3. Financial instruments - fair value and risk management

Fair value hierarchy

The section explains the judgment and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are:

a) recognized and measured at fair value

b) measured at amortized cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements.

To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the Indian Accounting Standard.

Accounting classification and fair value

The following table shows the carrying amount and fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities:

Investment in equity shares are not appearing as financial asset in the table above being investment in subsidiaries and associates accounted under Ind AS 27, Separate Financial Statements which is scoped out under Ind AS 109.

Fair value hierarchy

Level 1: Level I hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes investment in equity, preference securities, mutual funds and debentures that have quoted price.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for investment in unquoted preference securities and non-convertible debentures included in level 3.

Fair valuation method

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:

A. Financial Assets:

Loans, Trade receivables, Cash and cash equivalents and other assets: Fair value of all these financial assets are measured at balance sheet date value, as most of them are settled within a short period and so their fair value are assumed to be almost equal to the balance sheet date value.

B. Financial Liabilities:

1. Borrowings: It also includes cash credit and overdraft facilities, working capital loan and bill discounting facilities. These short-term borrowings are classified and subsequently measured in the financial statements at amortized cost. Considering that the interest rate on the loan is reset on a monthly/quarterly basis, the carrying amount of the loan would be a reasonable approximation of its fair value.

2. Trade payables and other liabilities: Fair values of trade and other liabilities are measured at balance sheet value, as most of them are settled within a short period and so their fair values are assumed to be almost equal to the balance sheet values.

4. Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

- Credit risk ;

- Liquidity risk ; and

- Market risk.

Risk management framework

The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company’s 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 Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company.

i.) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company, if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The carrying amount of financial asset represent the maximum credit exposure.

Trade and other receivables

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by its customers. However, the management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base.

The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information, industry information and in some cases bank references.

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk from trade receivables by establishing a maximum payment period of one to three months for customers. The Company does not have trade receivables for which no loss allowance is recognized because of collateral.

Expected credit loss assessment for corporate customers as at 1 April 2016, 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2018 are as follows:

The Company uses an allowance matrix to measure the expected credit loss of trade receivable from customers.

Based on industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates, the management considers that trade receivables are in default (credit impaired) if the payments are more than 360 days past due.

Movement in allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables

The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade and other receivables during the year was as follows.

ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

Management monitors rolling forecast of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between cash outflow and inflow. Usually, the excess of funds is invested in fixed deposit. This is generally carried out in accordance with practice and limits set by the Company. The limits vary to take into account the liquidity of the market in which the Company operates.

The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities as at 3I March 20I8, 3I March 20I7 and I April 20I6. The amounts are gross and undiscounted contractual cash flow and includes contractual interest payment and exclude netting arrangements:

(Amount in INR, unless otherwise stated)

iii) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

a) Foreign Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currency of the Company.

Exposure to currency risk

The summary quantitative data about the Company’s exposure to currency risk as reported to management is as follows:

Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the foreign currencies against INR at 3I March 20I8 and 3I March 20I7 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in foreign currency and affected equity and profit and loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain

b) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk 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 Company’s does not have any borrowings which exposes it to interest rate risk.

5 Capital management

For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, convertible preference shares, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maximize the shareholder value and to ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has not distributed any dividend to its shareholders. The Company monitors gearing ratio i.e. total debt in proportion to its overall financing structure, i.e. equity and debt. Total debt comprises of non-current borrowing which represents liability component of Convertible Preference Shares and current borrowing from ultimate holding company of the Company. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

The prescribed CSR expenditure required to be spent in the year 20I7-I8 as per the Companies Act, 20I3 is Nil, in view of average net profits of the Company being Nil (under section I98 of the Act) for last three financial years.
