116 - Leases, relating to sale and lease back transactions, applicable from April 1, 2024:

of these amendments on its financial statements.

NOTE 2 : KEY ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management
to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the year in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected.

Key source of estimation of uncertainty as at the date of financial statements, which may cause a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of the
following:

(i) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits) -

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined
using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from
actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases
and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit
obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting
date.

(ii) Useful life of property, _ plant and equipment and intangible assets:

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the
end of each reporting period.

(iii) Estimation of current tax expense and payable:

income taxes and tax credits including the amount expected to be paid or refunded.

2025, the Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties (31^st

NOTE 1 : KEY ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimates are revised and future periods are affected.

Key source of estimation of uncertainty as at the date of financial statements, which may cause a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, is in respect of the following:

a) Defined benefit plans (gratuity benefits):

The cost of the defined benefit gratuity plan and the present value of the gratuity obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

b) Useful life of Property, Plant and Equipments:

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment and intangible assets at the end of each reporting period. During the current year, there has been no change in useful life considered for the assets.

c) Impairment of financial assets:

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

d) Estimation of current tax expense and payable:

The Company’s tax jurisdiction is India. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes and tax credits including the amount expected to be paid or refunded.

* Details of dues to micro and small enterprises as defined under the MSMED Act, 2006

The Company has disclosed the amounts due to Micro and Small Enterprises under The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (MSMED Act) as at March 31, 2018, March 31, 2017 and April 01, 2016 based on the information received and available with the Company. In the view of the management, the impact of interest, if any, that may be payable in accordance with the provisions of the said Act is not expected to be material. The Company has not received any claim for interest from any supplier as at the Balance Sheet date.

Company had entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Karnataka Power Transimission Corporation Ltd. (KPTCL) on 30.03.2001 for supply of surplus electricity generated from co-generation power plant.

After complying with requirement of Section 9(2) of the Electricity Act 2003, the Company laid transmission lines to its own Printing & Packaging unit located about 1km away from the co-generation power plant.

In FY 2015-16, CESC has filed a petition before Hon’ble Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC), Bengaluru, alleging breach of PPA and has claimed damages for the period from April 2009 to March 2016 on account of reduction in supply of power to CESC and further seeking direction to the Company for removal of such dedicated transmission lines.

A. Market Risk,

B. Credit Risk, and

C. Liquidity Risk.

The present disclosure made by the Company summarises the exposure to these financial risks.

A. Market Risk:

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of fluctuation in market prices. These comprise three types i.e., Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk, Interest Rate Risk and Other Price Related Risks.

(i) Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk:

The Company imports pulp, waste paper and other stores & spares for which payables are denominated in foreign currency. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on these transactions. The Company evaluates the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations by closely monitoring exchange rate movements and where necessary occasionally enters into simple forward exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk whose maturity is coterminous with the maturity period of the foreign currency liabilities. Thus, the Company is generally not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk:

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates to bank borrowings comprising of term loans and working capital loans.

Interest Rate Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates on Variable Rate Borrowings at the end of the reporting period. Impact on Profit before tax, using a 25 basis point /- fluctuation in the interest rate would be as under.

(iii) Other price risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market traded prices.

Commodity price risk:

The Company is exposed to the movement in price of key raw materials in domestic and international markets. The Company has in place policies to manage exposure to fluctuations in the prices of the key raw materials used in operations. The Company manages fluctuations in raw material price through hedging in the form of advance procurement when the prices are perceived to be low and also enters into advance buying contracts as strategic sourcing initiative in order to keep raw material and prices under check cost of material hedged to the extent possible.

Others:

Company does not have any equity or other investments which are subjected to price related risks.

B. Credit Risk:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations.

(i) Trade Receivables

Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable and thus set the individual risk limits are. The company does not hold any collateral on the balance outstanding. The company has stop supply mechanism in place in case outstanding goes beyond agreed limits.

The Company also sells its products through appointed agents. The Company has established a credit policy under which every agent is analysed individually for creditworthiness. Each agent places security deposit based on the quotas allocated to him. Though the invoices are raised on the individual customer, the agent is responsible for the collection and in case of default by such customer, the dues from the customer are withheld / adjusted against the payables to the agent. Thus, the credit risk is mitigated.

(ii) Financial instruments and cash deposits

The Company’s investment in fixed deposit with banks is fixed and hence, there is no risk on account of price movement arising to the Company. The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. The Company does not maintain significant cash and deposit balances other than those required for its day to day operations.

C. 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 manages the liquidity risk by projecting cash flows considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet the obligations by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities. The liquidity risk management involves matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities.

NOTE 5 : CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

NOTE 8 : FIRST-TIME ADOPTION OF IND AS

Company has prepared the financial statements under Ind AS for the first time for the year ending 31^st March 2018. The date of transition to Ind AS is 01.04.2016.

For periods up to and including the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principle in India (Indian GAAP). Accordingly, the Company has prepared financial statements which comply with Ind AS applicable for period ending on March 31, 2018, together with the comparative period data as at and for the year ended March 31, 2017. For the purpose, the Company prepared the opening balance sheet as of April 1, 2016 (the transition date), as per Ind AS. Company has applied the Standards only to items / transactions which are material.

Exemptions applied

Ind AS 101 allows first time adopters certain exemptions from the retrospective application of certain requirements under Ind AS and accordingly the Company has elected to avail exemption to continue with the carrying value of all of its Property, Plant and Equipment and intangible assets recognised as of April 1, 2016 (transition date) as deemed cost as per the financial statements prepared in accordance with previous Indian GAAP.

Notes to reconciliation between previous GAAP and Ind AS

a) Employee benefits

Under previous GAAP, actuarial gains and losses were recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Under Ind AS, the actuarial gains and losses form part of remeasurement of net defined benefit liability/asset which is recognized in other comprehensive income in the respective periods.

b) Proposed dividend and dividend distribution tax thereon

Under Ind AS, liability for dividend is recognized in the period in which obligation to pay is established. Under previous GAAP, dividend payable is recorded as liability in the period to which the dividend relates, even though the dividend may be approved by the Board of Directors/Shareholders subsequent to the reporting date. This has resulted in an increase in equity of April 01, 2016.

c) Effect of Income tax

Tax adjustments include deferred tax impact on account of differences between Ind AS and Previous GAAP and recognising previously un-recognised MAT. This has resulted in change in equity and profit and loss.

d) Other comprehensive income

Under previous GAAP, the Company had not presented other comprehensive income separately. Hence, it has reconciled previous GAAP profit or loss to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.

e) Statement of cash flows

The transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS did not have a material impact on statement of cash flows.

NOTE 9 : EVENTS AFTER REPORTING PERIOD

The Board of Directors recommended a final dividend of Rs. 1 per equity share for the financial year ended March 31, 2018.
