MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Management of APLAYA CREATIONS LIMITED in its Analysis Report has highlighted the performance and outlook of the Company in order to comply with the requirement of Corporate Governance as laid down in SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. However, investors and readers are cautioned that this discussion contains certain forward looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. GLOBAL OVERVIEW Over all the global economy has witnessed slow growth. Slow growth isn’t just a problem for industrialized economies. Emerging economies are finding it increasingly difficult to maintain the pace of economic expansion they’ve recorded over the past decade. Global growth is projected to accelerate to 2.7 percent this year and further strengthen to 2.9 percent in 2018-19, in line with previous projections. However, the world economy continues to face a number of downside risks. IMF retains India growth forecast at 7.5%. India’s central bank’s boosted rates to contain inflation and allowed the rupee to depreciate to spur exports. If lawmakers don’t deliver on promised changes to make the economy more competitive, however, investor confidence there may sour again. US growth by 0.1 percentage point this year to 2.3% and by 0.4 percentage points to 2.5% in 2018. The International Monetary Fund trimmed its outlook for global economic growth, as anemic output in Europe and Japan hobble the recovery and emerging markets struggle with rising borrowing costs. From a post-crisis low in 2016, growth is strengthening in Emerging and Developing Market Economies (EMDE). A recovery in commodity exporters is being led by some large economies where adjustment to the earlier decline in commodity prices is well advanced. However, some other economies still face longer-than-expected adjustment needs, suggesting that this recovery will be somewhat softer than previously envisioned. In commodity importers, growth is projected to remain solid, as stronger exports offset the impact of diminishing policy support. Despite an easing of short-term macroeconomic pressures in many EMDEs, the longer-term EMDE outlook is constrained by structural headwinds to world trade and slowing productivity growth. Global GDP growth is projected to pick up modestly to around 3.5% in 2018 from just 3% in 2016. The forecast is unchanged since November 2016. The East Asia and Pacific region is projected to grow at 6.2 percent in 2017, and at a slightly lower 6.1 percent on average in 2018-19. Growth in Europe and Central Asia is forecast to accelerate broadly to 2.5 percent in 2017, and to 2.7 percent in 2018, supported by continued recovery among commodity exporters and unwinding of geopolitical risks and domestic policy uncertainty in major economies in the region. Russia is expected to grow at a 1.3 percent rate in 2017 after a two-year recession and by 1.4 percent in 2018. Growth in South Asia region is forecast to pick up to 6.8 percent in 2017 and accelerate to 7.1 percent in 2018, reflecting an expansion of domestic demand and exports. Excluding India, regional growth is anticipated to hold steady at 5.7 percent, rising to 5.8 percent, with growth accelerating in Bhutan, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka but easing in Bangladesh and Nepal. Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean is projected to strengthen to 0.8 percent in 2017 as Brazil and Argentina emerge from recession and rising commodity prices support agricultural and energy exporters. Brazil is forecast to expand 0.3 percent in 2017, with growth expected to pick up to a 1.8 percent rate 2018, while growth in Argentina is projected to expand at a 2.7 percent pace this year. INDIAN INDUSTRIAL OVERVIEW

India will be the fastest-growing economy in 2017. But it is companies who are into production of raw materials, especially yarn besides production and export of garments which have recorded a higher growth in revenues. India’s gross value added (GVA) growth at basic prices will ease in 2017 to about

40

6.6% from around 7% in the 2016 calendar year. A large number of textiles exporters are facing a huge financial crunch due to substantial delay in getting duty drawback since the last five months from all the major ports. Drawback claims remain pending since September 2013 despite persistent follow up efforts made by the exporters, thereby, adversely affecting cash flows. During April-December 2016, trade deficit declined by 23.5 per cent over corresponding period of previous year as contraction in imports were quite higher than fall in exports. During October-December 2016, both exports and imports grew at the rate of 5 per cent, starting a long-awaited recovery. During 2016-17 (April-December) imports declined by 7.4 per cent to US$ 275.4 billion compared to the corresponding period of previous year.

Many new initiatives taken by the Government in the form of Make-in-India, Invest India, Start Up India and e-biz Mission Mode Project under the national e-governance plan are facilitating investment and ease of doing business in the country. Growth rate of industrial sector is estimated to moderate to 5.2 per cent in 2016-17 from 7.4 per cent last fiscal. During April-November 2016, a modest growth of 0.4 per cent has been observed in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) due to strong growth in electricity generation offset by moderation in mining and manufacturing.The eight core infrastructure supportive industries, viz. coal, crude oil, natural gas, refinery products, fertilers, steel, cement and electricity that have a total weight of nearly 38 per cent in the IIP, registered a cumulative growth of 4.9 per cent during April-November, 2016-17 as compared to 2.5 per cent during April-November, 2015-16.

OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS & RISKS The company is mainly exposed to market risk, interest risk, credit risk. However, prudent business and risk management practices followed by the company over the years helps it to manage normal industry risk factors which includes economic/business cycle, fluctuations in the stock prices in the market besides the interest rate volatility. However, the company hopes to improve its performance on the strength of its long experience and its strong emphasis on the fundamentals.

RISKS AND CONCERNS Our revenues and expenses are difficult to predict and can vary significantly from period to period,

which could cause decline in our performance. An economic slowdown or other factors that affect the

economic health of the country may affect our business. Our net income may get reduced if Government

of India slashes the subsidies given. Changes in the policies of the Government of India or political

instability could delay the further liberalization of Indian economy, which could impact our business

prospects. Our client contracts are often conditioned on our performance, which, if unsatisfactory, could

result in lesser revenues.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY: The Company has developed adequate internal control system commensurate to its size and business to

ensure that all assets are safeguarded and protected against any loss from unauthorized use or

disposition and that all transactions are authorized, recorded and reported correctly. Such risks can be

difficult to anticipate and respond to, even for the most seasoned business leaders. The audit committee

reviews the performance of the audit and compliance functions, the effectiveness of controls and

compliances with regulatory guidelines and gives such directions to the management as considered

appropriate.

“Annexure B” to the Independent Auditor’s Report

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the

Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of APLAYA CREATIONS LIMITED.

(“the Company”) as of March 31, 2017 in conjunction with my audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls

based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the

essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).

These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial

controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of

frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of

reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ Responsibility

My responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of

Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on

Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of

Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those

Standards and the Guidance Note require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform

the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

My audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. My audit of internal

financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial

controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The

procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material

misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide

reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A

company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the

58

transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with

generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being

made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3)

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the

possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error

or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control

over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of

compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In my opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system

over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating

effectively as at March 31, 2017, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established

by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered

Accountants of India (ICAI).

1956. Being a Limited Company its shares are listed on Bombay stock exchanges. & The Calcutta Stock Exchange Limited The company caters to domestic markets

only.

2. Significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) to comply with

the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards Rules), 2015 read with Rule 3(2) thereof and the Companies (Accounting

Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. The company is a small and medium-sized company (SMC) as defined in

the General Instructions in respect of Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 2013. Accordingly, the company has complied with the Accounting

Standards as applicable to an SMC. The financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted

in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the previous year. There are no changes in any accounting policies during the year.

2.2 Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported

amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates

used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual

results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known / materialise.

2.3 Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

2.4 Other Income

Interest income is accounted on accrual basis.

2.5 Cash Flow Statement

Cash flow statement is applicable as the company is not a small company as per provisions of section 2(85) of Companies Act, 2013.

69

2.6 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) by the weighted average

number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of

extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted

average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on

the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net

profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have

been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average

market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and

potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus shares, as appropriate.

2.7 Taxes on income

Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is

considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet

when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.

Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are

capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as at the

reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses

are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise such assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised for

timing differences of other items only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these can be

realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally

enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their realisability. "

Current and deferred tax relating to items directly recognised in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

70

2.8 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 can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are

determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect

the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes.
