Financial assets and liabilities measured at Amortized cost:

The fair values of all financial instruments carried at amortized cost are not materially different from their carrying amounts since they are either short-term in nature or the interest rates applicable are equal to the current market rate of interest.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. The Company does not have any financial asset in this measurement category.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, mutual funds, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using this 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. The Company does not have any financial asset in this measurement category.

Valuation techniques used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

- the use of net asset value for mutual funds.

- the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Note 33 - Financial Risk Management

The Company’s activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts are entered to hedge certain foreign currency risk exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments.

This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the impact of hedge accounting in the financial statements.

A. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of incurring a loss that may arise from a borrower or debtor failing to make required payments. Credit risk arises mainly from outstanding receivables from free market dealers, cash and cash equivalents, employee advances and security deposits. The Company manages and analyses the credit risk for each of its new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered.

The Company considers the probability of default upon recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following indicators are incorporated:

- Internal credit rating for free market dealers.

- External credit rating (as far as available for OEMs)

- Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the customer’s ability to meet its obligations

- Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the customer

- Significant changes in the expected performance and behavior of the customer, including changes in the payment status of customers

Macroeconomic information (such as regulatory changes, market interest rate or growth rates) is incorporated as part of the internal rating model.

In general, it is presumed that credit risk has significantly increased since the initial recognition if the payments are more than 120 days past due.

Company has a history of limited write off for doubtful debts. Company on a monthly basis review aging of receivables and rigorous follow-up is performed by credit controller along with the help of key accounts manager. Quality/ breakage claims received from the customer are reviewed and approved by quality manager, accordingly credit memos are issued as per policy of the company. At the end of every month credit memos raised during that month is also reviewed by Chief Financial Officer. Appropriate provision is made for each receivable based on review of supporting documents with credit controller. Any exception is justified and documented.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as company generally invests in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units.

B. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. The Company’s objective is to, at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. The Company’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

a. Financing arrangements

The Company had access to bank overdraft facilities. These facilities may be drawn at any time and may be terminated by the bank without notice.

b. Maturities of financial liabilities

The tables below analyse the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

C. Market risk

Foreign currency risk

1. Foreign currency exposure

Currency risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency sales and purchases, primarily with respect to EUR, USD, CHF and GBP. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company’s functional currency ('').

The risk is measured through a forecast of foreign currency sales and purchases for the Company’s operations. The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure in foreign currency risk.

As of 31st March 2018, the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, expressed in Rs,, is given in the table below. The amounts represent only the financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company.

(All amounts in Rs, Lakhs, unless otherwise stateuj

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. Since the Company does not have any non-current borrowings, it is not exposed to cash flow interest rate risk.

Investment in Mutual Funds:

The Company’s exposure to price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in mutual funds, the group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

NOTE 2- CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to:

- Safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and

- Maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:

Net debt (total borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) divided by Total ‘equity’ (as shown in the Balance Sheet).

The Company’s revenue from external customer attributed to countries other than India are not material. The Company’s non-current assets (other than financial instruments, deferred tax assets, post-employment benefit assets) in countries other than India are not material. Revenue of approximately Rs, 4,381.82 Lakhs (31st March 2017: Rs, 3,744.81 Lakhs) are derived from a single external customer which represents 10% or more of the total revenue for the year ended 31st March 2018 and 31st March 2017.

NOTE 3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

Mar 31, 2010

1. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

1) Post Employment Benefits a) Defined Contribution Plans:

The Company contributes on a defined contribution basis to the Employees Provident Fund and Superannuation Fund (for few eligible

employees) towards post employment benefits, all of which are administered by the respective Government authorities, and has no further obligation beyond making its contribution. The contribution is expensed in the year to which it pertains.

b) Defined Benefit Plans:

Funded Plan: The Company has a Defined Benefit Plan namely Gratuity for all its employees. The liability for the defined benefit plan of Gratuity is determined on the basis of an actuarial valuation by an independent actuary at the year end, which is calculated using projected unit credit method, which is administered through Life Insurance Corporation (LIC).

Actuarial gains and losses which comprise experience adjustment and the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.

2) Other Long Term Employee Benefits

The employees of the Company are entitled to leave as per the leave policy of the Company. The liability in respect of unutilised leave balances is provided based on an actuarial valuation carried out by an independent actuary as at the year end and charged to the Profit and Loss Account.

3. LEASES

Lease Income from Operating Leases are recognised as rent income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

4. TAXATION

a) Current Taxation:

Provision for current taxation is based on the taxable profits of the current accounting year. Adjustments for taxation relating to previous years, if any, are based on the returns filed for the fiscal year ended March 31 and cognizance is taken of assessment/ appeal orders received by the Company.

b) Deferred Taxation:

Deferred tax resulting from timing differences between book and tax profits is accounted for under the Liability method at the current rate of tax to the extent that the timing differences are expected to crystallise/capable of reversal as a deferred tax charge/credit in the Profit and Loss Account and as deferred tax liability/asset in the Balance Sheet.

In cases where there is unabsorbed tax depreciation and unabsorbed losses, deferred tax asset are recongnised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty of their realisation supported by convincing evidence.

5. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the Profit and Loss Account. If at the Balance Sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount.

6. PROVISIONS & CONTINGENCIES

The Company recognizes a provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation but the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made, as required by Accounting Standard 29 on Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

7. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Difference between the actual results and the estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known / materialised.

8) The previous financial statements are for the fifteen months period from January 2008 to March 2009. Hence, previous period figures are not strictly comparable with that of current year.

9) During the previous period, the Company had reassessed the estimated useful lives of certain fixed assets like computers and vehicles. Due to this reassessment, depreciation for the previous period was higher by Rs. 1,386,603 and profit for the previous period before tax was lower by the same amount.

10) During the previous period, management had scrapped certain assets having written down value of Rs. 13,584,750. As a result, there was a charge of Rs. 11,889,852 (net of recovery of Rs. 1,694,898) in the Profit and Loss Account under the head Manufacturing & other Expenses-Loss on Assets sold/written off (net).
