m) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
n) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the standalone financial statements.
o) Retirement and other employee benefits
(i) Post-employment benefits
• Defined contribution plan
The Company makes payment to provident fund scheme which is defined contribution plan. The contribution paid/payable under the schemes is recognized in the statement
of profit and loss during the period in which the employee renders the related service. The Company has no further obligations under these schemes beyond its periodic contributions.
The Company recognize contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as an expenditure, when an employee renders the related services. If the contribution payable to the scheme for services received before balance sheet date exceeds the contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as a liability after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for services received before the balance sheet date, then the excess recognized as an asset to the extent that the pre-payment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payment or cash refund.
• Defined benefit plan
The Company operates a defined benefit plan for its employees, viz. gratuity. The present value of the obligation under such defined benefit plans is determined based on the actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit Method as at the date of the Balance sheet. The fair value of plan asset is reduced from the gross obligation under the defined benefit plans, to recognize the obligation on a net basis.
Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability), are recognized immediately in the Balance Sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Re¬ measurements are not reclassified to the statement of profit and loss in subsequent periods.
Past service costs are recognized in statement of profit and loss on the earlier of:
• the date of the plan amendment or curtailment; and
• the date that the Company recognizes related restructuring costs
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company recognizes the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:
• service costs comprising current service
costs, past-service costs, gains and
losses on curtailments and non-routine
settlements; and
• net interest expense or income.
(ii) Short-term employee benefits
The distinction between short term and long term employee benefits is based on expected timing of settlement rather than the employee's entitlement benefits. All employee benefits
payable within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short term benefits. Such benefits include salaries, wages, bonus, short term compensated absences, awards, ex-gratia, performance pay, etc. and are recognized in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
(iii) Other long-term employment benefits:
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year end. Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The Company presents the leave as a current liability in the Balance Sheet to the extent it does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where the Company has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond 12 months, the same is presented as non-current liability.
p) Share based payments
Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions).
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. (refer note 35) That cost is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in share based payment reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vested date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The statement of profit and loss expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognized in employee benefits expense. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions for which vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition. These are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non¬ vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense had the terms not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
q) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
• Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement of financial assets
All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in the following categories:
- debt instruments at amortized cost
- debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
- equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) / other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
Debt instruments at amortized cost
A 'debt instrument’ is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
- contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
This category is the most relevant to the Company. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the statement of profit and loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Debt instrument at FVTPL FVTPL is a residual category for debt instruments. Any debt instrument, which does not meet the criteria for categorization as at amortized cost or as FVTOCI, is classified as at FVTPL.
Debt instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Equity investments
All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS103
applies are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value in other comprehensive income. The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
The Company has decided to classify equity instrument as FVTOCI and all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to statement of profit and loss, even on sale of investment. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized when:
- The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
- The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that
case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay. Impairment of financial assets In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
- Trade receivables or any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset that result from transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 115.
The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivable.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to receive (i.e., all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR. When estimating the cash flows, an entity is required to consider:
- All contractual terms of the financial instrument (including prepayment, extension, call and similar options) over the expected life of the financial instrument. However, in rare cases when the expected life of the financial instrument cannot be estimated reliably, then the entity is required to use the remaining contractual term of the financial instrument; and
- Cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward¬ looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed.
ECL impairment loss allowance (or reversal) recognized during the period is recognied as expense/ (income) in the statement of profit and loss. This amount is reflected under the head 'Other expenses’ in the statement of profit and loss. The balance sheet presentation for various financial instruments is described below:
- Financial assets measured as at amortized cost and contractual revenue receivables: ECL is presented as an allowance, i.e., as an integral part of the measurement of those assets in the balance sheet. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount. Until the asset meets write-off criteria, the Company does not reduce impairment allowance from the gross carrying amount; and
- Loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: ECL is presented as a provision in the balance sheet, i.e. as a liability.
For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the Company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analyzis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis. The Company does not have any purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets, i.e., financial assets which are credit impaired on purchase/ origination.
• Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, loans and borrowings or payables as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value.
The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below: Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the standalone balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
r) Investment in subsidiaries
Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost less accumulated impairment in the standalone financial statements
s) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprize cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered as integral part of the Company’s cash management.
t) Cash dividend
The Company recognizes a liability to make cash distributions to the equity holders of the Company when the distribution is authorized and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. As per the provisions of the Act, a distribution is authorized when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.
u) Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s earnings for the year attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The earnings considered in ascertaining the Company’s EPS comprise the net profit after tax attributable to equity shareholders. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events of bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) other than the conversion of potential equity shares that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.
The diluted EPS is calculated on the same basis as basic EPS, after adjusting for the effects of potential dilutive equity shares. There were no instruments excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the periods presented because of an anti¬ dilutive impact.
v) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of a company whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resource allocation and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company has identified the Managing Directors of the Company as its CODM.
Q SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the Company’s Standalone financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, including the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.
(a) Judgements
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, the management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Standalone financial statements.
Revenue Recognition :
Significant Judgement is required for identifying separate performance obligations, determination of basis and its appropriateness for allocation of transaction price to the identified performance obligations and recognition of such identified performance obligations based on timing of satisfaction (i.e. over time or point in time). The Company assess each promise in a contract with customer to transfer a goods or service to identify performance obligation. These contracts generally meet the criteria for considering sale of security software and related services as separate performance obligation, wherein revenue is recognised as and when control is transferred to the customer for each performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation that depicts the amount of consideration which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer. In Contracts, where arrangement is determined to constitute a single performance obligation revenue is recognised over the license period, reflecting the continuous transfer of control to the customer.
(b) Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the Standalone financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
• Expected Credit loss on trade receivables
The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on portfolio of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed. In addition to that management also makes specific provision in case the recovery is not expected based on their discussion with the customer's.
• Fair value measurement of financial instruments - Investment in equity instruments and preference shares
When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques including the DCF model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Judgements include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer note 43 for further disclosures.
1.1 Standards (including amendments) issued but not yet effective
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards. There is no such notification which would have been applicable from April 01,2025.
The Company’s investment properties consist of office premises in India given on non-cancellable lease for a period of 11 months to 5 years.
Measurement of fair values of investment properties
As at March 31,2025, the fair values of the property is ' 75.91 (March 31,2024'65.79). The valuations are based on valuations performed by Magnitas Valuation & Advisory Services LLP and M/s Rao associates (Registered Valuer & Chartered Engineer), accredited independent valuer. The Valuer are a specialist in valuing these types of investment properties. A valuation model in accordance with "internationally accepted valuation standards" that recommended by the International Valuation Standards Committee has been applied.
Fair value hierarchy disclosures for investment properties have been provided in Note 44.
1. The Company has no restriction on the realizability of its investment properties and no contractual obligations to purchase, or develop investment properties.
2. The fair valuation is based on current prices in the active market for similar properties. The main inputs used are quantum, area, location, demand, age of the property. The fair value is based on valuation performed by an accredited independent valuer. Fair valuation is based on Market and income approach for valuation. The fair value measurement is categorised in level 2 fair value hierarchy.
Key assumption and inputs
The Company have adopted market approach to estimate the value of property, market rate is estimated based on Prime data source & the rate applicable at surrounding vicinity.
1. Prime Source: Recorded sales tranaction in the vicinity of property.
2. Secondary sources: Local enquiry about the rates, web advertisement about the land rates, ready reckoner/ guideline rates.
(b) Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to equity shares
The Company has only one class of equity shares having par value of ' 10 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividend in Indian Rupees. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to approval of the shareholders in ensuing Annual General Meeting.
The Board of Directors, in their meeting on April 25, 2024, proposed a final dividend of ' 3 per equity share and the same was approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on September 06, 2024. The amount was recognized as distributions to equity shareholders during the year ended March 31,2025 and the total appropriation was ' 16.13 including Tax deduction at source.
The Board of Directors, in their meeting on April 17, 2023, proposed a final dividend of ' 2.50 per equity share and the same was approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on August 11, 2023. The amount was recognized as distributions to equity shareholders during the year ended March 31,2024 and the total appropriation was ' 13.27 including Tax deduction at source.
In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by shareholders.
ES OTHER EQUITY (Contd.)
Amalgamation reserve
Pursuant to the scheme of amalgamation ("the Scheme") sanctioned by the Honourable High Court of Bombay, Cat Labs Private Limited (CLPL), subsidiary of the Company, had been merged with the Company with effect from April 01,2010. Accordingly, an amount of ' 2.65 was recorded as amalgamation reserve.
General reserve
Under the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, general reserve was created through an annual transfer of net income at a specified percentage in accordance with applicable regulations. Consequent to introduction of Companies Act 2013, the requirement to mandatorily transfer a specified percentage of the net profit to general reserve has been withdrawn. However, the amount previously transferred to the general reserve can be utilized only in accordance with the specific requirements of Companies Act, 2013.
Capital redemption reserve
The Company had bought back its share in the past. In accordance with section 69 of the Companies Act, 2013, Capital Redemption Reserve is created (which represent nominal value of share bought back).
Retained earnings
Retained Earnings represent surplus i.e., balance of the relevant column in the Statement of Changes in Equity.
Share based payment reserve
The Company has two employee stock option schemes under which options to subscribe for the Company’s shares have been granted to certain executives and senior employees. The share-based payment reserve is used to recognize the value of equity- settled share-based payments provided to employees, including key management personnel, as part of their remuneration. Refer note 35 for further details of these plans.
Fair value through other comprehensive income reserve
The Company has elected to recognize changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity securities in other comprehensive income. These changes are accumulated within the equity instruments through other comprehensive income within equity. The Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are derecognized.
i) Direct tax
The claims against the Company primarily represent demands arising on completion of assessment proceedings under the Income Tax Act, 1961. These claims are majorly on account of disallowance of expenses pertaining to exempt income as per section 14A read with rule 8D of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
These matters are pending before various Income Tax Authorities and the Management including its tax advisors expect that its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
ii) Indirect tax
The claim against the Company represented a demand arising on account of mismatch of ITC under the Goods and Services Act, 2017. This matter was pending before Assistant Commissioner CGST and the Management including its tax advisors expected that its position will likely be upheld on ultimate resolution and will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The said demand is dropped by the office of the assistant commissioner of CGST vide Order No 51/Adj/DIV-/C.Tax/GST/24-25 DIN - 20250268UC000000FB1F dated February 04, 2025.
iii) Provident fund
During the year ended March 31,2025, the Regional P.F. Commissioner ("RPFC") passed an order under Section 7A & 7Q of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 ("Act") demanding ' 5.01 (including interest of ' 2.49) on the grounds that it failed to remit Provident Fund ("PF") on wages for its employees for the period from September 2014 to March 2019 for certain allowances of salary. The Company filed an appeal before the Central Government Industrial Tribunal Cum-Labour Court ("CGIT") challenging the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation’s ("EPFO") order along with the application under Section 7O of the Act seeking a waiver from pre-deposit of the alleged Provident Fund Contributions till the final disposal of the Appeal. The CGIT, after hearing the submissions made, passed an Order and directed RPFC, not to proceed with the recovery against the Company on depositing 30% of the total amount assessed. The Company, based on the legal counsel’s opinion, is of the view that the claim made by the RPFC is not probable, and accordingly no provision is recorded in the financial statement of the year ended March 31,2025.
e. Other litigations
An erstwhile distributor had filed a First Information Report (FIR) in May 2016 at Uttarpara Police Station, Hooghly District, West Bengal, against certain directors of the Company, their spouses, and other associates, alleging embezzlement of his investment and misappropriation of shares. Pursuant to this, the police had filed a charge sheet. Subsequently, the Company, along with the concerned directors and other parties, filed petitions seeking quashing of the proceedings before the Hon’ble High Court at Calcutta during the financial year ended March 31,2018. During the current financial year ended March 31,2025, the Hon’ble High Court at Calcutta, vide its judgment dated June 25, 2024, has quashed all the aforesaid proceedings
The management assessed that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The amortized cost using effective interest rate (EIR) of non-current financial assets consisting of security and term deposits are not significantly different from the carrying amount.
Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired include cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, term deposits, and other financial assets.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
IE1 FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included with in Level 1 that the observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data unobservable inputs.
The following table presents the fair value measurement hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at March 31,2024 and March 31,2023.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
(i) The fair value of the quoted mutual fund are based on the price quotations at reporting date. The fair value of unquo instruments, related parties and other financial liabilities as well as other non-current financial liabilities is estimatec discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturit
(ii) The fair values of the unquoted equity and preference shares have been estimated using a discounted cash flow (D model. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast c flows, discount rate, credit risk and volatility. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasons assessed and are used in management's estimate of fair value for these unquoted equity and preference investments.
(a) Considering the financial position, liquidity condition, market conditions and geopolitical scenario in Israel, management based on its assessment the Company has recorded a fair value loss in other comprehensive income (FVOCI) amounting to ' 13.45 in the year ended March 31,2024. Accordingly, the carrying value of investment made in L7 Defense Limited has been considered as Nil during the year ended March 31,2025.
EH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations and to support its operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include investments, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations. The Company does not have borrowings and derivative transactions.
The Company is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:
(a) 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 include deposits, investments, receivables, payables, advances and other financial instruments. From the perspective of the Company, the impact of the foreign currency risk, material price risk, interest rate risk and other price risk is not significant.
The Company has certain financial assets and financial liabilities in foreign currencies which expose the Company to foreign currency risks. The foreign currency exposure of the Company has been disclosed in Note 39 to the standlaone financial statements.
Foreign currency sensitivity
The Company does not take any steps to hedge the foreign currency exposure as mentioned above as the Management believes that there is natural hedge to some extent and balance exposure not really having significant impact on the financial health of the Company.
F5B FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Contd.)
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.
Trade receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on an extensive credit rating scorecard and individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company follows simplified approach for recognition of impairment loss allowance on Trade receivables.
Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Company’s treasury department in accordance with the Company’s policy. Investments of surplus funds are made with banks in terms of fixed deposits and investment in designated mutual funds. Investment decision in mutual fund is taken with the assistance from appointed agent. Credit risk on cash deposits is limited as the Company generally invest in deposits with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by international and domestic credit rating agencies. Other investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units of reputed companies where historically, the Company has not incurred any loss due to credit risk.
(c) Liquidity risk
The Company had no outstanding bank borrowings as of March 31,2025 and March 31,2024. The working capital as at March 31,2025 was ' 291.96 (March 31,2024: ' 289.60) including cash and cash equivalents.
As at March 31,2025 and March 31, 2024, the outstanding employee obligations were ' 18.85 and ' 15.57 respectively which have been substantially funded. Accordingly, no significant liquidity risk is perceived.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.
1E1 AUDIT TRAIL
