D. Risk Management

The above benefit plans expose the company to actuarial risks such as follows:

Interest rate risk: The defined benefit obligation calculated uses a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, ^ ’ the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase

(ii) Salary inflation risk: Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation

(iii) Demographic risk: This is the risk of variability of results due to unsystematic nature of decrements that include mortality, withdrawal, disability and retirement. The effect of these decrements on the defined benefit obligation is not straight forward and depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate and vesting criteria. It is important not to overstate withdrawals because in the financial analysis the retirement benefit of a short career employee typically costs less per year as compared to a long service employee.

The Company''s business activities expose it to certain financial risks - market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimize those risks, the Company has risk management policies and procedures in place as approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company after due evaluation of key risks facing the business of the Company:

a) Market Risk

The Company''s business of Cultivation, Manufacture and Sale of Tea is primarily agricultural in nature. Moreover, the sale price of Tea is largely determined by the market forces of demand and supply. Thus, adverse weather conditions and uncertain tea market expose it to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows may adversely fluctuate. The Company closely monitors the changes in market conditions and select the sales strategies to mitigate its exposure to various market risks. Other Market risks are as under:

i. Foreign Currency Risk

The Company undertakes significant transactions denominated in foreign currency with its customers in relation to Exports by Rossell Tea Division and 100% EOU of Rossell Techsys Division as well as dealing with Foreign OEMs in relation to Aerotech Services Division. This results in wide exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. Such exchange rate risk primarily arises from transactions made in foreign exchange and reinstatement risks arising from recognized assets and liabilities, which are not in the Company''s functional currency (Indian Rupees). A significant portion of these transactions are in US Dollar, Euro and British Pound Sterling etc.

The Company as Risk Management Policy, hedges its exposure in foreign exchange whenever considered appropriate based on the their perception about such market and reviews periodically its exposure therein to ensure that results from fluctuating currency exchange rate are appropriately managed.

The impact of sensitivity analysis (10% appreciation / depreciation of the foreign currency with respect to functional currency) arising on account of above outstanding foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities would be '' 27.86 Lakhs (31st March, 2021 - '' 399.08 Lakhs).

ii. Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The objectives of the Company''s interest rate risk management processes are to lessen the impact of adverse interest rate movements on its earnings and cash flows and to minimize counter party risks.

The Company is exposed to interest rate volatilities primarily with respect to its borrowings from banks. Such volatilities primarily arise due to changes in Marginal Cost of Lending rates of Banks as well as other economic parameters of the Country. The Company manages such risk by operating with Banks having strong fundaments with comparatively lower Marginal Cost of Lending Rates in the Market.

Interest rate sensitivity

Since the significant amount of borrowings of the Company are short term in nature, the possible volatility in the interest rate is minimal.

b) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may encounter difficulty, including seasonality, in meeting its obligations due to shortage of liquid assets.

The Company mitigates its liquidity risks by ensuring timely collections of its trade receivables, close monitoring of its credit cycle, ensuring optimal movements of its inventories and avoid blockage of working capital in non-productive current assets.

c) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that counter party will not meet its obligations leading to a financial loss to the Company.

The Company has its policies to limit its exposure to credit risk arising from outstanding receivables. Management regularly assess the credit quality of its customer''s based on which, the terms of payment are decided. Credit limits are set for each customer which are reviewed at periodic intervals. The credit risk of the Company is low as the Company sells a significant volume of its Teas through the auction system which is on cash and carry basis. The exports are made mostly to worldwide reputed Corporates like Boeing, Starbucks, and Taylors of Harrogate etc., and otherwise backed by letter or credit or on advance basis.

48. Fair Value measurements Fair value hierarchy

Fair value of the financial instruments is classified in various fair value hierarchies based on the following three levels:

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

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market 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: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The management consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets (other than those measured at fair values) and liabilities recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair value as on the reporting date.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year.

50. Sale/Disposal of Tea Estate

The Company sold/disposed off Bokakhat Tea Estate w.e.f. 1st April, 2021 to Dhansiri Tea Pvt. Ltd. as a going concern. Extraordinary item for the year ended 31st March 2022 represents the profit on sale of Assets pertaining to Bokakhat Tea Estate.

Notes to the Reconciliations

1. Under Previous GAAP, Stock of Black Tea was valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprised of all cost of purchase/ production of green leaf, cost of conversion and other costs in bringing the Stock to its present location. Under Ind AS, while there is no change in the cost of conversion and other costs, the green leaf imputed in Stock of Black Tea has been taken at fair value at the time of harvest, less cost to sell.

2. Under Previous GAAP, stock of Green Leaf harvested was not recognized and corresponding production of Black Tea was being adjusted. Under Ind AS, stock of harvested Green leaf is measured and valued at its fair price at the point of harvest less cost to sell and is classified as Stock of Raw Materials.

3. Under Previous GAAP, Biological Assets (unharnessed Green Leaf on Tea Bushes) was not required to be recognized. Under Ind AS these have been recognized at fair value less cost to sell and change in fair value has been recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

4. The Company had its own Internally Generated Brand by one of its Division and expenses incurred thereon were capitalized under the head Brand and Trademarks as an Intangible Asset under Previous GAAP. Under Ind AS, these expenses are chargeable to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The effect of derecognition of Brand is given effect on the date of transition to Ind AS.

5. Under Previous GAAP, Mark to Market Losses in respect of Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts were not required to be recognized. However, as a prudent accounting practice adopted by the Company, the exchange losses on the reporting date were provided for as part of Finance Cost. Under Ind AS, all Derivative Contracts are stated at fair value. Accordingly, M2M loss has been provided for as on the reporting date.

6. Under Previous GAAP, Replanting Subsidy was recognized as Income in the year of receipt and taken in Statement of Profit and Loss. Under Ind AS, such Government Grant is treated as Deferred Income and credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss on Straight Line Basis over the useful life of the Replanted Section(s) for which it was sanctioned.

7. Under Previous GAAP, investment in Equity instruments were classified as Long Term Investment based on intended holding period and reliability, These were carried at Cost less provision for permanent diminution of value. Under Ind AS, these investments (other than Equity instruments of Associates, Subsidiary and Joint Ventures) are required to be measured at fair value and changes in such fair value routed through Statement of Profit and Loss.

8. In keeping with the requirement of Ind AS 41, expenses incurred on uprooting, replanting and maintenance of young tea are being capitalized as Capital work-in-progress- Bearer Plants. Bearer Plants, thus being self-created assets, interest incurred on the general borrowings, attributable to such creation, qualify for capitalization in accordance with Ind AS 23. Under previous GAAP, there was no such capitalization of this nature was contemplated.

9. Under Ind AS remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets greater/ less than the discount rate are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income instead of Statement of Profit and Loss. Under Previous GAAP, these remeasurements were a charge in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
