a. Property that is held for long- term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent costs are added to the carrying amount only when it is probable that it will increase its useful life. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the year in which they are incurred. Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of the investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair value is determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer applying a recognized and recommended valuation model.

b. Depreciation on investment property, is provided on a pro-rata basis on a written down value basis, over the useful life of the property estimated by management, in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of the Act. The property’s residual value, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and necessary adjustments are made accordingly, wherever required. The useful lives in the following cases are different from those prescribed in Schedule II of the Act:

Based on usage pattern, technical evaluation and internal assessment, management believes the useful lives, as given above best represent the period over which the management expects to use the properties. Hence, the useful lives of these properties is different from the lives as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

c. The leasehold land has been amortised during the year by H 0.01 Crores (March 31, 2024: H 0.01 Crores) as per the accounting policy in terms of the Ind AS-40 on ''Investment Property''.

d. Investment property is derecognized when either it has been disposed off or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the investment property is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Transfers are made to/from investment property only when there is a change in its use. Transfers between investment property is made at the carrying amount of the property transferred. On transition to Ind AS, since there is no change in the functional currency, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value for all of its investment property as recognized in its Indian GAAP financial statements as deemed cost at the transition date, viz., April 01, 2016.

f. The Company has obtained independent valuation for its investment properties at H 17.28 Crores as on March 31, 2025 and H 18.25 Crores as on March 31, 2024 (included one investment property located at Silvassa, which was sold during the previous year). These valuations are based on valuations performed by K.S. Agrawal Associates, an accredited independent valuer. K.S.Agrawal Associates is a specialist in valuing these types of investment properties and reviewed the fair valuation based on best evidence of fair value determined using replacement cost of an asset of equivalent utility, depreciation and obsolescence. Fair market value is the amount expressed in terms of money that may reasonably be expected to be exchanged between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity or both. The valuation by the valuer assumes that Company shall continue to operate and run the assets to have economic utility. The fair value is on ‘as is where is'' basis.

g. There are no contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment property or for repairs, maintenance and enhancements thereof and there are no restrictions on remittance of income and proceeds of disposal.

h. The investment properties which are leasehold properties, realisability of the same is subject to the terms and conditions under the respective lease agreements.

a. No trade receivables are due from directors or other officers of the Company either severally or jointly with any other person.

b. Trade receivables are usually non-interest bearing and are on trade terms of 0 - 60 days.

c. For trade receivables, the Company has applied the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables on individual customer basis and not at portfolio level.

e. During year ended March 31, 2024, The carrying amounts of the trade receivables include receivables which are subject to a factoring arrangement. Under this arrangement, the company had transferred the relevant receivables to the factor in exchange for cash and is prevented from selling or pledging the receivables. However, the company has retained late payment and credit risk. The company therefore continued to recognise the transferred assets in their entirety in its balance sheet. The amount repayable under the factoring agreement was presented as secured borrowing. The company considers that the held to collect business model remains appropriate for these receivables and hence continues measuring them at amortised cost. However, such factoring agreements was discontinued and repaid during the year ended March 31, 2025.

Presenting Cash flows

Management considers that in substance the factor collects the amounts receivable on the entity''s behalf and retains the cash in settlement of the separate financing transaction. The company therefore presents the cash inflows received from the bank as financing cash inflows and the subsequent payments by the debtor as both operating cash inflows and financing cash outflows.

f. Refer note no. 50 for information about credit and market risk of trade receivables.

g. Realization from trade receivables held by Company are subject to hypothecation by bankers towards working capital limits obtained by the Company.

h. There are no unbilled receivables, hence the same is not disclosed in the ageing schedules.

i. Below is the ageing analysis of trade receivables :

(a) In certain cases, the Company provides its customers right to return the goods within a specified period. The Company uses the expected value method to estimate the goods that will not be returned because this method best predicts the amount of variable consideration to which the Company will be entitled. The requirements in Ind AS 115 on constraining estimates of variable consideration are also applied in order to determine the amount of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price. For goods that are expected to be returned, the Company recognises Liability for expected sales return, a receivables on expected sales return (and corresponding adjustment to change in inventory is also recognised for the receivables on expected sales return from a customer).

The Company has implemented a supplier financing program available to certain key suppliers. Participation in this program is voluntary for suppliers. Suppliers opting into this arrangement are eligible to receive early payment for invoices issued to the Company through a third party financial institution.

To authorise early payments, the company must verify that the goods or services have been received and that the related invoices have been received. The financial institution processes any early payments before the original invoice due date. Regardless of early payment, the Company settles the full invoice amount directly with the financial institution based on the original payment terms. This arrangement does not alter the existing payment terms with suppliers and the Company does not provide any collateral or guarantees to the financial institution. The trade payables subject to the supplier financing program described above are included in trade payables in the standalone balance sheet:

a) Guarantee Commission

The Company earns guarantee commission on the guarantee given to Bank for the credit facility availed by its foreign subsidiaries.

b) Rental income

Rental income from operating leases where the Company is a lessor is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless the receipts are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation to compensate for the expected inflationary cost increases. The respective leased assets are included in the balance sheet based on their nature. It Includes rental income of H 1.96 Crores (March 31,2024: H 1.96 Crores) from Investment property (refer note no. 5).

When these investments are sold, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in statement of profit or loss and recognised in Other Income Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

d) Fair valuation adjustments of Investments

Fair value through profit and loss of Investments represent fair valuation changes in mutual funds & MLD which includes dividend declared and not distributed (distributed based on record dates) as at reporting dates which have not been recognised in financial statements.

e) Foreign Currency Transactions

On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Gains/Losses arising out of fluctuation in foreign exchange rate between the transaction date and settlement date are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date and the exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and 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 currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value 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).

a) Provision for Warranty

Warranty provision is determined based on the historical percentage of warranty expense to sales for the same types of goods depending upon the warranty period offered. The percentage to the sales is applied to derive the warranty expense to be accrued. Actual warranty claims are settled against warranty provision. The warranty claims may not exactly match the historical warranty percentage, so such estimates are reviewed annually for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence. Closing warranty provision is bifurcated into Current and Non-current based on the past settlement trend with the non-current portion being discounted to derive the present value. The assumptions are consistent with prior years.

B. Post employment benefits Defined benefit plans

Gratuity

The employees’ gratuity fund scheme, which is a defined benefit plan, is managed by a trust with effect from 2019 and is being maintained by SFL Employees gratuity trust. Under the gratuity plan, every employee who has completed at least five years of service gets a gratuity on departure on 15 days of last drawn salary for each completed year of service. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

This plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, which requires that each employee who has completed 5 years of service shall be entitled to gratuity which is equal to salary of 15 days for each completed year of service.

i. The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

ii. Information given for retirement age is based on India’s standard mortality table with modification to reflect expected changes in mortality/ others.

Quantitative sensitivity analysis for significant assumptions as at March 31, 2025 is shown below:

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting year, while holding all other assumptions constant.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting year, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the Balance sheet.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, Other Comprehensive Income and the funded status and amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet for the gratuity plan. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost are measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date.

Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

a. Asset volatility:

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. Most of the plan asset investments are in fixed income securities with high grades and in government securities. These are subject to interest rate risk. A portion of the funds are invested in equity securities. The Company has a risk management strategy where the aggregate amount of risk exposure on a portfolio level is maintained at a fixed range. Any deviations from the range are corrected by rebalancing the portfolio. The Company intends to maintain the above investment mix in the continuing years.

b. Changes in discount rate:

A decrease in discount rate will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans’ assets holdings.

c. Inflation risks

Gratuity payments are not linked to inflation, so this is a less material risk.

The Company ensures that the investment positions are managed within an asset-liability matching (ALM) framework that has been developed to achieve long-term investments that are in line with the obligations under the employee benefit plans. Within this framework, the Company’s ALM objective is to match assets to the pension obligations by investing in long-term fixed interest securities with maturities that match the benefit payments as they fall due and in the appropriate currency.

The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. The Company uses derivatives to manage some of its risk. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

A large portion of assets consists of unit linked group insurance plan which further invests in government and corporate bonds, equities, money market instruments & public deposits. The plan asset mix is in compliance with the requirements of the respective local regulations.

Share based payments a) Employee option plan

The establishment of the Sheela Foam Limited - Employees Stock Option Plan 2022’ (“SF ESOP - 2022”) was approved by shareholders at the 2022 annual general meeting. The Employee Option Plan is designed to provide long term incentive for people who are in the employment of the Company, whether working in India or outside India, including Director of the Company, whether Whole time director or not, including a non-executive director, but excluding Promoter, Promoter group and independent Directors, a director

who, either himself or through his relative or through any body corporate, directly or indirectly, holds more than ten per cent of the outstanding equity shares of the company to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted options which vest upon completion of upto three years or on satisfaction of market conditions. Participation in the plan is at the board''s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits.

(i) Fair value of options granted basis service vesting period

The fair value at the grant date of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2025 ranges from H 900.97 to H 1081.63 (March 31, 2024: H 1081.02 to H 1081.63).

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using the Black Scholes Model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

(ii) Fair value of options granted basis satisfaction of market conditions

The fair value at the grant date of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2024 was H 2347.47. No options were granted during the year.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using the Monte Carlo Simulations (MCS), which is used to model the probabilities of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted due to the intervention of random variables. It is a technique used to understand the impact of risk and uncertainty in prediction and forecasting models. We have forecasted the multiple possibilities of change in share price by using the MCS method for calculating the expected market capitalization.

a) The transactions with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end for trade payables/receivables are unsecured and interest free and loan balances carry interest, further settlements occurs in cash. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties. This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.

b) Details of financial/Corporate guarantees given are as below:

(i) Company has given a Corporate guarantee of AUD 20 million on April 09, 2021 and an additional guarantee on dated December 20, 2022 of AUD 5 Million and further additional guarantee on dated December 18, 2024 of AUD 3.885 Million towards term loan granted by Citi Bank, Australia for its subsidiary Company Joyce Foam PTY Limited., Australia.

(ii) Company has given financial guarantee of EURO 20 million on September 25, 2019 towards term loan granted by Citi Bank, Spain for its subsidiary company International Foam Technologies SL, Spain and the same was reduced to EURO 10.75 million at the year ending March 31, 2024 and same was further reduced to EURO 8.60 million at the year ended March 31, 2025.

NOTE 47 : DISCLOSURES AS PER IND AS 116 ‘LEASES’

(A) Company as lessee

(i) The Company’s significant leasing arrangements are in respect of the following assets:

The Company has leases of land and buildings for offices, warehouses and service centers. Right of Use Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The lease terms for leasehold buildings ranges between 2 years to 5 years and leasehold land range between 2 to 99 years.

NOTE 48 : FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction

between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

1. The Company has disclosed financial instruments such as loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables, other financial assets and liabilities at carrying value because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of the fair values due to their short-term nature.

2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to the account for the expected losses of these receivables.

NOTE 49 : FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are measured at

amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used

in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard.

The following is the hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

• Level 1 - The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. These instruments are included in level 1.

• Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

• Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for other investments, loans receivables and lease receivables included in level 3.

Valuation Processes

The finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO) including board of directors. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO and the valuation team every month. The Company takes the help of independent valuers for valuation purposes.

Fair Valuation Technique

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, creditors towards capital goods, cash and cash equivalents, other investment and other bank balances are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

The fair values financial assets and liabilities consisting of loans receivable, lease receivable, lease liabilities, security deposits receivable and security deposit payable were calculated based on cash flows discounted using estimated borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

Quantitative disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments as at March 31, 2025:

NOTE 50 : FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprises of borrowings, lease liabilities, deposits from dealers, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. Further, the Company has financial risk / exposure of financial guarantees given to the banks towards security against the loans taken by its subsidiaries, however, considering that there is no expected credit losses, there is no financial liability as at the year end on this account. The Company’s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances that are derived directly from its operations.

The Company’s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company is exposed to market 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 framework for the Company are accountable to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee. This process provides assurance to Company’s senior management that the Company’s financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risk are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company policies and Company risk objective.

The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized as below: a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risks include deposits from dealers, investments and foreign currency receivables and payables.

The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

The analysis exclude the impact of movements in market variables on; the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities.

The sensitivity of the relevant Profit and Loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in foreign currency). The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies. The Company is exposed to foreign currencies such as "USD", "AED", "AUD", "GBP"and “EURO”

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to USD, EURO, GBP, AED and AUD . The following table demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in respective exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.

The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items as tabulated above and adjusts their translation at the period end for sensitivity change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity and vice-versa.

(ii) Interest risk

Interest rate is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Company’s financial liabilities comprises mainly of interest-bearing deposits with dealers, however, these are not exposed to risk of fluctuation in market interest rate as the rates are fixed at the time of contract/agreement and do not change for any market fluctuation.

The Company is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the ongoing manufacture of bedding articles, home comfort products, furniture cushioning and specialized foam and therefore require a continuous supply of raw materials i.e. TDI and Polyol being the major input used in the manufacturing. Due to the significantly increased volatility of the price of the TDI and Polyol, the Company has entered into various purchase contracts for these material for which there is an active market. The Company’s management has developed and enacted a risk management strategy regarding commodity price risk and its mitigation. The Company partly mitigated the risk of price volatility by entering into the contract for the purchase of these material and further the Company increases prices of its products as and when appropriate to minimize the impact of increase in raw material prices.

b) Credit risk

Credit Risk is the risk that the counter party will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factor.

(i) Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by the Company through its established policies and procedures which involve setting up credit limits based on credit profiling of individual customers, credit approvals for enhancement of limits and regular monitoring of important developments viz. payment history, change in credit limits, regulatory changes, industry outlook etc. Outstanding receivables are regularly monitored and an impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for each major customer. The company has evaluated its concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low. Out of trade receivables, 17% of trade receivebles consists of customer which is subsidiary of company. In accordance with IND AS 109, the company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss of individual customers and not at portfolio level or reversal thereof. All trade receivebles are reviewed and assessed for default on monthly basis.

All trade receivebles are reviewed and assessed for default on monthly basis.

(ii) Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company’s finance department in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made in bank deposits, bonds, debentures and mutual funds. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counter party’s potential failure to make payments.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 is the carrying amounts which are given below. Trade Receivables and other financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as debtor failing to engage in the repayment plan with the Company.

(c) 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 reasonable price. The Company’s objective is to at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and liquidity requirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. It maintains adequate source of financing through the use of short-term bank deposits and short term investments. Processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to its debt and concluded it to be very low.

Financing arrangements

A portion of the Company''s trade payables form part of its supplier finance arrangement with select key suppliers. The payment terms for these trade payables remain identical to those of other payables. The Company does not view the arrangement as creating significant concentration of liquidity risk. Refer to note no. 29 for further details about the Company''s supplier finance arrangements.

NOTE 51: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

NOTE 55 : SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segment information

The Company is engaged in the manufacturing of the products of same type/class and has no overseas operations/units and as such there is no reportable segment as per Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS-108) dealing with the operating segments.

The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as Board of Directors of the Company.

Non-current operating assets

The Company has common non-current operating assets for domestic as well as overseas market. Hence, separate figures for these assets are not required to be furnished.

NOTE 56 : TRANSFER PRICING

The Company has appointed an independent consultant for conducting a Transfer Pricing Study to determine whether the transactions with associate enterprises undertaken during the financial year are on an "arm’s length basis". The Transfer Pricing study under the Income Tax Act, 1961 in respect of transaction with the group companies for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 is not yet complete. Adjustments, if any, arising from Transfer Pricing study shall be accounted for as and when the study is completed. The management confirms that all international transactions with associate enterprises are undertaken at negotiated contracted prices on usual commercial terms. During the current year, the Transfer Pricing certificate under section 92E of Income Tax Act, 1961 for the year ended March 31, 2024 has been obtained and there are no adverse comments requiring adjustments.

(ii) Hedging activities Foreign Currency Risk

The Company designates derivative contracts or non derivative financial assets / liabilities as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk of movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates for foreign exchange exposure on highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability or forecast cash transactions.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

(iii) Hedge Effectiveness

For derivatives designated as hedging instruments, there is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the hedge contracts match the terms of hedge items. The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange and interest rate are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.

(iv) Source of Hedge ineffectiveness

For derivatives designated as hedging instruments, in case of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, the main source of hedge ineffectiveness is the effect of the counterparty''s credit risk on the fair value of hedge contracts, which is not reflected in the fair value of the hedged items. The effect of this is not expected to be material.

Mar 31, 2024

a. Property that is held for long- term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both and that is not occupied by the Company, is classified as investment property. Investment properties are measured initially at cost,including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Subsequent costs are added to the carrying amount only when it is probable that it will increase its useful life. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during the year in which they are incurred. Though the Company measures investment property using cost based measurement, the fair value of the investment property is disclosed in the notes. Fair value is determined based on an annual evaluation performed by an accredited external independent valuer applying a recognized and recommended valuation model.

b. Depreciation on investment property, is provided on a pro-rata basis on a written down value basis, over the useful life of the property estimated by management, in the manner prescribed in Schedule II of the Act. The property''s residual value, useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and necessary adjustments are made accordingly, wherever required. The useful lives in the following cases are different from those prescribed in Schedule II of the Act:

Based on usage pattern, technical evaluation and internal assessment, management believes the useful lives, as given above best represent the period over which the management expects to use the properties. Hence, the useful lives of these properties is different from the lives as prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

c. The leasehold land has been amortised during the year by H 0.01 Crores (March 31, 2023 : H 0.01 Crores) as per the accounting policy in terms of the Ind AS-40 on ''Investment Property.

d. Investment property is derecognized when either it has been disposed off or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the investment property is included in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Transfers are made to/from investment property only when there is a change in its use. Transfers between investment property is made at the carrying amount of the property transferred. On transition to Ind AS, since there is no change in the functional currency, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying value for all of its investment property as recognized in its Indian GAAP financial statements as deemed cost at the transition date, viz., April 01, 2016.

f. The Company has obtained independent valuation for its investment properties at H 18.25 Crores as on March 31, 2024 and H 28.85 Crores as on March 31, 2023 ( includes one investment property located at Silvassa, which was sold during the year). These valuations are based on valuations performed by K.S. Agrawal Associates, an accredited independent valuer. K.S.Agrawal Associates is a specialist in valuing these types of investment properties and reviewed the fair valuation based on best evidence of fair value determined using replacement cost of an asset of equivalent utility, depreciation and obsolescence. Fair market value is the amount expressed in terms of money that may reasonably be expectedto be exchanged between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equityor both. The valuation by the valuer assumes that Company shall continue to operate and run the assets to have economic utility. The fair value is on ’as is where is’ basis.

g. There are no contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment property or for repairs, maintenance and enhancements thereof and there are no restrictions on remittance of income and proceeds of disposal.

c. For trade receivables, the Company has applied the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

e. The carrying amounts of the trade receivables include receivables which are subject to a factoring arrangement. Under this arrangement, the company has transferred the relevant receivables to the factor in exchange for cash and is prevented from selling or pledging the receivables. However, the company has retained late payment and credit risk. The company therefore continues to recognise the transferred assets in their entirety in its balance sheet. The amount repayable under the factoring agreement is presented as secured borrowing. The company considers that the held to collect business model remains appropriate for these receivables and hence continues measuring them at amortised cost.

Presenting Cash flows

Management considers that in substance the factor collects the amounts receivable on the entity''s behalf and retains the cash in settlement of the separate financing transaction. The company therefore presents the cash inflows received from the bank as financing cash inflows and the subsequent payments by the debtor as both operating cash inflows and financing cash outflows.

b. In certain cases, the Company provides its customers right to return the goods within a specified period. The Company uses the expected value method to estimate the goods that will not be returned because this method best predicts the amount of variable consideration to which the Company will be entitled. The requirements in Ind AS 115 on constraining estimates of variable consideration are also applied in order to determine the amount of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price. For goods that are expected to be returned, the Company recognises Liability for expected sales return, a receivables on expected sales return (and corresponding adjustment to change in inventory is also recognised for the receivables on expected sales return from a customer).

The warranty claims may not exactly match the historical warranty percentage, so such estimates are reviewed annually for any material changes in assumptions and likelihood of occurrence. Closing warranty provision is bifurcated into Current and Non-current based on the past settlement trend with the non-current portion being discounted to derive the present value. The assumptions are consistent with prior years.

B. Post employment benefits Defined benefit plans Gratuity

The employees'' gratuity fund scheme, which is a defined benefit plan, is managed by a trust with effect from 2019 and is being maintained by SFL Employees gratuity trust. Under the gratuity plan, every employee who has completed at least five years of service gets a gratuity on departure on 15 days of last drawn salary for each completed year of service. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

This plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, which requires that each employee who has completed 5 years of service shall be entitled to gratuity which is equal to salary of 15 days for each completed year of service.

i. The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

ii. Information given for retirement age is based on India''s standard mortality table with modification to reflect expected changes in mortality/others.

Quantitative sensitivity analysis for significant assumptions as at March 31, 2024 is shown below:

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting year, while holding all other assumptions constant.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting year, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the Balance sheet.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, Other Comprehensive Income and the funded status and amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet for the gratuity plan. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost are measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date.

Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

a. Asset volatility:

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. Most of the plan asset investments are in fixed income securities with high grades and in government securities. These are subject to interest rate risk. A portion of the funds are invested in equity securities. The Company has a risk management strategy where the aggregate amount of risk exposure on a portfolio level is maintained at a fixed range. Any deviations from the range are corrected by rebalancing the portfolio. The Company intends to maintain the above investment mix in the continuing years.

b. Changes in discount rate:

A decrease in discount rate will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans'' assets holdings.

c. Inflation risks:

Gratuity payments are not linked to inflation, so this is a less material risk.

The Company ensures that the investment positions are managed within an asset-liability matching (ALM) framework that has been developed to achieve long-term investments that are in line with the obligations under the employee benefit plans. Within this framework, the Company''s ALM objective is to match assets to the pension obligations by investing in long-term fixed interest securities with maturities that match the benefit payments as they fall due and in the appropriate currency.

The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. The Company uses derivatives to manage some of its risk. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

A large portion of assets consists of unit linked group insurance plan which further invests in government and corporate bonds, equities, money market instruments & public deposits. The plan asset mix is in compliance with the requirements of the respective local regulations.

C. Share based payments a) Employee option plan

The establishment of the SHEELA FOAM - Employees Stock Option Plan 2022- (''SF ESOP - 2022'') was approved by shareholders at the 2022 annual general meeting. The Employee Option Plan is designed to provide long term incentive for people who are in the employment of the Company, whether working in India or outside India, including Director of the Company, whether Wholetime director or not, including a non-executive director, but excluding Promoter, Promoter group and independent Directors, a director who, either himself or through his relative or through any body corporate, directly or indirectly, holds more than ten per cent of the outstanding equity shares of the company to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted options which vest upon completion of upto three years or on satisfaction of market conditions. Participation in the plan is at the board''s discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits.

(i) Fair value of options granted basis service vesting period

The fair value at the grant date of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2024 ranges from H 1081.18 to H 1081.63.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using the Black Scholes Model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

(ii) Fair value of options granted basis satisfaction of market conditions

The fair value at the grant date of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2024 was H 2347.47.

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using the Monte Carlo Simulations (MCS), which is used to model the probabilities of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted due to the intervention of random variables. It is a technique used to understand the impact of risk and uncertainty in prediction and forecasting models. We have forecasted the multiple possibilities of change in share price by using the MCS method for calculating the expected market capitalization.

a) The transactions with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm''s length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end for trade payables/receivables are unsecured and interest free and loan balances carry interest, further settlements occurs in cash. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties. This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.

The Company has leases of land and buildings for offices, warehouses and service centres. Right of Use Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The lease terms for leasehold buildings ranges between 3 years to 10 years and lease hold land range between 2 to 97 years.

(B) Company as lessor

(i) The Company has entered into lease agreements to lease the following properties which have been treated as "Investment Property".

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

1. The Company has disclosed financial instruments such as loans, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables, other financial assets and liabilities at carrying value because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of the fair values due to their short-term nature.

2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to the account for the expected losses of these receivables.

NOTE 48 : FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard.

The following is the hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

• Level 1 - The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. These instruments are included in level 1.

• Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

• Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for other investments, loans receivables and lease receivables included in level 3.

Valuation Processes

The finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO) including board of directors. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO and the valuation team every month. The Company takes the help of independent valuers for valuation purposes.

Fair Valuation Technique

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, creditors towards capital goods, cash and cash equivalents, other investment and other bank balances are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature

The fair values financial assets and liabilities consisting of loans receivable, lease receivable, lease liabilities, security deposits receivable and security deposit payable were calculated based on cash flows discounted using estimated borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

The Company''s principal financial liabilities comprises of borrowings, lease liabilities, deposits from dealers, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Companys operations. Further, the Company has financial risk / exposure of financial guarantees given to the banks towards security against the loans taken by its subsidiaries, however, considering that there is no expected credit losses, there is no financial liability as at the year end on this account. The Company''s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances that are derived directly from its operations.

The Company''s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company is exposed to market 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 framework for the Company are accountable to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee. This process provides assurance to Company''s senior management that the Company''s financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risk are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company policies and Company risk objective.

The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized as below:

a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risks include deposits from dealers, investments and foreign currency receivables and payables.

The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

The analysis exclude the impact of movements in market variables on; the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities.

The sensitivity of the relevant Profit and Loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in foreign currency). The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies. The Company is exposed to foreign currencies such as "USD", "AED", "AUD", "GBP" and "EURO".

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to USD, EURO, GBP, AED and AUD . The following table demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in respective exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.

The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items as tabulated above and adjusts their translation at the period end for sensitivity change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity and vice-versa.

(ii) Interest risk

Interest rate is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Company''s financial liabilities comprises mainly of interest-bearing deposits with dealers, however, these are not exposed to risk of fluctuation in market interest rate as the rates are fixed at the time of contract/agreement and do not change for any market fluctuation.

(iii) Commodity price risk

The Company is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the ongoing manufacture of bedding articles, home comfort products, furniture cushioning and specialized foam and therefore require a continuous supply of raw materials i.e. TDI and Polyol being the major input used in the manufacturing. Due to the significantly increased volatility of the price of the TDI and Polyol, the Company has entered into various purchase contracts for these material for which there is an active market. The Company''s management has developed and enacted a risk management strategy regarding commodity price risk and its mitigation. The Company partly mitigated the risk of price volatility by entering into the contract for the purchase of these material and further the Company increases prices of its products as and when appropriate to minimize the impact of increase in raw material prices.

b) Credit risk

Credit Risk is the risk that the counter party will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factor:

(i) Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by the Company through its established policies and procedures which involve setting up credit limits based on credit profiling of individual customers, credit approvals for enhancement of limits and regular monitoring of important developments viz. payment history, change in credit limits, regulatory changes, industry outlook etc. Outstanding receivables are regularly monitored and an impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for each major customer. In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or reversal thereof. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to Company''s customer base being large and diverse. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on monthly basis.

(ii) Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company''s finance department in accordance with the Company''s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made in bank deposits, bonds, debentures and mutual funds. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counter party''s potential failure to make payments.

The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 is the carrying amounts which are given below. Trade Receivables and other financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as debtor failing to engage in the repayment plan with the Company.

(c) 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 reasonable price. The Company''s objective is to at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and liquidity requirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. It maintains adequate source of financing through the use of short-term bank deposits and short term investments. Processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company''s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to its debt and concluded it to be very low.

The Company has not distributed any dividend to its shareholders The Company monitors gearing ratio i.e. total debt in proportion to its overall financing structure, i.e. equity and debt. The capital structure of the Company is managed with a view of the overall macro economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company''s policy is to maintain a strong capital structure with a focus to mitigate all existing and potential risks to the Company, maintain shareholder, vendor and market confidence and sustain continuous growth and development of the Company. The Company''s focus is on keeping a strong total equity base to ensure independence, security, as well as high financial flexibility without impacting the risk profile of the Company. In order, to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company will take appropriate steps as may be necessary.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

NOTE 58 : DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING (i) Classification of derivatives

Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. However, where derivatives do not meet the hedge accounting criteria, they are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. Information about the derivatives used by the Company and outstanding as at the end of the financial year is provided below:

(ii) Hedging activities Foreign Currency Risk

The Company designates derivative contracts or non derivative financial assets / liabilities as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk of movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates for foreign exchange exposure on highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability or forecast cash transactions

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

(iii) Hedge Effectiveness

For derivatives designated as hedging instruments, there is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the hedge contracts match the terms of hedge items. The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange and interest rate are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.

(iv) Source of Hedge ineffectiveness

For derivatives designated as hedging instruments, in case of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, the main source of hedge ineffectiveness is the effect of the counterparty''s credit risk on the fair value of hedge contracts, which is not reflected in the fair value of the hedged items. The effect of this is not expected to be material.

The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

This plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, which requires that each employee who has completed 5 years of service shall be entitled to gratuity which is equal to salary of 15 days for each completed year of service.

i. The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

ii. Information given for retirement age is based on India''s standard mortality table with modification to reflect expected changes in mortality/ others.

Quantitative sensitivity analysis for significant assumptions as at March 31, 2023 is shown below:

Significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the defined obligation are discount rate, expected salary increase and mortality. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, Other Comprehensive Income and the funded status and amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet for the gratuity plan. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost are measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date.

The current service cost and the net interest expense for the year are included in the ''Employee benefits expense'' line item in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability is included in other comprehensive income.

Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

a. Asset volatility:

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to government bond yields; if plan assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. Most of the plan asset investments are in fixed income securities with high grades and in government securities. These are subject to interest rate risk. A portion of the funds are invested in equity securities. The Company has a risk management strategy where the aggregate amount of risk exposure on a portfolio level is maintained at a fixed range. Any deviations from the range are corrected by rebalancing the portfolio.

The Company intends to maintain the above investment mix in the continuing years.

b. Changes in discount rate:

A decrease in discount rate will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plans'' assets holdings.

c. Inflation risks

Gratuity payments are not linked to inflation, so this is a less material risk.

The Company ensures that the investment positions are managed within an asset-liability matching (ALM) framework that has been developed to achieve long-term investments that are in line with the obligations under the employee benefit plans. Within this framework, the Company''s ALM objective is to match assets to the pension obligations by investing in long-term fixed interest securities with maturities that match the benefit payments as they fall due and in the appropriate currency.

The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to manage its risks from previous periods. The Company uses derivatives to manage some of its risk. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

A large portion of assets consists of unit linked group insurance plan which further invests in government and corporate bonds, equities, money market instruments & public deposits. The plan asset mix is in compliance with the requirements of the respective local regulations.

a. The transactions with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm''s length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end for trade payables/receivables are unsecured and interest free and loan balances carry interest, further settlements occurs in cash. For the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company has not recorded any impairment of receivables relating to amounts owed by related parties. This assessment is undertaken each financial year through examining the financial position of the related party and the market in which the related party operates.

b. Details of financial/Corporate guarantees given are as below:

i. Company has given a Corporate guarantee of AUD 20 million on April 09, 2021 and an additional guarantee on dated December 20, 2022 of AUD 5 Million towards term loan granted by Citi Bank, Australia for its subsidiary Company Joyce Foam PTY Ltd., Australia.

NOTE 46 : DISCLOSURES AS PER IND AS 116 ‘LEASES’

(A) Company as lessee

(i) The Company’s significant leasing arrangements are in respect of the following assets:

(a) The Company has leases of land and buildings for offices, warehouses and service centres. Right of Use Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The lease terms for leasehold buildings ranges between 3 years to 10 years.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

1. The Company has disclosed financial instruments such as loans, investment in preference shares, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables, other financial assets and liabilities at carrying value because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of the fair values due to their short-term nature.

2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to the account for the expected losses of these receivables.

NOTE 48 : FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard.

The following is the hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

• Level 1 - The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. These instruments are included in level 1.

• Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

• Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for investment in preference shares, other investments, loans receivables and lease receivables included in level 3.

Valuation Processes

The finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) including board of directors. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO and the valuation team every month. The Company takes the help of independent valuers for valuation purposes.

Fair Valuation Technique

The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, creditors towards capital goods, cash and cash equivalents, investment in pref. share, other investment and other bank balances are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities consisting of loans receivable, lease receivable, lease liabilities, security deposits receivable and security deposit payable were calculated based on cash flows discounted using estimated borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

The Company''s principal financial liabilities, comprise of deposits from dealers, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company''s operations. Further, the Company has financial risk / exposure of financial guarantees given to the banks towards security against the loans taken by its subsidiaries, however, considering that there is no expected credit losses, there is no financial liability as at the year end on this account. The Company''s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances that are derived directly from its operations

The Company''s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company is exposed to market 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 framework for the Company are accountable to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee. This process provides assurance to Company''s senior management that the Company''s financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risk are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company policies and Company risk objective.

The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized as below: a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risks include deposits from dealers, investments and foreign currency receivables and payables.

The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

The analysis exclude the impact of movements in market variables on; the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations, provisions and the non-financial assets and liabilities.

The sensitivity of the relevant Profit and Loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

(i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in foreign currency). The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies. The Company is exposed to foreign currencies such as “USD”, “AED”, “AUD”, “GBP” and “EURO”.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to USD, EURO, GBP, AED and AUD . The following table demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in respective exchange rates, with all other variables held constant.

The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items as tabulated above and adjusts their translation at the period end for sensitivity change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit or equity and vice-versa.

(ii) Interest risk

Interest rate is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Company''s financial liabilities comprises mainly of interest-bearing deposits with dealers, however, these are not exposed to risk of fluctuation in market interest rate as the rates are fixed at the time of contract/agreement and do not change for any market fluctuation.

(iii) Commodity price risk

The Company is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the ongoing manufacture of bedding articles, home comfort products, furniture cushioning and specialized foam and therefore require a continuous supply of raw materials i.e. TDI and Polyol being the major input used in the manufacturing. Due to the significantly increased volatility of the price of the TDI and Polyol, the Company has entered into various purchase contracts for these material for which there is an active market. The Company''s management has developed and enacted a risk management strategy regarding commodity price risk and its mitigation. The Company partly mitigated the risk of price volatility by entering into the contract for the purchase of these material and further the Company increases prices of its products as and when appropriate to minimize the impact of increase in raw material prices.

b) Credit risk

Credit Risk is the risk that the counter party will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.

(i) Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by the Company through its established policies and procedures which involve setting up credit limits based on credit profiling of individual customers, credit approvals for enhancement of limits and regular monitoring of important developments viz. payment history, change in credit limits, regulatory changes, industry outlook etc. Outstanding receivables are regularly monitored and an impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for each major customer. In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or reversal thereof. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to Company''s customer base being large and diverse. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on monthly basis.

(ii) Financial instruments and cash deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company''s finance department in accordance with the Company''s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made in bank deposits, bonds, debentures and mutual funds. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counter party''s potential failure to make payments.

The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 is the carrying amounts which are given below. Trade Receivables and other financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as debtor failing to engage in the repayment plan with the Company.

(c) 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 reasonable price. The Company''s objective is to at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and liquidity requirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. It maintains adequate source of financing through the use of short-term bank deposits and short term investments. Processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company''s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to its debt and concluded it to be very low.

NOTE 50: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company''s objective in managing its capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to our shareholders. The Company considers the following components of its Balance Sheet to be managed capital: 1) Share Capital and 2) Other Reserves comprising of General Reserve and Retained Earnings. The Company''s capital structure is based on the Management’s assessment of the balances of key elements to ensure strategic decisions and day to day activities.

The Company has not distributed any dividend to its shareholders. The Company monitors gearing ratio i.e. total debt in proportion to its overall financing structure, i.e. equity and debt. The capital structure of the Company is managed with a view of the overall macro economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company''s policy is to maintain a strong capital structure with a focus to mitigate all existing and potential risks to the Company, maintain shareholder, vendor and market confidence and sustain continuous growth and development of the Company. The Company''s focus is on keeping a strong total equity base to ensure independence, security, as well as high financial flexibility without impacting the risk profile of the Company. In order, to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company will take appropriate steps as may be necessary.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

NOTE 54 : SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segment information

The Company is engaged in the manufacturing of the products of same type/class and has no overseas operations/units and as such there is no reportable segment as per Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS-108) dealing with the operating segments. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as Board of Directors of the Company.

The revenue information is based on location of customers and excluding other operating revenue.

Non-current operating assets

The Company has common non-current operating assets for domestic as well as overseas market. Hence, separate figures for these assets are not required to be furnished.

NOTE 55 : TRANSFER PRICING

The Company has appointed an independent consultant for conducting a Transfer Pricing Study to determine whether the transactions with associate enterprises undertaken during the financial year are on an “arm''s length basis”. The Transfer Pricing study under the Income Tax Act, 1961 in respect of transaction with the group companies for the financial year ended March 31, 2023 is not yet complete. Adjustments, if any, arising from Transfer Pricing study shall be accounted for as and when the study is completed. The management confirms that all international transactions with associate enterprises are undertaken at negotiated contracted prices on usual commercial terms. During the current year, the Transfer Pricing certificate under section 92E of Income Tax Act, 1961 for the year ended March 31, 2022 has been obtained and there are no adverse comments requiring adjustments.

The Information has been given in respect of such suppliers to the extent they could be identified as “Micro and Small” enterprises on the basis of information available with the Company. Further, the amount payable to these parties is not overdue hence no interest is required to provided/accrued as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022.

II The credit period for purchase of goods and services are normally up to 30 days. No interest is chargeable on trade payables.

(ii) Hedging activities Foreign Currency Risk

The Company designates derivative contracts or non derivative financial assets / liabilities as hedging instruments to mitigate the risk of movement in interest rates and foreign exchange rates for foreign exchange exposure on highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability or forecast cash transactions.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

(iii) Hedge Effectiveness

For derivatives designated as hedging instruments, there is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the hedge contracts match the terms of hedge items. The Company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the foreign exchange and interest rate are identical to the hedged risk components. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks.

(iv) Source of Hedge ineffectiveness

For derivatives designated as hedging instruments, in case of foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, the main source of hedge ineffectiveness is the effect of the counterparty''s credit risk on the fair value of hedge contracts, which is not reflected in the fair value of the hedged items. The effect of this is not expected to be material.

C. Defined benefit plans Gratuity

The employees'' gratuity fund scheme, which is a defined benefit plan, is managed by a trust with effect from 2019 is being maintained by Sheela Foam Employees gratuity trust. Under the gratuity plan, every employee who has completed atleast five years of service gets a gratuity on departure on 15 days of last drawn salary for each completed year of service. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation. This plan is governed by the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, which requires that each employee who has completed 5 years of service shall be entitled to gratuity which is equal to salary of 15 days for each completed year of service.

i. The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

ii. I nformation given for retirement age is based on India''s standard mortality table with modification to reflect expected changes in mortality/ others.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same as that applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation liability recognised in the balance sheet.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

The following tables summarise the components of net benefit expense recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, Other Comprehensive Income and the funded status and amounts recognised in the Balance Sheet for the gratuity plan. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost are measured using the Projected Unit Credit Method with actuarial valuations being carried out at each balance sheet date.

a. The transactions with related parties are made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm''s length transactions. Outstanding balances at the year-end for trade payable/receivable are unsecured and interest free and loan balances carry interest, further settlements occurs in cash.

NOTE 46 : FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

1. The Company has disclosed financial instruments such as trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables, other financial assets and liabilities at carrying value because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of the fair values due to their short-term nature.

2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to the account for the expected losses of these receivables.

NOTE 47 : FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

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

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data

NOTE 48 : FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company has elected to apply the following optional exemptions from retrospective application:

i) Deemed cost for Property, Plant and Equipment and Investment Properties

The Company has elected to measure all its property, plant and equipment and investment properties at the Previous Indian GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS.

The Company has elected to measure its investments in subsidiaries at the Previous Indian GAAP carrying amount as its deemed cost on the date of transition to Ind AS.

iii) Ind AS 17 “Leases’ requires an entity to assess whether a contract or arrangement contains a lease. In accordance with Ind AS 17, this assessment should be carried out at the inception of the contract or arrangement. Ind AS 101 provides an option to make this assessment on the basis of facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition to Ind AS except where the effect is material. The Company has elected to apply this exemption for such contracts/arrangements.

B. Ind AS mandatory exceptions

i) Estimates

On assessment of the estimates made under the Previous Indian GAAP financial statements, the Company has concluded that there is no necessity to revise the estimates under Ind AS, as there is no objective evidence of an error in those estimates. However, estimates that were required under Ind AS but not required under Previous Indian GAAP are made by the Company, wherever required for the relevant reporting dates reflecting conditions existing as at that date.

ii) Classification and measurement of financial assets

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of facts and circumstances existing as on the date of transition. Further, the standard permits measurement of financial assets accounted at amortised cost based on facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition, if retrospective application is impracticable. Accordingly, the Company has determined the classification of financial assets bases on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of transition to Ind AS.

iii) De-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to apply the de-recognition provisions of Ind AS 109 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to Ind AS.

C. Transition to Ind AS - Reconciliations

I. Reconciliation of Equity as at 1 April, 2016

II. A. Reconciliation of Equity as at 31 March, 2017

B. Reconciliation of Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31 March, 2017

III. Adjustments to Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 31 March, 2017

Previous Indian GAAP figures have been reclassified / regrouped wherever necessary to conform to financial statements prepared under Ind AS.

Notes to the reconciliation of equity as at 1 April, 2016 and 31 March, 2017 and total comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March, 2017.

a) Fair Valuation of Investments

In accordance with Ind AS 109 “Financial Instruments”, investments in mutual funds, debentures etc. are recognised at fair value through the statement of profit and loss at each reporting period.

b) Under Ind AS, at initial recognition all financial instruments are required to be recognised at fair value. Accordingly the Company has fair valued the “Loan and advance from related party” resulting in decrease in “Loan from Relatives” and recognition of “Unearned Interest Income” at the reporting date.

c) Under previous GAAP, security deposits (that are refundable in cash on completion of lease term) are recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, at initial recognition all financial instruments are required to be recognised at fair value. Accordingly the Company has fair valued the security deposits and the difference between the transaction value and fair value is recognised as “Unearned Interest Income” at the reporting date.

d) Recognition of Investment Property (Ind AS - 40)

Company has given assets held i.e. leasehold land and building at Sikkim Unit (after closure of the unit) to Titan Industries Limited for 10 years; therefore, the said assets have been shown as Investment Property from 01.12.2016.

e) Excise Duty

Under the Previous Indian GAAP, revenue from sale to goods was presented exclusive of excise duty. Under Ind AS revenue from sales of goods is presented inclusive of excise duty. Excise duty paid is presented as expenditure under Statement of profit and loss.

f) Revenue from Sale of Products

Under Previous Indian GAAP, revenue was recognised net of trade discounts, sales taxes / VAT and excise duties. Under Ind AS, revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, after deduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates, rate/weight difference and any taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government such as sales tax/VAT except excise duty. Credit notes given to the consumer/dealer/distributor includes cash discounts, volume rebates and rate/weight differences which have been reclassified from ‘Incentives & Rebates’ within other expenses under Previous GAAP are netted from revenue under Ind AS.

g) Straight-Lining of Leases (Ind AS - 17)

Under Previous Indian GAAP, rent/lease income/expense has been recognised based on actual payment made; however under IND AS, Lease income/expense has be recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term and the corresponding impact of decrease/increase is recognised under Lease Equalization Asset/Liability.

h) Actuarial gain/(loss) on Defined Benefit Scheme (Ind AS - 19)

Both under Previous Indian GAAP and Ind AS, the Company recognised costs related to its post-employment defined benefit plan on an actuarial basis. Under Previous Indian GAAP, the entire cost, including actuarial gains and losses, are charged to profit or loss. Under Ind AS, remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses are recognised in balance sheet through other comprehensive income. Thus, employee benefits expense is reduced with the corresponding impact under other comprehensive income. The related current tax expense has also been reclassified from statement of Profit and loss to Other Comprehensive Income.

i) Deferred Taxes (Ind AS -12)

Under the Previous Indian GAAP, deferred tax is calculated using the income statement approach, which focuses on difference between taxable profits and accounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 - ‘Income tax’ requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. As, the Company is already calculating deferred tax under balance sheet approach, therefore no impact has been noted for the year ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

j) Other comprehensive Income

Under Previous Indian GAAP, the Company has not presented Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) separately. Hence, it has reconciled Previous Indian GAAP profit to profit as per Ind AS. Further, Previous Indian GAAP profit is reconciled to Total Comprehensive Income as per Ind AS.

k) Previous Indian GAAP figures have been reclassified / regrouped wherever necessary to conform to financial statements prepared under Ind AS.

D. Standard issued but not yet effective

The standard issued, but not yet effective (considering the applicability to the Company) upto the date of the issuance of the Company’s financial statements is disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt this standard when it becomes effective.

Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Ind AS 115 was issued in February, 2015 and establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under Ind AS 115, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new revenue standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under Ind AS. This standard will come into force from accounting period commencing on or after April 01, 2018. The Company will adopt the new standard on the required effective date. During the current year, the Company performed a preliminary assessment of Ind AS 115, which is subject to changes arising from a more detailed ongoing analysis.

14.8 Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts and fair values of the financial instruments by class are as follows:

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

1. The Company has disclosed financial instruments such as trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables, other financial assets and liabilities at carrying value because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of the fair values due to their short term nature.

2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to the account for the expected losses of these receivables.

Fair value hierarchy

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

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

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

14.8 Capital Management

Equity share capital and other equity are considered for the purpose of Company’s capital management.

The Company manages its capital so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to shareholders. The capital structure of the Company is based on management’s judgement of its strategic and day-to-day needs with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence.

The management and the Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to shareholders. The Company may take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.

14.9 Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s principal financial liabilities, comprise of borrowings, security deposits, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include investments, loans, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances that are derived directly from its operations.

The Company’s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company is exposed to market 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 framework for the Company are accountable to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee. This process provides assurance to Company’s senior management that the Company’s financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risk are identified, measured and managed in accordance with Company policies and Company risk objective.

The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarized as below:

(a) Market Risk:

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risks include borrowings, security deposits, investments and foreign currency receivables and payables. The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as at 31 March, 2018. The analyses exclude the impact of movements in market variables on; the carrying values of gratuity and other post-retirement obligations; provisions; and the non-financial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant Profit and Loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as of 31 March, 2018.

i) Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in foreign currency). Foreign currency exchange rate exposure is partly balanced by purchasing of goods from various countries. The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policies.

Foreign currency risk sensitivity

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in USD, EURO and AUD exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Company profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. Foreign currency exposures recognised by the Company that have not been hedged by a derivative instrument or otherwise are as under:

ii) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Company’s financial liabilities comprises of interest bearing vehicle loans, loan and advance from related party and security deposits; however these are not exposed to risk of fluctuation in market interest rate as the rates are fixed at the time of contract/agreement and do not change for any market fluctuation.

iii) Commodity Price Risk

The Company is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the ongoing manufacture of bedding articles, home comfort products, furniture cushioning and specialized foam and therefore require a continuous supply of raw materials i.e. TDI and Polyol being the major input used in the manufacturing. Due to the significantly increased volatility of the price of the TDI and Polyol, the Company has entered into various purchase contracts for these material for which there is an active market. The Company’s management has developed and enacted a risk management strategy regarding commodity price risk and its mitigation. The Company partly mitigated the risk of price volatility by entering into the contract for the purchase of these material and further the Company increases prices of its products as and when appropriate to minimize the impact of increase in raw material prices.

(b) Credit Risk :

Credit Risk is the risk that the counter party will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

i) 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. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating review and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. The Company regularly monitors its outstanding customer receivables.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on trade receivables by lifetime expected credit loss method based on provision matrix. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets. The Company does not hold collateral as security. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.

ii) Financial instruments and cash & bank deposits

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company’s finance department in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made in bank deposits, bonds, debentures and mutual funds. The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counter party’s potential failure to make payments.

The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet at 31 March, 2018 is the carrying amounts which are given below. Trade Receivables and other financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as debtor failing to engage in the repayment plan with the Company.

Balances with banks is subject to low credit risks due to good credit ratings assigned to these banks.

The ageing analysis and loss allowance of trade receivables given below has been considered from the date the invoice falls due:

(c) 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 reasonable price. The Company’s objective is to at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and liquidity requirements. The Company closely monitors its liquidity position and deploys a robust cash management system. It maintains adequate source of financing through the use of short term bank deposits, short term investments and cash credit facility. Processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company assessed the concentration of risk with respect to its debt and concluded it to be very low.
