Letter to Shareholders

VIKAS GARG Promoter-Executive & Managing Director

StrOnGer, Better, Greener

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

At Vikas Ecotech, FY 17–18 was a year of both accomplishments and unseen challenges. The organisation saw a slowdown in operations due to an inquiry by a government authority in the last quarter of the year under review. We weathered it to emerge resilient. I am happy to report that our business performance was stable during the year – delivering continued value across the stakeholder ecosystem. In fact, our commitment towards accelerating growth for our customers, safeguarding stakeholder interests, conducting business responsibly and enhancing the sustainability of our planet became firmer.

Dear Shareowners,

FY18 was a year of paradoxical performance at Vikas Ecotech. our profitability margins reached historic peak levels. we expanded the global reach of our offerings by entering new geographical regions and our industryleading position was strengthened by progressive green innovations.

During the year, we recorded superior performance in the first three quarters. The fourth quarter, however, witnessed a slowdown in operations due to a survey of our trading activities by a government agency. our short-term performance was, hence, affected. with 80 percent of our raw materials being imported and exports constituting 50 percent of our revenues, the company was subject to certain examination. Consequently, our fourth quarter performance decelerated by approximately 70 percent. however, the silver lining was that our annual performance remained stable despite this temporary hurdle.

Performance Review

I share with you our performance highlights of FY18 and the key trends and initiatives that will be fundamental to our next phase of growth. I am confident that you continue to share our excitement about the future prospects of the company and believe in our potential to optimise opportunities.

Our revenues during the year was inr 366 crOre as cOmpared tO inr 373 crOre Of the previOus year. the prOfitability levels were pOsitive – well Over 20 percent as cOmpared tO the last year.

our net revenues during the year came in at INR 366.16 crore as compared to INR 372.80 crore in FY17. our net profitability levels stood at an all-time high of INR 28.61 crore - recording a growth of over 20 percent over the last year. The robust profitability growth translated into better earnings for our shareholders – the earnings per share (EPS) registered a 12 percent increase during the year.

we delivered a positive performance and improved profitability metrics. It reflects our strong business fundamentals and a resilient governance framework. I am happy to share that our revenues increased by over 160 percent in the first quarter of FY19 in comparison to last quarter of FY18. In addition, we successfully posted healthy profits during the period – undoing the losses registered in the preceding quarter.

our ability to bounce back in the subsequent quarter of the disruption is testimony to our vigour and conviction. with the trials behind us, we are upbeat and optimistic about the future. Today, we are better poised than before to capitalise on the opportunities offered by India’s emerging position as the global hub for specialty chemicals.

The Eye of the Tiger

During the last fiscal, the global supply chain of specialty chemicals witnessed severe constraints owing to environmental compliance-related clamp down on Chinese production units. The trade war between China and the USA added to the supply stress. In this context, India is in a ripe position to benefit from the situation and emerge as the global hub for specialty chemicals. Its popularity is underpinned by increased consumption in domestic end-

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

user industries, which in turn are benefitting from India’s consumer story and a responsive green-oriented policy framework. Further, the country’s skilled manpower and enhanced production capacity for specialty chemicals afforded by economies of scale are attracting large-scale domestic and foreign investments.

Beyond these inherent factors, India’s specialty chemicals sector also benefits from the eco-friendly industry charter, innovative competencies and ability to deliver international quality of products. Further, our country’s governance framework, especially regulations related to taxes and IPR protection, make it the preferred destination for R&Dintensive, early technology lifecycle production. In 2017, India’s specialty chemicals industry market size was pegged at USD 52.1 billion . The industry is set to double its current market size by 2025 – growing at 10 to 15 percent annually.

As India’s leading homegrown specialty chemicals company with an eco-friendly focus, Vikas Ecotech is a front-runner in benefitting from the country’s emergence as a manufacturing hotspot. over the last five years, we have acquired export customers that are some of the best players in the world. Last year, we added Mexichem, the Latin-American global leader in PVC pipes manufacturing, to our clientele. During FY18, we started exporting our flagship organotin PVC heat stabilizers to the USA. The country is the world’s largest market for organotin – with its market size being approximately 10 times that of India.

in 2017, india’s specialty chemicals industry market size was pegged at usd 52.1 billiOn. the industry is set tO dOuble its current market size by 2025 – grOwing at 10 tO 15 percent annually.

Harnessing Opportunities for Success

what are the factors that determine the success of a company?

According to warren Buffett, Chairman and CEo of Berkshire hathaway, successful businesses are “economic castles with unbreachable moats around them”. Economic moats are competitive advantages of a company that protect its long-term profits and market share from competing firms. As the global economy unfolds its next phase of growth, the rules of success are fast-changing. I believe that Vikas Ecotech has four economic moats that will enable it to thrive in the context of an economy led by disruption and public policy-led environmental friendly regulations.

The Sustainability Moat

with sustainability becoming mainstream, increasing environmental consciousness in the stakeholder value chain is imperative to a successful business. A recent survey by a leading consumer firm estimates the global market for sustainable goods to be around USD 2.65 trillion. Accordingly, the need for organisations to prove their social and environmental commitment is more pronounced in emerging markets. The report also states that effectively marketed sustainable goods could represent a USD 1 trillion opportunity. India’s specialty chemicals opportunity holds great potential owing to its inherent compliance-driven sustainability thrust. Unlike China, our policies are rooted in the green promise and long-term view.

At Vikas Ecotech, sustainability is a key pillar of our growth. we are steering the future of India’s specialty chemicals industry through green leadership. The company is among the world eight and India’s only manufacturer of methyl tin mercaptide (MTM) stabilizers. Also know as organotins, these are non-toxic, safe alternatives to lead-based stabilizers. They are used in the manufacture of products made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) -mainly pipes and films.

During the last fiscal, we launched our new range of Calcium-Zinc (CaZn) heat stabilizers for PVC, which are the eco-friendly alternative to toxic metal-based stabilizers. with this offering, our competencies to leverage the opportunities offered by India’s changing policy landscape are further fortified.

The Innovation Moat

The specialty chemicals industry thrives on innovation. For instance, Germany’s Merck KGaA invented liquid crystals more than a century ago; when they had no realworld application. however, the technology brought in unprecedented results following the advent of flat screens. Today, the business boasts of operating margins at well over 40 percent .

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

during the last fiscal, we launched Our new range Of calcium-zinc (cazn) stabilizers which are an ecO-friendly alternative tO tOxic metal-based stabilizers.

The specialty chemicals industry has many such anecdotes. however, breakthrough innovations often take years to show commercial potential. Surviving the contemporary hypercompetitive milieu requires organisations to garner greater productivity from their R&D spend. Consequently, specialty chemical manufacturers have reined their focus on smaller innovations that make a big, immediate impact.

At Vikas Ecotech, we follow a dual R&D strategy. Firstly, our team focuses on leveraging immediate opportunities through a robust pipeline of small innovations. During the last fiscal year, for instance, we innovated the vulcanised rubber gaskets used for PVC pipes fittings. The small tweak in the traditional product offers customers the benefits of both flexible and rigid properties. our offering solves the challenges faced during fitment and joining of PVC pipes. It has become popular in end-user applications in a short span since its launch. Alongside, our team also works on blockbuster innovations that can change the growth trajectory of the organisation in the IPR-led global specialty chemicals industry.

The sudden curb had an undermining effect on Vikas Ecotech. we source 2-Ethylhexyl Thioglycolate (2-EhTG), a solvent chemical and a key material in the production of organotin, from China. while our operations were not hit badly, we needed to ensure uninterrupted supply of the raw material in view of the anticipated domestic and global demand for organotins.

Today, we are in the process of setting up India’s first 2-EhTG manufacturing plant at our new production facility in Dahej, Gujarat. our nimble-footedness and the ability to respond to changing business needs in an agile manner gives us an edge over larger players

The Culture Moat

Lastly, I would like to reiterate the focus on integrity and governance at Vikas Ecotech. It is our commitment to doing the right thing that has driven our success. our ability to withstand challenges reflects our resilience, integrity and perseverance. our efforts are supported by a culture of cohesiveness that drives us to be united amid trying circumstances. The wisdom of the members of our Board and the Advisory panel goes a long way in enabling us to drive ‘win–win’ solutions during such times.

Together, we are steering towards a better future. we are steadily picking up pace to transform our positioning as leaders of India’s sustainable specialty chemicals segment. Since our inception, we have consciously strived to deliver solutions across the stakeholder ecosystem and be responsible towards our planet. In the long run, we believe that the prosperity of the stakeholder value chain will translate into profitable returns for our shareholders.

I would like to thank our employees for their efforts, our customers for their trust, our vendors for their cooperation, our regulators for their oversight and our investors for their confidence in our abilities. These are the pillars that will drive our success as we set out to become a better, greener and stronger organisation.

Thank you. Yours sincerely,

Vikas Garg

The Responsiveness Moat

In my letter last year, I had mentioned how organizations are rendered helpless in the face of geopolitical and economic vagaries. Little has changed since then; although the global economic performance is gradually returning to pre-crisis levels, the larger landscape continues to be marked with increasing uncertainties. For instance, the clamp down on Chinese chemical production houses affected the global supply chain during the last fiscal year.

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

Global Overview

Winds of Change

The global specialty chemicals industry will exceed USD 1 trillion in volume terms by 2020 – growing at a rate of five 5 percent annually . The demand is driven by replacement-led growth in developed economies such as the USA and Europe and economic expansion in emerging economies. While 2017 saw the global production of specialty chemicals increase by 2.5 percent, 2018 is likely to see a growth of 3 percent . As per industry estimates, the Indian speciality chemical industry grew by nearly 12 percent in the last year and is likely to witness 10–15 percent CAGR growth over the next 5 years.

Last year was a defining year for the global chemicals industry. A number of events impacted the industry’s future evolution. Key global incidents show a definite trend in the global chemical industries’ landscape. They are as follows:

Focus on Eco-friendliness

In 2017, an estimated 40 percent of China’s factories were shut down at some point to facilitate inspection by environmental bureau officials. This was combined with the implementation of a host of new environmentrelated regulations. The clamp down had a major impact on China’s chemical markets, especially its polyethylene and polypropylene industries. As a result, hundreds of downstream companies, producers and production units were shut down. These developments are a result of the globally accepted vision of implementing a more sustainable economic growth model – a factor that was ignored earlier in the quest for resourceintensive economic growth.

This push for better chemical safety has set the stage for higher demand for biodegradable specialty chemicals.

Escalating Geopolitical Tensions

The trend of deglobalization continues as an increasing number of economies propagate inward-looking policies by imposing high import tariffs. The most significant events are perhaps trade protectionism and the ongoing trade war between the USA and China; this retreat that can have major implications for the global chemicals industry and benefit Indian companies. historically, much of the sector’s research and development was conducted near the company headquarters. The results were distributed to relevant regions across the Company’s global network, often in partnership with local organizations.

The intensification of the trade war between major economies and the subsequent imposition of high export tariffs would render the strategy of relying on few lowcost manufacturing units to meet a companies’ global demands unviable. Chemical companies are shifting their R&D and production across the world to have unfettered access to key markets, ensuring that production is within reach.

Evolution of Compliance into Competitiveness

The new reality of the specialty chemicals industry is defined by the scarcity of raw materials. To combat this, policymakers across the world are tightening norms to ensure more effective usage of resources and energy. Simultaneously, they are implementing regulations to

reduce waste and emission levels. Such requirements are expanding at global, regional and local levels . on their part, industry players realize that going forward, adhering to sustainability regulations is a key competitive advantage.

with rising awareness, their social license to operate stems from their actions for the betterment of the environment and by extension, for the planet. Consequently, specialty chemical manufacturers are disrupting their inherent business ecosystems to integrate C2C (‘cradle-to-cradle’) strategies in their business models. These optimize material health, recyclability, renewable energy use, water efficiency and quality, and social responsibility

The chemicals industry is a key stakeholder in the global fight against climate change. with 96 percent of manufactured products relying on chemicals, the sector is often held responsible for polluting upstream processes and an eighth of the global industrial carbon emissions . It is evident that chemical manufacturers will have to process rapid innovations to cut enough emissions to keep the rise in global average temperatures to “well below” 2° Celsius (3.6° F) above pre-industrial times .

while seemingly daunting, sustainability trends are giving rise to new opportunities for the specialty chemicals sector – making it a critical player of the solutions landscape. For instance, companies producing batteries for electric cars are looking to profit from the USD 83 billion opportunity in the low carbon transition. The approach of organizations to decarbonization initiatives and their ability to innovate to align their business strategies with ambitious carbon emission reduction goals will determine their relevance in the context. owing to this, eco-friendly specialty chemicals such as organotinled stabilizers are witnessing increased demand across the globe.

India as the Next Green Manufacturing Hub

on account of compliance, capital and capacity issues, India is displacing China as the world’s manufacturing hub for specialty chemicals in an eco-friendly and green manner. Industry estimates concur that the cost of production of specialty chemicals in India is 10–15 percent lower than in China following the implementation of environment-related compliances . The opportunity is being leveraged by factors such as economies of scale, R&D skillsets and expansive production capacities supported by proactive government policies. however, at the same time, the super-specialized nature of the specialty chemicals sector makes it essential for incumbent companies to possess highly skilled scientific talent and meet stringent quality parameters set by global leaders.

Leveraging Competitive Value Propositions

India is evolving as the preferred global hub for manufacturing specialty chemicals because of R&D, talent and cost benefits. over the years, the country has established a strong ecosystem of basic chemicals – which forms the foundational input of the specialty chemicals industry . Analysts believe that the country is becoming an increasingly favoured destination owing to its process capabilities, compliance with environmental norms and stringent implementation of IP protection laws .

Global trends such as extended product responsibility (EPR), through practices such as end-of-life recycling, are becoming increasingly popular and will soon be implemented in India through government-led regulations. These competitive propositions make it compelling for global and domestic players to deepen their base in the country as compared to other cheaper manufacturing destinations that end up having serious compliance issues.

Upping the Demand Momentum

In the recent past, the Indian specialty chemicals industry has witnessed growth at an annual average of 13 percent as compared to the global growth of around 5–7 percent . The momentum is supported by rising domestic demand rather than exports. This is due to the government’s renewed focus on public health, affordable housing, agriculture and infrastructure development. For instance, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is the world’s largest housing scheme while Aayushman Bharat is the world’s largest public health protection scheme; both will further spur demand for performance-enhancing green specialty chemicals. Experts believe that in the view of rapidly depleting natural resources and excessive dependence on groundwater, the focus of agriculture should move away from quantity-centricity to water effectiveness . This will ensure long-term sustainability and generate greater profitability for the sector due to the use of green specialty chemicals in the PVC pipes sector.

Another important area of focus for the specialty

chemicals segment is infrastructure. over the last decade, India’s infrastructure investments have witnessed a twofold increase – from USD 75.7 billion in FY08 to USD 260.2 billion in FY17 . All these factors directly contribute to the growth of the specialty chemicals sector.

the indian specialty chemicals industry has witnessed grOwth at an annual average Of 13% as cOmpared tO the glObal grOwth Of arOund 7%.

The Future of Specialty Chemicals is in building a sustainable India

In spite of India’s consumption boom, the per capita chemical consumption in the country remains low compared to competing economies. To illustrate, chemicals consumption in China amounted to Euro(€)1.37 trillion in 2016, while in the USA the figure was gauged at Euro(€)450.39 billion. In India, the estimated consumption was pegged at Euro(€)92.88 billion .

The estimates indicate that the Indian specialty chemicals sector consumption is less than 7 percent of China and around 20 percent of the USA. Evidently, the potential for growth is immense . This opens up huge opportunities for Indian businesses to scale up and grow on a sustained basis. Additionally, lower commodity prices, rising awareness and compliance led demand for eco-friendly specialty chemicals will lead to improved margins, and rising demand will facilitate volume growth.

Proactive Green Compliances with a Long-Term View

Realizing the potential of the specialty chemicals segment, policymakers have introduced a plethora of programmes and policies to enhance the sector’s competitiveness and promote its growth. The ambitious Make-in-India initiative has delicenced manufacturing of most chemicals and permitted 100 percent foreign direct investments (FDI) in the sector. This will give a fillip to domestic players to attract capital and technology exchange from the best overseas players.

The government is providing support in the form of tax benefits and a vibrant ecosystem that supports industry and innovation. These include rules and infrastructure for effluent treatment and environmental norms. Consequently, Indian companies are adhering to environmental norms by investing in effluent treatment plants. while this investment does enhance their cost margins by 5-6 percent , the long-term benefits are far greater.

India Is a Sweet Green Spot in the Current

Context

India’s specialty chemicals industry is set to benefit from the ongoing global geopolitical strains. For instance, the talks of China lowering import tariffs for chemical products sourced from India is a positive development.

Further, the country’s location close to the world’s source of feedstock – Middle East – makes it a lucrative investment destination for manufacturing of specialty chemicals. These advantages will enable the country to participate across the specialty chemicals manufacturing value chain including green solutions and promote it from its current stance of a manufacturer of basic chemicals alone.

Phasing out Lead-based stabilizers in India

Time for Green Action

Brain heart Intestine Bones

==> picture [44 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Lead is a cumulative toxicant that affects multiple body systems. Lead ingestion can cause metal to be accumulated in the human body – leading to permanent adverse health effects in the brain, nervous system, liver and bone.

The world health organization (who) states that no known levels of lead exposure are considered safe. The Institute for health Metrics and Evaluation (IhME) estimates that in 2016, lead exposure accounted for 63.8 percent of the global burden of idiopathic developmental intellectual disability, 3 percent of the global burden of ischaemic heart disease and 3.1 percent of the global burden of strokes.

For the large populace, lead exposure happens through the usage of lead-based PVC pipes and lead-glazed containers that are used to transport water. Lead is the oldest known heat stabilizer to be used in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes. Recognizing the toxicity of the metal, several countries and corporations have phased out the use of lead stabilizers. They promote the usage of alternative, toxic-free and cost-effective eco-friendly metals such as tin, calcium and zinc. A compliance-led movement has started in India with lead being banned from PVC pipe manufacturing and thus greatly benefitting the society. It gives a fillip to domestic players who have built alternate ecofriendly specialty chemical solutions.

Financial Performance

Perseverance is Progress

In FY18, the Company reported stable financial performance despite witnessing a disruptive fourth quarter. During the year, we registered net revenues of INR 366.16 crore as compared to INR 372.80 crore during FY17.

EBIDTA marginally declined by 10.7 percent at INR 61.9 crore as compared to INR 69.3 crore during the previous fiscal. However, at INR 28.6 crore, profits after tax registered a robust 23.3 percent increase over the last year. In FY17, the company had registered INR 23.2 crore as profits after tax

The flat financial performance of the company is largely attributable to a survey of the company’s international trade operations by a government agency in the fourth quarter. Global operations affect a significant part of

the business at Vikas Ecotech – up to 80 percent of the raw materials used in our manufacturing operations are imported, while exports constitute 50 percent of the overall revenues. These surveys were carried out across company’s locations – at our corporate premises, factories and port units – disrupting the company’s day-today operations for a large part of the fourth quarter. Consequently, our financial performance was affected although we posted reasonable growth during the first three quarters (refer graph quarterwise Y-O-Y performance) .

In Q1FY19, we have successfully reined in our revenues to normalcy and hope to be back to our previous growth trajectories. our ability to deliver positive results in spite of the challenge is reflective of our robust business practices, cutting-edge innovation abilities and pioneering technological investments. As an organisation, we remain committed to robust governance and business practices with self-belief to follow the rule of the land, allow ourselves to stringent scrutiny, yet come out with renewed vigour and conviction.

Key events of the year:

Sticking to Our Strategic Transformation Goals

over the last three years, we have undertaken conscious initiatives to transform the inherent business model at Vikas Ecotech. our efforts are channelized towards offering eco-friendly and efficacy-led solutions to our customers. In FY13, we derived 64 percent of our revenues from trading.

The specialty compounds and additive businesses constituted the remaining 36 percent of the revenues with an EBIDTA margin of approximately 4 percent. In FY18, the ratio has significantly changed with specialty compounds and additive businesses constituting 78 percent of the company’s revenues. The EBIDTA margins of these businesses vastly improved to 17 percent during the last fiscal year.

Enhanced Value Creation by Sharper Focus on Core Competencies

The company is adept at both, value-based business (manufacturing of specialty chemicals) and volume-based business (trading and recycled compounds). To capitalize both the competencies, in FY18, the management decided to demerge the organization into two separate entities – each with a distinct focus area. while Vikas Ecotech will continue to deal with high-value business, its spinoff entity, Vikas Multicorp, will deal with high-volume businesses.

Vikas Multicorp will be independently listed on the bourses and shareholders of Vikas Ecotech will receive shares of Vikas Multicorp in the ratio of 1:1. The demerger is expected to be completed during the current fiscal year.

In FY18, the specialty additives segment contributed to 22 percent of the revenues at Vikas Ecotech. here are the highlights of the segment during the previous fiscal year:

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

Product Updates

Organotin Stabilizers

Tin metal–based stabilizers for PVC pipes, Methyl Tin Mercaptide (MTM) generally referred as organotin continue to be the focus of our specialty additives segment. we are India’s only indigenous manufacturer of organotin and amongst the eight global manufacturers of this highly specialised additive.

In FY18, Vikas Ecotech entered the US markets with the export of its flagship organotin stabilizers. our products are certified by reputed global and local testing agencies such as Intertek Deutschland Gmbh, Germany, and FICCI Research & Analysis Centre, India.

organotin stabilizers are the only alternative to lead-based stabilizers in PVC pipes to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agency. USA is the world’s largest consumer of organotin – having banned lead-based stabilizers in the mid 1980’s. The country consumes up to 80,000 MT of organotin per annum.

The foray into the world’s largest market is a testament to the best-in-class quality of our product offerings. It enhances our position as a global player in the organotin segment - offering new opportunities for growth. In view of the anticipated high demand for organotin, we are in the process of ramping up our manufacturing capacities by an additional 3,000 MT per annum to meet the increasing demand.

CaZn Stabilizers

During the last fiscal, we launched a new range of Calcium-Zinc (CaZn) stabilizers. This range of eco-friendly heat stabilizers are used in the manufacture of flexible PVC applications such as cables and pipes, toys, healthcare products and so on.

Currently, the market for this compound is import-dependent with 70 percent of the raw material requirements being imported. The CaZn formulation promotes the government’s ‘Make in India’ vision by offering an import substitute for essential additives. The company has installed a CaZn manufacturing unit at its primary manufacturing facility in Shahjahanpur in Rajasthan. The installed capacity is 7,000 MT per annum. At full capacity, the CaZn unit is likely to generate revenues of around INR 70 crores.

Strategy Updates

Setting Up of India’s Only 2-Ethylhexyl Thioglycolate (2-EHTG) Manufacturing Plant

2-EhTG is a key raw material used in production of organotin stabilizers. As India’s only manufacturer of organotin, Vikas Ecotech consumes a significant quantity of the material annually. Currently, the entire requirement of the compound is met through imports – primarily from China. however, during the last fiscal year, the supply of the material was constrained. This was a result of the closure of few manufacturing units following a clamp down by environmental authorities in the country. Consequently, the manufacturing of organotin stabilizers at Vikas Ecotech was affected.

In view of the anticipated rise in demand for organotin stabilizers, it is important to ensure uninterrupted supply of the 2-EhTG chemical. The Company is setting up India’s first 2-EhTG manufacturing plant at its new production facility in Dahej, Gujarat. The set-up is a part of the backward integration strategy of the company.

The project will be set up at a cost of INR 35 crore with a production capacity of approximately 3,600 MT per annum. Vikas Ecotech will consume around 70–80 percent of the 2-EhTG output in-house. The surplus production will be sold in open markets. The Company has collaborated with a leading, reputed manufacturer based in Europe of the compound chemcial for technology transfer. The agreement terms are on a build–operate– transfer (BoT) basis.

At full potential, the product will generate revenues of INR 70 crores in revenue and yield more than 20 percent EBIDTA margins . 2-EThG production is likely to start during FY20.

The young professionals will infuse a fresh perspective to our R&D capabilities. Simultaneously, we will prepare them for future roles as imminent leaders of the organization.

Customer Centricity

During the last fiscal year, we made important seniorlevel recruitments to enhance our focus on customer centricity. This move will lend the organization a strategic edge by enabling us to better understand customer priorities and offer solutions in accordance with their product roadmaps. Reorienting our R&D investments to align with customer product development efforts will help enhance relationships and create long-term growth prospects for the organization.

Environment Friendliness

our robust pipeline of eco-friendly product offerings lends us a competitive edge for long-term success. During the last year, the R&D department developed a hybrid compound – a one-pack non-toxic product comprising a combination of organotin and Calcium-Zinc stabilizers. A replacement for the traditional lead-based stabilizers dominating India’s PVC pipes industry, the product offers the best features of both its inherent eco-friendly components. we anticipate a huge demand for the product as policymakers’ firm up a framework to phase out the use of lead-based stabilizers in PVC pipes over the next few years.

Management’s responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and financial performance of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. 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 financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the financial statements by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company’s Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Opinion

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

Annexure “B” to the Independent Auditors Report on the Financial Statements of VIKAS ECOTECH LIMITED

(Referred to in paragraph 2 (f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ of our report of even date)

REPORT ON THE INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING UNDER CLAUSE (i) OF SUB-SECTION 3 OF SECTION 143 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 (“THE ACT”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of VIKAS ECOTECH LIMITED (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on “the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India”. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on my/our audit conducted in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

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

MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

OPINION

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI. However the company needs to improve its process for inventory physical verification, obtaining balances confirmations from suppliers or customers at regular interval etc.

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18 89

Notes forming part of financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March, 2018

1. Corporate information

Vikas Ecotech Limited (‘the Company’) is a Delhi based professionally managed Company incorporated on 30[th] November, 1984 under the Companies Act, 1956, having its registered office at Vikas Apartments, 34/1, East Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi – 110 026 and is listed on National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

The Company is an emerging player in the global arena engaged in the business of high-end specialty chemicals. It is an integrated, multi-specialty product solutions company, producing a wide variety of superior quality, eco-friendly additives and rubber-plastic compounds. Its additives and rubber-plastic compounds are process-critical and valueenabling ingredients used to manufacture a varied cross-section of high-performance, environment-friendly and safetycritical products. From agriculture to automotive, cables to electrical, hygiene to healthcare, polymers to packaging, textiles to footwear, the Company’s products serve a diverse range of global industry needs. The Company has its manufacturing plants in the state of Rajasthan, Noida SEZ (UP) & Kandla SEZ (Gujrat). Also, the Company has planned for construction of a new State-of-the-art Plant & Innovation Centre at Dahej in Gujarat to cater to Export and Western Indian markets.

2. Basis of preparation

a) Statement of compliance:

The Company has adopted Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) with effect from 1[st] April 2017 with transition date of 1[st] April 2016, pursuant to notification issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs dated 16[th] February 2015, notifying the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with the Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (‘the Act’), read together with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.

These financial statements are covered by Ind AS 101: First time adoption of Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) being first Ind AS annual financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2018 and are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. The Ind AS accounting policies are compared to most recent annual financial statements prepared under Indian GAAP (“Previous GAAP”). Accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented in the financial statements.

For all periods up to and including the year ended 31[st] March, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with accounting standards notified under section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 (Indian GAAP). The transition was carried out from the accounting principles generally accepted in India (Indian GAAP) which is considered as previous GAAP, as defined in Ind AS 101. An explanation of how the transition to Ind AS has impacted the Company’s equity and profits is provided in Note 41.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors on 31.05.2018.

b) Basis of measurement:

The financial statements have been prepared on accrual and going concern basis and historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value or amortised cost, as required under relevant Ind AS.

c) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions:

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

Judgments

Information about significant areas of estimation/ uncertainty and judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows:

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods in these financial statements and in preparing the opening Ind AS Balance Sheet as at 1[st] April, 2016 for the purposes of the transition to Ind AS.

a) Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on current/ non-current classification.

Assets

An asset as current when it is:

Expected to be realised or intended to sold or consumed in normal operating cycle
Held primarily for the purpose of trading
Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

Liability

A liability is current when:

It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

Current liabilities include the current portion of non-current financial liabilities. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

Operating cycle

The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has identified twelve months as its operating cycle basis the nature of business.

b) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including capital work in progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

Subsequent expenditures related to an item of property, plant and equipment are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized, when replaced. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

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

Transition to Ind AS

On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment recognised as at 1[st] April, 2016 measured as per previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the property, plant and equipment. (Refer note 41).

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values

Assets are depreciated to the residual values on a written down value method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, derived as per the Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, which are as follows:

	Useful lives
Ofce building	60 years
Leasehold Improvement (Ofce)	60 years
Leasehold Improvement (Factory Building)	30 years
Plant and machinery	10 - 15 years
Ofce equipment	5 years
Furniture and fxtures	10 years
Vehicles – Motor cycles and scooters	10 years
Vehicles – Motor cars	8 years
Computers	3 years
Leasehold land	Period of lease or useful life,whichever is less

The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each financial year end or whenever there are indicators for impairment, and adjusted prospectively, as appropriate.

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

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in Statement of Profit and Loss within other gains/ (losses). Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased/ sold during the year.

c) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset maybe impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cashgenerating units’ (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss as a component of depreciation and amortisation expense.

A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited to the extent the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is carried at the revalued amount, in which case the reverse is treated as a revaluation increase.

d) Leases – Company as a lessee

The determination of whether an arrangement is(or contains) a lease is based on the substance of an arrangement at inception date: whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease.

Finance leases are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Company’s policy on the borrowing costs.

Leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and escalation in the contract, which are structured to compensate expected general inflationary increase are not straight-lined. Contingent rents are recognized as expense in the period in Statement of Profit and Loss in which they are incurred.

e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows.

f) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial assets are recognised initially at fairvalue plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets.

Classification and subsequent measurement

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, the Company classifies financial assets in following categories:

Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)

Financial assets at amortised cost

The category applies to the Company’s trade receivables, unbilled revenue, other bank balances, security deposits, etc.

A financial asset being a ‘debt instrument’ is measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows and
b) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

This category is most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial assets at FVTOCI

A financial asset being a ‘debt instrument’ is measured at FVTOCI if both the following conditions are met:

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

The objective of the business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets, and
The asset’s contractual cash flows represent SPPI.

Debt instruments included within the FVTOCI category are measured initially as well as at each reporting date at fair value. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI). However, the Company recognizes interest income, impairment losses & reversals in the Statement of Profit and Loss. On de-recognition of the asset, cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from the equity to Statement of Profit and Loss.

Interest earned whilst holding FVTOCI debt instrument is reported as interest income. The Company does not have any financial assets which are measured through FVTOCI.

Financial assets at FVTPL

FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization at amortized cost or at FVTOCI, is classified at FVTPL.

Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company does not have any financial assets which are measured through FVTPL.

In addition, the Company may elect to designate a debt instrument, which otherwise meets amortized cost or FVTOCI criteria, as at FVTPL. However, such election is allowed only if doing so reduces or eliminates a measurement or recognition inconsistency (referred to as ‘accounting mismatch’). The Company has not designated any debt instrument at FVTPL.

Equity investments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS103 applies are classified as at FVTPL. There are no such investments in the Company.

De-recognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company’s balance sheet) when:

The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
The Company has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets that are debt instruments and are initially measured at fair value with subsequent measurement at amortised cost e.g. Trade receivables, unbilled revenue etc.

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance for trade receivables.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, twelve month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in the subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on a twelve month ECL.

ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls),discounted at the original EIR.

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings or payables, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fairvalue and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, security deposits, etc.

Classification and subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/ losses attributable to changes in own credit risks are recognized in OCI. These gains/ loss are not subsequently transferred to Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

This category includes security deposit received, trade payables etc. After initial recognition, such liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Reclassification of financial assets

The Company determines classification of financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. After initial recognition, no reclassification is made for financial assets which are equity instruments and financial liabilities. For financial assets which are debt instruments, a reclassification is made only if there is a change in the business model for managing those assets. Changes to the business model are expected to be infrequent. The Company’s senior management determines change in the business model as a result of external or internal changes which are significant to the Company’s operations. Such changes are evident to external parties. A change in the business model occurs when the Company either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. If the Company reclassifies financial assets, it applies the reclassification prospectively from the reclassification date which is the first day of the immediately next reporting period following the change in business model. The Company does not restate any previously recognised gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

g) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government.

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the customer. Sales are net off sales returns, free quantities delivered and trade discounts.

Construction contracts

The Company follows percentage of completion method of accounting in respect of its construction activity. Under this method, the profit on unit sold is recognised on the basis of percentage of work completed which is determined on technical estimations.

Commission

When the Company acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognised is the net amount of commission earned by the Company.

Rental income

Rental income from investment property is recognised as part of revenue from operations in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease except where the rentals are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease. Rental income from sub-leasing is also recognised in a similar manner and included under other income.

Interest income

Interest income on financial assets (including deposits with banks) is recognised as it accrues in Statement of Profit and Loss, using the effective interest rate (EIR) method (i.e. time proportionate basis) which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Government grants

An unconditional government grant related to a biological asset that is measured at fair value less cost to sell is recognised in profit or loss as other income when the grant becomes receivable. Other government grants are recognised initially as deferred income at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions associated with the grant, they are recognised in profit or loss as other operating revenue on a systematic basis. Grants that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other operating revenue on systematic basis in which such expenses are recognised.

Other operating income

Other operating income is recognised on accrual basis (i.e. time proportionate basis) in the accounting period in which services are rendered and in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

h) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-infirst-out formula, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition.

Cost incurred in bringing each product to its present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:

Raw materials: Purchase cost on first-in-first out basis
Finished goods and work in progress: Cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs
Inventory on construction activities: Valued at cost incurred

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Raw materials, components and other supplies held for use in production of finished goods are not written down below cost except in cases where material prices have declined and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.

Obsolete, slow moving, defective inventories, shortage/ excess are identified at the time of physical verification of inventories and wherever necessary provision/ adjustment is made for such inventories.

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

i) Income taxes

Income tax expenses comprises of current tax and deferred tax. It is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, by the reporting date.

Current income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity). The management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

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

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Minimum Alternate Tax (‘MAT’) credit entitlement under the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is recognised as a deferred tax asset when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, will flow to the Company and the asset can be measured reliably. MAT credit entitlement is set off to the extent allowed in the year in which the Company becomes liable to pay income taxes at the enacted tax rates. MAT credit entitlement is reviewed at each reporting date and is recognised to the extent that is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. MAT credit entitlement has been presented as deferred tax asset in the Balance sheet. Significant management judgement is required to determine the probability of recognition of MAT credit entitlement.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

j) Dividend payments

Final dividend is recognized, when it is approved by the shareholders and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. However, interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors.

k) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost also includes exchange differences to the extent regarded as an adjustment to the borrowing costs.

l) Retirement and other employee benefits

Short term employee benefits are measured on undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid, if the Company has a present legal or

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the amount of obligation can be estimated reliably.

The Company post-employment benefits include defined benefit plan and defined contribution plans.

Contribution payable by the Company to the central government authorities in respect of provident fund, pension fund and employee state insurance are defined plans. A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions to a statutory authority and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. The Company contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized in Statement of Profit & Loss when the related services are rendered. The Company has no further obligations under these plans beyond its periodic contributions.

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. Under the defined benefit retirement plan, the Company provides retirement obligation in the form of Gratuity. Under the plan, a lump sum payment is made to eligible employees at retirement or termination of employment based on respective employee salary and years of experience with the Company.

The cost of providing benefits under this plan is determined on the basis of actuarial valuation carried out as at the reporting date by an independent qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full in the period in which they occur in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The obligation towards the said benefit is recognised in the balance sheet as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the present value of the plan liabilities. Scheme liabilities are calculated using the projected unit credit method and applying the principal actuarial assumptions as at the date of Balance Sheet. Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance policies. Gratuity is covered under the Gratuity policy respectively, of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).

All expenses excluding re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), in respect of defined benefit plans are recognized in the profit or loss as incurred. Re-measurements, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on the plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)),are recognized immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit through other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

m) Provisions

i) General

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

When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss, net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time (i.e. unwinding of discount) is recognised as a finance cost.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

ii) Contingent assets/ liabilities

Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, and is recognised as an asset.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed in notes to accounts when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

n) Earnings per share (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential equity shares (such as preferential shares, ESOP, share warrants, share application money, etc.) into equity shares.

o) Fair value measurement

The Company measures financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

In the principal market for the asset or liability
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

I. Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
II. Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as ……………….prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
III. Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data(unobservable inputs)

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

This note summarises accounting policy for fair value measurement. Other fair value related disclosures are given in the relevant notes.

p) Foreign currency

Functional and presentation currency

The Company’s financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is also the Company’s functional currency. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates and is normally the currency in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. All the financial information is presented in INR, except where otherwise stated.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in Statement of Profit or Loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18

currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fairvalue is determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).

Foreign exchange gains/ (losses) arising on translation of foreign currency monetary loans are presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss on net basis.

q) Corporate social responsibility expenditure

Pursuant to the requirements of section 135 of the Act and rules thereon and guidance notion “Accounting for expenditure on Corporate Social Responsibility activities” issued by ICAI, with effect from 1 April 2015, CSR expenditure is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which it is incurred.

r) Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenue and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to their chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Board of Directors who makes strategic decisions and is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

4. Recent accounting pronouncement issued but not yet effective upto the date of issuance of financial statements

a) Amendment to Ind AS 21:

Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration: On March 28, 2018, MCA has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind-AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. This amendment will come into force from April 1, 2018. The Company has evaluated the effect of this on the financial statements and the impact is not material.

b) Introduction to Ind AS 115:

Ind-AS 115- Revenue from Contracts with Customers: On 28 March 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") has notified the Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Under Ind AS 115, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

Moreover, the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. The standard permits two possible methods of transition:

Retrospective approach-Under this approach the standard will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8-Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application (Cumulative catch - up approach). The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 115 is financial periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018.

The Company will adopt the standard on 1 April 2018 by using the cumulative catch-up transition method and accordingly comparatives for the year ending or ended 31st March 2018 will not be retrospectively adjusted.

While, the Company is in the process of implementing Ind AS 115 on financial statement, it is of the view that the accounting policy for certain streams of revenue and related expenses may undergo a change primarily on account of estimating and recognizing extended warranty and unspecified free upgrades in certain contracts, adjusting cost of acquisition of customer, etc.

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

a) The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables and liabilities approximate their fair values mainly due to short-term maturities of these instruments.
b) The fair value of investment in shares, which are acquired during the year itself only, is assessed by the management to be same as carrying value and is not expected to be significantly different.
c) The fair value of other financial assets and other financial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates applicable to instruments with similar terms, currency, credit risk and remaining maturities. The fair values of other financial assets and other financial liabilities are assessed by the management to be same as their carrying value and is not expected to be significantly different if estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. These are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs.
d) The Company’s borrowings have been contracted at floating rate of interest, which resets at short intervals. Accordingly, the carrying value of such borrowings (including interest accrued but not due) approximates fair value.
There are no significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement.

Fair value hierarchy

All financial instrument for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole;

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3: Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

The following table presents the financial instruments measured at fair value, by level within the fair value measurement hierarchy:

Operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in the business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components, and for which discrete financial information is available. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.

The Company has determined following reportable segments, which are the Company’s strategic business units. These business units offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the business units, the Company’s CEO reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis.

a) Chemical division

i. Manufacturing division
ii. Trading division

b) Real Estate division

Information about reportable segments

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit (before tax), as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Company’s CEO. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.

41.1 Proposed dividend

Under Indian GAAP, proposed dividends including Dividend distribution tax (DDT) are recognised as a liability in the period to which they relate, irrespective of when they are declared.

Under Ind AS, a proposed dividend is recognised as a liability in the period in which it is declared by the Company (usually when approved by shareholders in a general meeting) or paid.

The final dividend are declared and approved post the period to which it relates to, therefore, the liability of 15,299,890 for the year ended on 31[st] March, 2016 recorded for dividend including dividend distribution tax has been derecognised against retained earnings on 1 April 2016. The proposed dividend for the year ended on 31[st] March, 2017 of ` 16,923,411 recognized under Indian GAAP was reduced from Short term provisions and with a corresponding impact in the retained earnings.

41.2 Defined benefit plan on retirement benefits

Both under Indian GAAP and Ind AS, the Company recognised costs related to its post-employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under Indian GAAP, the entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to profit or loss. Under Ind AS, re-measurements (comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI. Thus the employee benefit cost is impacted by ` 1,299,822 and re-measurement gains/ losses on defined benefit plans has been recognized in the other comprehensive income (net of tax) for the year ended 31st March 2017.

41.3 Financial Assets at Amortised cost

This category generally applies to trade and other receivables, security deposits, interest accrued on deposits, etc. Under Indian GAAP these kind of financial assets are stated at transaction value.

Under Ind AS, financial assets which are non-derivative with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and recognised initially at fair value. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit or loss.

Such financial assets are classified at Amortised cost which needs to be initially recognised at Fair value under Ind AS. The corresponding fair value impact on 1 April 2016 resulting is not considered to be material, for any adjustment.

Vikas Ecotech Annual Report 2017-18 127

41.4 Financial Liabilities at Amortised cost

This category applies to Trade payables, security deposits received, etc. Under Indian GAAP, these kind of financial liabilities are stated at transaction value.

Under Ind AS Financial liabilities at amortised cost are non-derivative financial liabilities with fixed or determinable payment that are not quoted in an active market and recognised initially at fair value. After initial measurement, such liability are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR amortisation is included in finance cost in the Statement of Profit or Loss.

Such financial assets are classified at Amortised cost which needs to be initially recognised at Fair value under Ind AS. The corresponding fair value impact on 1 April2016 is not considered to be material, for any adjustment.

41.5 Other comprehensive income

Under Indian GAAP, the Company has not presented other comprehensive income (OCI) separately. Hence, it has reconciled Indian GAAP profit or loss to profit or loss as per Ind AS. Further, Indian GAAP profit or loss is reconciled to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.

42. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade payables etc. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to manage finances for the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, etc. that derive directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk (interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. The senior professionals working to manage the financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance frame work for the Company are accountable to the Board Audit Committee. This process provides assurance to the Company’s senior management that the Company’s financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company’s policies and Company’s risk appetite. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below:

Market Risk – Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates related primarily to the Company’s borrowings with floating interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risks

The Company’s interest rate risk arises majorly from the borrowings carrying floating rate of interest. These obligations exposes the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The exposure of the Company’s borrowing to interest rate changes as reported to the management at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits is generally limited as the Company transacts with Banks having a high credit ratings assigned by domestic credit rating agencies.

Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. On adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment gain or loss. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available internal credit risk factors such as the Company’s historical experience of customers. Based on the business environment in which the Company operates, management considers that the trade receivables are not in default (credit impaired) as there is very good track record against sales realisations and further there is Zero bad debts in past, hence the Company based upon past trends determined no default risk for trade receivables and accordingly no impairment allowance for loss on trade receivables is required.

The ageing analysis of trade receivables as of the reporting date is as follows:

Currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its borrowings, receivables and other payables in foreign currency. The functional currency of the company is Indian Rupee.

The foreign currency exchange management policy is to minimize economic and transactional exposures arising from currency movements against the US dollar & Euro. The Company manages the risk by netting off naturally‐occurring opposite exposures wherever possible, and then dealing with any material residual foreign currency exchange risks if any.

Exposure to currency risk

The currency profile of financial assets and financial liabilities as at 31st March 2018, 31st March 2017 and 1 April 2016 are as below:

Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against US dollar & Euro at reporting date would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

USD & EURO	(788,172)	788,172

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. The Company’s objective is to, at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Company principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow generated from operations. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system.

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:-
