FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 1 Market risk

The Company''s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. a Interest rate risk :

The company has investment in fixed deposits. However interest income from fixed deposits is a residuary income and will not affect the significant cash flow of the company. b Foreign currency risk:

Company has nominal amount of foreign currency exposure, hence it will not impact cash flow of the company.

2 Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses financial reliability of customers and other counter parties, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of financial assets. Individual risk limits are set and periodically reviewed on the basis of such information. Financial assists are written off when there is no reasonable expectations of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized as income in the statement of profit and loss. The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables and loan from individual customers based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates. Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends. Based on the historical data, loss on collection of receivable is not material hence no additional provision considered.

Financial Assets are considered to be of good quality and there is no significant increase in credit risk.

Footnotes :

A Proposed dividend

In the financial statements prepared under Previous GAAP, dividend on equity shares recommended by the Board of Directors after the end of reporting period but before the financial statements were approved for issue, was recognized as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period relating to which dividend was proposed.

B Rent deposit given

Under the previous GAAP, Rent deposits given were recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial assets are required to be valued at fair value. Difference between fair value of rent deposits and the carrying value (transaction value) as per Previous GAAP has been recognized as prepaid rent. Consequently, the amount of rent deposits given has been decreased by Rs. 3.20 Lakhs, prepaid rent increased by Rs. 3.18 Lakhs and Total Equity decreased by Rs. 0.02 Lakhs as at 1st April, 2016.The amount of rent deposits has been decreased by Rs. 8.21 Lakhs, prepaid rent increased by Rs. 8.07 Lakhs and Total Equity decreased by Rs. 0.14 Lakhs as at 31st March, 2017.Profit for the year ended 31st March 2017 and total equity as at 31st March 2017 decreased by Rs. 0.12 Lakhs (Net) Due to amortization of prepaid lease rent of Rs. 0.83 Lakhs and is partially off-set by the notional interest income on lease deposit of Rs. 0.71 Lakhs.

C Rent deposits received from tenant :

Under the previous GAAP, Rent deposits taken were recorded at their transaction value. Under Ind AS, all financial liabilities are required to be valued at fair value. Difference between fair value of rent deposits and the carrying value (transaction value) as per Previous GAAP has been recognized as Lease income received in advance. Consequently, the amount of rent deposits received from tenant has been decreased by Rs. 7.08 Lakhs, Lease income received in advance increased by Rs. 6.53 Lakhs and Total Equity increased by Rs. 0.55 Lakhs as at 1st April, 2016.The amount of rent deposits has been decreased by Rs. 4.93 Lakhs and Lease income received in advance increased by Rs. 4.35 Lakhs and Total Equity increased by Rs. 0.58 Lakhs as at 31st March, 2017.Profit for the year ended 31st March 2017 and total equity as at 31st March 2017 increased by Rs. 0.03 Lakhs (Net) Due to amortization of Lease income received in advance of Rs. 2.18 Lakhs and is paritally off-set by the notional interest expense on rent deposits taken of Rs. 2.15 Lakhs.

D Remeasurement of defined benefit plans :

Under Ind AS, such remeasurement benefits relating to defined benefit plans is recognized in OCI as per the requirements of Ind AS 19- Employee benefits. Consequently, the related tax effect of the same has also been recognized in OCI. For the year ended 31st March, 2017, measurement of gratuity liability resulted in a net benefit of Rs. 17.29 Lakhs which has now been removed from employee benefits expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss and recognized separately in OCI. Consequently, tax effect of the same amounting to Rs. 5.72 Lakhs is also recognized separately in OCI. The above changes do not affect Equity as at date of transition to Ind AS and as at 31st March, 2017. However, Profit before tax and profit for the year ended 31st March, 2017 Increased by Rs. 17.29 Lakhs and Rs. 11.58 Lakhs respectively.
