2 Operations

The Board of Directors is pleased to share your Company's continued progress, as reflected in its growth in margins and profitability inspite of challenging situations.

The brief highlights of operations for the Financial Year 2020-21 are as under :-

  • The revenue from Operations was 57,733 Lacs for FY 2020-21 as against 60,849 Lacs for FY 2019-20.
  • Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased to 7,208 Lacs in FY 2020-21 from 7,007 Lacs in FY 2019-20, an increase of 2.87%.
  • Profit before tax increased to 5,319 Lacs in FY 2020-21 from 5,154 Lacs in FY 2019-20, an increase of 3.21%.
  • Profit after tax increased to 3,735 in FY 2020-21 from 3,718 Lacs in FY 2019-20, an increase of 0.46%.
  • Export Market continued to face severe headwinds and coupled with volatile currency fluctuations impacted export revenue in FY2020-21.

D espite reduction in sales by 5% due to challenging pandemic situation, Company achieved EBITDA of 7,208 Lacs, which is highest ever in the history of Company. EBITDA margin has increased by approx. 100 bps to 12.50%. Similarly PBT of 5319 Lacs is highest ever in the history of Company.

As a part of its cost control measure Company has commissioned two solar power plants at its units situated at Daman and Palsana in September, 2020 which would help the Company in conservation of energy and cost rationalisation.

` During the previous year i.e. FY 2019-20, Company had received interest assistance of 384 Lacs under the "Scheme for Assistance for Plastic Industry" of Gujarat Government towards borrowing for investment in Palsana Plant which was netted off in Finance cost. The remaining assistance of Rs. 116 Lacs which was supposed to be received in FY 2020-21, is not yet received inspite of submission of claim.

Due to lockdown/COVID-19 impact, the eligible export incentive to be received from DGFT by way of advance license/MEIS incentive was reduced by 300 Lacs in FY 2020-21. `

Huge volatility in Polymer prices were experienced during Q3 and most of the part of Q4. Polymer prices hit multiyear high due to shortage issues. Similarly other input prices too escalated. The freight cost in export segment continued to be at all time high. Company in initial phase decided to partially absorb price increase and gradually passed it on to the customers. Due to timely action initiated Company had successfully minimized the impact of aforesaid issues.

However despite all these challenges profitability of the Company is on rise which demonstrate that the strategic steps taken by Company in past several years to have financial strength, to change its product mix and move to more value added products and effective cost rationalisation exercises at all level are yielding positive results. Various product family namely Additive, Black, Colour achieved highest ever sales value in history of Company.

In past several years, Company had adopted technological advancement in timely manner and done digitisation which has helped us overcome the challenges faced during COVID-19.

Due to slowdown in economic activity caused by COVID-19 pandemic large number of manufacturing companies had to cut down on workforce or employees had to face pay cuts or work without pay, which further compounded their difficulties. It is with great pride we would like to mention that despite challenging times, Company not only paid 100% of Salary to all of its employees whether they were working from home or not working at all, but also gave increment to ensure that employees' morale remains high and they are able to take care of themselves and their families. Medical insurance with enhanced amount was extended to cover family members of all the employees and Company took Group Term Life (GTL) Insurance policy for all its employees by which all its employees are covered with sum assured upto 1 time of their respective CTC Salary or 10 lacs whichever is higher. The said Sum Assured is payable on death, which gives financial support to family in case of untimely death. In order to extend support for COVID-19 employees were also covered under "Home Care Treatment Plan". Here it would be noteworthy to point that Shri Satyanarayan G. Kabra, CMD and Shri Varun S. Kabra, VCMD has foregone their increment since last two years and had also relinquished their remuneration for the month of April, 2020 which was indicative of their sensitivity towards issues faced by employees. `

The Company also believes in returning back to society and as a part of its CSR initiative Company had contributed 100 Lacs to "PM CARES FUND" during March, 2020 and in FY 2020-21 has also provided ventilators to state agencies and contributed to the project in which meal was served to affected communities during the difficult period of COVID-19 pandemic. `

Company's outlook is very optimistic considering Indian economy is eyeing "V" Shaped recovery. The "Make In India / Atmanirbhar Bharat" initiative supported by "Production Linked Incentive" will help several sectors to grow substantially to whom Company is serving. Company is confident about its growth trajectory in time to come as it has several products in pipeline, eyeing new geographies /new customers supported by consistent strong financial ratios.

Your Company has significantly grown after each challenges be it demonetization, introduction of GST and E Way bill, Plastic bag ban etc. We are confident that we will further strengthen ourselves as all necessary measures in terms of mitigating the impact of COVID-19 pandemic are taken.

Economic activity picked up some pace in second and third quarter, however different mutations of COVID-19 again caused surge in infections as second & third waves resulting in disruption of economic activity. As a result global economy contracted 3.5 per cent in 2020.

This was mainly on account of announcement of special economic package by Government of India of ` 21 Lacs Crore to support various sectors of Indian economy. However Indian economy has contracted at 8% during FY 2020-21 as per second advance estimates by NSO (National Statistical Office).

Just when everyone was thinking of return of the economic activity to its pre-covid levels a more severe surge in cases in March 2021 again compelled many State Governments to impose strict lockdown like restrictions thus adversely affecting rebounding economic activity. The economic outlook therefore is difficult to assess, however with the aggressive vaccination of Indian population and with various stimulus packages being announced by Indian Government we are hopeful of significant economic growth in FY 2021-22

II. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

The COVID-19 pandemic has reemphasized the indispensable role of plastics in our daily life. Plastics in terms of personal protective equipment (PPEs) and other single-use medical equipment along with packaging solutions owing to their inherent properties have emerged as a life-savior for protecting the health and safety of the frontline health workers and the common citizens during the pandemic. This has resulted in plastics industry being affected to a lesser degree as compared to other sectors. Many plastic manufacturing units were operating as essential commodity even in the period of lockdown in various parts of the world supplying utmost important personal protective equipment, face marks, face shields etc. for protection of world population. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimated requirement of 89 million medical masks, 76 million examination gloves and 1.6 million goggles for COVID-19 response every month. The pandemic has revealed the true potential of plastics. Its importance has grown manifold during the pandemic due to demand for hazmat suits, N-95 masks, gloves, visors, goggles and shoe covers - all of which are made of polypropylene / plastics.

Indian plastic Industry has over 50,000 plastic processing units employing more than 50 Lacs people across the Country. Almost 80% to 90% of the total manufacturing units are in small & medium scale sector. The Industry is very fragmented and majority of the manufacturers are from unorganized sector and very few are from organized sector. Plastic industry consumes around seventy five percent of the petrochemicals production, which is quite significant.

One of the vital components of plastics industry worldwide is masterbatch, which consists of pigments and additives used for imparting required color and characteristics to the end products. It is a concentrated mixture of pigments and additives encapsulated during a heat process into a carrier resin, which is then cooled and cut into a granular shape. It imparts various properties like Ultraviolet light resistance, Flame retardation, Anti-fouling, Anti-static, Lubrication, Anti-slip, Antimicrobial, Anti-oxidant etc to end products. Use of Masterbatches in production process offers many benefits like cost-effectiveness, easy to use, helps achieve the desired color and ensures a dirt-free production environment. Your Company is leader in manufacturing of Masterbatches and has presence in practically all segment of Masterbatch i.e. White / Black / Colour / Additive / Polywhite (filler) unlike most of other competitors who are not present in all segments.

We had regular one-to-one connection session with our employees where we enquired their wellbeing and offered the support that we could.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To The Members of Plastiblends India Limited

Report on the audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Plastiblends India Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2021, the profit and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Sr. No. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
1. Contingent LiabilityThe Company has litigations of duties and taxesthat are pending with various tax authorities.Whether a liability is recognized or disclosed asa contingent liability in the financial statements isinherently judgmental and dependent onassumptions and assessments. We placedspecific focus on the judgements in respect tothese demands against the Company.Determining the amount, if any, to be recognizedor disclosed in the financial statements, isinherently subjective. Therefore, it is consideredto be a key audit matter. (Refer Note 33 tofinancial statements) Our procedures included, but were not limited to, the following:•Obtained an understanding from the management withrespect to process and controls followed by the Companyfor identification and monitoring of significantdevelopments in relation to the litigations, includingcompleteness thereof.•Obtained the list of litigations from the management andreviewed their assessment of the likelihood of outflow ofeconomic resources being probable, possible or remote inrespect of the litigations.•Assessed management's discussions held with their legalconsultants and understanding precedents in similarcases;

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate Governance and Business Responsibility Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report, hence our opinion is based on the Financial Statements only.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate Governance and Business Responsibility Report, If we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on

whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

    1. As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, based on our audit we report that:
    • a) We have sought and obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit.
    • b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appears from our examination of those books.

    • d) In our opinion, the aforesaid financial statements comply with the Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.
    • e) On the basis of the written representations received from the directors as on March 31, 2021 taken on record by the Board of Directors, none of the directors is disqualified as on March 31, 2021 from being appointed as a director in terms of Section 164 (2) of the Act.

ANNEXURE "A" TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report to the Members of PLASTIBLENDS INDIA LIMITED of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub- section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Plastiblends India Limited ("the Company") as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Management and Board of Directors of the Company 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. 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 respective 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.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements 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 the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 judgement, 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 internal financial controls system over financial reporting with reference to these financial statements. Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with reference to these financial statements

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 authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) 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.

Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with reference to these 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, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, 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 March 31, 2021, 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.

NOTES FORMING PART OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 (A): Company Overview and Significant Accounting Policies

Plastiblends India Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") is a Public Limited Company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956, having its registered office at Mumbai, India. The Company has manufacturing facilities at Daman (UT), Roorkee (Uttarakhand) and Palsana (Surat-Gujrat). The Company is engaged into manufacturing of Masterbatches.

Significant Accounting Policies :

a) Statement of Compliance :

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended from time to time, the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), as applicable.

The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on th 20 May, 2021.

b) Basis of preparation of Accounts :

Basis of Preparation :

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following assets and liabilities:

  • i. Certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and classified as fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss ; and
  • ii. Employee's Defined Benefit Plan as per Actuarial Valuation.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In determining the fair market value of an asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement data.

Functional and Presentation Currency :

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is the functional currency of the Company and the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. All amounts have been rounded off to the nearest Lakh except share data, unless otherwise indicated.

Classification of Assets and Liabilities into Current/Non-Current :

The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of Current/ Non-Current classification of its Assets and Liabilities.

For the purpose of Balance Sheet, an asset is classified as current if:

  • i. It is expected to be realised, or is intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle; or
  • ii. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading; or
  • iii. It is expected to realise the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
  • iv. The asset is a cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

Similarly, a liability is classified as current if :

  • i. It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle; or
  • ii. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading; or
  • iii. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
  • iv. The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments at the option of the counterparty does not affect this classification.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

c) Investment property :

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost includes the cost of replacing parts and borrowing costs for long term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of the property are required to be replaced at intervals, the Company deprecates them separately based on their specific useful lives.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized to the assets carrying amount only when it is certain that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance and other costs are expensed when incurred.

Investment properties are de-recognized either when they have been disposed off or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the statement of profit and loss in the period of derecognition

d) Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) :

PPE is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The initial cost of PPE comprises of its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing an asset to working condition and location for its intended use, including relevant borrowing costs and any expected costs of decommissioning,

Subsequent expenditure relating to PPE are capitalised only when it is probable that future economic associated with these will flow to the Company and cost of the item can be measured realibly. Repairs and maintenance cost are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which the costs are incurred.

Material items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and service equipment are classified as PPE when they meet the definition of PPE as specified in Ind AS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.

e) Capital Work in Progress :

Advances paid towards acquisition of PPE outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets and cost of the assets not put to use before such date are disclosed under Capital Work in Progress.

f) Depreciation :

Depreciation is calculated on cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and is generally recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Freehold land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful life of items of property, plant and equipment are as follows: (work under process)

Asset Category Useful Life
Building 30 to 60 Years
Plant and Equipment 05 to 15 Years
Solar Power Generation System 25 Years
Office Equipment 05 Years
Furniture and Fixture 10 Years
Computer & Data Processing Units 03 to 06 Years
Vehicles 08 to 10 Years

Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (up to) the date/month on which asset is ready for use (disposed of).

g) Reclassification to investment property :

When the use of a property changes from owner-occupies to investment property, the property is reclassified as investment property at its carrying amount on the date of reclassification.

h) Intangible Assets and Amortization :

Intangible assets with finite useful life that are acquired separately are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The Company determines the useful life as the period over which the future economic benefits will flow to the Company after taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances.

The Company has determined useful life of software as 3 years.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the net carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Research and development costs

Expenditure pertaining to research is expensed as incurred. Expenditure incurred on development is capitalised if such expenditure leads to creation of an asset, otherwise such expenditure is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

i) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets :

Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less cost of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cashgenerating units).

j) Inventories :

Inventories are valued as follows:

Inventories are valued at Lower of Weighted Average cost or estimated net realisable value & are net of Goods and Service Tax (GST). Cost includes cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories at their present location and condition. Cost of conversion for the purpose of valuation of WIP and finished goods includes fixed and variable production overheads incurred in converting the material into their present condition and location.

Inventory of machinery spares and maintenance materials not being material are expensed in the year of purchase. However, machinery spares that meets the definition of property, plant and equipment are capitalized in the financial statements.

k) Borrowing Costs :

Borrowing cost includes interest, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or development of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the year they occur.

l) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets :

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of time value of money and where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Unwinding of the discount is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Contingent liabilities are also disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

Claims against the Company where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities.

Contingent assets are not recognized in financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognized.

m) Revenue Recognition :

Revenue from contract with customers

Revenue is recognized on the basis of approved contracts regarding the transfer of goods or services to a customer for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the goods supplied and services rendered, net of returns, discount to dealers and customers. Revenue excludes amount collected on behalf of third parties viz. Goods and Service Tax (GST). Any amount receivable from the customers are recognized as revenue after the control over the goods are transferred to the customer which is generally on dispatch of goods.

Variable consideration includes discounts provided to the dealers and customers. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that significant reversal will not occur.

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.

Dividend Income

Dividends are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

Interest Income

Interest Income is recognized using Effective Interest Method.

n) Lease :

Accounting policy applicable from April 1, 2019

The Company has applied Ind AS 116 Leases from the accounting periods beginning from April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach.

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

    1. the contract involves the use of an identified asset this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified.
    1. the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
    1. the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:
    • a the Company has the right to operate the asset; or
    • b the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into or modified, on or after April 1, 2019. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.

Company as a lessee

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of rightof-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Policy applicable before 1 April 2019

For contracts entered into before 1 April 2019, the Company determined whether the arrangement was or contained a lease based on the assessment of whether:

  • fulfilment of the arrangement was dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets;
  • the arrangement had conveyed a right to use the asset.

o) Government Grant :

  • Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with.
  • When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed.
  • When the grant relates to property, plant and equipment, the cost of property, plant and equipment is shown at gross value and grant thereon is recognized as deferred income and are credited to statement of profit and loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

p) Employee Benefit Expense :

Defined benefit plan :

The Company pays gratuity to the employees whoever has completed five years of service with the Company at the time of resignation/superannuation. The gratuity liability amount is contributed to the approved gratuity fund formed exclusively for gratuity payment to the employees.

The liability in respect of gratuity and other post-employment benefits is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the period during which the benefit is expected to be derived from employees' services.

Re-measurement of defined benefit plans in respect of post-employment are charged to the Other Comprehensive Income. Re-measurement recognised in OCI is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss.

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on Government bonds.

The defined benefit obligation recognised in the Balance Sheet represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

Defined contribution plan :

Payments to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

The eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits in respect of provident fund, for which both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions at a specified percentage of the covered employees' salary. The contributions as specified under the law are made to the Government Provident Fund monthly.

Short-term employee benefits :

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave in the period the related service is rendered. Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

q) Income Taxes :

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in the comprehensive income or in equity. In which case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

Current Tax :

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance sheet date.

Deferred Tax :

Deferred tax is recognized 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 profit.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The carrying amount of Deferred Tax Liabilities and assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable.

r) Foreign Currency Transactions :

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are restated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing on the Balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement and restatement of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in the statement of profit and loss, Non- monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost of foreign currencies are not translated.

s) Earnings Per Share :

The basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed by dividing the net profit / (loss) after tax for the year attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, net profit/(loss) after tax for the year attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

t) Financial Instruments :

Financial Assets & Financial Liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes party to contractual provisions of the relevant instrument.

Initial Recognition and Measurement :

All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities, which are not at fair value through profit or loss, are adjusted to the fair value on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to acquisition or issue of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss at recognized immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement : Financial Assets

Financial assets carried at Amortised Cost :

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective 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 principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI) :

A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI if it is held within 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.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) :

A financial asset which is not classified in any of the above categories are measured at FVTPL.

Investment in Equity Instruments designated to be classified as FVTOCI :

The Company carries certain equity instruments which are not held for trading. The Company has elected the FVTOCI irrevocable option for these instruments. Movements in fair value of these investments are recognized in other comprehensive income and the gain or loss is not reclassified to statement of profit and loss on disposal of these investments. Dividends from these investments are recognized in statement of profit and loss when the Company's right to receive dividends is established.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement: Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Impairment of financial assets :

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company uses 'Expected Credit Loss' (ECL) model, for evaluating impairment of financial assets other than those measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).

For trade receivables Company applies 'simplified approach' which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. The Company calculates the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix on the basis of its historical credit loss experience.

For other assets, the Company uses 12 month ECL to provide for impairment loss where there is no significant increase in credit risk. If there is significant increase in credit risk full lifetime ECL is used.

Derecognition of Financial Instruments :

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition under Ind AS 109.

A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized from the Company's Balance Sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

u) Cash and cash equivalent :

Cash and cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand that are readily convertible into cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

v) Derivative Financial Instruments :

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments viz. foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure foreign exchange rate risks. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

w) Segment Reporting - Identification of Segments :

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company's management to make decisions for which discrete financial information is available.

Based on the management approach as defined in Ind AS 108, the management evaluates the Company's performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by business segments and geographic segments.

x) Cash Dividend:

The Company recognizes a liability to make cash distributions to equity holders when the distribution is authorized and approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.

Note 1(B): Use of Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 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.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

a) 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.

b) Defined Benefit Plans and Compensated Absences :

The cost of the defined benefit plans, compensated absences and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, attrition 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.

c) Expected Credit Losses on Financial Assets :

The impairment provisions of financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected timing of collection. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company's past history, customer's creditworthiness, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

d) 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

e) Contingent Liability :

The Company has received various orders and notices from tax authorities in respect of direct taxes and indirect taxes. The outcome of these matters may have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management regularly analyses current information about these matters and discloses the information of related contingent liability.in making the decision regarding the need of creating loss provision, management considers the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a sufficiently reliable estimate of the amount of loss. The filing of a suit or formal assertion of a claim against the Company or the disclosure of any such suit or assertions, does not automatically indicate that a provision of a loss may be appropriate.

Note 37 : Employee Benefits (Ind AS 19) :

a. Defined Benefit Plans :

Gratuity :

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, applicable for Indian Companies, the Company provides for a lump sum payment to eligible employees, at retirement or termination of employment based on the last drawn salary and years of employment with the Company. The gratuity fund is managed by certain third-party fund managers. The Company's obligation in respect of the gratuity plan, which is a defined benefit plan, is provided for based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses immediately in other comprehensive income, net of taxes.

Inherent Risk:

The plan is defined 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 Salary Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Investment Risk, changes in demographic experience. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to the employees in future. Since the benefits are lump-sum in nature, the plan is not subject to any longevity risk.

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. Kabra Extrusiontechnik Limited is listed on stock exchange and the investment by the Company is being valued using the closing exchange price at the reporting date.

Level 2 : The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on Company specific estimates. The Venture Capital Fund (Urban Infrastructure Fund) & Gold PTC (Liquid Gold series - 2 Nov 2020 & Liquid Gold series 4) 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. There are no instruments which are to be considered in Level 3.
