Key Audit Matters

Revenue
The Company derives its revenues from multiple products andservices including flexible packaging products, and relatedactivities, etc. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at apoint in time when the control has been transferred subject tothe terms with the customers, which generally coincides withdispatch of goods to customers in case of domestic sales andon the basis of bill of lading in the case of export sales. Theperformance obligations in our contracts are fulfilled at thetime of dispatch, delivery or upon formal customer acceptancedepending on customer terms.
Revenue is measured on the basis of contracted price, afterdeduction of any trade discounts, volume rebates and any taxesor duties collected on behalf of the government such as goodsand services tax, etc. Revenue is only recognised to the extentthat is highly probable a significant reversal will not occur.Customers have the contractual right to return goods only whenauthorised by the company.
Revenue from sale of services are measured at fair value ofthe consideration received or receivable, after deduction ofany sort of discounts and any taxes or duties collected onbehalf of the government such as goods and services taxes.Income from services rendered is recognised based onagreements/arrangements with the customers as the serviceis performed and there are no unfilled obligations.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtainedin the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, weare required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company inaccordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS specified under Section 133of the Act, read with relevant rules issued there under.

unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but todo so. Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standard onAuditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standard on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraudis higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under Section 143(3) (i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management& Board of Director.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors and management's use of the going concern basis of accountingin preparation of financial statement and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a goingconcern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report tothe related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future eventsor conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing ofthe audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
