k. Provision, Contingent Liabilities &
Contingent Assets
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a
present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result
of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow
of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made for the
amount of the obligation.
If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are measured on a discounted basis to reflect
its present value using a current pre-tax rate that reflects
the current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the obligation. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to
the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arise
from past events whose existence will be confirmed
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events beyond the control of the
company or a present obligation that is not recognised
because it is probable that an outflow of resources
will not be required to settle the obligation. However,
if the possibility of outflow of resources, arising out of
present obligation, is remote, it is not even disclosed as
contingent liability. The company does not recognize
a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the
financial assets.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed
in the financial statements.
l. Revenue Recognition
The Company manufactures and sells a range of
chemicals and other products.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when
significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred
to the buyer, there is no continuing managerial
involvement with the goods and the amount of
revenue can be measured reliably, which coincides
with the date of dispatch/bill of lading. The Company
retains no effective control of the goods transferred
to a degree usually associated with ownership and no
significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of
the consideration that will be derived from the sale of
goods.
The Company does not expect to have any contracts
where the period between the transfer of the promised
goods or services to the customer and payment by the
customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, it does
not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time
value of money.
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration
received or receivable includes freight, wherever
applicable and is net of trade discounts, volume rebates
and GST.
Export incentives under various schemes are accounted
in the year of export.
Revenue from technical services recognized on the
basis of milestones for rendering services as per the
agreement.
Interest income is recognized on time apportionment
basis. Effective interest rate (EIR) method is used to
compute the interest income on long term loans and
advances. Interest income from a financial asset is
recognised when it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of
income can be measured reliably.
Dividend income on investments is recognised when
the right to receive dividend is established.
m. Employee Benefits
i. Defined Contribution Plans
Contributions to defined contribution schemes such
as employees’ state insurance, labour welfare fund,
superannuation scheme, employee pension scheme
etc. are charged as an expense based on the amount
of contribution required to be made as and when
services are rendered by the employees. Eligible
employees receive benefits from a provident fund,
which is a defined contribution plan to the Trust/
Government administered Trust. Both the employee
and the company make contribution to the Amines
Plasticizers Limited Employees’ provident Fund Trust/
Government administered Trust equal to the specified
percentage of the covered employee’s salary. Company
also contributes to a Government administered pension
fund on behalf of its employees.
ii. Defined Contribution Plans
The Company also provides for retirement benefits in
the form of gratuity and compensated absences to the
employees of the Company.
For defined benefit plans, the amount recognised as
‘Employee benefit expenses’ in the Statement of Profit
and Loss is the cost of accruing employee benefits
promised to employees over the year and the costs of
individual events such as past/future service benefit
changes and settlements (such events are recognised
immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss). Any
changes in the liabilities over the year due to changes
in actuarial assumptions or experience adjustments
within the plans, are recognised immediately in
‘Other comprehensive income’ and subsequently not
reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The defined benefit plan surplus or deficit on the
Balance Sheet comprises the total for each plan of
the fair value of plan assets less the present value of
the defined benefit liabilities (using a discount rate by
reference to market yields on government bonds at the
end of the reporting period).
All defined benefit plans obligations are determined
based on valuations, as at the Balance Sheet date,
made by independent actuary using the projected unit
credit method. The classification of the Company’s net
obligation into current and non-current is as per the
actuarial valuation report.
Liability for balance leave encashment/entitlement
is provided on the basis of actuarial valuation at the
year end.
n. Taxation
Income tax expense for the year comprises of current
tax and deferred tax. It is recognised in the Statement
of Profit and Loss except to the extent it relates to a
business combination or to an item which is recognized
directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current Tax
Current tax is tax expected tax payable on the taxable
income for the year, using the tax rate enacted at the
reporting date, and any adjustment to the tax payable
in respect of the earlier periods. Taxable profit differs
from the net profit as reported in the statement of
profit and loss because it excludes items of income or
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years
and it further excludes items that are never taxable or
deductible.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset
when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle
the asset and the liability on a net basis.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary
differences between the carrying amount of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
corresponding amounts used for taxation purposes.
A deferred tax liability is recognised based on the
expected manner of realisation or settlement of the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates
enacted, or substantively enacted, by the end of the
reporting period. Deferred tax assets are recognised only
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits
will be available against which the asset can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date
and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset
when there is a legally enforceable right to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and the
deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate
to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.
MAT credit entitlement is recognized and carried
forward only if there is a reasonable certainty of it being
set off against regular tax payable within the stipulated
statutory period.
o. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the
net profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders
of the Company by the weighted-average number
of equity shares outstanding during the year. The
weighted-average number of equity shares outstanding
during the year and for all years presented is adjusted for
events such as bonus issue; bonus element in a rights
issue to existing shareholders; share split; and reverse
share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed
the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per
share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to
equity shareholders and the weighted-average number
of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for
the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
p. Foreign Currency Transactions and
Translation
The financial statements are presented in Indian
Rupees (INR), which is the functional currency of
the Company and the presentation currency for the
financial statements.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recognized at
the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction dates.
Realized gains and losses on settlement of foreign
currency transactions are recognized in the Statement
of Profit and Loss.
Foreign currency monetary items (assets and liabilities)
at the year- end are translated at the year-end exchange
rates and the resultant exchange differences are
recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of
historical cost in a foreign currency are recorded using
the exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Non¬
monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the
date when the fair value was measured. 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 Statement of Profit and Loss
are also recognised in OCI or Statement of Profit and
Loss, respectively).

Exchange Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk and Commodity Price Risk. The Company’s management and the
Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for establishing and governing the Company’s risk management
framework. The risk management framework works at various levels in the enterprise. The organization structure of

Board and the Audit Committee keeping a check on overall effectiveness of the risk management of the Company.
Credit Risk
Credit Risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual
obligations. Financial instruments that are subject to credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, investments,
loans, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks and other financial assets. None of the financial
instruments of the Company result in material credit risk.
Credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the Company has a policy of dealing only with credit
worthy counter parties, where appropriate as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. All
trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a quarterly basis. Our historical experience of collecting
receivables is that credit risk is low. Hence, trade receivables are considered to be a single class of financial assets.
The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables and loan from individual customers based on
historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based
on actual credit loss experience and past trends. based on the historical data, loss on collection of receivables is not
material hence no additional provision considered.
