Competition is seen in the aroma chemical industry in terms of quality, price and services rendered to the end user. Aroma
chemicals form the building blocks of F&F and are used in a variety of sectors. The competitive edge can be achieved by use
of captive and exclusive ingredient technology that will make ones flavour and fragrance unique and difficult to copy. Cost
control continues to play a very important role if one has to maintain a leading position. The ability to function on a truly
integrated world scale and service globally will be a key in gaining core listing and long-term contracts mutually beneficial to
the aroma chemical houses and the FMCG players. Rising incomes, better education and more awareness will mean a higher
inclination to spend on ‘Quality Lifestyle’ products for home and health, personal grooming and social symbols. The demand
for aroma chemicals will also continue to rise as the processed food market continues to grow. Regular use of flavours and
fragrances in a product is no longer a luxury but a necessity for consumer acceptance. Flavours and fragrances that are novel
will continue to be popular and gain better and faster acceptance.
COMPANY OVERVIEW:
Since 1961, Camphor & Allied Products Ltd. (CAPL) has been a pioneer in the field of Terpene Chemistry in India. The
Company is India’s one of the largest manufacturers of variety of terpene chemicals, camphor and other speciality aroma
chemicals. These aroma chemicals are the basic ingredients used in the manufacturing of fragrances and flavours catering to
FMCG products.
It established the first Synthetic Camphor plant in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh India with technology from Dupont, USA. CAPL has
established manufacturing facilities in Baroda and Bareilly with a total manufacturing capacity in excess of 10,000 TPA,
where they produce Turpentine based chemicals and other aroma chemicals (raw materials for manufacturing of fragrances
and fragrances). The Company had acquired Arofine chemical Industries in 2015, manufacturer of Specialty aroma chemicals
in India.
From the very beginning CAPL has been focused on in-house research and development. “R&D Centre”, established in 1974
to carry out extensive work on Terpene chemistry and has developed several interesting products. In 2016, the company has
set one of its kind synthesis lab in Andheri (Mumbai).
The Company’s vast product range includes Synthetic Camphor, Terpineols, Pine Oils, Resins, Astromusk, perfumery
chemicals, specialty chemicals and several other chemicals finding applications in vast array of industries ranging from
Flavours& Fragrances, Pharmaceuticals, Soaps & Cosmetics, Rubber & Tyre, Paints & Varnishes and many more.
OUTLOOK:
CAPL is one of the leading players in manufacturing of aroma chemicals. The company has different products under its basket
such as Perfumery chemicals, Camphor, Pine oil, Poly-terpene resin, Specialty chemical and so on, which makes company to
remain as one shop solution provider in the aroma chemical industry. Further, constant focus of management to aid a mix of
value added products has reflected an improvement in financial performance over the past few years.
One of the cornerstones of our consistent performance has been the concrete and timely execution of our thought driven
strategies. Innovation for the future has been one of our core competencies for which we have laid emphasis on product
development and we have set up our own R&D team. With the proposed amalgamation of Oriental aromatics Limited with the
Company, we are confident of achieving a strong financial performance in the year to come. We believe that the amalgamation
will result into forward integration of CAPL as a complete F&F player and improvement in overall efficiency of the combined
entity coupled with synergetic benefits.
We believe that CAPL will be one of the key beneficiary of healthy demand of F&F industry which we expect should grow at a
decent pace of 12% over FY17-FY19 on account of
c) deeper penetration of products like scented soaps and shampoos, deodorants and air fresheners in the rural markets of
India.
We are confident of our inherent strengths and are dedicated to meet the expectations of our customers. We are taking a long
term view of the industry and are optimistic to increase turnover and margins from the current position.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS:
Rising disposable incomes and evolving lifestyles of India’s prospering consumer proves pivotal for growth of the aroma
chemical industry. Demand shift for better quality, innovative F&F products and greater demand for packaged and processed
foods make this niche industry play a very critical role in the world. In India, with the growing population, considering the fact
that Young population ~65% below 30 years age and growing working women population to be large consumer of FMCG
products.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017
The enactment of the GST legislation has been a milestone reform that will create a win-win environment for all stakeholders
and heralds an integrated and productive economy, and is expected to further boost economic growth. However, there could
be temporary transition challenges during the cut-over.
The aroma chemical industry today is at the crossroads finding it tough with rising input costs and dropping prices of the
compounded products. However, still there is growth in absolute terms.
The company has committed to be positioned as a global player in the generic specialty aroma chemical space and the trends
driving the market are consumer insights, their taste and preferences. Management believes that the company will be one of
the key beneficiaries of the robust demand scenario in F&F market on account of amalgamation as well as wide product
acceptability.
SEGMENT-WISE OR PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE:
The information of segment-wise or product-wise performance is included in Note No. 28 of Notes on Financial Statements.
RISK AND CONCERNS:
Our Company, like any other enterprise is exposed to business risks which can be internal risks as well as external risks.
One of the key risks faced by the Company in today’s scenario is the fluctuation in the price of raw materials. Pinene based
aroma chemicals account for a significant share of revenues for the company and any significant increase in the prices of raw
material prices will impact the gross margins of the company.
Any slowdown in macro-economic growth of the country will lead to a slowdown in Indian Chemical sector on account of
sluggish consumption led demand. Consequently, this would adversely Indian Chemical industry leading to lower capacity
utilizations for the company and impact the financials of the company.
Besides all the risks specified above, Aggressive pricing from competitors, as a result of worsening global conditions and
tightening regulatory and environmental legislation as well as the renegotiation of the labour contract and reliability of plant
production are the key risks for the Company.
The Company monitors such risk through the oversight of the senior management personnel in each of its business
segments. The Company understands that in order to ensure consistent business growth, it is essential to correctly assess the
potential risk area wise and take necessary steps well in advance so as to mitigate the risk to a large extent before in fact it
becomes a potential hazard.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND ITS ADEQUACY:
The Company has put in place necessary internal control system commensurate with its size and nature of business for
facilitating accurate, reliable and speedy compilation of financial information, safeguarding the assets and interests of the
Company and also ensuring compliance with various laws and rules & regulations thereunder.
The internal control system designed in such a manner where various risks faced by the Company are identified and
assessed. The internal control system provides for well-documented policies, guidelines, authorizations and approval
procedures.
Internal Auditors conduct the audit on a regular basis and remedial measures are taken wherever necessary. The Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors periodically reviews audit plans, observations and recommendations of the internal
auditors as well as of external auditors with reference to significant risk areas, adequacy of internal controls etc.

ANNEXURE B REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH 2 UNDER THE HEADING “REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS” OF OUR REPORT OF EVEN DATE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CAMPHOR &
ALLIED PRODUCTS LIMITED.
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 Camphor & Allied Products Limited (“the Company”)
as of March 31st, 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 (‘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 Act.
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 Act, 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
70
ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017
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 judgment, 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.
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.
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 with the scope of improvement in documentation and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were
operating effectively as at March 31st, 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.
