3.11 Provisions and Contingencies (Other than for Employee Benefits)
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows (representing the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.
Contingencies: -
Disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits or the amount of such obligation cannot be measured reliably. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.

(i) Market Risk
(a) Currency Risk
(b) Interest Rate Risk
(c) Commodity Risk
(d) Equity Risk
(ii) Credit Risk
(iii) Liquidity Risk
Risk Management Framework
The Company's activities expose it to variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's primary risk management is to minimize potential adverse effects of risk on its financial performance. The company's risk management assessment policies and processes are established to identify and analyze the risk faced by the company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor such risks and compliance with the same. Risk assessment and management of these policies and processes are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's Activity. The Board of Directors and Audit Committee are responsible for overseeing these policies and processes.
In order to minimize 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 exposures. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and not as trading/speculative instruments.
(i) Market Risk:-
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, foreign currency receivables and payables. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the returns.
(a) Currency Risk
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the profit and loss of the company, where any transactions has more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity.
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. The risk primarily relates to fluctuations in U.S. Dollar against the respective functional currency (INR) of Camex Limited.
The company, as per its risk management policy, uses its foreign exchange and other derivative instruments primarily to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate exposure. The company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purpose.
Exposure to Currency Risk
Refer Note 50 for foreign currency exposure as at March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 (Hedge Accounting).
Sensitivity Analysis
A 1% strengthening/weakening of the respective foreign currency with respect to functional currency of Company would result in increase or decrease in profit or loss as shown in table below. The following analysis has been worked out based on the exposures as of the date of statements of financial position.
(b) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to borrowings from financial institutions. In order to optimize the company's position with regards to the interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instruments in it total portfolio.
The company does not have interest rate linked financial instrument which is subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flow will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.
Refer Note 18 and 20 for interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing financial instrument at the reporting date.
(c) Commodity Risk
The prices of Dyes, Chemicals, Metal and others are subject to wide fluctuations due to unpredictable factors such as quality, Purity, Thickness, Market Competition, Government Policies etc. During its ordinary course of business, the value of the Company's open sales and purchases commitments and inventory of raw material changes continuously in line with movements in the prices of the underlying commodities. To the extent that its open sales and purchases commitments do not match at the end of each business day, the Company is subjected to price fluctuations in the commodities market.
(d) Equity Risk
Equity Price Risk is related to the change in market reference price of the investments in equity securities. The fair value of some of the Company's investments in Fair value through profit and loss account, securities exposes the Company to equity price risks. However the company has not invested in investment in such securities which are subject to market risk. Hence the company is not exposed to Equity Risk.
(ii) Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that a customer or counter party may not be able to settle their contractual obligations as agreed. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the 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 throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of a default occurring and the asset at the reporting date with the risk of default as the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking 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 counter Party's ability to mere it's obligation
iv Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same counterparty.
v Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of third-party guarantees or credit enhancements.
A. Trade and Other Receivables: -
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company's review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information, industry information and in some cases bank references. Sale limits are established for each customer and reviewed periodically.
The Company measures the expected credit loss of trade receivables 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, as per management perceptions, loss on collection of receivable is not material hence no additional provision considered.
B. Cash and cash equivalents

(iii) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity Risk is defined as the risk that the company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations on time or at reasonable price. The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company's reputation. The company's treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the company's net liquidity position through rolling forecast on the basis of expected cash flows.
