36 Segment Reporting
As per Ind AS 108 - Operating Segment (‘Ind AS 108’), if a financial statement contains both consolidated financial statements of a Company that is within the scope of this Ind AS as well as the Company separate financial statements, segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, information required to be presented under Ind AS 108 - Operating Segment has been given in the consolidated financial statements.
B. Measurement of fair values
Ind AS 107, ‘Financial Instrument - Disclosure’ requires classification of the valuation method of financial instruments measured at fair value in the Balance Sheet, using a three level fair-value-hierarchy (which reflects the significance of inputs used in the measurements). The hierarchy gives the highest priority to un-adjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to un-observable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Fair value of derivative financial assets and liabilities are estimated by discounting expected future contractual cash flows using prevailing market interest rate curves. The three levels of the fair-value-hierarchy under Ind AS 113 are described below:
Level 1: Heirarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market are determined using valuation techniques which maximise 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 are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. e.g. unlisted equity securities.
Transfers between Levels
There are no transfers betweeen the levels
C. Financial risk management
The Company’s activities expose it to Credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
i. Risk management framework
Risk Management is an integral part of the Company’s plans and operations. The Company’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company risk management framework. The board of directors is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company risk management policies.
The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.
ii. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investments in debt securities, cash and cash equivalents, mutual funds, bonds etc.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Trade and other receivables
Credit risk is the risk of possible default by the counter party resulting in a financial loss.
The Company manages credit risk through various internal policies and procedures set forth for effective control over credit exposure. These are managed by way of setting various credit approvals, evaluation of financial condition before supply terms, setting credit limits, industry trends, ageing analysis and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
Based on prior experience and an assessment of the current economic environment, management believes that sufficient provision is made based on expected credit loss model for credit risk wherever credit is extended to customers.
Cash and cash equivalents
Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by the Company’s treasury department in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investment of surplus funds are made in mainly in mutual funds with good returns and with high credit ratings assigned by International and domestic credit ratings agencies.
Other than trade and other receivables, the Company has no other financial assets that are past due but not impaired.
iii. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. 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 has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from various banks. The Company also constantly monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility. Accordingly, liquidity risk is perceived to be low.
iv. Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates ). Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments, all foreign currency receivables and payables and all short term and long-term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market value of its investments. Thus, the Company’s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currencies.
a) Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchase, and other expenses are denominated and the functional currency of the Company. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupees (INR). The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are EURO and USD.
Exposure to currency risk
The summary quantitative data about the Company’s exposure to currency risk as reported to the management of the Company is as follows:
a The Company has not entered into forward contracts to hedge the foreign currency risks arising from amounts designated in foreign currency.
b) Interest rate 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. Investment committee manages and constantly reviews the interest rate movements in the market. This risk is mitigated by the Company by investing the funds in various tenors depending on the liquidity needs of the Company. The Company’s exposures to interest rate risk is not significant.
38 Employee Benefit obligations(A) Defined contribution plan
Contributions are made to Employee Provident Fund (EPF), Employees State Insurance Scheme (ESIC) and other Funds which covers all regular employees. Both the employees and the Company make predetermined contributions to the Provident Fund and ESIC. The contributions are normally based on a certain percentage of the employee’s salary. Amount recognised as expense in respect of these defined contribution plans, is as detailed below.
The above sensitivity analyses have been calculated to show the movement in defined benefit obligation in isolation and assuming there are no other changes in market conditions at the reporting date. In practice, generally it does not occur. When we change one variable, it affects to others. In calculating the sensitivity, project unit credit method at the end of the reporting period has been applied.
40 Capital Management
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued capital and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company. The primary objective of the Company when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to maintain an optimal capital structure so as to maximize shareholder value.
