LEASED ASSET (RIGHT OF USE ASSETS)

a) The Company's lease asset classes primarily consist

of leases for Land and Buildings. The Company

assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at

the inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset

(ii) the Company has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and

(iii) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

b) The right-of-use asset is a lessee's right to use an asset over the life of a lease. The Company recognises a right-of-use asset ('ROU') and a corresponding lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases of shortterm and low value assets, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense over the term of the lease.

c) The right-of-use assets are initially recognised at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made (Deposits and Rentals) at or prior to the commencement date of the lease plus any initial direct costs less any lease incentives. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Right-of-use assets are depreciated from the commencement date on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the

6. Lease Property

The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Company to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Company revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.

7. Lease Liabilities

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

determinable, using the incremental borrowing rate. Lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

A lease liability is remeasured upon the occurrence of certain events such as a change in the lease term or a change in an index or rate used to determine lease payments. The remeasurement also adjusts the related leased assets.

8. Intangible Assets

a) Intangible assets acquired by payment e.g., Goodwill , Trademark and Computer Software are disclosed at cost less amortization on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.

b) Intangible assets are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization and impairment loss, if any.

c) On transition to Ind AS, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its intangible assets as at 1^st April 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as the deemed cost of the intangible assets

d) Intangible assets are amortised on straight-line method as follows :

Goodwill - 20 years Computer Software - 3 years Trademark- 10 years

9. Investment Property

Investment Property are stated at original cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses except freehold land which is carried at cost. Cost includes cost of acquisition, construction and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition, trial run expenses (net of revenue) and pre-operative expenses including attributable borrowing costs incurred during preoperational period.

Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal.

10. Impairment of Assets

At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment to determine whether there is any indication of impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. The recoverable amount is higher of the net selling price and the value in use, determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows expected from the continuing use of the asset to their present value.

11. Inventories

a) Inventories related to raw materials, packing materials, stores & spares are valued at cost on weighted average basis or net realizable value whichever is lower.

b) Waste & scraps are valued at estimated realizable value.

c) Materials in transit and Semi Finished goods are valued at cost or market value which ever is lower.

d) Finished goods and process stock include all cost of purchases, cost of conversion and other related costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

e) Finished goods are valued at cost or net realizable value whichever is lower. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

f) Obsolete, defective and unserviceable stocks are duly provided for.

12. Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows statement are reported using "Indirect method" as set out in the Ind AS 7 on 'Statement of Cash Flow', whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flow from regular revenue generating, financing and investing activities of the Company is segregated.

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank, cash/cheques in hand and short term investments (excluding pledged term deposits) with an original maturity of less than twelve months.

13. 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.

A. Financial Assets

(i) Initial Recognition and Measurement

The Company classifies its financial assets as those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss) and those to be measured at amortized cost.

(ii) Subsequent Measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories:

(a) Debt instruments measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and losses arising from impairment are recognized in Profit and Loss if both the following conditions are met:

• The asset is held within a business model

whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and • 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.

(b) Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

(c) Equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

(d) Equity Instruments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, in accordance with option available in Ind AS 27 "Separate Financial Statements".

(iii) De-Recognition

A financial asset is de-recognized only when the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset, or when it has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or when it has transferred the control of the asset.

(iv) 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 Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 11 and Ind AS 18.

The Company follows'simplified approach'for recognition of impairment loss allowance on 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 ECL at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

As a practical expedient, the Company uses historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables.

B. Financial Liabilities:

i) Classification as debt or equity - Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

ii) Equity instruments - An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

iii) Initial Recognition and Measurement:

All Financials Liabilities are recognized net of transaction costs incurred.

iv) 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 through the EIR amortisation process.

v) De-Recognition

All Financials Liabilities are removed from balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired.

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 and loss.

14. Revenue Recognition:

Revenue comprises of all economic benefits that arise in the ordinary course of activities of the Company which result in increase in Equity, other than increases relating to contributions from equity participants. 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.

Sale of Goods: As per Ind AS 115 'Revenue from contracts with customers, Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when control of the products being sold is transferred to the customer and when there are no longer any unfulfilled obligations. The Performance Obligations in our contracts are fulfilled at the time of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptance depending on terms with customers. The Company derives revenue principally from sale of Plywood, Laminates, Decorative Veneers, MDF and Flush Doors. Revenue shown in the Statement of Profit and Loss are inclusive of the value of self-consumption, but excludes Goods & Service Tax (GST), inter-transfers, returns, trade discounts, other benefits passed to customers in kind.

Services: Revenue from Services is recognized as and when the services are rendered. The Company collects Goods & Service Tax on behalf of the government and therefore, it is not an economic benefit flowing to the Company and hence excluded from Revenue.

Interest: Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

Insurance Claims: Insurance Claims are accounted for on acceptance and when there is a reasonable certainty of receiving the same, on grounds of prudence.

Corporate Guarantee Fee: Corporate Guarantee Fee is accounted for corporate Guarantee given to related party's Banker for their business use. Such revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered in accordance with agreement with the parties.

15. Government grants

Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

When the Company receives grants of non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at fair value amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life in a pattern of consumption of the benefit of the underlying asset i.e. by equal annual installments.

16. Foreign Currency Transactions:

The Company's financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees ('INR'), which is also the Company's functional currency.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency, using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing exchange rate. Exchange differences that arise on settlement of monetary items or on reporting at each balance sheet date of the Company's monetary items at the closing rate are recognised as income or expenses in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value is determined.

17. Employee Benefits:

Short-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year in which the related service is rendered.

Post Employment and Retirement benefits in the form of Gratuity and Leave Encashment are considered as defined benefit obligations and is provided for on the basis of third party actuarial valuation, using the projected

unit credit method, as at the date of the Balance Sheet. Every Employee who has completed five years or more of service is entitled to Gratuity on terms not less favorable than the provisions of The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation

Re-measurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in acturial assumptions of the defined benefit obligation are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet.

Employee benefits in the form of Provident Fund is considered as defined contribution plan and the contributions to Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation established under The Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952 is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss of the year when the contributions to the respective funds are due. The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations.

The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid.

18. Borrowing Costs:

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs (including exchange differences relating to foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. A qualifying asset is one that takes necessarily substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use.

All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

19. Accounting for Taxes on Income:

Tax expenses comprise of current tax and deferred tax including applicable surcharge and cess.

Current Income tax is computed using the tax effect accounting method, where taxes are accrued in the same period in which the related revenue and expenses arise. A provision is made for income tax annually, based on the tax liability computed, after considering tax allowances and exemptions. Provisions are recorded when it is estimated that a liability due to disallowances or other matters is probable.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet approach on temporary differences at the reporting date 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, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred tax is recognised in the statement of profit and loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income. As such, deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income.

Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities relate to taxes on income levied by same governing taxation laws.

20. Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets:

Contingent liabilities are not provided for but are disclosed by way of Notes on Accounts. Contingent liabilities is disclosed in case of a present obligation from past events

(a) when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;

(b) when no reliable estimate is possible;

(c) unless the probability of outflow of

resources is remote.

Contingent assets are neither accounted for nor disclosed by way of Notes on Accounts where the inflow of economic benefits is probable.

21. Current And Non- Current Classification:

The Normal Operating Cycle for the Company has been assumed to be of twelve months for classification of its various assets and liabilities into "Current" and "NonCurrent".

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

An asset is current when it is

(a) expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle

(b) held primarily for the purpose of trading

(c) expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period

(d) Cash and cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
