BUSINESS REVIEW

The outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to have a significant adverse impact on the global economy. The Indian economy is expected to shrink in FY 2020-21, with a higher contraction in the first quarter.

As the Covid-19 pandemic has spread across India since March 2020 and the Govt. of India had announced a nationwide lockdown on March 24, 2020. the Company had temporarily suspended all its manufacturing operations in Gujarat located at Moxi, Nandesari, Katol and Dahej in Gujarat.

Due to the complete lockdown and the resultant slowdown in operations, demand and sales, the demand for Company's products remains muted as of now and this will have an impact on the profitability for the relevant period.

Your Company is having an active focused approach, to ensure minimal impact to during this crisis. An increase in receivables is expected for a temporary period resulting in higher utilization of working capital limits. The liquidity situation is under control and Company has implemented policies to control and reduce all discretionary fixed costs and all nonessential recruitment has been halted.

It is expected that prices of crude and other key raw material will stabilize in the coming year. In the coming year, we foresee a shift from mass mobility due to social distancing, which should help promote the sales of two-wheelers and helmets. We expect a slower recovery in the four-wheeler segment. Consumer spending on healthcare, packaged goods and household goods like washing machines, water/air purifiers are expected to increase post lockdown and our product portfolio is well positioned to cater to these applications.

Your Company is constantly monitoring all related risks and accordingly corrective measures and mitigating steps are planned out wherever necessary.

DIVIDEND

Keeping in view performance of the Company and losses for the year ended March 31, 2020 as also the impact of the social and economic slowdown owing to the Covid -19 pandemic, the Board has recommended that no dividend be distributed for the year ended March 31, 2020. The Board feels this is in the best interest of your Company and its shareholders in the given situation.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

INEOS is the leading, global styrenics supplier with a focus on styrene monomer, polystyrene, ABS Standard and styrenics specialties. With world-class production facilities INEOS helps its customers succeed by offering the best possible solution, designed to give them a competitive edge in the markets. INEOS Styrolution India Limited is an Indian company within INEOS Global Group.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

INEOS serves various industries focusing especially on automotive, home appliance, electrical and electronics, construction, and the healthcare industry. Changing economic and business conditions, evolving consumer preferences, rapid technological innovation and adoption and globalisation are creating an increasingly competitive market environment. In this environment, our customers are strongly focusing on cost-saving and innovative solutions. The Company is determined to support the success of its customers in their markets to give them a competitive edge. INEOS group strives to always provide its customers with the best solutions. It understands customer needs, makes products affordable and enhances the quality of life for a lot of people by making things more convenient, nicer and safer.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

The outbreak of COVID-19 will have a significant impact on the global economy, driving many countries into a recession. The Indian economy is expected to shrink by 4-5% in fiscal 2021 with a much higher contraction in the first quarter.

Our employees' health and safety is our number one priority and we have taken measures such as working from home wherever possible, sanitization of workplaces, availability of thermal scanners and masks etc. for their wellbeing. Your company has ensured the safe shutdown and start-up of our manufacturing units post the lockdown ensuring all proper safety, hygiene and social distancing measures. Our business continuity and crisis management plans have enabled us to manage this unprecedented situation. In addition, cost and capital expenditure measures have been put in place to drive productivity.

We continue to have close coordination with our key suppliers and customers to manage our product supply chain. The investment for increasing the capacity from 66KTA to 100KTA at Moxi plant in 2019, in tandem with the closure of end-oflife compounding assets at Nandesari, positions us well to meet customer demand and capture market growth. Our organizational focus on key industry segments ensures a deep understanding of their needs and will enable new product introductions for the specific industry. Your company utilizes its R&D capabilities to develop new products for the automotive, household and healthcare segments and maintains a strong intellectual property position.

In the coming year, we foresee a shift from mass mobility due to social distancing, which should help promote the sales of two-wheelers and helmets. We expect a slower recovery in the four-wheeler segment. Consumer spending on healthcare, packaged goods and household goods like washing machines, water/air purifiers are expected to increase post lockdown and our product portfolio is well positioned to cater to these applications.

We would expect crude, other key raw material prices and exchange rates to stabilize in the coming year. Further, risks are constantly monitored and corrective measures, mitigating steps are planned out wherever necessary. An active focused approach helps us in ensuring minimal impact to the Company, if any.

PRODUCTS

Your Company's product portfolio includes ABSOLAC, ABSOLAN, General Purpose Poly Styrene and High Impact Poly Styrene, which continue to have a preferred market status amongst user industries such as automotive, construction, healthcare, household and electronics. With the acquisition of K Resin by INEOS Styrolution in Korea, we will now be in a

28

position of promoting K-resin (SBC) in India. The successful launch of new products like K resin, Novodur® HH and Luran® S has strengthened the market leadership of your Company, especially in the automotive industry. Further, your Company continues to launch new products with innovative solutions creating more value for its customers.

The Company provides styrenic applications for many everyday products across a broad range of industries, apart from automotive, electronics, household, construction and healthcare and includes packaging and toys, sports & leisure. With best-in-class production technology, advanced R&D skills, Company is perfectly equipped to ensure the highest level of quality, efficiency and innovation.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The Indian economy is forecasted to contract by 4-5% this fiscal year due to the adverse effect of the coronavirus pandemic before growing back to 5% as per ADB (Asian development bank) report. The entire first quarter has been very heavily impacted due to the lockdowns with only the essential services being allowed to operate. The Government has announced a relief package to support the economy with both short and long term measures. We expect the short term measures to help with the liquidity in the market helping the MSME and vulnerable sections of the society. The government is expected to continue its focus on infrastructure development and attract foreign investment under the ”Ease of doing business” program. There is a push towards local manufacturing and being self reliant as a country. The growth of your company is closely linked to the growth of the Indian economy. With the easing of the lockdown we anticipate a recovery in demand for consumer appliances, consistent with a recovery in the economy in the 2nd half of this fiscal.

Your directors wish to state that risk management and control practices have been deployed across all the functions and functional evaluation of rating probability and impact is being constantly monitored under the guidance of the managing director.

*Amount could not be spent due to technical issues

56

Reasons for not spending the amount specified in above:

  • The amount required to be spent on CSR activities during the year ended March 31, 2020 in accordance with the provisions of Section 135 of the Act was INR 127.59 Lacs and your Company had spent an amount of INR 90.73 Lacs as per details provided above.

  • Your Company looks for appropriate and need worthy projects for allocation of the funds on a continuous basis. The Company had identified 2 such school building projects at Katol and Dahej for this year. However, both those projects were to be executed in collaboration with local panchayats/government authorities. The local authorities were expected to take more time for finalizing the project roadmap (including role, responsibilities of each participant, stages of the project etc.) and because of all these delays, amount that was allocated for such projects remained unspent.

  • Further, the Mobile Health Unit is an ongoing project, initiated by the Company since year 2018-2019 and is expected to continue for another couple of years. The Company had therefore planned to transfer an amount of INR 32.00 Lakhs (INR Thirty Two Lakhs only) towards this ongoing project to a special account, as was proposed in terms of provisions of Companies Act, 2013 and CSR rules framed thereunder. The Company had obtained all necessary approvals from the CSR Committee and Board of Directors for the same. However, since these provisions were not notified till March 31, 2020, the Company could not proceed further with opening of the special account and transferring the said amount and hence this amount remained unutilised.

  • Additionally, certain expenses were lesser than the amounts budgeted by the NGOs towards ongoing projects, resulting in lesser spend.

A combination of the above factors and issues resulted in the CSR spend being lesser by INR 36.86 lakhs for the year 2019-20.

Responsibility statement:

We hereby declare that the implementation and monitoring of the CSR policy is in compliance with CSR objectives and Policy of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Members of INEOS Styrolution India Limited

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

  1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of INEOS Styrolution India Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2020, and the statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

  2. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2020, and total comprehensive income (comprising of loss and other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for opinion

  1. We conducted our audit 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

  1. We draw your attention to note 47 of the financial statement, which describes the management's assessment of the impact of the outbreak of Coronavirus (Covid-19) on the business operations of the Company. The management believes that no adjustments are required in the financial statements as it does not impact the current financial year, however, in view of the various preventive measures taken (such as complete lock-down restrictions by the Government of India, travel restrictions etc.) and highly uncertain economic environment, a definitive assessment of the impact on the subsequent periods is highly dependent upon circumstances as they evolve. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters

  1. 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
During the period from January 2005 to December 2011,
the Company had paid Countervailing Duty and Special
Additional Duty through Duty Entitlement Pass-book
(DEPB) in respect of import of raw materials and had
availed CENVAT credit for the same.
The Principal Commissioner of Central Excise, Customs
and Service Tax department disallowed part of the credit
availed by the Company. The Company had fled an
appeal to the Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate
Tribunal (CESTAT) against the said disallowance and the
matter is currently pending at CESTAT.
The Management in consultation with tax expert engaged
by them, believes that the Company's contention has
strong merits and in its judgement, material outfow of
economic resources is unlikely. Accordingly, no provision
has been recognised in the books and the same has been
disclosed as a contingent liability in the fnancial
statements.
The above matter has been considered as key audit
matter due to involvement of signifcant management
judgment to assess the probability of any material outfow
of economic resources and whether a provision should be
recognised.
- Obtained details on the status of the litigation and
updates during the current year and the Management's
evaluation of the likely outcome.
- Assessed the objectivity and independence of the
external tax expert engaged by the management.
- Obtained independent confrmation from the
management's tax expert, to confrm facts and
circumstances of the matter and their assessment on the
probability of the case settling in favour of the Company.
- With the involvement of auditors' experts, assessed the
management expert's views on the case in light of the
relevant provisions of law and obtained their independent
assessment on the likely outcome.
- Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures made by the
Company in the fnancial statements.
Based on the above audit procedures performed, we did
not fnd any signifcant exceptions in the Management's
assessment of litigation.

Other Information

  1. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Director's report, Report on Corporate Governance and Management discussion and analysis report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

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 in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements

  1. The Company's Board of Directors is 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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes

94

maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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.

  1. 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. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

  1. 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

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

  3. 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.

  4. Obtain an understanding of internal control 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 with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  5. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

ANNEXURE A TO INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Referred to in paragraph 15 (f) of the Independent Auditors' Report of even date to the members of INEOS Styrolution India Limited on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020 Page 1 of 2

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act

  1. We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of INEOS Styrolution India Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2020 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

  1. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditors’ Responsibility

  1. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both issued by the ICAI. 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 with reference to financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

  2. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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.

  3. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements

  1. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements 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 controls with reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the

Referred to in paragraph 15 (f) of the Independent Auditors' Report of even date to the members of INEOS Styrolution India Limited on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020 Page 1 of 2

  1. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, 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 with reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

  1. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2020, 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. Also refer paragraph 4 of our main audit report.

INEOS Styrolution India Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended March 31, 2020

Background

INEOS Styrolution India Limited (the 'Company') is a public limited Company domiciled in India and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE). The Company is engaged in manufacture, trading and sale of "Engineering Thermoplastics". The Company has manufacturing facilities at Nandesari, Moxi, Katol and Dahej and Research and Development centre at Moxi in Gujarat.

Note 1: Significant accounting policies

This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

(i) Compliance with Ind AS:

The financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and other criteria as set out in the Schedule III to the Act.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those of the previous year. Also refer Note 1(a)(iii) below.

(ii) Historical cost convention:

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

  • certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) that are measured at fair value (refer note35);

  • assets held for sale - measured at lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell

  • defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value (refer note 40).

(iii) New and amended standards adopted by the Company

The Company has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 April, 2019:

  • Ind AS 116, Leases

  • Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments – Appendix C to Ind AS 12, Income Taxes

  • Amendment to Ind AS 23, Borrowing costs

  • Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement – Amendments to Ind AS 19, Employee Benefits

The Company had to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting Ind AS 116. This is disclosed in note 45. The other amendments listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.

110

(b) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. Refer note 42 for segment information presented.

(c) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements of the Company are presented in Indian rupee (INR), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the Statement of profit and loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of profit and loss on a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

(d) Revenue recognition

(i) Sale of goods

The Company is engaged in manufacturing, trading and sale of 'Engineering Thermoplastics'. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price agreed with the customer, net of the estimated discounts based on discount agreements. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term of 30-45 days, which is consistent with market practice.

Sale of goods does not involve warranty obligation or right to return.

A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended March 31, 2020

(ii) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(e) Income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax includes, Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it will be realised.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(f) Leases

Till 31 March 2019 :

As a lessee

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Company as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the Statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease unless the payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the lessor's expected inflationary cost increases.

112

With effect from April 1, 2019 :

As a lessee:

From April 1, 2019, leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the company. Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. As a general rule, the Company separates non-lease components, such as services, from lease payments except where it is not practical to determine non-lease components.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including in substances fixed payments), less any lease incentive receivable

  • variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date

  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the company exercising that option

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension option are also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that lessee would have to pay to borrow the fund necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar term, security and conditions.

The Company is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustment to lease payments based on index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. Finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodical rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Variable lease payments other than those based on index or rate are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the condition that triggers those payments occurs.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of initial measurement of lease liability,

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received,

  • any initial direct costs, and

  • restoration costs

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight line basis.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and all leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straightline basis in the Statement of profit and loss. Short term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low value asset comprise IT equipment and Office Equipment.

As a lessor:

The Company does not have any lease arrangements where the entity is a lessor.

for the year ended March 31, 2020

(g) Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for any indication of 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 costs 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 (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

(I) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for impairment.

(j) Inventories

Raw materials, packing materials, stores and spares, work in progress, traded and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials and traded goods comprises cost of purchases. Cost of work-in progress and finished goods comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Cost of inventories also include all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average cost basis. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(k) Investments and other financial assets

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

  • those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss and

  • those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income as the case may be. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through Statement of profit and loss.

114

(ii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value. Transaction costs of acquisition of financial assets carried at fair value through profit and loss are expensed in the Statement of profit and loss.

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

Equity instruments : The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value through Statement of Profit and Loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company's right to receive payments is established.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been an increase in credit risk (Refer note 36).

For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

  • The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

  • Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the group retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing

(v) Income recognition

Interest income

Interest income on financial assets at amortised cost is calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the statement of profit and loss as part of other income. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.

Dividends

Dividends are received from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as other income in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended March 31, 2020

(l) Derivatives

Derivatives are taken as the hedging instrument by the Company.

For derivatives taken against underlying asset/liability or that are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Company generally designates only the change in fair value of the forward contract related to the spot component and aligned forward element on reporting date.

Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in the spot component and aligned forward element of the forward contracts are recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

(m) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(n) Property, plant and equipment

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation methods and estimated useful lives:

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over useful lives of assets as follows:

Asset Category Estimated useful life
Lease hold land Lease Term
Building, including temporary structure (*) 3-60 Years
Road (*) 10 Years
Plant & Machinery (*) 3-40 Years
Furniture & Fixtures (*) 6-16 Years
Ofce Equipment (*) 3-7 Years
Vehicles (*) 8-10 Years

(*) Based on technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful life given above best represent the period over which management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets are different from the useful lives as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Useful life of Leasehold Improvements is considered based on lease term.

Depreciation and amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.

116

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the Statement of profit and loss.

(o) Non-Current Assets Classified as Held for sale

Non-current Assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the asset is recognised at the date of de-recognition.

Assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet.

(p) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid or not due for payment. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid as per the agreed payment terms. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the

(q) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. In case of foreign currency loan, any difference between the proceeds received and repayment amount is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss.

Borrowings are derecognised from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a long-term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liability as current, if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.

(r) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

117

INEOS Styrolution India Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended March 31, 2020

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(s) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. These are reviewed at each reporting period and reflect the best current estimate. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Contingent liabilities are 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 or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

(t) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits obligations:

All employee benefits payable within twelve months of service such as salaries, wages, bonus, ex-gratia, medical benefits etc. are classified as short-term employee benefits and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as an expense and are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the Balance sheet at the undiscounted amount on an accrual basis. Short-term leave encashment is provided at undiscounted amount during the accounting period based on service rendered by employees.

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense as and when incurred.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as contribution to Provident Fund, Super annuation fund, Employees' State Insurance Corporation, and Labours Welfare Fund are charged as an expense to the Statement of Profit and Loss based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the employees. The above benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company has no further defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Defined benefit plans

Gratuity: The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering eligible employees in accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's salary and the tenure of employment. The Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) by an independent actuary at the end of each year. Remeasurements 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 recognised in other comprehensive income.

Non-current compensated absences: The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market

118

yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Balance Sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(u) Contributed equity

Equity shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(v) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

(w) Earnings per share

Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to Equity Shareholders by the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the period. Earnings considered in ascertaining the EPS is the net profit for the period and any attributable tax thereto for the period (Refer Note 34).

(x) Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off in lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.

(y) Exceptional items

When items of income or expense are of such nature, size and incidence that their disclosure is necessary to explain the performance of the Company for the year, the Company makes a disclosure of the nature and amount of such items separately under the head "Exceptional items".

Critical estimates and judgments :

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the group's accounting policies.

This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with

Areas involving critical estimates and judgements are:

Estimated useful life of tangible assets - Refer Note 1 (n) and Note 2 (A) Estimated defined benefit obligation - Refer Note 1 (t) and Note 40 Allowance for doubtful debts - Refer Note 1 (k) (iii) and Note 36 (i) Leases - Refer Note 1 (f), 2(B) and Note 45

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended March 31, 2020

Note - 2 (B)

(iii) Extension and termination options in Lease Contracts

These options are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Company's operations. Extension and termination options are included in the lease term, only if the Company has the right to excercise these options and reasonably certain to excercise the right.

Critical judgements in determining the lease term

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that creates an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option. Extension option (or period after termination option) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).For the leases of office, warehouse, windmill land, vehicle, employee quarters, and equipment, etc., the following factors are normally the most relevant:,

  1. If there is significant penalty to terminate (or not extend), the Company is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).

  2. If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the Company is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate)

  3. Otherwise, the Company considers the other factors including historical lease duration and the costs and business disruption required to replace the leased asset.

Most extension options in leases have not been included in the lease liabilities, because the Company could replace the asset without significant cost or business disruption.

The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Company becomes obliged to exercise it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.

During the current financial year, the financial effect of revising lease terms to reflect the effect of exercising extension and termination option was an increase in recognized lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of INR 8,952.35 Lakhs.

B. Measurement of fair values

i) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities other than those valued at Level 1 and Level 2 are considered to be the same as their fair values due to the current and short term nature of such balances and no material differences in the values. Non-current security deposits are interest free deposits repayable on demand. Accordingly, the carrying value of the same has been considered as fair value. Difference between fair value of non-current borrowings carried at amortised cost and the carrying value is not considered to be material to the financial statement.

ii) Levels 1, 2 and 3

Level 1 : This includes listed equity instruments that have a quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. 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."

iii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.

  • ● the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts are determined using forward exchange rates at the Balance Sheet date. All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 1 and 2."

Note - 36 Financial risk management

Risk management framework

Financial Risk Evaluation and Management is an ongoing process within the Organisation. The Company has a robust risk management framework to identify, monitor and minimize risks. As a process, the risk associated with each area are identified and prioritized based on severity, likelihood and effectiveness.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • i) Credit risk ii) Liquidity risk iii) Market risk

This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the impact on

140

i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument 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 other financial instruments. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure, being the total of the carrying amount of balances with banks, short term deposits with banks, trade receivables and other financial assets excluding equity investments.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables of the Company are typically unsecured and derived from sales made to a large number of independent customers. Customer credit risk is managed by the Company based on established policies, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Before accepting any new customer, the Company has appropriate level of control procedures to assess the potential customer’s credit quality. The credit-worthiness of its customers are reviewed based on their financial position, past experience and other relevant factors. Outstanding customer receivables are reviewed periodically.

The Company uses Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model to assess the impairment loss. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors, the Company's historical experience for customers and forward looking information.

ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s cash flow management system ensures, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

Financial instruments – Fair values and risk management

iii) Market risk

Market risk is mainly driven by changes in economic and political environment across globe, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and interest rates movement, which affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables, payables and current borrowings. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in foreign currency revenues and costs.

1. Currency risk

The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of payables and receivables in foreign currency. Since there is no material export sales, this is not perceived to be a major risk. Raw materials are mostly imported. The company has a policy to mitigate this risk by taking derivative contracts to protect against any adverse exchange rate fluctuation. This policy is reviewed on a periodic basis.

Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

(a) Foreign currency risk exposure

The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in INR, are as follows:

2. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of variable interest bearing liabilities because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing liabilities will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Current borrowing comprise of working capital loans for an average tenure of 1 to 60 days, and buyers credit for an average tenure of 60 days.

The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

(a) Interest rate risk exposure

The exposure of the Company's borrowing to interest rate changes at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

Capital Management

The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maximise shareholder's value. The Company monitors capital using Debt-Equity ratio, which is total debt divided by total equity.

For the purposes of the Company’s capital management, the Company considers the following components of its balance sheet to be managed as capital:

Total equity as shown in the Balance Sheet includes Share capital, General reserve, Retained earnings, Securities premium and Capital reserve. Total debt includes current debt plus non-current debt (including current maturities of long term debt and lease liabilities).

The Company’s adjusted net debt to equity ratio at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 are as follows.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended March 31, 2020

The above matters are under adjudication and the Company expects the judgment will be in its favor and has therefore, not recognised the provision in relation to these claims. Future cash outflow in respect of above will be determined only on receipt of judgement/decision. The potential undiscounted amount of total payments that the Company could be required to make if there was an adverse decision related to above matters as of the date reporting period ends are as illustrated above.

*** DEPB Matter**

In respect of imports of raw materials during the period January 2005 to December 2011 for consumption at one of its plant, the Company paid CVD and SAD through DEPB and availed CENVAT credit of the same.

In respect of said imports, credit is available only if payments are made through DEPB scrips issued under Exim Policy 2004-09 and not for DEPB scrips issued under Exim Policy 2002-07.

The department had contended that the Company had made payments through DEPB scrips issued under Exim Policy 2002-07 and not for DEPB scrips issued under Exim Policy 2004-09, and issued SCNs.

The Company on its part has contended that the payment has been made through DEPB scrips issued under Exim Policy 2004-09 in respect of said imports. While the Company is not in a position to present the DEPB scrips, it maintains that the Bill of Entries have been finally assessed by Customs at the Port of Import and they indicated the applicable notification therein.

The Principal Commissioner of Central Excise, Customs and Service Tax adjudicated the matter and disallowed the credit, and imposed interest and penalties. In this respect, the Company had filed a petition in High Court for which the Company received an order in November 2017, whereby the cases was remitted back to the Principal Commissioner. The matter was heard afresh by the Principal Commissioner, and passed an order disallowing credit of INR 1,247.63 lakhs (being amount for which the Company could not present DEPB scrips and was not certain whether the scrips were issued under Exim Policy 2004-09 or not) from total contested amount of INR 7,990.97 lakhs in May 2018. Penalty amounting to INR 124.76 was imposed by the adjudicating authority. Against this the Company has made appeal to CESTAT. The department has filed an appeal against the order of the Principal Commissioner allowing credit of INR 6,743.35 lakhs (being amount for which Bill of Entries were available / SCN related to period of purchase of raw material after April 1, 2007) to the Company.

Management believes that their contention has strong merits and in its judgement, the outcome of the matter is probable. The Management has accordingly disclosed the amount as a contingent liability.

Impact of Judgement on Provident Fund

With reference to the Supreme Court Judgment in case of "Vivekananda Vidyamandir And Others Vs The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal" and the related circular (Circular No. C-I/1(33)2019/Vivekananda Vidya Mandir/284) dated March 20, 2019 issued by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation in relation to non-exclusion of certain allowances from the definition of "basic wages" of the relevant employees for the purposes of determining contribution to provident fund under the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, the aforesaid matter is not likely to have a significant impact as per the assessment by management and accordingly, no provision has been made in these Financial Statements.

Significant estimates: Actuarial assumptions and sensitivity

The significant actuarial assumptions were as follows:

The signifcant actuarial assumptions were as follows:
INR in Lakhs
Particulars As at March 31, 2020 As at March 31, 2019
a. Discount rate (per annum) 6.60% 7.35%
b. Estimated rate of return on Plan Assets (per annum) 6.60% 7.35%
c. Rate of escalation in salary (per annum) 8.00% 8.00%

The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation, take into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market.

The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined considering several applicable factors, mainly the composition of plan assets held, assessed risks and historical results of return on plan assets.

Sensitivity analysis

Reasonable possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below.

Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

i) Asset volatility

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. The plan assets are managed by LIC and are subject to market risk. Any shortfall is contributed to the fund by the Company. The Company intends to maintain the above investment in the continuing years.

INEOS Styrolution India Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended March 31, 2020

ii) Changes in bond yields

A decrease in bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans’ bond holdings.

The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans for the year ending March 31, 2020 are INR 175.85 Lakhs.(March 31, 2019: INR 137.44 Lakhs)

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 6.61 years (2018-19: 7.73 years). The expected maturity analysis of gratuity is as follows:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

for the year ended March 31, 2020

Lessee accounting

The Company has adopted Ind AS 116 using the modified retrospective approach from April 1, 2019. On adoption of Ind AS 116, the Company recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as 'operating leases' under the principles of Ind AS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of April 1, 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on April 1, 2019 was 10.41%.

For leases previously classified as finance leases the entity recognized the carrying amount of the lease asset immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right of use asset. There was no lease liabilities in respect of said finance lease as on April 1, 2019. The measurement principles of Ind AS 116 are only applied after that date.

The Company has elected to measure the right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments that existed at the date of transition.

(i) Practical Expedients applied on initial application date

In applying Ind AS 116 for the first time, the Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by the accounting standard:

  • the Company has utilized the exemptions provided for short-term leases (less than a year) and leases for low value assets

  • Initial direct costs are excluded from the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application

  • the Company has used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics

  • the Company separates non-lease components, such as services, from lease payments except where it is not practical to determine non- lease components

  • the Company has relied on its previous assessment on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing an impairment review

  • using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options.

Note - 45

(ii) Reconciliation of lease commitment to lease liability

The difference between the future minimum lease rental commitments towards non-cancellable operating leases and finance leases reported as at March 31, 2019 compared to the lease liability as accounted as at April 1, 2019 is primarily due to inclusion of present value of the lease payments for the cancellable term of the leases, reduction due to discounting of the lease liabilities as per the requirement of Ind AS 116 and exclusion of the commitments for the leases to which the Company has chosen to apply the practical expedient as per the accounting standard.

the Company has chosen to apply the practical expedient as per the accounting standard.

Note - 46 Exceptional Items

In respect of one of the leasehold lands, the Company has received provisional order from relevant authority, demanding to pay INR 1,940.11 Lakhs towards fees and non-utilization of land charges. Accordingly, the Company has created a liability for the said amount during the year ended March 31, 2020. In view of the said provisional order, the Company has reviewed its other similar leases for potential liability and accordingly, based on the assessment and best estimates of the management, a provision of INR 1,855.34 Lakhs has been made during the year ended March 31, 2020 in respect of transfer fees for those leases. The Management is in the process of evaluating various remedial measures that can be taken.

Note - 47

Events occurring after the reporting period

Consequent to the nationwide lockdown announced by the Government of India, the Company's plants and offices were shut down from March 23, 2020 onwards. Since the gradual easing of the lockdown from May'2020 onwards, and in line with the various directives of the Government, the Company's plants have commenced operations in a phased manner, in line with the market demand. The COVID-19 crisis has caused significant disturbance and slowdown of economic activity. The Company's Management has done an assessment of the situation, including the liquidity position and the recoverability and carrying value of all its assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2020, and concluded that there are no material adjustments required in the financial statements as of March 31, 2020. However, the impact assessment of COVID-19 is a continuing process given the uncertainty associated with its nature and duration. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company's financial statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor any material changes as the situation evolves.
