Notes to Accounts of Sundaram Multi Pap Ltd.

Mar 31, 2024

XIV Provisions

The Company creates a provision when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of 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.

A disclosure for contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not result in outflow of resources.

When there is a possible obligation or present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

XV Cash and cash equivalent

Cash and cash equivalent 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.

For the purpose of statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalent consists of cash and short term deposits, as defined above, as they are considered an integral part of the Company''s cash management

XVI Financial Derivatives Hedging Transaction:

In respect of derivatives contract, premium paid, provision for losses on restatement and gains/losses on settlement are recognized in statement of Profit and Loss. The company uses Foreign Currency Hedges to manage its risks associated with Foreign Currencies Fluctuation relating to Export receivable. The company does not use Hedges for speculative purpose.

XVII Financial Instruments

(i) Financial asset

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in case of financial asset not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction cost that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets measured at fair value or as financial asset measured at amortised cost.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified into two broad categories :

• Financial asset at fair value

• Financial asset at amortised cost

Where assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognised entirely in the statement of profit or loss (i.e. fair value through profit or loss), or recognised in other comprehensive income (i.e. fair value through other comprehensive income)

A financial asset that meet the following two conditions is measured at amortised cost (net of any write down for impairment) unless the asset is designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option.

• Business model test : the objective of the Company''s model is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows (rather than to sell the instrument prior to its contractual maturity to realise its fair value changes)

• Cash flow characteristics test : The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset that meet the following two conditions is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income unless the asset is designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option.

• Business model test : the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets

• Cash flow characteristics test : The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Even if an instrument meets the two requirements to be measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, a financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as an ''accounting mismatch’) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains or losses on them on different basis.

All other financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised when:

• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

• The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the 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.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial asset

The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model to the following

• Financial asset measured at amortised cost

• Financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

• 12 months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or

• Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument)

The Company follows ''simplified approach'' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade

receivable.

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.

The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on the portfolio of trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates, if any. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forwardlooking estimates are analysed.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value 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, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.

Loans and borrowings - subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the Effective Interest Rate (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 Effective Interest Rate (EIR). The Effective Interest Rate (EIR) amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition

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 derecognition 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 or loss."

XVIII Cash Flow Statement:

Cash flows are reported using indirect method, whereby profit/(loss) before extraordinary item and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future, cash receipts or payments. The cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities of the company are segregated based on the available information.

2 Significant Accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of 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.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the

financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

I Defined Benefit plans - Gratuity Benefit

The cost of defined benefit plans and other post employment benefits and the present value of such obligations 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, mortality rates and attrition rate. 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

The estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for the current and the comparative periods are as follows :

III Fair valuation of financial instruments

When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation technique including the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include consideration of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

Other Statutory Information

i) The Company does not have any Benami property, where any proceeding has been Initiated or pending against the Company for holding any Benami property.

ii) The Company does not have any transactions with companies struck off

iii) The Company does not has any charges or satisfaction which is yet to be registered with ROC beyond the statutory period.

iv) The Company has not traded or invested in Crypto currency or Virtual Currency during the financial year

v) The Company has not advanced or extended loan or invested funds to any other persons or entity, including foreign entities or Intermediaries with the understanding that the Intermediary shall

(a) Directly or indirectly lend or invest in other persons or entitles identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf ofthe company (Ultimate Beneficiaries) or (b) Provide any guarantee, security or the like to or on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries.

vi) The Company has not received any fund from any person or entity. Including foreign entities (Funding Party) with

the understanding (whether recorded in writing or otherwise) that the Company shall:

(a) Directly or indirectly lend or invest in other persons or entities identified In any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the Funding Party (Ultimate Beneficiaries) or

(b) Provide any guarantee, security or the like un behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries.

vii) The Company has not any such transaction which is not recorded in the books of accounts that has been surrendered or disclosed as income during the year in the tax assessments under the Income Tax Act, 1961 such as, search or survey or any other relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1941

viii) The company has obtained the declaration from Directors stating therein that the amount so advanced to the company has not been given out of the funds borrowed/acquired from others by them.

ix) The company has not received information from vendor and service provider regarding their status under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 and hence, disclosures relating to amounts unpaid as at the year end together with interest paid/payable under this Act have not been given.

27 Financial Risk Management

The Company''s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cashflows that may result from a change in the price of financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivable and payables and loans and borrowings.

If the risk exposure is significant then senior management reviews the position and takes decision regarding hedging / other risk strategies to mitigate such risk exposures.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rate.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk as there is no overseas transaction during the reporting period.

Thus,the Company did not have any outstanding dues as on 31st March, 2024 Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the posibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial conditions, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occuring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:

(i) Actual or expected significant adverse change in business

(ii) Actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the counterparty

(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty’s ability to meet its obligation.

(iv) Significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty

28 Capital Management

For the purposes of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves. The primary objective of the Company’s Capital Management is to maximise shareholder value. The company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic environment and the requirements of the financial statements

31 Commitments

Non Cancellable Operating Leases:

(i) The Company''s lease asset primarily consist of leases for land and buildings for branch offices and warehouses having the various lease terms. Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases" and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Consequently, the Company recorded the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate as on the date of transition and has measured right of use asset at an amount equal to lease liability adjusted for any related prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognised.

(ii) Following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:

(a) Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a similar end date

(b) Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application

(c) Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application

(d) Applied the practical expedient by not reassessing whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. Instead applied the standards only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17.

(e) Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend or terminate the lease

(iii) Following is carrying value of right of use assets recognised on date of transition and the movements thereof during the year ended March 31, 2023

38 Previous year figures have been re-grouped/re-classified wherever considered necessary to make comparable with current year figures.

For the purpose of statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalent consists of cash and short term deposits, as defined above, as they are considered an integral part of the Company''s cash management"

XVI Financial Derivatives Hedging Transaction:

In respect of derivatives contract, premium paid, provision for losses on restatement and gains/losses on settlement are recognized in statement of Profit and Loss.

XVII Financial Instruments

(i) Financial asset

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in case of financial asset not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction cost that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets measured at fair value or as financial asset measured at amortised cost.

Subsequent measurement For purposes of subsequent measurement financial assets are classified into two broad categories :

• Financial asset at fair value

• Financial asset at amortised cost

Where assets are measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recognised entirely in the statement of profit or loss (i.e. fair value through profit or loss), or recognised in other comprehensive income (i.e. fair value through other comprehensive income)

A financial asset that meet the following two conditions is measured at amortised cost (net of any write down for impairment) unless the asset is designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option.

Business model test : the objective of the Company''s model is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows (rather than to sell the instrument prior to its contractual maturity to realise its fair value changes)

Cash flow characteristics test : The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset that meet the following two conditions is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income unless the asset is designated at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option.

Business model test : the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets

Cash flow characteristics test : The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Even if an instrument meets the two requirements to be measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, a financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency

(sometimes referred to as an ''accounting mismatch’) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains or losses on them on different basis.

All other financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised when:

• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or

• The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the 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.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company''s continuing involvement. In that case, the company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial asset

The Company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model to the following :

• Financial asset measured at amortised cost

• Financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

Expected credit losses are measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

• 12 months expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date); or

• Full lifetime expected credit losses (expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument)

Derecognition

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 derecognition 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 or loss.

27 Financial Risk Management

The Company''s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cashflows that may result from a change in the price of financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivable and payables and loans and borrowings.

If the risk exposure is significant then senior management reviews the position and takes decision regarding hedging / other risk strategies to mitigate such risk exposures.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rate.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is not exposed to foreign exchange risk as there is no overseas transaction during the reporting period.

Thus,the Company did not have any outstanding dues as on 31st March, 2023 Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the posibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial conditions, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occuring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:

(i) Actual or expected significant adverse change in business

(ii) Actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the counterparty

(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty’s ability to meet its obligation.

(iv) Significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty"

31 Commitments

Non Cancellable Operating Leases:

(i) The Company''s lease asset primarily consist of leases for land and buildings for branch offices and warehouses having the various lease terms.

Consequently, the Company recorded the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate as on the date of transition and has measured right of use asset at an amount equal to lease liability adjusted for any related prepaid and accrued lease payments previously recognised.

(ii) Following is the summary of practical expedients elected on initial application:

(a) Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases of similar assets in similar economic environment with a similar end date

(b) Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term on the date of initial application

(c) Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application

(d) Applied the practical expedient by not reassessing whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. Instead applied the standards only to contracts that were previously identified as leases under Ind AS 17.

(e) Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend or terminate the lease

1. Financial Risk Management

The Company''s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivable and payables and loans and borrowings.

If the risk exposure is significant then management reviews the position and takes decision regarding hedging / other risk strategies to mitigate such risk exposures.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rate.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. These exposures are unhedged.

However, the Company did not have any outstanding dues as on 31st March, 2018 Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial conditions, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

The company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occuring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:

(i) Actual or expected significant adverse change in business

(ii) Actual or expected significant change in the operating results of the counterparty

(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty’s ability to meet its obligation.

A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 30-60 days of when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other macro-economic factors.

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company may engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure

There are no specific forward looking information estimated by the management.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at a reasonable price. The Company''s treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Manage men t monitors the company''s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

2. Capital Management

For the purposes of the Company''s capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves. The primary objective of the Company''s Capital Management is to maximize shareholder value. The company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in the light of changes in economic environment and the requirements of the financial statements

The company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is total de bt divided by total capital plus d ebt.

Notes to first time adoption

1 Fair valuation as deemed cost for Intangible Assets:

The Company has considered net block as on 01-Apr-2016 as the fair value for intangible assets, except brand of Rs. 100.28 lakhs, in accordance with stipulations of Ind AS 101 with the resultant impact being accounted for in the reserves. The Company has written off brand since it is not probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity.

2 Fair valuation for Financial Assets:

The Company has valued financial assets (other than Investment in subsidiary which is accounted at cost), at fair value. Impact of fair value changes as on the date of transition, is recognized in opening reserves and changes thereafter are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss or Other Comprehensive Income, as the case may be.

3 ECL Model

Under Ind AS, impairment allowance has been determined based on ECL model. Due to this model, the company impaired its trade receivable by Rs.414.86 lakhs as on the date of transition which is recognized in retained earnings. The impairment of Rs. 414.86 lacs for the year ended 31st March, 2017 is recognized in profit or loss.

4 Loan from SICOM (Nagpur)

As per Ind AS 8, an entity shall correct material prior period errors retrospectively in the first set of financial statements approved for issue after their discovery by:

(a) restating the comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error occurred; or

(b) if the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented.

Under Indian GAAP, prior period error relating to payable to SICOM was accounted in borrowing for the year ended 31-Mar-16 of INR 20.64 lakhs. This is adjusted in the opening balance sheet as it related to earlier years resulting in increase in retained earnings and reduction in Borrowings of Rs. 20.64 lakhs on the date of transition.

5 Deferred Tax:

The impact of transition adjustments together with Ind AS mandate of using balance sheet approach (against profit and loss approach in the previous GAAP) for computation of deferred taxes has resulted in charge to the Reserves, on the date of transition, with consequential impact to the Statement of Profit and Loss for the subsequent periods.

6 Prior Period Error

"As per Ind AS 8, an entity shall correct material prior period errors retrospectively in the first set of financial statements approved for issue after their discovery by:

(a) restating the comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error occurred; or

(b) if the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented.

Under Indian GAAP, prior period error relating to expenses were recognized in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 2016 of Rs. 9.17 lakhs. This is adjusted in the opening balance sheet as it related to earlier years resulting in reduction in retained earnings and increase in Trade Payables of Rs. 9.17 lakhs on the date of transition.

7 Change in accounting policy for recognition of costs relating to Post Employment Benefit Plan:

Both under Indian GAAP and Ind AS, the company recognized costs related to its post-employment defined benefit plan on actuarial basis. Under Indian GAAP, the entire cost, including actuarial gain and loss, are charged to profit or loss. Under Ind AS, measurements (comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effects of asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on the plan assets excluding the amount included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognized in balance sheet through other comprehensive income. Thus, employee benefits expense is reduced by Rs. 16.86 lacs and is recognized in other comprehensive income during the year ended 31 March 2017.

40 Previous year figures have been re-grouped/re-classified wherever considered necessary to compare with current year figures.
