6.3 For the year ended March 31, 2021: The Company through its wholly-owned step-down foreign subsidiary, namely, Aptech Investment Enhancer Limited ("AIEL"), had invested an amount of ' 10,813.21 Lakhs in equity instruments of BJBC-China ('the Investee Company'). In the absence of availability of audited financial statements of BJBC-China to its investors since 2014, the step-down Subsidiary jointly with other majority shareholders filed appropriate petitions in the jurisdictional Court and obtained orders. Thereafter, the Petitioners, have not been in a position to get the order so obtained executed in the People's Republic of China, where the investee company is situated. Considering improper corporate governance, possible gross breaches of fiduciary duties with respect to the management of its key assets, and notably a significant reduction in the cash balance, lack of transparency and non-cooperation with officers of the Court (Inspectors) and the Court, etc. AIEL was legally advised that their investments in BJBC-China is fully impaired. In the light of the legal advice and in the absence of availability of any estimate of fair value, the management of AIEL, by not considering the cost to be the appropriate estimate of fair value and considering the conditions of uncertainty and having regard to the principle of prudence, had recognised the provision for diminution in the value of investments as impairment to the extent of carrying value of investments in BJBC-China of ' 10,813.21 Lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2021. Consequently, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, namely, Aptech Venture Limited ("AVL") had recognised the provision for diminution in the value of investments as impairment to the extent of the carrying value of its investments in AIEL of ' 2,135.73 Lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2021. Accordingly, the management of the Company had also recognised the provision for diminution in the value of investments as impairment to the extent of the carrying value of its investments in AVL of ' 2,135.66 Lakhs for the year ended March 31, 2021.

Accordingly, based on a harmonious reading of Ind AS 109 and the break-up requirements under Schedule III, the disclosure for all such Trade Receivables is made as shown above.

11.2 In determining the allowances for credit losses of Trade Receivables (as also for Unbilled Revenue), the Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for Trade Receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and rates used in the provision matrix. The Company estimates mostly the following matrix at the reporting date.

13.1 Cash at banks earns interest at floating rates based on time deposit rates. Short-term deposits are made for varying periods of between three months and twelve months, depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Company, and earn interest at the respective short-term deposit rates.

13.4 There is no repatriation restriction with regard to Cash and Cash Equivalents as at the end of the current year and previous year.

15.1 Unbilled Revenue is revenue that is yet to be invoiced for services already delivered. The budgeted efforts have been expended (and therefore the revenue has been recognised) and yet, no invoice has been raised. While this could happen due to several reasons, the most common one is the customer delay in acceptance of the deliverables and in rare cases non-acceptance.

15.2 Bank deposits (remaining maturity of less than 12 months) as of March 31, 2022 include restricted balances of ' 400 Lakhs (Previous Year: Nil). The restriction are primarily on account of cash and bank balances held as margin money deposits against bank guarantees and overdraft facility.

Risk exposure and Asset Liability Matching

Provision of a defined benefit scheme poses certain risks, some of which are detailed hereunder, as companies take on uncertain long-term obligations to make future benefit payments.

1. Liability Risks

a. Asset-liability Mismatch Risk -

Risk which arises if there is a mismatch in the duration of the assets relative to the liabilities. By matching duration with the defined benefit liabilities, the Company is successfully able to neutralize valuation swings caused by interest rate movements. Hence companies are encouraged to adopt asset-liability management.

b. Discount Rate Risk -

Variations in the discount rate used to compute the present value of the liabilities may seem small, but in practice can have a significant impact on the defined benefit liabilities.

c. Future Salary Escalation and Inflation Risk -

Since price inflation and salary growth are linked economically, they are combined for disclosure purposes. Rising salaries will often result in higher future defined benefit payments resulting in a higher present value of liabilities especially unexpected salary increases provided at management's discretion may lead to uncertainties in estimating this increasing risk.

2. Unfunded Plan Risk

This represents unmanaged risk and a growing liability. There is an inherent risk here that the Company may default on paying the benefits in adverse circumstances, funding the plan removes volatility in company's financials and also benefit risk through return on the funds made available for the plan.

Note: The obligation of Leave Encashment is provided on the basis of actuarial valuation by an independent valuer and the same is unfunded. The amount recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year is ' 39.53 Lakhs (Previous year : ' 70.83 Lakhs)..

26.1 Advance collections are recognised when payment is received before the related performance obligation is satisfied. This includes advance received from the customer towards event fees, course-ware fees, etc. Revenue is recognised as the related services are performed, that is on completion of performance obligation. Considering the nature of business of the Company, the above contract liabilities generally materializes as revenue within the same operating cycle.

26.2 During the year, 111 franchise centres have been converted from royalty fees to student delivery based service model. The unearned revenue of the Company includes an amount of ' 435.85 received towards advance from the students for which the services yet to be delivered.

27.2 Reconciliation of revenue recognised in the Statement and Profit and Loss with the contracted price

The company did not have any volume discounts, service level credits, performance bonuses, price concessions, incentives, etc and hence there is no reconciliation required.

27.3 With effect from April 1, 2021, in a phased manner, the Company has commenced student centric performance obligation from existing franchisee led business model of its franchise centers in the Domestic Retail segment (except Aptech International Pre-school) and act as Business Partners. Accordingly, during the year, 111 franchise centers have been converted from royalty fees to student delivery based service that has impact of reflecting higher revenue of the Company. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the impact of such conversion is ' 801.51 Lakhs as reflected in revenue from Training and Education Services (Previous Year: Nil).

27.4 Refer Note no. 44.2 regarding assets and liabilities, income and expenses of the institutional segment included under continuing operations.

Liabilities for gratuity and leave encashment at the end of tenure has not been considered for calculation of Managerial Remuneration as per Section IV of Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013.

31. Share-Based Payment to Employees

Employee Option Scheme 2021 :

The Members of the Company at its Annual General Meeting held on July 1, 2021 approved the Aptech Limited -Employee Stock Option Plan 2021 . The Aptech Limited -Employee Stock Option Plan 2021 is designed to provide incentives to eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, the details of which are given here under:

** The Company granted 212,073 Stock options to its employees under Aptech Limited - Employee Stock Option Plan 2021 (ESOPs) to vest on fulfilling certain conditions at the end of 2nd, 3rd and 4th Year from the date of grant and accordingly, has been recognising compensation expenses of such options under 'Employees Benefits Expenses' as 'Share Based payment to Employees'. During the previous financial year ended March 31, 2022, the Company estimated that 25,262 ESOPs would not vest and accordingly, compensation expense for quarter and year ended March 31, 2022 reflect net of expense.

* The Company granted 44,32,620 Stock options to its employees under Aptech Limited - Employee Stock Option Plan 2016 (ESOPs) to vest on fulfilling certain conditions at the end of 3rd, 4th and 5th Year from the date of grant and accordingly, has been recognising compensation expenses of such options under 'Employees Benefits Expenses' as 'Share Based payment to Employees'. During the previous financial year ended March 31, 2022, the Company estimated that 1,29,120 ESOPs would not vest and accordingly, compensation expense for quarter and year ended March 31, 2022 reflect net of expense.

The Company had paid Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) under the provisions of Income-tax Act, 1961 in earlier years for which the Company is entitled to MAT Credit and is allowed to be carried forward the same to be available for set off against the future tax liabilities. Considering reasonable certainty of the estimation of future profits, the Company had recognised MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent of ' 1,492.00 Lakhs during the year ending March 31, 2022 thereby amounting to total MAT Credit of ' 2,381.61 Lakhs as at March 31, 2022, out of which ' 310.53 Lakhs was utilized during the year. The said MAT Credit entitlement, then recognised, being unused tax credit, is reflected as a deferred tax asset (DTA) to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which such unused tax credits can be utilised. As on March 31, 2022, the Company has not recognised DTA of ' 1,491.44 Lakhs (Previous year: ' 2,983.44 Lakhs) for unused tax credit in the form of MAT Credit Entitlement.

Since it is not probable that the Company would have future taxable profits against which unused tax losses in the form of long-term capital losses could be set off and accordingly, no DTA is recognised against long-term capital loss of ' NIL (Previous Year : ' 69.78 Lakhs).

Fair Value of Financial Assets measured at amortised cost:

i. Financial Assets measured at amortised cost:

The Carrying amounts of Trade and Other Receivables and Cash and Cash equivalents are cosndered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short term nature. The Carrying amounts of loans are considered to be close to their fair values."

ii. Financials Liabilities measured at amortised cost:

The Carrying amount of Trade and Other Payables are considered to be the same as their fair values due to their short term nature.

Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised 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 accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath the table :

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, traded bonds and units of mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments (including bonds) which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The units of mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV

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: I f 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 unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.

Valuation techniques used to determine Fair Value

Specific Valuation Techniques used to value financial instruments include:

• the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.

The fair values of all financial instruments carried at amortised 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.

36.1 Comparable Companies Multiples Method (CCM): An approach that entails looking at market quoted price of comparable companies and converting that into the relevant multiples. The relevant mulitple after adjusting for factors like size, growth, profitability, etc is applied to the elevant financial parameter of the subject company.

37. Financial Risk Management

The Company's activities expose it to business risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance, the Company's risk management is carried out by a corporate treasury and corporate finance department under policies approved by the board of directors and top management. Company's treasury identifies, evaluates and mitigates financial risks in close cooperation with the Company's operating units. The board provides guidance for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas.

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, 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. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk, whether through exposure to individual customers, specific industry sectors and/or regions.

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assess financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.

The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis through out each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the Company compares the risk of default occurring on asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive looking forward information such as:

i. Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business,

ii. Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty,

iii. Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty's ability to meet its obligations,

iv. Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of the third party guarantees or credit enhancements.

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectations of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. Where loans or receivables have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables and loan from individual customers based on historical trend, industry practices and the business environment in which the entity operates.Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience and past trends. Based on the historical data, loss on collection of receivable is not material hence no additional provision considered.

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.

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

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 and MYR. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company's functional currency (INR).

The risk is measured through a forecast of foreign currency sales and purchases for the Company's operations.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk, expressed in INR, 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.

D. 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. The Company has not used any interest rate derivatives.

1. Exposure to interest rate risk

The Company's deposits and Investments are all at fixed rate and carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because a change in market interest rates.

2. Price risk exposure

Price risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market traded price. Price risk arises from financial assets such as investments in equity instruments and mutual funds. The Company is exposed to price risk arising mainly from investments in equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI. As at March 31, 2022, the carrying value of such equity instruments recognised at FVTOCI amounts to ' 283.00 Lakhs (Previous year ' 345.45 Lakhs). The details of such investments in equity instruments are given in Note 6.

39. Disclosure persuant to Ind AS 108 on ‘Operating Segment’

The Company's Managing director (MD) have been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker. He examines the performance of the Company on an entity level. The Company has two Operating segment i.e. 'Retail' and ' Institutional'. Thus, the segment revenue, segment results, total carrying value of segment assets and segment liabilities, total costs incurred to acquire segment assets, total amount of charge of depreciation during the year are all reflected in the financial statements as at and for the Year ended March 31, 2022.

A. Revenue of ' 5,42757 lakhs (Previous year: Nil), are derived from single external customer, which exceeds ten percent of the Company's total revenue under Institutional Segment

B. The Company reportable segments are organised based on the type of customers offered by these segments.

C. Basis of identifying operating segments, reportable segments, segment profit and definition of each reportable segment:

i. Basis of identifying operating segments: Operating segments are identified as those components of the Company

a. That engage in business activities to earn revenues and incur expenses (including transactions with any of the Company's other components);

b. Whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company's Executive Management to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment and for which discrete financial information is available;

c. The Company has two reportable segments as described under "Segment Composition" as Retail & Institutional. The nature of services offered by these businesse are different and are managed separately given the different sets of technology and competency requirements.

ii. Reportable segments : An operating segment is classified as reportable segment if reported revenue (including inter-segment revenue) or absolute amount of result or assets exceed 10% or more of the combined total of all the operating segments.

iii. Segment profit : Performance of a segment is measured based on segment profit (before interest and tax), as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Company's Executive Management.

The Company does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have a materially adverse effect on its financial results.

41.2 Other money for which the Company is contingently liable :

Though a review petition filed against the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India of February 2019 on Provident Fund (PF) on inclusion of allowances for the purpose of PF Contribution has been set aside, there are interpretative challenges, mainly for estimating the amount and applicability of the decision retrospectively.
