers. The Company has credit evaluation policy for each customer and based on the evaluation credit limit of each customer is defined. Wherever the Company assesses the credit risk as high the exposure is backed by either letter of credit or security deposits.

As per simplified approach, the Company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payments and makes appropriate provision at each reporting date wherever outstanding is for longer period and involves higher risk.

The Company makes provision for the trade receivable as per the following matrix:

Investments, Derivative Instruments, Cash and Cash Equivalent and Bank Deposit

Credit Risk on cash and cash equivalent, deposits with the banks/financial institutions is generally low as the said deposits have been made with the banks/financial institutions who have been assigned high credit rating by international and domestic rating agencies.

Credit Risk on Derivative Instruments are generally low as Company enters into the Derivative Contracts with the reputed Banks and Financial Institutions.

I nvestments of surplus funds are made only with approved Financial Institutions/ Counterparty. Investments primarily include investment in units of mutual funds. These Mutual Funds and Counterparties have low credit risk.

Total Non-current and current investments as on 31st March, 2019 is Rs. 16,845 Lacs (31st March, 2018 - Rs. 8,661 Lacs).

C. Liquidity risk management:

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company’s treasury team is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position through rolling forecasts based on expected cash flows.

The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities and investments at the reporting date based on contractual undiscounted payments.

3 (B) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (IND AS 113):

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The Company has established the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the values into 3 levels. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of financial instruments are:

Level 1: This hierarchy uses quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value of all bonds which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price or dealer quotations as at the reporting date.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (For example traded bonds, over the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on company specific estimates. The mutual fund units are valued using the closing Net Asset Value. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

The management assessed that fair value of cash and bank balances, trade receivables, trade payables, cash credits and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

(a) The fair values of the quoted investments/units of mutual fund schemes are based on market price/net asset value at the reporting date.

(b) The fair values of unquoted investments are based on net asset value at the reporting date.

(c) The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated as the present value determined using forward exchange rates and interest rate curve of the respective currencies.

(d) The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis or based on the contractual terms. The discount rates used is based on management estimates.

4 SEGMENT REPORTING (IND AS 108):

8 DISCLOSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH IND AS-19 ON “EMPLOYEE BENEFITS”

a) Defined Contribution Plans - The Company has recognised the following amounts in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year:

b) Defined Benefit Plans - Gratuity and Provident Fund

GRATUITY: Inherent Risk - The plan is defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risks pertaining to the plan. In particular, this exposes the Company to actuarial risk such as adverse salary growth, change in demographic experience, inadequate return on underlying plan assets. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature, the plan is not subject to any longevity risks. The Company operates a gratuity plan which is administered through Life Insurance Corporation and a trust which is administered through trustees. Every employee is entitled to a minimum benefit equivalent to 15 days salary last drawn for each completed year of service in line with Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. However, certain employees are entitled to benefit higher than the benefit prescribed under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The same is payable at the time of separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier or death in service.

i) A reconciliation of opening and closing balances of the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO):

ii) A reconciliation of the opening and closing balances of the fair value of plan assets:

Fair value of Plan Assets for gratuity represents the amount as confirmed by the Insurer Managed Funds.

iii) Amount recognised in Balance Sheet including a reconciliation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation in b (i) and the fair value of the plan assets in b (ii) to the assets and liabilities recognised in the balance sheet:

iv) The total expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss:

viii) The overall expected rate of return on assets is based on the expectation of the average long term rate of return expected on investments of the fund during the estimated term of the obligations.

ix) The Actual Return on Plan Assets is as follows:

xiv) The estimates of future salary increases considered in actuarial valuation takes into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.

xv) Asset liability matching strategy:

The money contributed by the Company to Gratuity Fund has to be invested. The trustee have outsourced management of investment to an Insurance Company. The Insurance Company in turn manage these funds as per mandate provided by the trustees and the asset allocation which is within permissible limits prescribed in insurance regulations. Due to restrictions in type of investments that can be held by the fund it is not possible to explicitly follow asset liability matching strategy. There is no compulsion on the part of company to fully prefund liability of the plan. The Company fund these benefit based on known liability and Level of underfunding of the plan.”

PROVIDENT FUND:

The Company makes contribution towards Provident fund for certain eligible employees to the trust, set up and administered by the Company, in line with the Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan guarantees interest at the rate notified by the Provident Fund Authorities. The contribution by the employer and employee together with the interest accumulated thereon are payable to employees at the time of their separation from the company or retirement, whichever is earlier. The benefits vest immediately on rendering of the services by the employee. The rules of the trust provides that if the board of trustees are unable to pay interest at the rate declared by the government under Para 60 of the Employees provident fund scheme, 1972 for the reason that the return on investment is less or for any other reason, then the deficiency shall be made good by the Company making interest shortfall a defined benefit plan. Accordingly, the Company has obtained actuarial valuation and based on the below provided assumptions there is no deficiency as at the balance sheet date. Hence, the liability is restricted towards monthly contributions only.

9 EXCEPTIONAL ITEM REPRESENTS:

For the year ended 31st March 2019, Rs. 454 Lacs towards write down of carrying value of machinery not in use and classified as held for sale and for the previous year ended 31st March 2018, Rs. 2491 Lacs towards profit on sale of property.

10 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (TO THE EXTENT NOT PROVIDED FOR) (IND AS 37):

(a) Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debt:

(b) Excise Department had issued an order dated 31st December 2013 denying the applicability of Notification No. 6/2000 dated 1st March 2000 which allowed payment of duty at specific rate instead of ad-valorem basis and raised a demand of Rs. 22,927 lacs plus interest thereon and penalty equivalent to demand amount against which the Company had filed an appeal before Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT). The CESTAT has admitted the appeal on pre-deposit of Rs. 700 lacs and granted stay against the recovery. The company has been advised by legal experts that it has a fair chance of ultimately succeeding in the matter and accordingly no provision is required to be made in accounts.

(c) The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India (“SC”) by their order dated February 28, 2019, in the case of Surya Roshani Limited & others v/s EPFO, set out the principles based on which allowances paid to the employees should be identified for inclusion in basic wages for the purposes of computation of Provident Fund contribution. Subsequently, a review petition against this decision has been filed and is pending before the SC for disposal.

11 CAPITAL AND OTHER COMMITMENTS:

(a) Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account , not provided for (net of advances) as on 31st March, 2019 is Rs. 454.35 Lacs. (31st March, 2018 - Rs. 412.68 Lacs).

(b) Other Commitments: The Company has renewed non-cancellable agreement with Gas Utility Company on 1st January, 2017 for purchase of LNG. Under this agreement, the Company is committed to purchase certain annual minimum quantity of LNG upto 31st December, 2021 failing which it will pay the seller for any shortfall in offtake of LNG based on an agreed formula. The cost of the minimum committed quantity as at 31st March, 2019 for the remaining period of the contract at current market prices approximates Rs. 2,055 Lacs (Previous Year Rs. 2,823 Lacs). Based on the current projection Company does not expect shortfall in offtake of minimum committed quantity and therefore no material foreseeable losses are expected.

12 DISCLOSURE UNDER THE MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES DEVELOPMENT ACT, 2006 :

Amounts due to Micro and Small Enterprises disclosed on the basis of information available with the Company regarding status of the suppliers are as follows:

13 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS (IND AS 115):

Effective from April 1, 2018, the Company has applied Ind AS 115 which establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is to be recognized. Ind AS 115 replaces Ind AS 18 Revenue and Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts. The company has adapted modified retrospective method and applies existing standards i.e. Ind AS 18 in comparative period.

The Company is primarily in the Business of manufacture and sale of Synthetic Yarn. Sales are made at a point in time and revenue from contract with customer are recognised when goods are dispatched and the control over the goods sold are transferred to customers. The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of goods and payment by customer exceeds one year. Hence, the Company does not adjust revenue for the time value of money.

In compliance with Ind AS 115, certain discounts are treated as variable components of consideration and have been recognised as deductions from revenue instead of other expenses. Such discount was recognized as deduction from revenue in previous period also. Hence, there is no requirement to restate comparative period.

a) Revenue recognised from Contract liability (Advances from Customers):

b) Reconciliation of revenue as per contract price and as recognised in statement of profit and loss:

14 GOODS AND SERVICE TAX (GST)

Effective July 01, 2017, sales are recorded net of GST whereas earlier sales were recorded gross of excise duty which formed part of expenses. Hence revenue from operations for the year ended March 31, 2019 are not comparable with the previous year corresponding figures.

15 AMENDMENTS TO IND AS:

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has notified following amendments to Ind AS on March 30, 2019 which is effective for the annual period beginning on or after April 01, 2019:

(a) Ind AS 116 Leases:

Ind AS 116 will replace the existing leases standard, Ind AS 17 Leases. Ind AS 116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. It introduces a single, on-balance sheet lessee accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees.

The Company will recognize a lease liability measured at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The right-of-use asset is recognised at its carrying amount as if the Standard had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as at April 1, 2019. In accordance with the standard, the Company will elect not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.

The Company will adopt Ind AS 116 effectively for the annual reporting period beginning April 1, 2019.

Except for the disclosure requirement, the new standard will not impact the company’s financial statements, as most of the Company’s leases are short term leases and the underlying assets is of low value.

(b) Ind AS 12 - Appendix C, Uncertainty over Income Tax Adjustments

The amendment requires an entity to determine probability of the relevant tax authority accepting the uncertain tax treatment that the Company have used in tax computation or plan to use in their income tax filings.

(c) Amendment to Ind AS 12 - Income taxes

The amendment clarifies that an entity shall recognize the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events.

(d) Ind AS 19 - Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement

The amendments require an entity to use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement and to recognize in profit or loss as part of past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, any reduction in a surplus, even if that surplus was not previously recognized because of the impact of the asset ceiling.

Based on preliminary assessment, the Company does not expect any significant impact on its financial statements on account of above amendments.

3. Amendment to Ind AS 102:

The amendment to Ind AS 102 provides specific guidance to measurement of cash-settled awards, modification of cash-settled awards and awards that include a net settlement feature in respect of withholding taxes.

4. DISCLOSURES AS REQUIRED BY IND AS 101 “FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IND AS”

These Financial statements, for the year ended 31st March, 2017 are the first, the Company has prepared in accordance with Ind AS. For the period upto and including the year ended 31st March, 2016, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read together with para 7 of the Companies (Accounts) rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP).

Accordingly, the Company has prepared its financial statements to comply with Ind AS for the year ending 31st March, 2017 together with comparative date as at end for the year ended 31st March, 2016 as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. In preparing these financial statements, the Company’s opening balance sheet was prepared as at 1st April, 2015. The Company’s date of transition to Ind AS. This note explains the principles adjustments made by the Company in restating its Indian GAAP financial statements, including the balance sheet as at 1st April, 2015 and the financial statement as at and for the year ended 31st March, 2016.

1. I nd AS 101 allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS. The Company has availed the following exemptions and exceptions:

A. Deemed cost for property, plant and equipment

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its plant and equipment and intangible assets as recognized as of 1st April, 2015 (transition date) measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.

B. Estimates

An entity’s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimate were in error.

Ind AS estimate as at 1st April, 2015 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP The Company made estimate for following items in accordance with Ind AS as the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP

- Investment in equity instruments carried at FVPL or FVOCI;

- Investment in debt instruments carried at FVPL and Impairment of financial assets based on expected credit loss model.

4. Notes to the Reconciliation of equity as at 1st April, 2015 and 31st March, 2016 and Total Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31st March, 2016

A. Fair valuation of Investments

Under the previous GAAP, investment in equity instruments and mutual funds were classified as long- term investments or current investments based on the intended holding period and reliability. Long- term investments were carried at cost less provision for diminution other than temporary, in the value of such investments. Current investments were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under Ind AS, these investments are required to be measured at fair value. The resulting fair value changes of these investments (other than equity instruments designated as at FVOCI) have been recognized in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the profit or loss for the year ending 31st March, 2016. This has resulted an increase in the retained earnings.

Fair value changes with respect to investments in equity instruments designated as at FVOCI have been recognized in FVOCI -Equity investments reserve as at the date of transition and subsequently in the comprehensive income for the year ended 31st March, 2016.

B. Deferred Tax

I GAAP rebus\ires deferred tax accounting using the income statement approach, which focuses on differences between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 requires to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The application of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on new temporary differences which was not required under IGAAP

In Addition, deferred tax adjustments is also done for transitional adjustments wherever they results in timing differences by corresponding adjustments to retained earnings or profit and loss account.

C. Proposed dividend

Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the board of directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the financial statements were considered as adjusting events. Accordingly, provision for proposed dividend was recognized as a liability. Under Ind AS, such dividends are recognized when the same is approved by the shareholders in the general meeting. Accordingly, the liability for proposed dividend included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the equity increased by an equivalent amount.

D. Remeasurements of post-employment benefit obligations

Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts including in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. Under the previous GAAP, these re measurements were forming part of the profit or loss for the year. As a result of this change, the profit for the year ended 31st March, 2016 has decreased. There is no impact on the total equity as at 31st March, 2016.

E. Asset classified as held for sale

Under previous GAAP, assets having carrying value of '' 776 Lacs were disclosed as ‘Asset held for sale” Considering at the low visibility of their sale, these assets are now reclassified under Property, Plant and Equipment and depreciation on these assets from the date they were classified as held for sale till reclassification has been charged with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings or Profit and loss account. Consequently, the equity decreased by an equivalent amount.

F. 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 re-measurement of defined benefits plans and fair value gains or losses on FVOCI equity instruments. The concept of other comprehensive income did not exist under previous GAAP.

The Company has standard operating procedures and investment policy for deployment of surplus liquidity, which allows investment in debt securities and mutual fund schemes of debt categories only and restricts the exposure in equity markets.

Compliances of these policies and principles are reviewed by internal auditors on periodical basis.

The Corporate Treasury team updates the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis to about the implementation of the above policies. It also updates to the Internal Risk Management Committee of the Company on periodical basis about the various risk to the business and status of various activities planned to mitigate the risk.

Market Risk:

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables, payables and borrowings.

Foreign Currency Risk:

Foreign currency risk is the risk of impact related to fair value or future cash flows of an exposure in foreign currency, which fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to import of raw materials and spare parts, capital expenditure, exports of textile yarn and nylon chips.

When a derivative is entered into for the purpose of being a hedge, the Company negotiates the terms of those derivatives to match the terms of the hedged exposure.

The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions. The Company follows established risk management policies and standard operating procedures. It uses derivative instruments like foreign currency forwards to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.

Above foreign currency exposure is hedged by forward contracts and accordingly the company does not have any unhedged foreign currency exposure.

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 relates primarily to the Company’s short term borrowing. The Company constantly monitors the credit markets and rebalances its financing strategies to achieve an optimal maturity profile and financing cost.

Note: If the rate is decreased by 100 bps profit will increase by an equal amount.

Interest rate sensitivity has been calculated assuming the borrowings outstanding at the reporting date have been outstanding for the entire reporting period.

Forward Exchange Contracts:

Derivatives for hedging foreign currency risk with respect to outstanding payable/receivables & highly probable forecasted transaction:

Credit Risk Management:

Credit risk arises when a customer or counterparty does not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing/ investing activities, including deposits with banks, mutual fund investments, and investments in debt securities, foreign exchange transactions and financial guarantees. The Company has two major clients which represents 78% receivables as on 31st March, 2017 and company is receiving payments from these parties within due dates. Hence, the company has no significant credit risk related to these parties.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are consisting of a large number of customers. The Company has credit evaluation policy for each customer and based on the evaluation credit limit of each customer is defined. Wherever the Company assesses the credit risk as high the exposure is backed by either letter of credit or security deposits.

As per simplified approach, the Company makes provision of expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix to mitigate the risk of default payments and makes appropriate provision at each reporting date wherever outstanding is for longer period and involves higher risk.

All the Trade Receivables are less than 6 months and hence there is no provision as per expected credit loss model.

Investments, Derivative Instruments, Cash and Cash Equivalent and Bank Deposit

Credit Risk on cash and cash equivalent, deposits with the banks/financial institutions is generally low as the said deposits have been made with the banks/financial institutions who have been assigned high credit rating by international and domestic rating agencies.

Credit Risk on Derivative Instruments are generally low as Company enters into the Derivative Contracts with the reputed Banks and Financial Institutions.

Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved Financial Institutions/ Counterparty. Investments primarily include investment in units of mutual funds. These Mutual Funds and Counterparties have low credit risk.

Total Non-current and current investments as on 31st March, 2017 is Rs, 9803 lacs (31st March , 2016 - Rs, 7977 lacs ; 1st April, 2015- Rs, 1713 lacs) Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of credit facilities to meet obligations when due. The Company’s treasury team is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities and investments at the reporting date based on contractual undiscounted payments.

5(B) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (IND AS 113):

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The Company has established the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the values into 3 levels. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of financial instruments are:

Level 1: This hierarchy uses quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value of all bonds which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price or dealer quotations as at the reporting date.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (For example traded bonds, over the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on company specific estimates. The mutual fund units are valued using the closing Net Asset Value. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

The management assessed that fair value of cash and bank balances, trade receivables, trade payables, cash credits, commercial papers and other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

(a) The fair values of the quoted investments/units of mutual fund schemes are based on market price/net asset value at the reporting date.

(b) The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is calculated as the present value determined using forward exchange rates and interest rate curve of the respective currencies.

(c) The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis or based on the contractual terms. The discount rates used is based on management estimates.

6. SEGMENT REPORTING (IND AS 108):

The Company is exclusively engaged in the business of synthetic yarn related products primarily in India. As per Ind AS 108 “Operating Segments” specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, there are no reportable operating or geographical segments applicable to the Company.

b) Defined Benefit Plans - Gratuity and Provident Fund Gratuity:

Inherent Risk - The plan is defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the risks pertaining to the plan. In particular, this exposes the Company to actuarial risk such as adverse salary growth, change in demographic experience, inadequate return on underlying plan assets. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to employees in future. Since the benefits are lump sum in nature, the plan is not subject to any longevity risks.

The Company operates a gratuity plan which is administered through Life Insurance Corporation and a trust which is administered through trustees. Every employee is entitled to a minimum benefit equivalent to 15 days salary last drawn for each completed year of service in line with Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. However, certain employees are entitled to benefit higher than the benefit prescribed under Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The same is payable at the time of separation from the Company or retirement, whichever is earlier or death in service.

xiii) The estimates of future salary increases considered in actuarial valuation takes into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.

Provident Fund:

The Company makes contribution towards Provident fund for certain eligible employees to the trust, set up and administered by the Company, in line with the Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The plan guarantees interest at the rate notified by the Provident Fund Authorities. The contribution by the employer and employee together with the interest accumulated thereon are payable to employees at the time of their separation from the company or retirement, whichever is earlier. The benefits vest immediately on rendering of the services by the employee. The rules of the trust provides that if the board of trustees are unable to pay interest at the rate declared by the government under Para 60 of the Employees provident fund scheme, 1972 for the reason that the return on investment is less or for any other reason, then the deficiency shall be made good by the Company making interest shortfall a defined benefit plan. Accordingly, the Company has obtained actuarial valuation and based on the below provided assumptions there is no deficiency as at the balance sheet date. Hence, the liability is restricted towards monthly contributions only.
