b. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk includes investment, deposits, foreign currency receivables and payables. The Company's treasury team manages the Market risk, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process of market risk management.
(i) Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk can only arise on financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency in which they are measured. The Company's functional and presentation currency is INR. The Company does not have any foreign currency transactions and hence is not exposed to the Foreign Currency Risks.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's long term borrowings have fixed rate of interest and are carried at amortised costs. Hence, the Company is not subject to the interest rate risk since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will change due to change in the market interest rates.
Working capital facility and loan from holding company are, as per contractual terms, primarily of long term in nature, which does not exposes company to significant interest rate risk.
c. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risks from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other financial instruments.
Credit risk is managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. Company's major sales are to its holding company, United Spirits Limited (USL). USL has extended trade advance to support the operations of the Company. Hence, the credit exposure is assessed to be negligible.

Trade and other receivables
The Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of assets and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risks on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period.
To assess whether there is a significant change increase in credit risk the Company compares the risks of default occurring on the assets as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers the reasonable and supportive forward 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 counterparty's ability to meet its obligations
(iv) Significant increase in credit risk on other financial instruments of same counterparty

34 (B) Financial instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1. Fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade and other short term receivables, trade payables, other current liabilities, short term loans from banks and other financial institutions approximate their carrying amounts, largely due to short term maturities of these instruments.
2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counterparty. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken to account for expected losses of these receivables. Accordingly, fair value of such instruments is not materially different from their carrying amounts.
35 Capital risk management
The Company's objectives when managing capital are to :
» safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns
for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and > maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders etc.
The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio being a ratio of net debt as a percentage of total capital. _______________________________
