MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
World Economy Overview
After a lackluster outturn in 2016, economic activity is projected to pick up pace in 2017 and 2018, especially in emerging market and developing economies. World growth is expected to rise from 3.1 percent in 2016 to 3.5 percent in 2017 and 3.6 percent in 2018. Stronger activity, expectations of more robust global demand, reduced deflationary pressures, and optimistic financial markets are all upside developments.
Economic Overview
With 1.2 billion people and the world's third largest economy in purchasing power parity terms, India's recent growth has been a significant achievement. Since independence in 1947, a landmark agricultural revolution has transformed the nation from chronic dependence on grain imports into an agricultural powerhouse that is now a net exporter of food. Life expectancy has increased, literacy rates have improved, health conditions have improved, and a sizeable middle class has emerged. India is now home to globally recognized companies in pharmaceuticals and steel and information and space technologies, and enjoys a voice on the international stage that is more in keeping with its size and potential. Middleclass have become more health conscious and concerned about lifestyle diseases.
Ayurvedic Industry structure and Developments
Ayurveda is gaining acceptance all over the world. India has attained global prominence for its vast Ayurvedic product range and is emerging as preferred destination for medical tourism. More over Government of India is encouraging and promoting Ayurveda through education and national awareness programmes, Various Ayurvedic manufacturing companies are focussing on developing innovative ayurvedic products and investing in marketing strategies in order to generate awareness and increase their brand value as well as sales. All these factors will drive Ayurvedic products market in the country in coming years. Introduction of ayurvedic nutraceuticals and dietary supplements as well as Ayurvedic cosmetics and skin care products is likely to boost the market in the coming years.
Business and Financial Performance review
Kerala Ayurveda Ltd, was founded in 1945. With an experience over 70 years and through a unique combination of heritage richness and investment in technology, KAL has developed into full spectrum Ayurveda Company, encompassing Academies, Herbal Garden, Products, Clinics, Hospitals, Resorts and Research. The KAL Herbarium which has more than 1500 varieties of plant has won many accolades. Potential for growth in areas of healthcare and beauty care products is high. Ayurvedic therapies are gaining popularity, with more hospitals and clinics, the company will be able to capture this market.
The performance review has been dealt in the Directors Report which forms part of this Annual Report.
Strength & Opportunity
We believe the following are our competitive opportunities:
?Strong R&D Capability, many new products under development. Develop medicines which can provide relief to medical conditions for which Allopathy medicines do not provide much relief.
?Have fully integrated GMP manufacturing facility to manufacture both classical and proprietary ayurvedic formulations in the most hygienic condition and strict adherence to prescribed norms.

Future Outlook

Our focus is to launch new products in convenient format to meet the demand of modern times.
Also the National Rural Health Mission has a declared policy of promoting 'Pluralistic Healthcare' by involving, alongside the allopathic system, the AYUSH systems, including local health traditions in its operational mission. Insurance companies have started accepting Ayurveda Treatments under insurance claims.
Risks & Concerns and Threats
The market has both organized and unorganized players, the capability and the strengths differ but both are classified under Ayurveda industry so the organized sector has to work hard to maintain the parameters so that the high standards are maintained and customers should not lose faith in the practice.
However, we have demonstrated excellence in quality of our medicines and KAL is well positioned in the market for quality products. We rely on repeat business based on the strength of our client relationship and a major portion of our revenue comes from key clients. Initiatives are focused on improving client relationship.
Major threats for Ayurveda industry are regulatory concerns, consumer perceptions and competition. The regulatory agencies all over the world are focusing on the Quality, efficacy, safety and standardization of herbal medicines. Your company has been working in this area

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company's preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit.

Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we 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. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls system over financial reportingMeaning 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 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 our 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 onthe 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

Annexure A
Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the
Companies Act, 2013
We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Kerala Ayurveda Limited (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2017 in conjunction with our 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.
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
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our 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 we 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.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our 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.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 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 transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
Kerala Ayurveda Ltd.
69
(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 our 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 onthe 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
Other Matters
Our aforesaid report under section 143 (3) (i) of the act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls over financial reporting insofar as it relates to one subsidiary Company, Incorporated in India ,is based on the corresponding reports of the auditors of such Companies incorporated in India.

Building 30
Office Equipments 5
Computers & Peripherals 3
Vehicles 8
Furnitures & Fittings 10
1.4 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the accounting standards generally accepted in India requires the management to make estimates that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statement and reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ from estimates.
1.5 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that has necessarily taken substantial period of time to get ready for intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.
1.6 Good Will
Good will arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Groups interest in the net value of identifiable assets, Liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary recognized at the date of acquisition. Good will is initially recognized as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
1.7 Inventories
Raw materials, consumables and work-in-progress are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Stores and Spares are valued at cost.
1.8 Revenue Recognition
Sales are net of rebate and discount and include excise duty and VAT. Treatment income & Consulting charges is recognized on completion of each service & consultation and research/healthcare consultancy income is recognized on accrual basis
1.9 Transactions in Foreign Exchange
Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency assets and liabilities at the year end are translated into rupees at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of balance sheet. All exchange differences are dealt with in the statement of profit and loss account.
1.10 Employee Benefits / Retirement Benefits.
· Leave Encashment Benefit accounted on the basis that such benefits is payable to employees at the end of the year.
· Gratuity Provision is made based on estimated value basis.
· Provident Fund contribution is as per the rate prescribed by the related Act.
1.11 Research & Development.
Revenue expenditure on research and development is charged to Profit & Loss account. Capital expenditure on research and development is included as a part of fixed assets and depreciated on the same basis as other fixed assets.
1.12 Investments
Investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution other than temporary in their values.
1.13 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recognized on the basis of the future economic benefits that will flow to the enterprise. The assets are recorded at the price paid to acquire them.
1.14 Impairment of assets
Impairment loss if any, is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is higher of an asset's net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of useful life.
1.15 Provision for Tax
Income tax and Deferred tax provision for the year is made after taking into consideration benefits admissible under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax resulting from 'timing difference' between book and taxable profit is accounted by using the tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted on the Balance Sheet date. The deferred tax asset is recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that the asset will be realised in future.
1.16 Earnings Per Share
The basic and diluted earnings per share (E P S) is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the year by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
