With regards to other financial assets with contractual cash flows other than trade receivable, management believes these to be high quality assets with negligible credit risk. The management believes that the parties from which these financial assets are recoverable, have strong capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible and accordingly no provision for excepted credit loss has been provided on these financial assets.

The Company operates internationally and exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to US dollar and GBP. The Company is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency values impact the Company exports revenue and purchases from overseas suppliers in foreign currency and foreign currency denominated borrowings.

The exchange rate between Indian Rupee and foreign currencies has impact on results of the Company''s operations. Consequently, the results of the Company''s operations get effected as the Rupee appreciates/depreciates against these foreign currencies.

Foreign currency sensitivity

The foreign exchange rate sensitivity is calculated by the aggregation of the net foreign exchange rate exposure with a simultaneous parallel foreign exchange rates shift in the currencies by 5% against the functional currency of the Company. A 5% appreciation / depreciation of the respective foreign currencies with respect to the functional currency would result in net decrease / increase in the Company''s profit and equity for the fiscal year 2022 and 2021 by 1,745.25 lacs and '' 1,757.81 lacs respectively.

(c) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on short-term rate instruments. The borrowings of the Company are principally denominated in US dollars and GBP with floating rates of interest.

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables), deposits with banks, short term investments, foreign exchange transactions and other financial assets. The Company has adopted a

policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

Trade receivable

* The Company has done functional restructuring, in its pursuit of bringing in more efficiency. This primarily involved reduction in manpower and hence resulted in a one-time cost of '' 56.22 lacs.

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company''s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are wholesale or end-user customer, their geographic location, trade history with the Company. An impairment analysis is performed quarterly. The calculation is based on historical experience/ current facts available in relation to default and delays in collection thereof. The management historical experience of collecting receivables is that credit risk is low. Hence, trade receivables are considered to be a single class of financial assets. Refer note 11 for exposure to trade receivables and note 3 for accounting policy on financial instruments

Financial assets other than trade receivables

With regards to other financial assets with contractual cash flows other than trade receivable, management believes these to be high quality assets with negligible credit risk. The management believes that the parties from which these financial assets are recoverable, have strong capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible and accordingly no provision for excepted credit loss has been provided on these financial assets. Defined limits are in place for exposure to individual counterparties in case of mutual funds schemes. The carrying value of other financial assets other than cash and bank represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk at 31 March 2022 is '' 18,168.74 lacs (31 March 2021 is '' 8,825.09 lacs)

The Company has entered into a series of foreign exchange forward contracts that are designated as fair value hedges. The Company does not use forward covers and currency options for speculative purposes.

During the current year, the Company has earned profits on account of cash flow hedging derivatives amounting to '' 38.55 Lacs. The above profit is included in foreign exchange gain (net) in the statement of profit and loss. All the foreign exchange forward contracts designated as fair value flow hedges along with related forecasted transactions will be matured within the next financial year.

The limits, authorities and monitoring systems are periodically reviewed by management and the Board. The market risk on derivatives is mitigated by changes in the valuation of the underlying assets, liabilities or transactions, as derivatives are used only for risk management purposes.

The US dollar debt is of floating rates (linked to US dollar LIBOR). These exposures are reviewed by appropriate levels of management on a monthly basis.

(d) Counterparty and concentration of credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables), deposits with banks, short-term investments, foreign exchange transactions and other financial assets. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

Trade Receivable

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are wholesale or end-user customer, their geographic location, trade history with the Company. An impairment analysis is performed quarterly on an individual basis for wholesale customers and collectively for large number of end-user customers. The calculation is based on historical experience/ current facts available in relation to default and delays in collection thereof.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the Company’s customer base being large and diverse. The management historical experience of collecting receivables is that credit risk is low. Hence, trade receivables are considered to be a single class of financial assets. Refer note 11 for exposure to trade receivables and note 3 for accounting policy on Financial Instruments.

Financial assets other than trade receivables and derivative financial instruments

With regards to other financial assets with contractual cash flows other than trade receivable and derivative financial instruments, management believes these to be high quality assets with negligible credit risk. The management believes that the parties from which these financial assets are recoverable, have strong capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible and accordingly no provision for excepted credit loss has been provided on these financial assets. Defined limits are in place for exposure to individual counterparties in case of mutual funds schemes. The carrying value of other financial assets other than cash and bank represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk at 31 March 2018 is RS,15,111.63 lacs; 31 March 2017 is RS,16,915.93 lacs.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its management of exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates . The Company does not acquire or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Treasury derivative transactions are normally in the form of forward contracts and these are subject to the Company guidelines and policies.

All derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value through statement of profit and loss, generally based on quotations obtained from bankers. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.

The limits, authorities and monitoring systems are periodically reviewed by management and the Board. The market risk on derivatives is mitigated by changes in the valuation of the underlying assets, liabilities or transactions, as derivatives are used only for risk management purposes.

Non-qualifying/economic hedge

The Company enters into derivative contracts which are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, but provide an economic hedge of a particular transaction risk or a risk component of a transaction. Hedging instruments include forward contracts . Fair value changes on such derivative instruments are recognized in the statements of profit and loss.

a.) VGL ESOP (As Amended) - 2006

Under the VGL ESOP (As Amended) - 2006 (herein referred as ''Plan’), the Compensation Committee decides upon the employees who qualify under the Plan and the no. of options to be issued to such employees. The exercise price of the share options shall be the market price which would be the latest available closing price of the shares on the stock exchange, which records the highest trading volume of the Company’s shares on the date prior to date of meeting of the Compensation committee at which the options are granted. Out of stock option granted, 20% stock option will vest at the end of one year from the date of grant, 30% at the end of the second year and balance 50% at the end of third year. The Company has constituted "Vaibhav Global Employee Stock Option Welfare Trust" to administer & implement various VGL ESOP schemes. The fair value of the share options is estimated at the grant date using a Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the share options were granted. However, the above performance condition is only considered in determining the number of instruments that will ultimately vest. The exercise period for all the options under various tranches is 7 years from the date of vesting.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding as at 31 March 2018 was 7.99 years (31 March 2017: 8.45 years, 31 March 2016: 8.18 years)

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was H294.62 (31 March 2017: H174.89).

The range of exercise prices for options outstanding at the end of the year was H45.30 to H773.20 (31 March 2017: H26.75 to H752.60, 31 March 2016: H26.75 to H752.60)

The following tables list the inputs to the models used for the three plans for the years ended 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017, respectively:

As stated in note 2(a) these are the first financial statements prepared in accordance with Ind AS. For the year ended 31 March 2017, the Company had prepared its financial statements in accordance with Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, notified under Section 133 of the Act and other relevant provisions of the Act (''previous GAAP’).

The accounting policies set out in note 2 have been applied in preparing these financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 including the comparative information for the year ended 31 March 2017 and the opening Ind AS balance sheet on the date of transition i.e. 01 April 2016.

In preparing its opening Ind AS balance sheet as at 01 April 2016 and in presenting the comparative information for the year ended 31 March 2017, the Company has adjusted amounts reported previously in financial statements prepared in accordance with previous GAAP. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its financial statements prepared in accordance with previous GAAP and how the transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS has affected the Company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

Optional exemptions availed and mandatory exceptions

In preparing the financial statements, the Company has applied the below mentioned optional exemption and mandatory exemptions.

A. Optional exemptions availed

1. Business combinations

Ind AS 103 Business Combinations has not been applied to acquisitions of subsidiaries, which are considered businesses under Ind AS that occurred before 01 April 2016. Use of this exemption means that the Indian GAAP carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, that are required to be recognised under Ind AS, is their deemed cost at the date of the acquisition. After the date of the acquisition, measurement is in accordance with respective Ind AS. The Company recognises all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a past business combination. Assets and liabilities that do not qualify for recognition under Ind AS are excluded from the opening Ind AS balance sheet. The Company did not recognise or exclude any previously recognised amounts as a result of Ind AS recognition requirements.

The Company has not applied Ind AS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, retrospectively to fair value adjustments that occurred before the date of transition to Ind AS. Such fair value adjustments are treated as assets and liabilities of the parent rather than as assets and liabilities of the acquiree. Therefore, those assets and liabilities are already expressed in the functional currency of the parent or are non-monetary foreign currency items and no further translation differences occur.

2. Property plant and equipment and intangible assets

As per Ind AS 101 an entity may elect to use carrying values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as on the date of transition to Ind AS (which are measured in accordance with previous GAAP and after making adjustments relating to decommissioning liabilities prescribed under Ind AS 101) if there has been no change in its functional currency on the date of transition.

As permitted by Ind AS 101, the Company has elected to continue with the carrying values under previous GAAP for all the items of property, plant and equipment. The same election has been made in respect of intangible assets also. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment as aforesaid are after making adjustments relating to decommissioning liabilities, if any.

3. Cumulative translation differences

As per Ind AS 101, an entity may deem that the cumulative translation differences for all foreign operations to be zero as at the date of transition by transferring any such cumulative differences to retained earnings.

The Company has elected to avail of the above exemption.

4. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

Ind AS 101 includes an optional exemption that permits an entity to apply the relevant requirements in Appendix C of Ind AS 17 for determining whether an arrangement existing at the date of transition contains a lease by considering the facts and circumstances existing at the date of transition (rather than at the inception of the arrangement).

The Company has elected to avail of the above exemption.

5. Designation of previously recognised financial instruments

Ind AS 101 permits an entity to designate particular investments (other than equity investments in subsidiaries) as at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). Accordingly Company have recognised certain investments as FVTPL on the date of transition.

B. Mandatory exceptions applied

The following mandatory exceptions have been applied in accordance with Ind AS 101 in preparing the financial statements:

1. Estimates

The Company’s estimates in accordance with Ind AS at the transition date to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error. Ind AS estimates as at 01 April 2016 and at 31 March 2017 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP.

As per Ind AS 101, where application of Ind AS, requires an entity to make certain estimates that were not required under previous GAAP those estimates should be made to reflect conditions that existed at the date of transition (for preparing opening Ind AS balance sheet) or at the end of the comparative period (for presenting comparative information as per Ind AS).

The Company’s estimates under Ind AS are consistent with the above requirement. Key estimates considered in preparation of the financial statements that were not required under the previous GAAP are listed below:

- Fair value of financial instrument carried at FVTPL.

- Determination of the discounted value for financial instruments carried at amortized cost.

2. Classification and measurement of financial assets

Ind AS 101 requires an entity to assess classification of financial assets on the basis of the facts and circumstances existing as on the date of transition. Further the standard permits measurement of financial assets accounted at amortized cost based on facts and circumstances existing at

vii. Other comprehensive income

Under Indian GAAP the Company has not presented other comprehensive income (OCI) separately. Hence, it has reconciled Indian GAAP profit or loss to profit or profit or loss as per Ind AS. Further, Indian GAAP profit or loss is reconciled to total comprehensive income as per Ind AS.

viii. Statement of cash flows

The transition from Indian GAAP to Ind AS has not had a material impact on the statement of cash flows.
