2. Change in Interest Rate
The Company being a debt free Company is not exposed to Interest rate risks.
NOTE : 41Financial Risk Management
The Company's activities expose it to variety of financial risks viz. commodity price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, capital risk and foreign currency risk. These risks are managed by the senior management of the Company supervised by the Board of Directors to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.
Commodity Risk:
International pricing and demand / supply risk are inherent in the import of styrene monomer, the main raw material. The Company enters into procurement contracts for import of styrene monomer on annual basis. The contracts specify the quantity and attributes for arriving at monthly pricing. However, a part of the requirement is sourced on spot basis so as to float with current price in the market and to guard against price volatility. The Company has also linked part of its sales to raw material prices so that the Company has adequate cushion to protect its margin in the event of any increase / decrease in raw material costs.
Credit Risk:
Credit risk from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and bank deposits is considered insignificant in view of the creditworthiness of the banks the Company works with. The Company has specific policies for managing customer credit risk on an ongoing basis; these policies factor in the customer's financial position, past experience and other customer specific factors.
Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the company. In any case all doubtful debts over 18 months are provided for 100% under ECL working or written off. When loans or receivables have either been provided for or written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due. When recoveries are made, these are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.
Liquidity Risk:
The Company needs to ensure that at all times, it meets its payment obligations on time. The table below summarises the Company's liquidity position and its preparedness for likely variations in the liquidity:
The Company is debt free (except amortised value of right to use assets taken on lease) and has, adequate liquidity as detailed above, to meet any exigencies. In addition to the undrawn fund-based credit limits, the Company also has recourse to discount trade receivables backed by letters of credit. These measures are considered by the management adequate to ensure that the Company is not exposed to any liquidity risk.
The table below analyse financial liabilities of the Company into relevant maturity groupings based on the reporting period from the reporting date to the contractual maturity date:
The Company's total owned funds of r 2,27,114.34 lakhs with zero debt is considered adequate by the management to meet its business interest and any capital risk it may face in future.
Foreign Currency Risk:
The Company has no foreign currency debt and hence faces no foreign currency risk on account of debt outstanding. However, the Company depends entirely on imports for its requirement of styrene monomer and other raw materials. It also exports a part of its products in insignificant quantities. All the transactions are exposed to fluctuation in the external value of rupee largely against US dollar. Exposure to other currencies is minimal.
To overcome these risks of cost and pricing due to foreign exchange volatility, the Company hedges part of open foreign exchange exposure relating to imports so as to lessen the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations if any in respect of import of raw materials. The Company also has a natural hedge to the extent of its exports and pricing its products locally on import parity basis. These measures are considered adequate by the management of the Company to safeguard from foreign exchange fluctuation risk. However foreign currency exchange rate being dynamic is monitored constantly to decide on proper response measure.
