42. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company's financial liabilities comprise mainly of borrowings, trade payables and other payables. The Company's financial assets comprise mainly of investments, cash and cash equivalents, other balances with banks, loans, trade receivables and other receivables.

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities.

The Board ofDirectors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. In performing its operating, investing and financing activities, the Company is exposed to the Credit risk and Liquidity risk.

i) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes. The Company's exposure to market risk is primarily on account of interest rate risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans, borrowings and deposits.

a. 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. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's debt obligations with floating interest rates.

The Company is having current borrowings in the form of working capital, Compulsory Convertible Debentures (CCDs) and current maturities of vehicle loan. There is a fixed rate of interest in case of vehicle loan, Compulsory Convertible Debentures (CCDs) hence, there is no interest rate risk associated with these borrowings. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk associated with working capital facility due to floating rate of interest.

The following analysis is performed for reasonably possible movements in key variables with all other variables held constant, showing the impact on profit before tax. The correlation of variables will have significant effect in determining the ultimate impact of interest rate risk, but to demonstrate the impact due to changes in variables, variables had to be changed on an individual basis. It should be noted that movements in these variables are non-linear The method used for deriving sensitivity information and significant variables have not been changed from the previous period.

As at 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022, Current borrowings (Working capital facility) of ? 157.08 lakhs and ? Nil, respectively, were subject to variable interest rates.

b. Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency). Considering the countries and economic environment in which the Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rates in those countries.

ii) Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counter party will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises from credit exposures from trade receivables, advances given to suppliers (for procurement of goods, services and capital goods), cash and cash equivalent with banks, security deposits and loans.

Trade Receivables and Other Receivables

The credit risk of the Company is managed at a corporate level by the risk management committee which has established the credit policy norms for its customers. The Company expects to continue to derive most of its revenue from the Indian Defence Services under the contracts of the Ministry of Defence (MoD),consequent to which the Company has a negligible credit risk associated with such receivables.

Provision for expected credit losses

As the debtors are predominantly the Government of India (Indian Defence Services, Ministry of Home Affairs), Public Sector Undertakings where the counter-parties have sufficient capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible. Accordingly, impairment on account of expected credit losses is being assessed on a case to case basis in respect of dues outstanding for significant period of time as per the accounting policy. Further, management believes that the unimpaired amounts that are due is collectable in full, based on historical payment behaviour and extensive analysis of customer credit risk.

In a few cases credit is extended to customers based on market conditions after assessing the solvency of the customer and the necessary due diligence to determine credit worthiness. Advance payments are made against bank guarantee which safeguards the credit risk associated with such payments. Impairment losses on financial assets have been made after factoring contractual terms and other indicators.

Financial instruments and cash deposits

The cash and cash equivalent with banks are in the form of short term deposits with maturity period of up to 1 year The Company has a well structured Risk Mitigation Policy whereby there are present limits for each bank based on its net worth and earning capacity which is reviewed on a periodic basis. The Company has not incurred any losses on account of default from banks on deposits.

The credit risk in respect of other financial assets is negligible as they are mostly due from government department/other parties.

Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the top management on an annual basis, and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval of the Company board of directors.

The limits are set to minimize the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through counterparty's potential failure to make payments.

iii) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value.

The Company has an established liquidity risk management framework for managing its short term, medium term and long term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company's exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate funds in cash and cash equivalents. The Company also has adequate credit facilities agreed with banks to ensure that there is sufficient cash to meet all its normal operating commitments in a timely and cost-effective manner

Gearing ratio:

The Company monitors capital using gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Company's policy is to keep the gearing ratio within 50%. In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The Company aims to ensure that it meets the financial covenants attached to the interest bearing loans and borrowings that define the capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been no breaches in the financial covenants of any interestbearing loans and borrowings in the current year

*As at 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022, Gearing Ratio is negative on hence represented as Nil.

1) Mandatory interest payment by the Company for a fixed amount at a fixed future date and this component is treated as a Financial liability - Borrowings (Note-18 & 21). The financial liability is done by measuring the net present value of the discounted cashflows of interest payment. The discount rate we have considered is HDFC Bank's CC Rate of interest which is 8.50% p.a as the same have tenure near to the CCD's.

2) As the holder of the instrument has the option to convert the CCDs into Equity shares on or before 18 months and even in case of holder not exercising the conversion option before 18 months, each CCD's shall be automatically be converted into Equity share of ? 1/- each at a premium of ? 212/- on the last date of the 18 month i.e 24 May 2023 without any action of the investor Hence we have treated this component as a equity and presented the same under "Other Equity" in Note 17.7.
