The Company operates in multiple countries across the globe – both in terms of its manufacturing operations and the markets for its products and all these countries had imposed lockdowns of varying types aimed at containing the spread of the virus. Given that Company's business is manufacturing of Flexible Packaging Films and Flexible Packaging, which is predominantly used in food and Pharma packaging, all out eff orts were being made by all countries to ensure the adequate supply of food and medicines to the public, which was made possible only due to seamless continued operations of packaging industry. While the Company did face initial administrative and supply chain challenges in some countries during initial lockdown period, but there was no impact on its overall production and sales volumes during the year.

MACROECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The world is now two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, and the end is nowhere in sight. The human, economic and social toll of the pandemic has been devastating. Rising poverty, job losses, shredded safety nets, health-care systems pushed to the brink, and the impacts of a changing climate are placing the Sustainable Development Goals further out of reach. Inequalities are intensifying, setting the stage for an uncertain, uneven and unfair recovery. In some countries, ambitious vaccination roll-outs and bold economic support and stimulus packages are paving the way towards recovery. More than a quarter of developing countries have yet to achieve their pre-pandemic levels of output, hampered by severely inadequate access to vaccines and limited fi nancial resources. Job creation has been insuffi cient to make up for earlier losses, with employment defi cits disproportionally aff ecting women and youth. Against this backdrop, the risk of new COVID-19 variants emerging and spreading threatens to derail any recovery prospects. At the same time, rapidly rising infl ation in many parts of the world will result in higher interest rates, limiting borrowing and constraining fi scal space at exactly the time countries should be investing in jobs, education, health care, and the green economy. This will, for developing countries already drowning in debt, result in defaults and prolonged economic distress. Further, the confl ict between Ukraine & Russia has come as a major blow to the global economy that will hurt growth further and raise prices. The confl ict arose at a worse time for the global economy, when the recovery from the pandemic-induced contraction had begun to falter, infl ation was surging, central banks in the world's largest economies were gearing up to hike interest rates, and fi nancial markets.

The war in Ukraine is resulting in tragic loss of life and human suff ering, as well as causing massive damage to Ukraine's physical infrastructure. War has resulted in more than 1 million refugees to neighboring countries. Unprecedented sanctions have been announced on Russia. While the situation remains highly fl uid and the outlook is subject to uncertainty, the economic consequences are already very serious. Energy and commodity prices—including wheat and other grains—have surged, adding to infl ationary pressures from supply chain disruptions and the rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic. Price shocks will have an impact worldwide, especially on poor households for whom food and fuel constitute large portion of household expenses. Should the confl ict escalate, the economic damage would be far devastating. The sanctions on Russia will also have a substantial impact on the global economy and fi nancial markets, with signifi cant spillovers to other countries.

However, the consequences of confl ict between Russia & Ukraine have already shaken not just those nations but also the other region and the world. While some eff ects may not fully come into focus for many years, there are already clear signs that the war and resulting jump in costs for essential commodities will make it harder for policymakers in some countries to strike the delicate balance between containing infl ation and supporting the economic recovery from the pandemic.

1. GLOBAL ECONOMY

Global economic recovery depends on a delicate balance amid new waves of COVID-19 infections, persistent labour market challenges, lingering supply-chain constraints and rising infl ationary pressures. After a global contraction of 3.4 per cent in 2020 and following an expansion of 5.5 per cent in 2021, the highest rate of growth in more than four decades, the world economy is projected to grow by 4 per cent in 2022 and 3.5 per cent in 2023. World gross product in 2021 was 1.9 per cent higher than in 2019 but still 3.3 per cent below the level of output projected prior to the pandemic. These aggregate growth fi gures, however, mask marked divergences in the pace of recovery across countries and regions. Global recovery in output in 2021 was largely driven by robust consumer spending and some uptake in investment. Trade in goods bounced back, surpassing the pre-pandemic level. But growth momentum slowed considerably by the end of 2021 including in big economies like China, the European Union and the United States of America, as the eff ects of fi scal and monetary stimuli dissipated and major supply-chain

CIN: L74899DL1988PLC032166

disruptions emerged. Growth impetus generally has been weaker in most developing countries and economies in transition. While higher commodity prices have helped commodity exporting countries at large, rising food and energy prices have triggered rapid infl ation, particularly in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Latin America and the Caribbean. Recovery has been especially slow in tourism-dependent economies, notably in the small island developing States. (Source: https://www.un.org/development/desa/dpad/wp-content/uploads/ sites/45/publication/WESP2022_web.pdf). However, Global economic prospects have worsened signifi cantly after confl icts between Ukraine and Russia. The war is a humanitarian disaster. Beyond this, the economic damage is already being felt worldwide and risks becoming increasingly severe and long-lasting. The war has thrown the growth recovery from the COVID 19 pandemic into doubt and has sewn catastrophe across the region, destroying lives, homes and infrastructure. The post-Covid-19 pandemic recovery is being hit by a potentially huge global supply shock that will reduce growth and push up infl ation. The war in Ukraine and economic sanctions on Russia have put global energy supplies at risk. Sanctions seem unlikely to be rescinded any time soon. Russia supplies around 10% of the world's energy, including 17% of its natural gas and 12% of its oil. The jump in oil and gas prices will add to industry costs and reduce consumers' real incomes. Outright shortages and energy rationing are possible in Europe if there is an abrupt halt to Russian supply. Fitch Ratings has cut its world GDP growth forecast for 2022 by 0.7pp to 3.5%, with the eurozone cut by 1.5pp to 3.0% and the US by 0.2pp to 3.5%. This refl ects the drag from higher energy prices and a faster pace of US interest rate hikes than anticipated. We have lowered our forecast for world growth in 2023 by 0.2pp to 2.8% (Source: https://www.fi tchratings.com/)..

Risks to the outlook, including supply chain disruptions, shortages of critical inputs, and labor shortages, are tilted to the downside and may lead to more uncertainty and volatility in the months ahead. Supply chain pressures have somewhat abated, but they are still acute with elevated freight rates. Shortages of crucial inputs such as semiconductors are expected to last into 2023 according to industry experts. Labor shortages have intensifi ed in particular in the UK and the US, and to a lesser extent in Europe with unemployment rates reaching historic lows in several countries. Geopolitical risks have also increased, in particular with regards to the Ukraine crisis. Finally, many central banks have already become increasingly contineous in response to high infl ation that proved to be more persistent than initially expected

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) vide its January 2022 World Economic Outlook (WEO), has projected the global growth to moderate from 5.9 in 2021 to 4.4 percent in 2022—half a percentage point lower for 2022 than in the October World Economic Outlook (WEO), largely refl ecting forecast markdowns in the two largest economies. However, the outlook has deteriorated, largely because of Russia's –Ukraine War—causing a tragic humanitarian crisis in Eastern Europe—and the sanctions imposed on Russia. This crisis unfolds while the global economy was on a mending path but had not yet fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, with a signifi cant divergence between the economic recoveries of advanced economies and emerging market and developing ones. In addition to the war, frequent and wider-ranging lockdowns in China—including in key manufacturing hubs—have also slowed activity there and could cause new bottlenecks in global supply chains. Higher, broader, and more persistent price pressures also led to a tightening of monetary policy in many countries. Overall risks to economic prospects have risen sharply and policy trade-off s have become more challenging. Beyond the immediate humanitarian impacts, the war will severely set back the global recovery, slowing growth and increasing infl ation even further. The April 2022 World Economic Outlook (WEO) Report of The International Monetary Fund (IMF), projects global growth at 3.6 percent in 2022 and 2023 and this is 0.8 and 0.2 percentage points lower than in the January forecast, respectively (https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/Issues/2022/04/19/world-economic-outlook-april-2022). The downgrade largely refl ects the war's direct impacts on Russia and Ukraine and global spillovers.

The global economy made the transition from recovery to expansion in 2021 amid ongoing turbulence from the COVID-19 pandemic. But, the Ukraine-Russia confl ict has also added to already high uncertainty about the global outlook. Although many countries appear to be moving past the acute phase of the pandemic, new variants could again lead to waves of infection and further disruption. Infl ation pressure could strengthen more than anticipated and demand more aggressive policy responses. Moreover, with continued tight policies toward the real estate sector and the possibility of more widespread lockdowns a part of the strict zero-COVID strategy, China's economy could slow more than currently projected—with consequences for Asia and beyond. This could further negatively impact the recovery, particularly in emerging market and developing economies. More fundamentally, geopolitical tensions threaten the rules-based frameworks that have governed international economic relations since World War II. Current sanctions imposed on Russia are already cutting fi nancial and trade linkages between Russia and other countries, with far-reaching repercussions. Increased global polarization also impedes the cooperation essential for

long-term prosperity. This could include derailing the urgent climate change agenda and undermining multilateral eff orts to improve debt resolution frameworks, trade integration, and initiatives to avoid future pandemics.

An uneven economic expansion generated supply/demand imbalances, lead to major supply chain disruptions and rising infl ation. In 2022, businesses will navigate multiple transitions in the global economy. These include the transition from pandemic to endemic COVID-19, the shift from fi scal policy stimulus to restraint, rising interest rates and tightening credit conditions, and a bumpy energy transition from hydrocarbons to renewables. Amid these transitions, global economic growth will perhaps slowdown in 2022, as some major economies approach or reach full employment. Geopolitical confl icts will continue to pose risks to the outlook (Source: https://ihsmarkit.com/).

2. INDIAN ECONOMY

For the second consecutive year, the Indian Economy has witnessed the eff ects caused by the covid-19 pandemic. These have been diffi cult times for the Indian Economy simultaneously with the global economy. It is not just about the immediate disruptions and uncertainty caused by repeated waves of the pandemic, but also the longerterm uncertainty about the post-Covid world due to accelerated shifts in technology, consumer behaviour, supplychains, geo-politics, climate change and a host of other factors. However, the Indian Economy has shown strong resilience to come out of the eff ects of the pandemic with high growth and is poised for a rebound after enduring a second wave of COVID-19 infections during the year under review. Advance estimates of the Economic Survey 2021-22 suggest that the Indian economy is expected to witness real GDP expansion of 9.2 per cent in 2021-22 after contracting in 2020-21. This implies that overall economic activity has recovered past the pre-pandemic levels. Almost all indicators show that the economic impact of the "second wave" in Q1 was much smaller than that experienced during the full lockdown phase in 2020-21 even though the health impact was more severe (Source: https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/). However, India's economy maintained the rebound momentum in the July– September quarter (Q2) of FY2021–22. GDP grew at 8.4% year over year (YoY) in Q2 FY2021–22. Growth was driven by strong exports, thanks to the global economic recovery, and domestic private investment as businesses ramped up production to meet festive demand. Investment has maintained a steady pace of growth in the past two quarters after declining for over a year, which indicates that the capital expenditure cycle has started to gain pace (Source: www2.deloitte.com).

Even as the Indian economy faces multi-dimensional challenges in the short term, it remains one of the most dynamic major economies in the world with huge potential. With structural drivers of growth fi rmly in place, the pace of economic growth is expected to pick up over time. The Indian economy is gaining momentum, driven by the recovery in industrial output, growth in core sectors, coupled with fairly focused government initiatives and policies. While the economy is reviving from the eff ects of the second wave and rapid vaccination drive, it is also witnessing a gradual momentum in some of the highly distressed sectors. After the second infection wave that peaked in May 2021, the recovery was gaining momentum and GDP was projected to grow at 9.4% in fi scal year (FY) 2021-22 before reverting to 8.1% in FY 2022-23 and 5½ per cent in FY 2023-24*(Source: https://www.oecd. org/economy/india-economic-snapshot/* ).

The acceleration of foreign direct investment infl ows into India over the past decade refl ects the strong long-term growth outlook for the Indian economy. India's nominal GDP measured in USD terms is expected to rise from USD 2.7 trillion in 2021 to USD 8.4 trillion by 2030. The long-term outlook for the Indian economy is supported by a number of key growth drivers. An important positive factor for India is its large and fast growing middle class, which is helping to drive consumer spending. India's consumption expenditure will double from USD 1.5 trillion in 2020 to USD 3.0 trillion by 2030, measured in constant prices. The rapidly growing Indian domestic consumer market as well as its large industrial sector have made India an increasingly important investment destination for a wide range of multinationals in many sectors, including manufacturing, infrastructure and services. The digital transformation of India that is currently underway is expected to accelerate the growth of ecommerce, changing the retail consumer market landscape over the next decade. This is attracting leading global multinationals in technology and ecommerce to the Indian market. By 2030, 1.1 billion Indians will have internet access, more than doubling from the estimated 500 million internet users in 2020. The rapid growth of e-commerce and the shift to 4G and 5G smartphone technology will boost home-grown unicorns like online e-commerce platform. The large increase in FDI infl ows to India that has been evident over the past fi ve years is also continuing with strong momentum in 2020 and 2021. This is boosted by large infl ows of investments from global technology MNCs, such as Google and Facebook that are attracted to India's large domestic consumer market. Overall, India is expected to continue to be one of the world's fastest growing economies over the next decade. This will make India one of the most important

long-term growth markets for multinationals in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing industries such as autos, electronics and chemicals, and services industries such as banking, insurance, asset management, health care and information technology. (Source: https://cdn.ihsmarkit.com/). However, International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its April 2022 World Economic Outlook (WEO) Report has projected India's GDP growth at 8.9% in 2021, 8.2% in 2022 and 6.9% in 2023 respectively.

3. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS

Packaging is often termed as an economical means of providing protection, convenience, containment and compliance to a product during its storage, transportation, display, and usage. Flexible packaging refers to a package made of fl exible and easily yielding materials that can be easily molded into diff erent shapes. Flexible packaging is one of the rapidly growing segments of the packaging industry, combining the highest qualities of fi lm, paper, and aluminum foil to provide a wide range of protective characteristics. These fl exible packages can acquire the shape of a pouch, liner, bag or overwrap and it can resonate with any type of packaging. Various applications of fl exible packaging in the food industry include packaging of ready-to-eat food items, boil-in-bag pouches, and foods that are often transferred from freezer-to-microwave. Packaging used for freezer-to-microwave type food is resistant to high temperature extremes and is a good moisture-resistant sealant as well. The non-food product applications of fl exible packaging include insulation, cosmetics, and healthcare. The market is growing rapidly with fl exible packaging ensuring food safety, enhanced value of food products, extended shelf-life, heating and moisture barrier, eff ective permeability, and ease of use. Consumers are also preferring this packaging type because of its commitment to convenience, aesthetic appeal and durability.

The Flexible Packaging Industry has been leading the way in packaging innovation since the early 1950s, and is at the forefront of important packaging trends in product protection, packaging design and performance, consumer convenience, and sustainability. However, the past two years have been active growth periods for the fl exible packaging industry. While the pandemic seems to have spurred the overall growth of hygienically packed products, the investments in large fi lm lines point to signifi cant long-term growth for fl exible packaging. The attributes of fl exible packages positively impact the environment, consumers and businesses. Further, it off ers numerous advantages over rigid packaging. It helps in extending the shelf life of various products, particularly food, and has a positive sustainability profi le. Flexible packaging also requires lower energy to produce and to transport, and generates lower quantities of greenhouse gases. Additionally, it also off ers convenience to consumers as it is lightweight, easy to open, carry, store, and reseal. All the major traditional benefi ts of rigid packaging can be realized from fl exible packaging with the added advantages of lower cost and greater fl exibility.

The market for fl exible packaging is currently exhibiting strong growth largely driven by a continuous growth in its end use sectors such as food, retail, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, etc. Catalyzed by rising levels of urbanization, changing dietary habits, large expatriate population and increasing penetration of organized retail formats such as hypermarkets and supermarkets, the processed and packaged food market is currently exhibiting strong growth. Moreover, driven by economic growth and rising personnel disposable incomes, the retail and consumer goods market is also experiencing strong growth. Additionally, the rising prevalence of various chronic and acute diseases coupled with increasing geriatric population is driving the demand of pharmaceuticals.

The global fl exible packaging market is segmented on the basis of material, packaging type, end-use industry, and region. On the basis of material, the market is segmented into paperboard, plastic, and aluminum foil. By packaging type, it is divided into stand-up pouch, fi lms, bag-in-box, and others. On the basis of end-use industry, it is segmented into food & beverages, personal care, pharmaceutical, household care, industrial, & others.

Key trends in the fl exible packaging industry

  • The packaging industry is one of the major consumers of single-use plastic. Thus, the pressure for pushing for less single-use plastic drives the fl exible packaging industry. Both packaging value chain players and customers aim to reduce plastic waste. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, plastic de-selection was implemented at several retailers across the world, especially in Europe.

  • The market growth of e-commerce since the Covid-19 outbreak is exponential. With the growth of e-commerce, the need for convenience has shaped new expectations in B2B and B2C industries. These e-commerce packages demand better impact and puncture resistance as they are handled by more people. Especially in the fresh meat packaging, a small leak could hamper the quality of e-grocery deliveries. Careless handling and poor packaging material could hamper the brand and create dissatisfaction among consumers. All these issues can be solved with the use of innovative materials in fl exible packaging.

  • The pressure to develop eco-friendly and sustainable packaging will continue to drive innovation in the fl exible packaging industry. Several companies have already collaborated to harness the power of eco-friendly and puncture-resistant materials that off er increased shelf life and sustainability to meet customer expectations regarding packaging.

  • The barrier properties of fl exible packaging are under innovation over the last few years. As these barriers off er better contamination protection while using fewer materials, their applications and investment in R&D have increased. On the other hand, adhesives are other aspects that became popular in fl exible packaging. From general-purpose sealing to dual oven-friendly lidding, adhesives off er improvements in containing liquid products and help brands meet customer demands.

  • In future, the fl exible packaging industry would be driven by convenience, functionality, and sustainability. The variations and new technological innovations in these trends gain traction and help customers to access fresh, untampered products.

Packaging industry is an enormous economic generator on a global scale and is one of the largest & highest growth sectors of the Indian economy. With the rising requirement for packaging across sectors, with traditional businesses preferring to package products, and the retail and e-commerce growing rapidly, the industry is growing at a robust pace.

The growth of the Packaging Industry in India is largely driven by various logistic applications, technological advancements and the development of the packaging sector across the country resulting in amongst the high growth industries in India and the country is becoming a preferred hub for packaging industry. Currently the 5th largest sector of India's economy, the industry has reported steady growth over past several years and shows high potential for much expansion, particularly in the export markets. Costs of processing and packaging food can be substantially lower than parts of Europe which, combined with India's resources of skilled labour, make it an attractive venue for investment. A high degree of potential exists for almost all user segments which are expanding appreciably - processed foods, hard and soft drinks, fruit and marine products. Further, in India, the fastest growing packaging segments are laminates and fl exible packaging.

Over the last few years, Packaging Industry has been an important sector driving technology and innovation growth in the country and adding value to the various manufacturing sectors including agriculture and FMCG segments. The growth in lifestyle and consumption patterns has increased the demand for the packaged products resulting in growth of packaging industry. Consumer awareness surrounding packaged food, specifi cally packaged food deliveries, has heightened. The boom in e-commerce and organized retail is expected to enhance the growth of plastic packaging and per capita consumption in the near future. The rising purchasing power, due to the growth in per-capita income of the Indian middle-class, is fueling the Indian packaging market in adopting better packaging methods, materials, and machinery, to ensure quality factors for Indian businesses. During pandemic consumers stocked up as governments announced quarantines and stay-at-home measures. This boosted fl exible packaging consumption – and thus BOPP fi lm demand in many markets, including Europe.

4. BUSINESS REVIEW

(i) Packaging Films Business

The main products of this business are BOPP fi lms, CPP fi lms, Polyester (BOPET) fi lms, Metalized, AlOx Coated, Specialty fi lms and Green fi lms such as AsclepiusTM PCR (Post-consumer Recycled) PET fi lms and Recyclable Mono-material fi lms.

The Company's OPP (Orientated Polypropylene) fi lms comprising of BOPP (Bi-axially Oriented Polypropylene) and CPP (Cast Polypropylene) fi lms are highly cost eff ective, functionally effi cient and therefore have rapidly penetrated into high barrier sensitive packaging segment across the world. These fi lms are primarily used for applications like packaging & conversion; industrial coatings; printing & lamination; encapsulation; overwraps (for CDs, cigarettes, cartons), confectionery packaging; anti-fog (for food products), textile bags; biscuit and sandwich overwrap amongst several others products. BOPP fi lms are known to off er better moisture barrier thus fi nding extensive use in manufacturing packaging material for snack food.

5. Sustainability- The Ultimate Destination of UFlex

Sustainability is a mega-trend infl uencing the packaging industry. The answer to any company trying to attain sustainable plastic packaging lies in what methodologies it adopts to have circular economy model. While using recyclable packaging defi nitely helps reduce a company's carbon footprint, it does not address the issue of plastic waste if that packaging post consumption does not reach the appropriate recycling streams.

As industry leaders in fl exible packaging value chain, UFlex is determined to act as a catalyst of change and is committed to conserve the environment while serving the brands and preserving the integrity of the packed contents. With its ESG embedded strategies, the company is hopeful of building medium-to-long-term value creation for its stakeholders. The change it aims is not just limited to only the point of consumption but covers the entire gamut, running across the lifecycle of packaging commodities. Through the global sustainability initiative 'Project Plastic Fix' that UFlex implements, it has been successfully deploying diff erent methodologies to keep plastic in the economy yet out of the environment. The company has been developing solutions that turn waste into wealth and defi nes a life for plastic beyond its original use. Towards this, it has been recycling post-consumer MLP(multi-layer packaging) mixed plastic waste into granules; upcycling recycled resins into upto 100% PCR(postconsumer recycled) content PET fi lms and also creating solutions that use lesser amount of virgin plastic at source. The new high-value line of products aimed at adoption of responsible packaging such as low on carbon footprint packaging fi lms (without sacrifi cing the quality of fi lm) and mono-PE based structure that support material simplifi cation for better recycling effi ciencies were added to the portfolio mix. Solutions such as the proposed enzyme-based biodegradable polymers for which UFlex is ready with an infrastructure for its manufacturing refl ects the company's increased focus and investments in R&D towards sustainable packaging.

UFlex has already been recycling MLP mixed plastic waste and discarded PET bottles at our existing Noida plant and in the fi scal FY2021-22, it increased the capacity of MLP recycling in India by 20% taking the existing recycling quantity to close to 30,000 tonnes of plastic waste per year. Milking the company's recycling abilities and technology, UFlex began upcycling PE-based structures to produce PCR-PE fi lms for non-food applications and started manufacturing PCR-PET fi lms and packaging at Noida plant. The company's target is to reach 1,00,000 tonnes of recycling quantity by FY2024-25 which its aims to achieve with the commissioning of new recycling lines in Mexico and Poland facility and building more such recycling capacities in other key manufacturing locations.

To share its expertise and practices in recovering and recycling post-consumer plastic waste with the world and also learn universally accepted practices from others, UFlex joined global non-profi t organization 'Alliance to End Plastic Waste' as a board member in September 2021. Besides collaborating on methodologies to reinstate the virtue of plastic in the world, this association is an attestation of the company's equally strong focus on plastic waste management as on its core business growth.

INFORMATION REGARDING CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUTGO REQUIRED UNDER THE COMPANIES ACCOUNTS RULE, 2014 AND FORMING PART OF DIRECTORS' REPORT

A. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

In today's world, energy is not only the future - it drives everything in the present. As a global society, we generate and use more energy than ever before, and the demand for energy is continually increasing. While we have been able to expand energy production to keep up with demand, there are physical, geographical, and economic limits to how much can be produced. What's more, greenhouse gas emissions that accompany many forms of energy generation (such as using fossil fuels for electricity) are accumulating in the atmosphere, bringing the potential for climate-related consequences. This is especially true for fossil fuels, including natural gas. One of the ways to deal with the constantly expanding need for energy and the issues it brings is to focus on energy conservation. Energy conservation is the need of the hour to stay in the competitive world and is the way of doing Business. It improves the overall Productivity and profi tability to compete in the Business. It helps to opens up the opportunities for innovation and improved effi ciency, while reducing risks arising from price volatility and helping us manage natural resources.

India is one of the fastest growing economies among countries in the world and has witnessed rapid increase in the energy consumption. The rise in energy consumption is mainly attributed to rapid economic growth, access to aff ordable energy, increased industrialization, building infrastructure and other end uses of energy. In recent years, India has emerged as the global leader in addressing global climate change and promotion of sustainable development. Energy effi ciency across all sectors of the economy is essential to enable decoupling of energy supply growth from economic growth, while ensuring that energy service demands are met.

Ufl ex have been focusing upon energy conservation as a part of Sustainability Drive. The Initiatives for Energy conservation may be in reducing Power and Fuel (KWH,HSD/PNG) consumption by maximizing the usage of Renewable Resources, optimizing the Manufacturing Processes, Improving the Production capacity of Equipment's, Upgrading Equipment's that uses lower Energy, etc. These Sustainability Initiatives not only helps to provide the competitive Edge to the competitors but also improves the Bottom line of the organization. Energy conservation is the need of the hour to stay in the competitive world and is the way of doing Business. It improves the overall Productivity and profi tability to compete in the Business. It helps to opens up the opportunities for innovation and improved effi ciency, while reducing risks arising from price volatility and helping us manage natural resources.

(a) Energy conservation measures taken

INITIATIVE TOWARDS ENERGY CONSERVATION BY UFLEX LIMITED DURING FINANCIAL YEAR 2021-22

The gap between electrical energy supply and demand is continuously increasing despite huge outlay for energy sector since independence. This gap between supply and demand of energy can be bridged with the help of energy conservation which is considered as a new source of energy and environmental friendly.

Currently, the primary energy sources in our country are fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas. However, fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that are created deep down within the Earth's surface over the course of millions of years. We're using them so fast that they will eventually become exhausted. What's more, fossil fuels negatively impact the environment. Coal is the number one pollutant in the world. Burning it leads to carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming. Plus, burning coal causes acid rain, smog, and soot. It even creates toxic air emissions, which is linked to congenital disabilities, cancer, and other severe health-related conditions. When you limit or conserve your energy usage, you lower your impact on the environment. The longer we go without making signifi cant changes, the greater the threat of global warming and climate change become to our daily lives. When we burn fossil fuels, they create an incredible amount of greenhouse gas emissions. These gasses, which include carbon dioxide, add up faster than the atmosphere can absorb them, which prevents Earth from being able to maintain a stable temperature.

Energy effi ciency has become the key driver for sustainable development in many economies across the world. The intense focus on combating climate change through reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and associated legislative demands is set to transform business practices and economies in the next few years. Strategic energy management practices and energy-effi cient business operations will be paramount in achieving these goals.

The energy conservation is cost eff ective with modest investment. There is a good scope of energy conservation in various sectors, viz domestic, industry, agriculture. The planners have already started appreciating the role and signifi cance of energy conservation in future energy scenario of India. The Company have taken several initiatives across production Blocks and utilities to boost its energy effi ciency in order to achieve its commitment

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

The Company's Management & Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report but does not include the Standalone & Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Management & Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the fi nancial position, fi nancial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash fl ows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specifi ed under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes 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 fi nancial controls, that were operating eff ectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone fi nancial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the Management & Board of Directors are 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 the Board of Directors 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 fi nancial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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 infl uence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is suffi cient 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 fi nancial 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 fi nancial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating eff ectiveness 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 signifi cant 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 StandaloneFinancial 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 Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and signifi cant audit fi ndings, including any signifi cant defi ciencies 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 signifi cance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements for the current year 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 benefi ts of such communication.

Other Matter

The Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2021, were audited by one of us, i.e. KAAP & Associates, when we/they were the sole statutory auditors of the Company and our report dated June 29, 2021 expressed an unmodifi ed opinion on those statements.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal fi nancial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing prescribed section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal fi nancial 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 fi nancial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated eff ectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal fi nancial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements and their operating eff ectiveness. Our audit of internal fi nancial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements included obtaining an understanding of internal fi nancial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating eff ectiveness 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 Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal fi nancial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements.

Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company's internal fi nancial control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly refl ect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Standalone 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 eff ect on the Standalone Financial Statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With reference to Standalone Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal fi nancial controls with reference to Standalone 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 fi nancial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal fi nancial control with reference to Standalone Financial Statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

I. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Initial Recognition:

The Company recognizes fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All fi nancial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value

on initial recognition, except for trade receivables/payables and where cost of generation of fair value exceeds benefi ts, which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs directly related to the acquisition or issue of the fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities (other than fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities through statement of profi t & loss) are added to or deducted from the cost of fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities. Transaction cost directly attributed to the acquisition of fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities at fair value through statement of profi t & loss are recognized immediately in the statement of profi t & loss.

Subsequent Recognition:

Non-derivative fi nancial instruments

  • (i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost: A fi nancial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash fl ows and the contractual terms of the fi nancial asset give rise on specifi ed dates to cash fl ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
  • (ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: A fi nancial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash fl ows and selling fi nancial assets and the contractual terms of the fi nancial asset give rise on specifi ed dates to cash fl ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classifi ed as equity instruments (all being not held for trading), to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.

Fair value of the listed equity instruments are measured using the rate quoted in the stock exchange wherein the securities are actively traded as on the last working day of the period of reporting. In respect of unlisted equity instruments, fair value is determined based on the latest audited fi nancial statements and considering the open market information available, failing which it shall be measured at cost.

  • (iii) Financial assets at fair value through profi t or loss: A fi nancial asset which is not classifi ed in any of the above categories (including investment in units of mutual funds) is subsequently fair valued through profi t or loss.
  • (iv) Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the eff ective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profi t and loss. 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.
  • (v) Investment in Subsidiaries/Joint ventures / Associates: Investment in subsidiaries / Joint Ventures / Associates are carried at cost less impairment, if any, in the separate fi nancial statements. Any gain or losses on disposal of these investments are recognized in the statement of profi t & loss.
  • (vi) Derivative fi nancial instruments; The Group holds derivative fi nancial instruments to hedge its interest rate risk exposures. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised through profi t or loss.

J. TRADE RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables represents amount billed to customers as credit sales and are net off ; a) any amount billed but for which revenues are reversed under the relevant Indian accounting standard and b) impairment for trade receivables, which is estimated for amounts not expected to be collected in full.

K. LOANS AND ADVANCES

Loans and advances are non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed and determinable payments. This category includes the loans, other fi nancial assets and other current assets.

Subsequent to initial measurement, loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost based on

NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

eff ective interest rate method less appropriate allowance for doubtful receivables, if any.

Loans and advances are further classifi ed as current and non-current depending whether they will realize within 12 months from the balance sheet date or beyond.

L. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction cost.

Subsequent to initial measurement, fi nancial liabilities viz borrowings are measured at amortized cost. The diff erence in the initial carrying amount of the fi nancial liabilities and their redemption value is recognized in the statement of profi t & loss over the contractual term using the eff ective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are further classifi ed as current and non-current depending whether they are payable within 12 months from the balance sheet date or beyond.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the company is discharged from its obligation; they expire, are cancelled or replaced by a new liability with substantial modifi ed terms.

M. EARNING PER SHARE

Basic Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing the net profi t attributable to the equity shareholders of the company to the weighted average number of Shares outstanding during the period & Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profi t attributable to the equity shareholders of the company after adjusting the eff ect of all dilutive potential equity shares that were outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period includes the weighted average number of equity shares that could have issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential.

N. TAXATION

Current Tax

Current tax is expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the tax rate enacted at the reporting date.

Current tax assets and liabilities are off set where the company has legal enforceable right to off set and intends either to settle on net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Deferred tax is recognized for all taxable temporary diff erences and is calculated based on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for fi nancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi ts will be available against which the assets can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefi t will be realized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are off set when there is a legally enforceable right to off set.

Current and Deferred Tax for the Year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in the statement of profi t & loss, except when they relates to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current tax and deferred tax is recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity as the case may be.

  • a. In respect Defi ned Contribution Plans, contribution made to the specifi ed fund based on the services rendered by the employees are charged to Statement of Profi t & Loss in the year in which services are rendered by the employee.
  • b. Liability in respect of Defi ned Long Term benefi t plan is determined at the present value of the amounts payable determined using actuarial valuation techniques performed by an independent actuarial at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit methods. Re-measurement, comprising actuarial gain and losses, the eff ects of assets ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), are refl ected immediately in the statement of Financial Position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Past Service cost is recognized in the statement of profi t & loss in the period of plan amendment.
  • c. Liabilities for accumulating paid absences is determined at the present value of the amounts payable determined using the actuarial valuation techniques performed by an independent actuarial at each balance sheet date using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gain or losses in respect of accumulating paid absences are charged to statement of profi t & loss account.
  • d. Liabilities for short term employee benefi ts are measured at undiscounted amount of the benefi ts expected to be paid and charged to Statement of Profi t & Loss in the year in which the related service is rendered.

P. IMPAIRMENT

Financial assets

The company recognizes the impairment on fi nancial assets based on the expected credit loss model for the fi nancial assets which are not fair value through statement of profi t and loss. Loss allowance on trade receivables, with no signifi cant fi nancing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. The amount of expected credit losses or reversal that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profi t and loss for the period.

Intangible assets, investment property and property, plant and equipment

Intangible assets, investment property and property plant & equipment are evaluated for recoverability wherever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash fl ows are grouped together into cash generating units (CGUs).

For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash fl ows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profi t and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profi t & loss if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceeds the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss has been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Q. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

A provision is recognized, if as a result of past event the company has present legal or constructive obligations that is reasonably estimable and it is probable that an outfl ow of economic benefi ts will be required to settle the obligation.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed for possible obligations arising out of uncertain events not wholly in control of the company.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the fi nancial statements. However due disclosures are made

CIN: L74899DL1988PLC032166

NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

in the fi nancial statements for the contingent assets, where economic benefi ts is probable and amount can be estimated reliably.

R. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Functional Currency

The Company functional currency is Indian Rupees. The fi nancial statement of the company is presented in Indian rupees rounded off to nearest lacs.

Transaction and Translations

Transactions in currency other than Indian Rupees are recorded at the rate, as declared by the custom authority / inter-bank rates, ruling on the date of transaction.

Unsettled Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, as at the balance sheet date, are translated using the exchange rates as at the balance sheet date. The gain or loss resulting from the translation is recognized in the statement of profi t & loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured carried at fair value are translated at the date when the fair value is determined.

Transaction gain or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transaction are included in determining the net profi t for the period in which transaction is settled.

Exchanges diff erence arises on settlement / translation of foreign currency monetary items relating to acquisition of property, plant & equipment till the period they are put to use for commercial production, are capitalized to the cost of assets acquired and provided for over the useful life of the property, plant & equipment.

S. LEASES

The Company as a Lessee

The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, rental properties, equipment and vehicles. The Company assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identifi ed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identifi ed asset, the Company assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identifi ed asset (ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefi ts from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low-value leases, the Company recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash fl ows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable, using the incremental borrowing rates of the Company. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Company changes its assessment of

NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classifi ed as fi nancing cash fl ows.

For Short Term Leases and leases for which underlying asset is of low value, Lease payments are recognize as an expenses on a straight line basis over a lease term.

The Company as a lessor

Leases for which the Company is a lessor is classifi ed as a fi nance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classifi ed as a fi nance lease. All other leases are classifi ed as operating leases.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease

T. BORROWING COST

Borrowings cost are interest and other costs (including exchange diff erences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying /eligible assets, intended for commercial production are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.

U. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Operating segments are defi ned as components of the Company: (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Company),(b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company's designated individual chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and (c) for which discrete fi nancial information is available.

Management has chosen to organise the Company, around diff erences in business activities/ customer base/ products belonging to diff erent industry, having diff erent economic characteristics and not on the basis of geographical areas, looking to the practical impediments.

Accordingly the Company has identifi ed following reportable segments, viz. Flexible packaging activities, Engineering activities and others (Unallocable). All directly attributable revenue and expenses and expenses which can be allocated to segments, are reported under each reportable segment. All other expenses which are not attributable or allocable to segments, are shown under Other (Unallocable). Company has identifi ed assets and liabilities to each reportable segment.

V. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDRADS (IND AS)

Ministry of Corporate Aff airs ("MCA") notifi es new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.

On March 23, 2022, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022, as below.

Ind AS 16 – Property Plant and equipment - The amendment clarifi es that excess of net sale proceeds of items produced over the cost of testing, if any, shall not be recognized in the profi t or loss but deducted from the directly attributable costs considered as part of cost of an item of property, plant, and equipment. The eff ective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2022. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact is not expected to be material.

Ind AS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets – The amendment specifi es that the 'cost of fulfi lling' a contract comprises the 'costs that relate directly to the contract'. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfi lling that contract (examples would be direct labor, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfi lling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfi lling the contract). The eff ective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2022, although early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact is not expected to be material.

Assumptions
Interest rate 6.8% P.A. 6.8% P.A.
Estimated rate of return on plan assets 6.8% P.A. 6.8% P.A.

The expected benefi ts increases are based on the same assumptions as are used to measure the Company's defi ned benefi t plan obligations as at 31st March 2022. The Company is expected to contribute Rs.1132.66 lacs to defi ned benefi ts plan obligations fund for the year ending 31st March 2023.

The signifi cant accounting assumptions are the discount rate and expected salary increases. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period while other assumptions are constant.

If the discount rate increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defi ned benefi t plan obligations would decrease by Rs.251.13 Lacs (increase by Rs.269.33 Lacs) as at 31st March 2022.

If the expected salary growth increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defi ned benefi t plan obligations would increase by Rs.266.63 Lacs (decrease by Rs.250.04 Lacs) as at 31st March 2022.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defi ned benefi t obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Further in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defi ned benefi t obligations has been calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defi ned benefi t obligation liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.

The Company operates in multiple countries across the globe – both in terms of its manufacturing operations and the markets for its products and all these countries had imposed lockdowns of varying types aimed at containing the spread of the virus. Given that Company's business is manufacturing of Flexible Packaging Films and Flexible Packaging, which is predominantly used in food and Pharma packaging, all out eff orts were being made by all countries to ensure the adequate supply of food and medicines to the public, which was made possible only due to seamless continued operations of packaging industry. While the Company did face initial administrative and supply chain challenges in some countries during initial lockdown period, but there was no impact on its overall production and sales volumes during the year. While the Company believes that its business will continue to remain unscathed by the pandemic; however there could be uncertainties in the future due to underlying developments w.r.t COVID 19, which are diffi cult to predict.

54: FINANCIAL RISKS MANAGEMENT

In the course of business, amongst others, the Company is exposed to several fi nancial risks such as Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Exchange Risk and Commodity Price Risk. These risks may be caused by the internal and external factors resulting into impairment of the assets of the Company causing adverse infl uence on the achievement of Company's strategies, operational and fi nancial objectives, earning capacity and fi nancial position.

The Company has formulated an appropriate policy and established a risk management framework which encompass the following process.

  • identify the major fi nancial risks which may cause fi nancial losses to the company
  • assess the probability of occurrence and severity of fi nancial losses
  • mitigate and control them by formulation of appropriate policies, strategies, structures, systems and procedures
  • Monitor and review periodically the adherence, adequacy and effi cacy of the fi nancial risk management system.

The Company enterprise risk management system is monitored and reviewed at all levels of management, Audit Committee and the Board of Directors from time to time.

Credit Risk

Credit Risk refers to the risks that arise on default by the counterparty on its contractual obligation resulting into fi nancial loss to the company. The Company may carry this Risk on Trade and other receivables, liquid assets and some of the non current fi nancial assets.

In case of Trade receivables, the Company has framed appropriate policy for extending credits period & limit to each customer based on their profi le, fi nancial position and their external rating etc. The collections of trade dues are strictly monitored . In case of Export customers, even credit guarantee insurance is also obtained wherever required.

Company's exposure to Credit Risk is also infl uenced by the concentration of risk from top fi ve customers. The details in respect of the % of sales generated from the top customer and top fi ve customers are given hereunder.

Particulars Current Year Previous Year
Revenue from Top Customer 12% 14%
Revenue from Top Five Customers 22% 25%

The credit risk on cash & cash equivalent, investment in fi xed deposits, liquid funds and deposits are insignifi cant as counterparties are banks or mutual funds with high credit ratings assigned by the rating agencies of international repute.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity Risk arises when the Company is unable to meet its short term fi nancial obligations as and when they fall due.

NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

The Company maintains adequate liquidity in the system so as to meet its all fi nancial liabilities timely. In addition to this, the Company's overall fi nancial position is strong so as to meet any eventuality of liquidity tightness. Contractual maturities of fi nancial liabilities are given as under:

(Rs. in Lacs)

Other Financial Liabilities 10722.75 8675.46 2047.29

Interest Rate Risk

Generally market linked fi nancial instruments are subject to interest rate risk. The Company does not have any market linked fi nancial instruments both on the asset side as well liability side. Hence there is no interest rate risk linked to market rates.

However the interest rate in respect major portion of borrowings by the Company from the banks and others are linked with the Benchmark / Base Prime lending rate of the respective lender and in case of foreign currency borrowings, the same is linked with the LIBOR. Any fl uctuation in the same either on higher side or lower side will result into fi nancial loss or gain to the company.

The amount which is subjected to the change in the interest rate is of Rs. 152611.15 lacs out of the total debt of Rs. 170747.61 Lacs.

Based on the Structure of the debt as at year end, one percentage point increase in the interest rate would cause an additional expense in the net fi nancing cost of Rs. 1526.11 Lacs.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the foreign currency risk from transactions & translation. Transactional exposures are arising from the transactions entered into foreign currency. Management keeps a close watch of the maturity of the fi nancial assets in foreign currency and payment obligations of the fi nancial liabilities.

The carrying amount of the Company's material foreign currency dominated monetary Assets and Liabilities at the end of the reporting period is as below:

5% appreciation (Rs.in lacs) (910.97) 337.62
5% depreciation (Rs.in lacs) 910.97 (337.62)

Commodity Price Risk

The main raw materials which the Company procures are global commodities and their prices are to a great extent linked to the movement of crude prices directly or indirectly.

The pricing policy of the Company fi nal product is structured in such a way that any change in price of raw materials is passed on to the customers in the fi nal product however, with a time lag which mitigates the raw material price risk.

With regard to the fi nished products, the Company has been operating in a global competitive environment which continues to keep downward pressure on the prices and the volumes of the products.

In order to combat this situation, the Company formulated manifold plans and strategies to develop new customers & focus on new innovative products. In addition, it has also been focusing on improvement in product quality and productivity. With these measures, Company counters the competition and consequently commodity price risk.

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

The Holding Company's Management and its Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information, comprises the information, included in the Holding Company's annual report but does not include the Standalone and Consolidated Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements

The Holding Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in term of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated fi nancial position, consolidated fi nancial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and consolidated cash fl ows of the Group, including its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specifi ed under section 133 of the Act. The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group, its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal fi nancial controls, that were operating eff ectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and of its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group, Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities are responsible for overseeing the fi nancial reporting process of the Group and of its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated 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 Standards on Auditing ("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 infl uence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is suffi cient 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 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 Holding Company, its Subsidiary and an Associate, which are Companies incorporated in India, have internal fi nancial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements in place and the operating eff ectiveness 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 signifi cant doubt on the ability of the Group and its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities 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 Consolidated 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 Group and its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain suffi cient appropriate audit evidence regarding the fi nancial information of the entities or business activities within the Group and its Associate and Jointly Controlled Entities to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the fi nancial statements of such entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and signifi cant audit fi ndings, including any signifi cant defi ciencies 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 signifi cance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the current year 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 benefi ts of such communication.

[Referred to in paragraph 1 (f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' in the Independent Auditors' Report of even date to the Members of Ufl ex Limited on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2022]

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

Opinion

In conjunction with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Ufl ex Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Holding Company") as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022, we have audited the internal fi nancial controls with reference to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Holding Company and its Subsidiary and its Associate, which are companies incorporated in India, as of that date.

In our opinion, and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us & based on the considerations of reports issued by other auditors, as referred to in "Other Matter" Paragraph below, the Holding Company, its Subsidiary and its Associate, which are companies incorporated in India, have, in all material respects, an adequate internal fi nancial controls with reference to the Consolidated Financial Statements and such internal fi nancial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements were operating eff ectively as at March 31, 2022, based on the internal control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements criteria established by the respective companies 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" ("the ICAI") ("the Guidance Note").

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Management and Board of Directors of the Holding Company, its Subsidiary and its associate, which are companies incorporated in India, are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal fi nancial controls based on the internal control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements criteria established by the respective companies considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal fi nancial controls that were operating eff ectively for ensuring the orderly and effi cient conduct of their respective businesses, including adherence to the respective Company's policies, the safeguarding of their respective assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable fi nancial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal fi nancial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Holding Company, its Subsidiary and its Associate, which are companies incorporated in India, based on our audit. We cond ucted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal fi nancial 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 fi nancial controls with reference to the Consolidated Financial Statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated eff ectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal fi nancial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements and their operating eff ectiveness. Our audit of internal fi nancial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements included obtaining an understanding of internal fi nancial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating eff ectiveness 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 Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error's.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors in terms of respective reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal fi nancial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Holding Company, its Subsidiary and its Associate, which are companies incorporated in India.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

A Company's internal fi nancial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of fi nancial reporting and the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Company's internal fi nancial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly refl ect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Consolidated 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 eff ect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal fi nancial controls with reference to Consolidated 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 fi nancial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal fi nancial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Other Matter

Our aforesaid reports under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating eff ectiveness of the internal fi nancial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements insofar as it relates to a Subsidiary and an Associate, which are companies incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding reports of one of us (viz. KAAP & Associates in respect of such Subsidiary) and of the auditors of such Associate Company.

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. BASIS OF PREPERATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fi nancial statements of the group have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notifi ed under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 as amended from time to time by the Ministry of Corporate Aff airs (MCA), the provisions of Companies Act, 2013, and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued Indian Accounting Standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing Indian Accounting Standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. Financial statements of the group are prepared under the historical cost convention except for the certain fi nancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as mentioned in applicable accounting policies.

The fi nancial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR). Amount has been rounded off to nearest lacs.

B. BASIS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated fi nancial statements comprise those of UFLEX Limited and its affi liated companies (the Group).

Companies which the group controls are fully consolidated from the date at which the Group obtains the control over the entity. The Group controls the entity when it is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the company and has ability to aff ect those returns through its power over the company. The Group holds either full or majority of voting rights in the companies which are controlled.

The fi nancial statements of the Group Companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, subject to regrouping & netting of certain items, which present the consolidation in a fair manner without aff ecting the materiality, after eliminating the intra-group transactions and also unrealized profi t or losses resulting from intra-group transactions included in the carrying amount of assets. The group fi nancial statements are prepared by adopting uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as that of holding company's fi nancial statements. Non-controlling interest which represent part of the net profi t or loss and net assets of the subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the Group, are excluded. The excess / short amount of investment of the Group over its share in the net assets of the respective affi liates is recognized as Goodwill or Capital Reserve in the fi nancial statement.

Associates are entities over which the Group has signifi cant infl uence, but not control. Investments in the associate companies have been accounted under the Equity Method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or reduced by the amount of share in profi t & loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Groups investment in associates includes goodwill identifi ed on acquisition.

Joint Ventures are entities over which the Group has joint control. Investments in the joint venture have been accounted under the Equity Method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or reduced by the amount of share in profi t & loss of the investee after the date of acquisition.

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Where not all of the equity of a Acquiree is acquired the non-controlling interests are recognized at the non-controlling interest share in net identifi able assets of the Acquiree. Upon obtaining control in a business combination achieved in stages, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest at fair value and recognizes a gain or a loss to the other comprehensive income.

All the fi gures of assets, liabilities, revenue & expenses of subsidiaries, which are stated in foreign currency in its separate fi nancial statements, are converted into Indian Rupees in accordance with the Ind AS 21 on "The Eff ects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates".

C. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the fi nancial statements is in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. These estimates, judgments and assumptions aff ect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the fi nancial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Accounting estimates could change from period to period. Actual results could diff er from those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on going concern basis.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision aff ects only that period, in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision aff ects both current and future.

E. REVENUES

Revenues from sale of goods and processing

Revenue from the sale of goods and processing of material (Job Work ) in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts, rate diff erences and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized at point of time, which represents transfer of control to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing eff ective control over the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

In case where the services are performed by an indeterminate number of acts over a specifi ed period of time, revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the specifi ed period. After the initial recognition, in respect of uncollectible amount, provisions are made in the period in which amount is identifi ed as uncollectible.

All fi nancial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on initial recognition, except for trade receivables/payables and where cost of generation of fair value exceeds benefi ts, which are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction costs directly related to the acquisition or issue of the fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities (other than fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities through statement of profi t & loss) are added to or deducted from the cost of fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities. Transaction cost directly attributed to the acquisition of fi nancial assets or fi nancial liabilities at fair value through statement of profi t & loss are recognized immediately in the statement of profi t & loss.

Subsequent Recognition:

Non-derivative fi nancial instruments

  • (i) Financial assets carried at amortized cost: A fi nancial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash fl ows and the contractual terms of the fi nancial asset give rise on specifi ed dates to cash fl ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
  • (ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income: A fi nancial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash fl ows and selling fi nancial assets and the contractual terms of the fi nancial asset give rise on specifi ed dates to cash fl ows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Group has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classifi ed as equity instruments (all being not held for trading), to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.

Fair value of the listed equity instruments are measured using the rate quoted in the stock exchange wherein the securities are actively traded as on the last working day of the period of reporting. In respect of unlisted equity instruments, fair value is determined based on the latest audited fi nancial statements and considering the open market information available, failing which it shall be measured at cost.

  • (iii) Financial assets at fair value through profi t or loss: A fi nancial asset which is not classifi ed in any of the above categories (including investment in units of mutual funds) is subsequently measured at fair value through profi t or loss.
  • (iv) Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the eff ective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognized in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through profi t and loss. 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.
  • iv) Derivative fi nancial instruments
  • (vi) Derivative fi nancial instruments; The Group holds derivative fi nancial instruments to hedge its interest rate risk exposures. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value.

Subsequent to initial measurement, loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost based on eff ective interest rate method less appropriate allowance for doubtful receivables, if any.

Loans and advances are further classifi ed as current and non-current depending whether they will realize within 12 months from the balance sheet date or beyond.

M. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction cost.

Subsequent to initial measurement, fi nancial liabilities viz borrowings are measured at amortised cost. The diff erence in the initial carrying amount of the fi nancial liabilities and their redemption value is recongised in the statement of profi t & loss over the contractual term using the eff ective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are further classifi ed as current and non-current depending whether they are payable within 12 months from the balance sheet date or beyond.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the Group is discharged from its obligation; they expire, are cancelled or replaced by a new liability with substantial modifi ed terms.

N. EARNING PER SHARE

Basic Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing the net profi t attributable to the Equity Share Holders of the Group to the weighted average number of Shares outstanding during the period & Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profi t attributable to the Equity Share Holders of the Group after adjusting the eff ect of all dilutive potential equity shares that were outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period includes the weighted average number of equity shares that could have issued upon conversion of all dilutive potential.

O. TAXATION

Current Tax

Current tax is expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using the tax rate enacted at the reporting date.

Current tax assets and liabilities are off set where the Group has legal enforceable right to off set and intends either to settle on net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Deferred tax is recognized for all taxable temporary diff erences and is calculated based on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for fi nancial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profi ts will be available against which the assets can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefi t will be realised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are off set when there is a legally enforceable right to off set and when the deferred tax balances relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on diff erent tax entities, but the Group intends to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

Deferred tax is not recognized for temporary diff erences relating to:

  • initial recognition of goodwill;
  • initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that aff ects neither accounting nor taxable profi t; and
  • Investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary diff erence and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current and Deferred Tax for the Year

Grants received as part of investment in the specifi c fi xed asset is reduced from the Cost of that asset at the time of receipt of the Grant.

Revenue Grants are recognized in the statement of Profi t & Loss.

R. IMPAIRMENT

Financial assets

The Group recognizes the impairment on fi nancial assets based on the expected credit loss model for the fi nancial assets which are not fair value through statement of profi t and loss. Loss allowance on trade receivables, with no signifi cant fi nancing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. The amount of expected credit losses or reversal that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profi t and loss for the period.

Intangible assets, investment property and property, plant and equipment

Intangible assets, investment property and property plant & equipment are evaluated for recoverability wherever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

For impairment testing, assets that do not generate independent cash fl ows are grouped together into cash generating units (CGUs).

For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash fl ows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in the statement of profi t and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profi t & loss if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceeds the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss has been recognized for the asset in prior years.

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

S. PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

Contingent liabilities are disclosed for possible obligations arising out of uncertain events not wholly in control of the Group.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the fi nancial statements. However due disclosures are made in the fi nancial statements for the contingent assets, where economic benefi ts is probable and amount can be estimated reliably.

T. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

The gain or loss resulting from the translation is recognized in the statement of profi t & loss. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured carried at fair value are translated at the date when the fair value is determined.

Transaction gain or losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency transaction are included in determining the net profi t for the period in which transaction is settled.

Exchanges diff erence arises on settlement / translation of foreign currency monetary items relating to acquisition of property, plant & equipment till the period they are put to use for commercial production, are capitalized to the cost of assets acquired and provided for over the useful life of the property, plant & equipment.

U. LEASES

The Group as a lessee

The Group's lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for land, rental properties, equipment's and vehicles. The Group assesses whether a contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identifi ed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identifi ed asset, the Group assesses whether: (i) the contract involves the use of an identifi ed asset (ii) the Group has substantially all of the economic benefi ts from use of the asset through the period of the lease and (iii) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.

At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low-value leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease arrangements includes the options to extend or terminate the lease before the end of the lease term. ROU assets and lease liabilities includes these options when it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. The ROU assets are initially recognized at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. ROU assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straightline basis over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash fl ows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.

The lease liability is initially measured at amortized cost at the present value of the future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if not readily determinable,

using the incremental borrowing rates of the Group. Lease liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related ROU asset if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option. Lease liability and ROU assets have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been classifi ed as fi nancing cash fl ows.

For Short Term Leases and leases for which underlying asset is of low value, Lease payments are recognize as an expenses on a straight line basis over a lease term.

The Group as a lessor

Leases for which the Group is a lessor is classifi ed as a fi nance or operating lease. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee, the contract is classifi ed as a fi nance lease. All other leases are classifi ed as operating leases.

For operating leases, rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease

V. BORROWING COST

Borrowings cost are interest and other costs (including exchange diff erences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying / eligible assets, intended for commercial production are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the year in which they are incurred

W. OPERATING SEGMENTS

Operating segments are defi ned as components of the Holding Company /Group: (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Holding Company /Group),(b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Holding Company's /Group's designated individual chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and (c) for which discrete fi nancial information is available.

Management has chosen to organise the Holding Company /Group, around diff erences in business activities/ customer base/ products belonging to diff erent industry, having diff erent economic characteristics and not on the basis of geographical areas, looking to the practical impediments.

Accordingly the Holding Company /Group has identifi ed following reportable segments, viz. Flexible packaging activities, Engineering activities and others (Unallocable). All directly attributable revenue and expenses and expenses which can be allocated to segments, are reported under each reportable segment. All other expenses which are not attributable or allocable to segments, are shown under Other (Unallocable). Holding Company /Group has identifi ed assets and liabilities to each reportable segment.

X. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDRADS (IND AS)

Ministry of Corporate Aff airs ("MCA") notifi es new standards or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time.

On March 23, 2022, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022, as below.

Ind AS 16 – Property Plant and equipment - The amendment clarifi es that excess of net sale proceeds of items produced over the cost of testing, if any, shall not be recognized in the profi t or loss but deducted from the directly attributable costs considered as part of cost of an item of property, plant, and equipment. The eff ective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2022. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact is not expected to be material.

Ind AS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets – The amendment specifi es that the 'cost of fulfi lling' a contract comprises the 'costs that relate directly to the contract'. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfi lling that contract (examples would be direct labor, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfi lling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfi lling the contract). The eff ective date for adoption of this amendment is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2022, although early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the amendment and the impact is not expected to be material.

The expected benefi ts increases are based on the same assumptions as are used to measure the Company's defi ned benefi t plan obligations as at 31st March 2022. The company is expected to contribute Rs. 1132.66 lacs to defi ned benefi ts plan obligations fund for the year ending 31st March 2023.

NOTES ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

The signifi cant accounting assumptions are the discount rate and expected salary increases. The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on reasonable possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period while other assumptions are constant.

If the discount rate increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defi ned benefi t plan obligations would decrease by Rs.251.13 Lacs (increase by Rs.269.33 Lacs) as at 31st March 2022.

If the expected salary growth increases /(decreases) by 0.5%, the defi ned benefi t plan obligations would increase by Rs.266.63 Lacs (decrease by Rs.250.04 Lacs) as at 31st March 2022.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defi ned benefi t obligations as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Further in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defi ned benefi t obligations has been calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defi ned benefi t obligation liability recognised in the Balance Sheet.

b) Leave Encashment

39: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created an unprecedented global health crisis that has a deep impact on the businesses and economy. Group operates in multiple countries across the globe – both in terms of its manufacturing operations and the markets for its products and all these countries had imposed lockdowns of varying types aimed at containing the spread of the virus. Given that Group's business is manufacturing of Flexible Packaging Films and Flexible Packaging, which is predominantly used in food and Pharma packaging, all out eff orts were being made by all countries to ensure the adequate supply of food and medicines to the public, which was made possible only due to seamless continued operations of packaging industry. While Group did face initial administrative and supply chain challenges in some countries during initial lockdown period, but there was no impact on its overall production and sales volumes during the period. While Group believes that its business will continue to remain unscathed by the pandemic; however there could be uncertainties in the future due to underlying developments w.r.t COVID 19, which are diffi cult to predict.

51: FINANCIAL RISKS MANAGEMENT

In the course of business, amongst others, the Group is exposed to several fi nancial risks such as Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Exchange Risk and Commodity Price Risk. These risks may be caused by the internal and external factors resulting into impairment of the assets of the Group causing adverse infl uence on the achievement of Group's strategies, operational and fi nancial objectives, earning capacity and fi nancial position.

The Group has formulated an appropriate policy and established a risk management framework which encompass the following process.

  • identify the major fi nancial risks which may cause fi nancial losses to the Group
  • assess the probability of occurrence and severity of fi nancial losses
  • mitigate and control them by formulation of appropriate policies, strategies, structures, systems and procedures
  • Monitor and review periodically the adherence, adequacy and effi cacy of the fi nancial risk management system.

The Group enterprise risk management system is monitored and reviewed at all levels of management, Audit Committee and the Board of Directors from time to time.

Credit Risk

Credit Risk refers to the risks that arise on default by the counterparty on its contractual obligation resulting into fi nancial loss to the Group. The Group may carry this Risk on Trade and other receivables, liquid assets and some of the non current fi nancial assets.

In case of Trade receivables, the Group has framed appropriate policy for extending credits period & limit to each customer based on their profi le, fi nancial position and their external rating etc. The collections of trade dues are strictly monitored . In case of Export customers, even credit guarantee insurance is also obtained wherever required.

Group's exposure to Credit Risk is also infl uenced by the concentration of risk from top fi ve customers. The details in respect of the% of sales generated from the top customer and top fi ve customers are given hereunder.

Particulars Current Year Previous Year
Revenue from Top Customer 5% 7%
Revenue from Top Five Customers 12% 15%

The credit risk on cash & cash equivalent, investment in fi xed deposits, liquid funds and deposits are insignifi cant as counterparties are banks or mutual funds with high credit ratings assigned by the rating agencies of international repute.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity Risk arises when the Group is unable to meet its short term fi nancial obligations as and when they fall due.

The Group maintains adequate liquidity in the system so as to meet its all fi nancial liabilities timely. In addition to this, the Group's overall fi nancial position is very strong so as to meet any eventuality of liquidity tightness.

Contractual maturities of fi nancial liabilities are given as under:

Other Financial Liabilities 34138.41 27252.62 6885.79

Interest Rate Risk

Generally market linked fi nancial instruments are subject to interest rate risk. The Group does not have any marked linked fi nancial instrument both on the asset or liability side. Hence no interest rate risk.

In case of the borrowings by the Group, the Group is subject to interest rate risk on account of any fl uctuation in the base prime lending rate (BPLR) fi xed by the banks. Every fl uctuation in the BPLR of the bank either on the higher or lower side will result into fi nancial loss or gain to the Group.

The debt of the company is linked with the BPLR for loans from Indian Banks and for overseas entities major portion of the debt is linked with the LIBOR The total proportions of borrowings based on variable rate of interest is Rs. 337357.22 Lacs out of the total Borrowings of Rs.456250.67 Lacs.

Based on the structure of net debt as at year end, a one percentage point increase in the debt would cause an additional expense in the net fi nancing cost of Rs. 3373.57 Lacs.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Group is exposed to the foreign currency risk from transactions & translation. Transactional exposures are arising from the transactions entered into foreign currency. Management keeps a close watch of the maturity of the fi nancial assets in foreign currency and payment obligations of the fi nancial liabilities.

The carrying amount of the Group's material foreign currency dominated monetary Assets and Liabilities at the end of the reporting period is as below:

5% appreciation (Rs. in lacs) (2509.14)(2500.20)
5% depreciation (Rs. in lacs) 2509.14 2500.20

Commodity Price Risk

The main raw materials which Group procures are global commodities and their prices are to a great extent linked to the movement of crude prices directly or indirectly.

The pricing policy of the Group fi nal product is structured in such a way that any change in price of raw materials is passed on to the customers in the fi nal product however, with a time lag which mitigates the raw material price risk.

With regard to the fi nished products, the Group has been operating in a global competitive environment which continues to keep downward pressure on the prices and the volumes of the products.

In order to combat this situation, the Group formulated manifold plans and strategies to develop new customers & focus on new innovative products. In addition, it has also been focusing on improvement in product quality and productivity. With these measures, Group counters the competition and consequently commodity price risk.
