Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgments 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.

Below is the explanation of each level:

Level 1: This hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. The Company does not have any financial asset in this measurement category.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example mutual funds, 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: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. The Company has unlisted equity instrument in this measurement category.

During the year ending March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, there were no transfer between levels of fair value hierarchy.

Valuation techniques used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

* the use of net asset value for mutual funds.

* the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.

* the discounted cash flow method under income approach using the projections for Equity instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at Amortised cost:

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.

NOTE 42 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. In order to minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts are entered to hedge certain foreign currency risk exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading or speculative instruments. This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the impact of hedge accounting in the financial statements.

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 from free market dealers, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, other financial assets, 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.

The Company considers the probability of default upon recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. Especially the following indicators are incorporated:

* Internal credit rating for free market dealers.

* External credit rating (as far as available for OEMs)

* Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the customer's ability to meet its obligations

* Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the customer

* Significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the customer, including changes in the payment status of customers

Macroeconomic information (such as regulatory changes, market interest rate or growth rates) is incorporated as part of the internal rating model.

Company has a history of limited write off of doubtful debts. Company on a monthly basis, reviews ageing of receivables and rigorous follow-up is performed by credit controller along with the help of key accounts manager. Quality/ breakage claims received from the customer are reviewed and approved by quality manager, accordingly credit memos are issued as per policy of the Company. At the end of every month credit memos raised during that month is also reviewed by Chief Financial Officer. Appropriate provision is made for each receivable based on review of supporting documents with credit controller. Any exception is justified and documented.

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited as company generally invests in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units.

No significant changes in estimation techniques or assumptions were made during the reporting period

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.

a. Financing arrangements

The Company has access to bank overdraft facilities. These facilities may be drawn at any time and may be terminated by the bank without notice.

b. Maturities of financial liabilities

The tables below analyse the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities.

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, CHF and THB. 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 (').

The risk is measured through a forecast of foreign currency sales and purchases for the Company's operations. The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure in foreign currency 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.

Investment in Mutual Funds:

The Company's exposure to price risk arises from investments held by the Company and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in mutual funds, the group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.
