2.20 Provisions and contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that
an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate of the amount
can be made. Provisions are determined based on best estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet
date. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying
amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of the money is material).
The increase in the provisions due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer
probable that the outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which
will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not disclosed in the Financial Statements unless an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
2.21 Dividend
Final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are
recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.
2.22. Earnings per Share (EPS)
Basic earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company
by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per equity share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity holders of the
Company by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per equity share
and also the weighted average number of equity shares that could have been issued upon conversion of all dilutive
potential equity shares. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the equity
shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding equity shares). Dilutive
potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Dilutive
potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.
The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted retrospectively for all periods
presented for any share splits and bonus shares issues including for changes effected prior to the approval of the
financial statements by the Board of Directors.

Fair value hierarchy
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments
that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the
closing price as at the reporting period.
Note 44: Financial Instruments by category (Contd)
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market 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.
During the years mentioned above, there have been no transfers amongst the levels of hierarchy. The fair values of unquoted
equity instruments are not significantly different from their carrying value and hence the management has considered their
carrying amount as fair value.
Valuation processes

required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the chief financial officer
(CFO) and the audit committee (AC). Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO, AC and the

Note 45: 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 cah 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.
(iii) Commodity price risk
The Company is affected by the price volatility of certain commodities. Its operating activities require the ongoing
manufacture of paper and paper boards and therefore require a continuous supply of raw materials i.e. waste paper,
chemicals, coal etc. being the major input used in the manufacturing. Due to the significantly increased volatility
of the price of waste paper and coal the Company had 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
The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for
creditworthiness before orders are accepted and the payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The
Company's review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information,
industry information and business intelligence. Sales limits are established for each customer and reviewed annually.
Any sales exceeding those limits require approval from the appropriate authority as per policy.
Expected credit loss for trade receivables:
The Company estimates its allowance for trade receivable using lifetime expected credit loss. The Company has also
taken advances and trade deposits from its customers which mitigate the credit risk to an extent. The Company
considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant
increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant
increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with
the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding¬
looking information.
ii) Financial Instruments and cash deposits
The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the instutition, market reputation, financial strength/
rating and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Generally the
balances are maintained with the institutions with which the Company has also availed borrowings.
