NOTE - 48| FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company''s business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, namely credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and commodity risk. The Company''s senior management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company''s risk management framework. The Company has constituted a Risk Management Committee which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company''s risk management policies. The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Audit Committee of the Company. The Company''s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company''s activities.

The Risk Management Committee of the Company is supported by the Finance team and experts who provide assurance that the Company''s financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives. The activities are designed to protect the Company''s financial results and position from financial risks, maintain market risks within the acceptable parameters while optimising returns and protect the Company''s financial investments while maximising returns.

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle the obligation as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Customer wise limits are set accordingly.

The Company considers the probability of default of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through each reporting year. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of default occurring on asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forward-looking information such as:

(i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business

(ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty

(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty''s ability to meet its obligations.

(iv) Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty.

The Company categorises financial assets based on the assumptions, inputs and factors specific to the class of financial asset into High-quality assets, negligible credit risk; Quality assets, low credit risk; Standard assets, moderate credit risk; Substandard assets, relatively high credit risk; Low quality assets, very high credit risk; Doubtful assets, credit impaired.

Financial assets are written off only when there are no reasonable expectations of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. The Company considers a loan or receivable for write off review when it pasts greater than one year from due date. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company continues engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimise the Company''s position with regards to interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.

Market risk - Foreign currency risk

The Company operates internationally and large portion of the business is transacted in several currencies. Consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales in overseas and purchases from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. Exports of the Company are significantly higher in comparison to its imports. As a policy the Company does not cover the foreign exchange requirements for its imports and the same is managed from the export earnings in foreign currency. Foreign currency exchange rate exposure for exports is managed by prudent hedging policy.

Commodity Risk

Principal raw material for Company''s products are metal scrap and ferro chrome. Company sources its raw material requirement from domestic and international markets. Domestic market price generally remains in line with international market prices. Volatility in metal prices, currency fluctuation of rupee viz a viz other prominent currencies coupled with demand-supply scenario in the world market affect the effective price of scrap and ferrous metal. Company effectively manages availability of material as well as price volatility through:

(i) widening its sourcing base;

(ii) appropriate contracts with vendors and customers and commitments;

(iii) well planned procurement and inventory strategy.

No funds have been advanced or loaned or invested (either from borrowed funds or share premium or any other sources or kind of funds) by the Company to or in any other person(s) or entity(ies), including foreign entities ("Intermediariesâ) with the understanding, whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Intermediary shall lend or invest in party identified by or on behalf of the Company (Ultimate Beneficiaries).

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Ind AS 115 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from the contracts with its customers and replaces Ind AS 18 Revenue and Ind AS 11 Construction Contracts. The Company has adopted Ind AS 115 prospectively whereby the effect of applying this standard is recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 April 2018). Accordingly, the comparative information i.e. information for the year ended 31 March 2018, has not been restated. Additionally, the disclosure requirements in Ind AS 115 have not been applied to comparative information.

The impact of transition to Ind AS 115 on retained earning as at 1 April 2018 is not significant and hence no disclosures have been provided in this regard.

B. Denned benefit plans

Gratuity: The employeesâ gratuity fund scheme is a defined benefit plan managed by a Trust. The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

(i) Risks associated to the defined benefit plans:

a. Actuarial risk: Risks due to adverse salary growth / Variability in mortality and withdrawal rates.

b. Investment risk: Risks due to significant changes in discount rate during the inter-valuation period.

c. Liquidity risk: Risks on account of Employees resign/retire from the Company and as result strain on the cash flow arises.

e. Legislative risk: Risks of increase in the plan liabilities or reduction in plan assets due to change in legislation.

The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined considering several applicable factors, mainly the composition of plan assets held, assessed risks, historical results of return on plan assets and the Companyâs policy for plan assets management.

C. Other long-term employee benefits

Leave encashment: The present value of obligation is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method, which recognises each period of service as giving rise to additional unit of employee benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to buildup the final obligation.

Notes:

(i) Most of the issue of litigation pertaining to Central Excise/ Service tax / Income tax are based on interpretation of the respective law & rules thereunder. Management has been opined by its counsel that many of the issues raised by revenue will not be sustainable in law as they are covered by judgements of respective judicial authorities which supports its contention. As such no material impact on the financials of the Company is envisaged.

(ii) Sales tax/Central Sales tax related litigation/demand primarily pertains to non submission of required declaration forms in time due to non-receipt of the same from customers and / or some interpretation related issues. However in most of the cases, required documents are being filed and given in minor impact if any, shall be the year of final outcome of respective matter in appeal.

(iii) The Honâble Supreme Court of India vide its order dated 28 February 2019 held thatâ Basic Wagesâ for the contribution towards Provident Fund (PF) should only exclude [in addition to specific exclusions under Section 2(bXii) of the Employees Provident Fund Act, 1952]:

a) amounts that are payable to the employee for undertaking work beyond the normal work which he/she is otherwise required to put in; and

b) allowances which are either variable or linked to any incentive for production resulting in greater output by an employee and that the allowances are not paid across the board to all employees in a particular category or were being paid especially to those who avail the opportunity.

With reference to the aforesaid judgment, the Companyâs management is of the view that there is considerable uncertainty around the timing, manner and extent in which the judgment will be interpreted and applied by the regulatory authorities. The Companyâs management is of the view that any incremental outflow in this regard can only be determined once the position being taken by the regulatory authorities in this regard is known and the management is able to evaluate all possible courses of action available. Accordingly, no provision has been currently recognised in the standalone financial statements in this regard.

NOTE - 3 ARBITRATION MATTER

NOTE - 5 LEASE TRANSACTIONS

The operating lease arrangements are cancellable subject to the stipulated notice period which generally does not exceed 3 months. Thus, management is of the view that there is no right to receive or obligation to pay the agreed lease rentals in case of termination.

NOTE - 6 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Companyâs business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, namely credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and commodity risk. The Companyâs senior management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Companyâs risk management framework. The Company has constituted a Risk Management Committee which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Companyâs risk management policies. The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Audit Committee of the Company. The Companyâs risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Companyâs activities.

The Risk Management Committee of the Company is supported by the Finance team and experts who provide assurance that the Companyâs financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Companyâs policies and risk objectives. The activities are designed to protect the Companyâs financial results and position from financial risks, maintain market risks within the acceptable parameters while optimising returns and protect the Companyâs financial investments while maximising returns.

Credit risk

(ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty

(iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterpartyâs ability to meet its obligations.

(iv) Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty.

Financial assets are written off only when there are 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 recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. The Companyâs treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Companyâs net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

Note: Guarantees issued by the Company aggregating to Rs.2,076.07 lakhs (previous year: Rs.1,954.29 lakhs) on behalf of subsidiaries are with respect to borrowing limits obtained by the respective entity. These amounts will be payable on default by the concerned entity. As of the reporting date, none of the subsidiary have any outstanding borrowing and hence the Company does not have any present obligation to third parties in relation to such guarantees.

Market risk - interest rate

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. In order to optimise the Companyâs position with regards to interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.

Market risk - Foreign currency risk

Derivative financial instruments

Commodity Risk

Principal raw material for Companyâs products are metal scrap and ferro chrome. Company sources its raw material requirement from domestic and international markets. Domestic market price generally remains in line with international market prices. Volatility in metal prices, currency fluctuation of rupee viz a viz other prominent currencies coupled with demand-supply scenario in the world market affect the effective price of scrap and ferrous metal. Company effectively manages availability of material as well as price volatility through:

(i) widening its sourcing base;

(iii) well planned procurement and inventory strategy.

Risk committee of the Company has developed and enacted a risk management strategy regarding commodity price risk and its mitigation.

(B) Capital Management

NOTE - 7 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable input).

# Investments in subsidiaries classified as equity investments and investment in government securities have been accounted at historical cost. Since these are scope out of Ind AS 109 for the purposes of measurement, the same have not been disclosed in the above table. Investments in unquoted equity shares of entities other than subsidiaries have been designated as FVTPL and such investment upon sale is only going to fetch the principle amount invested and hence the management considers cost and fair value to be the same.

NOTE â 8 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (âCSRâ) EXPENSES
