Considering the continued losses recorded over the years by the aforesaid subsidiary company, the management has identified that indicators exist that requires the management to test the carrying value of such investment for possible impairment.

As per the valuation methods based on the Discounted Cash Flow and Comparable Company Multiples (Previous year : Discounted Cash Flow method), the fair value of investment and the assumptions considered are as under :

Discount rate - 12.83% (Previous year : 15.90%)

Terminal growth rate - 6.50% (Previous year : 10%)

Based on the above, considering that the fair value is higher than the carrying value, no impairment provision was required to be recorded.

Q09 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(i) Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in

a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values :

a) The carrying amounts of receivables and payables which are short term in nature such as trade receivables, other bank balances, deposits, loans to employees, trade payables, payables for acquisition of non-current assets, demand loans from banks and cash and cash equivalents are considered to be the same as their fair values.

b) The fair values for long term loans, long term security deposits given and remaining non current financial assets were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs.

c) The fair values of long term security deposits taken, non-current borrowings and remaining non current financial liabilities are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs.

d) For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

(ii) Categories of financial instruments

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique :

Level 1 : unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 : directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and Level 3 : inputs which are not based on observable market data.

The Company’s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company’s financial risk management policy is set by the Board. The details of different types of risk and management policy to address these risks are listed below :

The Company’s activities are exposed to various risks vis. Credit risk, Liquidity risk and Market risk. In order to minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, it uses various instruments and follows polices set up by the Board of Directors / Management.

a. Credit Risk :

Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party will cause financial loss to the Company by failing to discharge its obligation as agreed.

Credit risks from balances with banks and financial institutions are managed in accordance with the Company policy. For financial instruments, the Company attempts to limit the credit risk by only dealing with reputable banks and financial institutions having high credit-ratings assigned by credit-rating agencies.

Each division of the Company has specific policies for managing customer credit risk; these policies factor in the customers’ financial position, past experience and other customer specific factors. The Company uses the allowance matrix to measure the expected credit loss of trade receivables from customers.

Based on the industry practices and business environment in which the Company operates, management considers that the trade receivables are in default if the payment are more than 2 years past due.

Trade receivables consists of large number of customers spread across diverse industries and geographical areas with no significant concentration of credit risk. The outstanding trade receivables are regularly monitored and appropriate action is taken for collection of overdue receivables.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach for managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to Company’s reputation. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by the senior management. The Management monitors the Company’s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

Financing arrangements

The Company has sufficient sanctioned line of credit from its bankers / financiers; commensurate to its business requirements. The Company reviews its line of credit available with bankers and lenders from time to time to ensure that at any point of time there is sufficient availability of line of credit to handle peak business cycle.

The Company pays special attention to the net operating working capital invested in the business. In this regard, as in previous years, considerable work has been performed to control and reduce collection periods for trade and other receivables, as well as to optimise accounts payable with the support of banking arrangements to mobilise funds and minimise inventories.

c. 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. Market risk comprises two types of risk : currency risk and interest rate risk.

i. Market Risk - Foreign Exchange

Foreign currency risk is that risk in which 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 a portion of its business is transacted in several currencies and therefore the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its overseas sales and purchases in various foreign currencies. The Company hedges the receivables as well as payables as per policies set by the Management.

The Company is also exposed to the foreign currency loans availed from various banks to reduce the overall interest cost.

ii. Market Risk - Interest Rate

The 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 borrows at variable as well as fixed interest rates and the same is managed by the Company by constantly monitoring the trends and expectations. In order to reduce the overall interest cost, the Company has borrowed in a mix of short term and long term loans.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates on the borrowings at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for whole of the year. A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used for internal review by the key management personnel.
