3.11 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. When the effect of the time value of money is material, the Company determines the level of provision by discounting the expected cash flows at a pre¬ tax rate reflecting the current rates specific to the liability. These are reviewed at each Balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. A present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is termed and disclosed as contingent liability.
3.12 Segment reporting
The Company's operating segments are established on the basis of those components of the Company that are evaluated regularly by the Executive Committee (the 'Chief Operating Decision Maker' as defined in lnd AS 108- 'Operating Segments'), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
These have been identified taking into account the nature of products and services, the differing risks and returns and the internal business reporting systems. Basis of such evaluation, the Company concluded it operates in a single reportable segment.
3.13 Earnings per share (EPS)
The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing profit after tax attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the reporting period.
The diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing profit after tax attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of equity shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.
The number of equity shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and also weighted average number of equity shares which would have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential shares, unless they are anti-dilutive.
3.14 Dividends on Equity Shares
Final dividends on shares are recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors.

b) Defined benefit plan - Gratuity
In accordance with the applicable Indian laws, the Company has a defined benefit plan which provides for gratuity payments. The plan provides a lump sum gratuity payment to eligible employees at retirement or termination of their employment, which requires contributions to be made to a separately administered fund. The amounts are based on the respective employee's last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company.
The Company contribute to an approved Group gratuity policy with LIC. To Administer gratuity payments, Company has created a gratuity Trust. Liabilities in respect of the gratuity plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes annual contributions to the plan.
The following tables summaries the components of net employee benefit expense recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, the funded status and amounts recognized in Balance Sheet.
The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognized in the balance sheet.
Risks associated with defined benefit plan
(i) Interest Rate Risk
A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the G-Sec rate will increase the present value of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the fair value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.
(ii) Salary Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than the assumed level will increase the plan's liability.
(iii) Investment Risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the gratuity plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in money market instruments and public deposits.
(iv) Asset Liability Matching Risk
The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962. this generally reduces ALM risk.
(v) Mortality Risk
Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan does not have any longevity risk.
(vi) Concentration Risk
The plan has a concentration risk as all the assets are invested with the insurance company and a default will wipe out all the assets. Although probability of this is very low as insurance companies have to follow stringent regulatory guidelines which mitigate risk.
During the year, there were no plan amendments, curtailments and settlements.
36 EMPLOYEE SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
Employee stock option scheme (Equity settled)
The Company has formed an Employee Stock Option Scheme i.e CRAMC Employee Stock Option Scheme 2025 ("ESOP 2025"/Scheme), which covers eligible employees of the Company. The vesting of the options is from expiry of one year till three years from the date of grant.Each option entitles the holder thereof to apply for and be allotted/transferred one equity share of the Company upon payment of the exercise price during the exercise period.
In ESOP 2025, the options shall vest in three tranches. Each of these tranches consisting of 1/3 of the options granted shall vest on the completion of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year from the date of the grant respectively. Any fractional residue shall be settled in the 3rd tranche. The options can be exercised over a period of five years from the date of respective vesting.
Fair value of options granted
The fair value at grant date is determined using the Black Scholes Model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during a period. The measure of volatility used in the Black-Scholes Model is the annualised standard deviation of the continuously compounded rates of return on the stock over a period of time.
Expense arising from share-based payment transactions
37 SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The Company is in the business of providing asset management services to the Fund and advisory service to clients. As such the Company's financial statements are largely reflective of the assets management business and there is no separate reportable segment. All assets of the Company are domiciled in India.
There is only one customer contributing in excess of 10% of the total revenue of the Company.
40 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS A. Fair value measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price), regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique. In order to show how fair values have been derived, financial instruments are classified based on a hierarchy of valuation techniques, as explained below.
The hierarchy used is as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Investment in open ended Mutual Funds are included in Level 1.
Level 2 - Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Investment in close ended Mutual Funds and Debt Securities that are not traded in active market are included in Level 2.
Level 3 - Inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data. Investment in unlisted Debt Securities, unlisted Equity Instruments, Alternative Investment Funds and Venture Capital Fund are included in Level 3.
In order to assess Level 3 valuations, the management reviews the performance of the alternative investment funds on a regular basis by tracking their latest available financial statements/financial information, valuation report of independent valuers, recent transaction results etc. which are considered in valuation process.
B. Financial Risk Management
Risk management is an integral part of the business practices of the Company. The Company's primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimise potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The financial risks are managed in accordance with the Company's risk management policy which has been approved by the Risk Committee of Board of director's. The Company's Risk Committee has overall responsibility for managing the risk profile of the Company. The purpose of risk management is to identify potential problems before they occur, so that risk-handling activities may be planned and invoked as needed to manage adverse impacts on achieving objectives.
The Risk Committee of the Company reviews the development and implementation of the risk management policy of the Company on periodic basis. The Risk Committee provides guidance on the risk management activities, review the results of the risk management process and reports to the Board of Directors on the status of the risk management initiatives.
1 Liquidity Risk:
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Company might be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due as a result of mismatches in the timing of the cash flows under both normal and stress circumstances. Such scenarios could occur when funding needed for illiquid asset positions is not available to the Company on acceptable terms.
To limit this risk, management has adopted a policy of managing assets with liquidity in mind and monitoring future cash flows and liquidity on a regular basis. The Company has developed internal control processes for managing liquidity risk.
The Company maintains a portfolio of highly marketable and diverse assets that are assumed to be easily liquidated in the event of an unforeseen interruption in cash flow. The Company assesses the liquidity position under a variety of scenarios, giving due consideration to stress factors relating to both the market in general and specifically to the Company.
The table below analyses the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity pattern based on their contractual maturities for all financial liabilities.
2 Credit Risk:
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Exposure to credit risk is mitigated through regular monitoring of collections, counterparty's creditworthiness and diversification in exposure.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum amount of credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk is as per the table below, it being total of carrying amount of cash and cash equivalent, trade and other receivables and financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Expected Credit Loss (ECL) on Financial Assets
The Company continuously monitors all financial assets subject to ECLs. In order to determine whether an instrument is subject to 12 month ECL (12mECL) or life time ECL (LTECL), the Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk or the asset has become credit impaired since initial recognition. The Company applies following quantitative and qualitative criteria to assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk or the asset has been credit impaired:
- Historical trend of collection from counterparty.
- Company's contractual rights with respect to recovery of dues from counterparty.
- Credit rating of counterparty and any relevant information available in public domain.
ECL is a probability weighted estimate of credit losses. It is measured as the present value of cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive).
The Company has two types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss:
- Trade & other receivables.
- Cash and cash equivalent.
Trade and Other Receivables
Exposures to customers' outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of collection from counterparties on timely basis reflects low level of credit risk. As the Company has a contractual right to such receivables as well as control over preponderant amount of such funds due from customers, the Company does not estimate any credit risk in relation to such receivables.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company holds cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances as per note 4. The credit worthiness of such banks and financial institutions is evaluated by the management on an ongoing basis and is considered to be high.
3 Market Risk:
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair values or future cash flows related to financial instrument that may result from adverse changes in market rates and prices (such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, other prices). The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk.
i. Foreign Currency Risk:
The Company has insignificant amount of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Accordingly, there is no significant exposure to currency risk.
ii. 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.
iii. Price risk:
Price risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices and related market variables including interest rate for investments in debt oriented mutual funds and debt securities, whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer or the market. The Company's exposure to price risk arises from investments in equity securities, AIF & units of mutual funds, which are classified as financial assets at Fair Value Through Profit and Loss and is as follows:
To manage its price risk from investments in equity securities & units of mutual funds, the Company diversifies its portfolio.
Sensitivity Analysis
The table below sets out the effect on profit or loss and equity due to reasonable possible weakening/ strengthening in prices of 5%:
