Corporate Overview

Shaping a Healthy
Future Together
We create the perfect setting for the best sleep and refreshing
comfort through products that are renowned for their
durability, backed by stringent quality control and dedicated
customer support.
Our Key Strengths

 eputation and high brand recall: Sleepwell, the flagship brand of Sheela Foam Limited for mattresses and
R
home comfort accessories, has a very solid reputation in the market for its quality and durability and a
correspondingly high level of brand recall.

Research and development: We have heavily invested in R&D, and this is how we add market-leading value
to every one of our products. Our health-friendly technology Neem Fresche, based on the disinfecting power
of neem, protects users from dust mites that burrow in soft furnishings and trigger allergic reactions such
as skin problems and breathing trouble. Our dedicated team of engineers and scientists not only improve
products and introduce new benefits, but they also ensure round-the-year quality control.

Pan-India presence: Our wide distribution network includes 110 exclusive distributors, more than 11,500
retail dealers, over 7,400 multi-brand outlets, and more than 4,100 exclusive retail dealers.

Customer-centricity: We back-up our outstanding R&D and high quality with a dedicated customer care
team that provides information about new technologies such as Neem Fresche, Comfort Cell, and My
Mattress; helps them choose the best home comfort products based on their needs; and offers excellent
after-sales support.

Promoting Sleepedia: This pioneering initiative raises awareness on that universal need, sound sleep,
by building a community around sleep knowledge. Sleep Talk, Blogs, Your Sleep Story are some of the
features of Sleepedia (accessible through our Company website) that engage people in learning more
and understanding the role of an ideal bedroom and the best quality products in ensuring physical and
psychological wellbeing.

Multi-location manufacturing presence: We have 10 manufacturing units across India - 5 in north; 2 in the
west; 2 in the south; and 1 in the east. We also have 5 manufacturing facilities in Australia through our 100%
subsidiary Joyce Foam. We also have manufacturing facility in Spain through our subsidiary, Interplasp S.L.

Intellectual capital: The Company is professionally managed by the best people in their field, and R&D
is powered by a pool of top talent in science and technology, resulting in a busy pipeline of innovation.

Customer satisfaction: The superior comfort afforded by our Sleepwell range of mattresses is unparalleled.
Features such as ‘Zero Turn’ (no turning of the mattress required to prevent sagging) and ‘Responsive Memory
Foam’ (the foam remembers and responding to how one sleeps) give consumers utmost satisfaction.

International presence: We export our international standard products to 25 countries. Exports largely
comprise high quality technical Foam. With the US Market opening up, post trade barriers with China, the
export of Bed In Box from Company or from its subsidiary in Spain is a strong possibility.

Our IT strength: One of the biggest strength of the Company is its IT and its application across all plants
in India, Australia and Spain, Channel Partners. The Company has won various awards for its innovative
IT applications. IT has enabled the Company in improving overall efficiency in operations, sales, Brand
Protection, and other fields. During the year, the Company has set up a100% subsidiary “Staqo” to provide IT

Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements


for the year ended 31 March, 2020

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

Disclosures of fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments are given below:

The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised 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, 2020. 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, 2020.
(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, GBP, Chinese
Yuan, AED 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:

Note: Figures in bracket represents payables

(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 mainly of interest-bearing
vehicle loans, loans and advances from related parties 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
specialised 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.

(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.

40.16 Investment in Foreign Subsidiaries


a. The Company during the year, through its Wholly Owned Subsidiary Company (WOS) namely, International Foam
Technologies SL, Spain, acquired 93.66% of share capital of a running Company in Spain, namely, Interplasp, SL,
Spain, mainly engaged in manufacturing of Polyurethane Foam, for Euro 40 million, which has been funded by
the Company by Investment of Euro 12 Million in the equity capital of WOS (` 11,352.93 lakhs as at 31 March,
2020 including impact of ` 1714.07 lakhs on fair valuation of the loan given to the WOS, and ` 260.46 lakhs
incurred on incorporation of WOS) and loan of Euro 8 Million to WOS (` 4638.17 lakhs as at 31 March, 2020, net
of impact of ` 1714.07 lakhs on fair valuation) and for the balance Euro 20 Million loan has been taken by WOS
from Citi Bank, Spain, based on Standby Letter of Credit / financial guarantee (of ` 16,998 lakhs as at 31 March,
2020) from Citi Bank, India, secured by exclusive charge on certain fixed assets of the Company.
b. The Company has incorporated a Wholly Owned Subsidiary Company (WOS) namely SleepX US Inc.,
in Delaware, USA during the year w.e.f. 4 October, 2019, for marketing of its products in the market of
USA. Though the said WOS has been incorporated, however, as no share capital has been subscribed or
investment has been made therein, except the expenditure of ` 1.02 lakhs incurred for acquisition, there is
no impact of the same on these financial statements.

40.17 The SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for COVlD-19, which has been declared a Global pandemic by the World
Health Organisation, continues to spread across the globe, and has contributed to a significant decrease in
global and local economic activities, and most of the governments including the Indian Government, had
announced the strict lockdowns across their respective countries as one of the strongest measures to contain
the spread of the virus. The Company keeping in view the said situation, has assessed its future cash flow
projections, recoverability of its assets including trade receivables, investments and inventories etc., and also
held impairment testing of its non-monetary assets including the property, plant and equipment, using the
various internal and external information. Based on this evaluation, the Company expects to recover the carrying
amount of these assets and does not anticipate any impairment to these financial and non-financial assets as
at the date of approval of these financial statements. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will
impact the Company’s future activities and financial statements will depend on future developments which are
highly uncertain, therefore the impact of COVID-19 on the financial statements may differ from that estimated
as at the date of approval of these financial statements.

40.18 The Government of India on 12 December, 2019 vide the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 inserted a new
section 115BAA in the Income Tax Act, 1961 which provides an option to the Company for paying Income Tax at
reduced rates as per the provisions / conditions defined in the said section. The Company has recognised the tax
provision in its books as per the said new tax regime under Section 115BAA, during the current year. Further, the
deferred tax assets / liabilities have also been re-measured at the tax rates in accordance with the said tax regime.

40.19 The previous year’s figures have been re-grouped/re-classified wherever considered necessary.

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 Group 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 Group 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

The management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised 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, 2020. 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, 2020.

(i) Foreign Currency Risk


Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future Group’s 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 Group’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 Group 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, GBP, Chinese
Yuan, AED and AUD exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the group profit
before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities. Foreign currency exposures
recognised by the group 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. The group policy is to minimize interest rate cash flow risk exposure on
long term financing. The group is exposed to changes in market interest rates through bank borrowings at
fixed & variable interest rates.

(iii) Commodity Price Risk


The Group 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 specialised
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 Group has entered into various purchase contracts for these material for which there
is an active market. The Group’s management has developed and enacted a risk management strategy
regarding commodity price risk and its mitigation. The Group partly mitigated the risk of price volatility
by entering into the contract for the purchase of these material and further the Group 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 Group 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 Group’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 Group regularly monitors its outstanding customer receivables.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


for the year ended 31 March, 2020

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 Group does not hold collateral as security.
The Group 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 Group’s finance department
in accordance with the Group’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 Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the balance sheet at 31 March, 2020
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 Group.

(c) Liquidity risk


Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time
or at reasonable price. The Group’s objective is to at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet
its cash and liquidity requirements. The Group 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 Group’s liquidity position through rolling
forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. The Group assessed the concentration of risk with respect to
its debt and concluded it to be very low.

a. The Subsidiary has yet to start its commercial operations.

b. The International Foam Technologies SL, Spain, (the ‘IFTS’) during the year signed with the former owners of
a running company namely Interplasp, SL Spain for the sale of 93.66% of its share capital. Once the closing
actions for transfer of shares were completed, the said contract was released to the public, and IFTS as agreed
in the said act, signed an escrow contract and created a deposit charged to the purchase price amounting to
6,874 thousands euros, which would be released in favor of the sellers after the purchase conditions were
fulfilled, a situation that was pending resolution as on the date of preparation of the consolidated accounts of
IFTS and its subsidiary Interplasp, SL, Spain. In this context, the obtaining of an urban identification document
and the appraisal of part of the land where Interplasp, S.L. carries out its activities is pending, and the said land
has been valued at 3,000 thousand euro in the consolidated accounts of IFTS, despite not having supporting
documentation for quantification of its value, and therefore the value of “Land and buildings” (presently of
3.000 thousand euros) could under go change with correspondence impact on its “Goodwill on consolidation”
(presently 27,553 thousand euros), however, overall there will be no change in the aggregate value of the
same. The said treatment has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group i.e. Sheela
Foam Limited and its Subsidiaries.

c. The Holding Company has also given financial guarantees of ` 18,979 lakhs to the banks towards guarantees
for the loans taken by the foreign Subsidiaries in Spain and Australia.

The Holding Company in the year 2016-17, had lodged an insurance claim towards the fire in its unit at Greater
Noida, and as the management was confident of recovery of the said claim, the loss of ` 1,199.49 lakhs incurred
in the fire was accounted for as “Insurance Claim Receivable”. However, as in-spite of continuous follow up,
there is no concrete evidence / reasonable positive indication of its recovery, the said claim which is lying under
receivable has been written off during the current year and debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss, as
Exceptional Item.

39.17 
The SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for COVlD-19, which has been declared a Global pandemic by the World
Health Organisation, continues to spread across the globe, and has contributed to a significant decrease
in global and local economic activities, and most of the governments including the Indian Government,
had announced the strict lockdowns across their respective countries as one of the strongest measures to
contain the spread of the virus. The Group keeping in view the said situation, has assessed its future cash
flow projections, recoverability of its assets including trade receivables, investments and inventories etc.,
and also held impairment testing of its non-monetary assets including the property, plant and equipment
and goodwill, using the various internal and external information. Based on this evaluation, the Group
expects to recover the carrying amount of these assets and does not anticipate any impairment to these
financial and non-financial assets as at the date of approval of these financial statements. However, the
extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Group’s future activities and financial statements
will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain, therefore the impact of COVID-19 on
the consolidated financial statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these
financial statements.
