i. Risk Management Framework

The Company is exposed to normal business risks from changes in market interest rates and currency exchange rates and from nonperformance of contractual obligations by counterparties. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Risk management is integral to the whole business of the Company. The Company has a system of controls in place to create an acceptable balance between the cost of risks occurring and the cost of managing the risks. The management continually monitors the Company''s risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved.

ii. Credit risk

Credit Risk is the risk that the counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or a 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 activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

Trade Receivables

The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Company''s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed quarterly. Any sales exceeding those limits require approval from the designated authorities of the management. The management mitigates the credit risk from some customer by accepting letter of credits from them.

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk from trade receivables by establishing a maximum payment period of four months for export customers respectively. On account of adoption of Ind AS109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 6(A), 6(B), 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

iii. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company''s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

As of 31 March 2018, the Company had cash and bank balances of Rs.5,640.10 lakhs. As of 31 March 2017, the Company had cash and bank balances of Rs.1,058.46 lakhs.

While remaining class of property, plant and equipment are carried at historical cost determined in accordance with retrospective application of Ind AS. (Refer Note 43.1.1.1)

The resulting fair value changes consequent to the measurement of property, plant and equipment at their fair value have been recognized in retained earnings as at the date of transition. This increased retained earnings by Rs. 22,227.97 Lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (01 April 2015 - Rs. 22,227.97 Lakhs)

Basis fair value changes in measurement of certain class of property, plant and equipment, depreciation on such increase have been charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 March 2016 and profit on sale of Property, Plant and Equipment has been re-measured.

Consequent to the above, the total equity as at 31 March 2016 has increased by Rs. 21,227.20 lakhs (01 April 2015- Rs. 22,227.97 lakhs) and profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 decreased by Rs.1,000.77 lakhs.

43. Fair valuation of investment (other than investment in subsidiary)

Under the previous GAAP, investments 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 other than temporary decline in the value of such investments, as determined by the Board of Directors based on periodical review.

Under Ind AS, these investments are required to be measured at fair value (except for investments in subsidiaries for which exemption with regard to deemed cost has been adopted).

Fair value changes with respect to investments in equity instruments (other than in subsidiaries) designated at FVOCI have been recognized in retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2016. This increased other reserves (FVOCI) by Rs. 221.81 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (01 April 2015Rs. 320.02 lakhs).

As a result of fair valuation of equity instruments as on 01st April 2015, gain on disposal of equity instruments amounting to Rs. 130.08 lakhs recognized under previous GAAP has been reversed during the year ended 31 March 2016 and a loss is recognized in OCI amounting to Rs. 71.68 lakhs with a corresponding impact on the profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 and OCI for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Under the previous GAAP, 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 have been recognized in the retained earnings as at the date of transition and subsequently in the statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 March, 2016. This increased retained earnings by Rs. 864.23 lakhs (1 April, 2015 - Rs.205.95 lakhs). Also as a result of fair valuation of mutual fund as on 1st April, 2015, gain on disposal of mutual funds amounting to Rs.205.95 lakhs have been reversed during the year ended 31st March, 2016

44. Loan to subsidiary carried at amortized cost

Under the previous GAAP, financial assets are initially recognized and carried at cost. Under Ind AS, the Company has classified and measured interest free loan given by it to Dhunseri Infrastructure Limited, a subsidiary company at amortized cost. The resulting change in the carrying amount of this financial asset has been recognized in the investment in subsidiary as at the date of transition. Interest income from this financial asset measured using effective interest rate method have been credited to the statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 March 2016 under interest income. This has decreased loan to related party as at 31 March 2016 by Rs. 427.06 lakhs (01 April 2015 - Rs. 427.06 lakhs) and increased investment in subsidiary by Rs. 427.06 lakhs (01 April 2015 - Rs. 427.06 lakhs) and this has no impact on the total equity as on 1st April, 2015.

Consequent to the above, total equity as at 31 March 2016 increased by Rs. 427.06 lakhs (01 April 2015- Rs. Nil lakhs) with a corresponding increase in profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 by an equivalent amount.

45. Fair Value of investment in subsidiary

Under the previous GAAP, investment in subsidiaries were carried at cost less provision for other than temporary decline in the value of such investments, as determined by the Board of Directors based on periodical review. Under Ind AS, the Company has elected to measure its investment in Dhunseri Infrastructure Limited at fair value and investment in Egyptian Indian Polyester Company S.A.E at its previous GAAP carrying amount as at the transition date and considered these as their deemed cost pursuant to optional exemption given under Ind AS 101.

The resulting fair value changes on measurement of investment in Dhunseri Infrastructure Limited at fair value have been recognized in retained earnings as at the date of transition. This decreased retained earnings and consequently total equity as at 31 March 2016 by Rs.427.06 lakhs (01 April, 2015 - Rs.427.06 lakhs).

46. Financial Instrument - Derivative Contract

Under the previous GAAP, forward contract cost were accounted for as prescribed under AS 11 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates" under which forward premium was amortized over the period of forward contracts and forward contracts were stated at the yearend spot exchange rate and gains / losses on settlement on aforesaid contracts and mark to market loss relating to outstanding contracts as at the balance sheet date in respect of derivative contracts (other than forward exchange contract covered under Accounting Standard 11 on "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates"), were recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss.

Under Ind AS 109, all derivative financial instruments are to be marked to market and any resultant gain or loss on settlement as well as on outstanding contracts as at the balance sheet date is to be charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.

Accordingly, the marked to market gain/loss has been recognized on all derivative contracts and unamortized forward premium balance and exchange gain / loss on reinstatement of forward contracts, if any, under aforesaid AS 11 has been reversed. As a result of this adjustments, the retained earnings and consequently total equity as at 31 March 2016 is higher by Rs.5.57 lakhs (01 April 2015 - Rs. 86.25 lakhs). The profit for the year ended 31 March, 2016 is lower by Rs.80.14 lakhs.

47. Deferred Tax

The Company has recognized deferred tax on the adjustments made on transition to Ind AS. The corresponding adjustments have been made in retained earnings. Deferred tax on Ind AS adjustments have been charged or credited subsequently to the statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 March, 2016. This resulted into increase in deferred tax liabilities as at31 March 2016 by Rs.6,530.80 lakhs (01 April 2015 - Rs.6,591.40 lakhs) with a corresponding impact on retained earnings.

Consequent to the above, total equity as at 31 March 2016 has decreased by Rs.6,530.80 lakhs (01 April 2015 - Rs. 6,591.40 lakhs) and profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 has increased by Rs.58.60 lakhs.

48. Borrowings and Other financial liabilities

Ind AS 109 requires transaction costs incurred towards origination of borrowings to be deducted from the carrying amount of borrowings on initial recognition. These costs are recognized in the statement of profit and loss over the tenure of the borrowing as part of the other borrowing cost by applying the effective interest rate method.

Under previous GAAP, these transaction costs were charged to statement of profit and loss as and when incurred. Accordingly, non-current borrowings have been reduced by Rs. 406.44 lakhs as at 31st March, 2016 (01 April, 2015- Rs.564.33 lakhs) with a corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. The total equity increased by an equivalent amount. The profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 decreased by Rs.157.89 lakhs as a result of the additional other borrowing cost.

49. Proposed Dividend and Tax on Proposed Dividend

Under the previous GAAP, dividends proposed by the Board of Directors after the balance sheet date but before the approval of the same by the shareholders of the company 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 and tax on proposed dividend aggregating to Rs. 1,686.20 lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (01 April 2015 - Rs. 1,686.20 lakhs) included under provisions has been reversed with corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. Consequently, the total equity increased by an equivalent amount.

50. Security Deposits

Under the previous GAAP, interest free lease security deposits (that are refundable in cash on completion of the lease term) are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial assets are required to be recognized at fair value. Accordingly, the Company has fair valued these security deposits under Ind AS. Difference between the fair value and transaction value of the security deposit has been recognized as prepaid rent. Consequent to this change, the amount of security deposits decreased by Rs. Nil lakhs at 31 March 2016 (01 April 2015-Rs. 27.82 lakhs). The prepaid rent increased by Rs. Nil lakhs as at 31 March 2016 (01 April 2015- Rs.27.82 lakhs). The profit for the year and total equity as at 31 March 2016 decreased by Rs. 5.57 lakhs due to amortization of the prepaid rent which was partially off-set by the notional interest income of Rs.4.42 lakhs recognized on security deposits.

51. Re-measurements of Post-employment Benefit Obligations

Under Ind AS, re-measurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income instead of statement of profit and 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, employee benefits expense for the year ended 31 March, 2016 has been increased by Rs.1.36 lakhs resulting into decrease in profit by an equivalent amount with the corresponding increase in the other comprehensive income. There is no impact on the total equity as at 31 March, 2016.

52. Gain/(Loss) on disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment

Under Ind AS, the company has elected to measure certain class of property, plant and equipment at its fair value as at the transition date and considered such value as deemed cost at that date (Refer Note 32 and 43.1.1.1). This has resulted into decrease in loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment during the year ended 31 March 2016 by Rs. 5.13 lakhs.

Consequent to the above, total equity as at 31 March, 2016 and profit for the year ended on that date has increased by Rs. 5.13 Lakhs

The Company holds long term strategic investment in Egyptian Indian Polyester Company S.A.E ( EIPET), a subsidiary company in Egypt amounting to Rs.196.26 crores (Refer Note 15). EIPET commenced its operation in 2014. On account of loss in the initial period of operation, 100% net worth of EIPET has been eroded as at 31st December, 2015 and operation of the plant has temporarily ceased mainly due to shortage of working capital. The losses were primarily due to certain unprecedented business conditions. However, the management of the Company is confident that after the initial years of operations in which EIPET suffered loss, the subsidiary will recover as the plant is in proximity to developed markets with quality of product well accepted with the customers. Besides, the plant operations were also smooth in the production phase. To mitigate the temporary financial crisis a restructuring plan is under process with the lenders. Thus taking into account the actions being taken by the management and other factors as set out above, diminution in the value of the long term and strategic investment in EIPET is considered to be temporary in nature at this stage and no provisioning for diminution is considered necessary by management at this stage as per applicable accounting standards.
