C. Financial risk management

The Company''s business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market risk and credit risk. The Risk management policies have been established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set and monitor appropriate risk limits and controls, periodically review and reflect the changes in the policy accordingly.

a) Management of liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company''s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities . In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions.

The Company regularly monitors the rolling forecasts and the actual cash flows to service the financial liabilities on a day-to-day basis through cash generation from business and by having adequate banking facilities.

The following table shows the maturity analysis of the Company''s financial liabilities based on contractually agreed undiscounted cash flows along with its carrying value as at the Balance sheet date.

b) Management of Market risk:

The Company is exposed to the following market risks which affects the value of the Financial instruments:

1. Currency risk;

2. Interest rate risk

i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of the changes in foreign exchange rates. As at 31st March, 2023, the net un-hedged exposure to the Company on holding such financial assets and liabilities amounts to Rs. 180.76 Crores.

The Company manages currency exposures by continuously monitoring the Foreign currency rates with the transaction rate and takes steps to mitigate the risk using Forward/ Derivative contracts.

Sensitivity to risk

A 5% strengthening of the INR against foreign currencies to which the Company is exposed (net of hedge) would have led to approximately an additional Gain of Rs. 9.04 Crores in the Statement of Profit and Loss. A 5% weakening of the INR against these currencies would have led to an equal impact but with opposite effect.

ii) Interest rate Risk

Interest rate is the risk that the Fair value of future cash flows of a financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has Rs. 100.88 Crores Borrowings at Floating rate of Interest as at 31st March, 2023 (previous year Rs. 181.40 Crores).

Sensitivity to risk

An increase in interest rate of 1% will likely to affect the profit negatively by Rs. 1.01 crores and a decrease of 1% would have led to an equal impact but with opposite effect.

c) Management of credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if the other party to the financial assets fails to meet its contractual obligations.

i) Trade Receivables:

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited as the customers are predominantly original equipment manufacturers (OEs). All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a quarterly basis. Our historical experience of collecting receivables is that credit risk is low. Refer Note (f) for accounting policy on Financial Instruments.

ii) Other Financial Assets:

The Company has exposure in Cash and cash equivalents and term deposits with banks. The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31st March, 2023 is the carrying value of each class of financial assets as on that date.

Return on Equity and Net profit ratio : The net profit for the year has declined due to additional inspection and rectification work at an overseas customer location and higher interest cost. Decline in the net profit compared to the earlier year is the reason for decline in this ratio.
