2 RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial risk management objectives and policies :
The Company's financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company's activity expose it to market risk, liquidity risk, commodity risk and credit risk. The Company's financial risk management policy is set by the Risk Management Committee and governed by overall direction of Board of Directors of the Company.
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 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, payables and loans and borrowings.
I. CREDIT RISK
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their 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 account receivables. Individual credit 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 a significant increase in credit risk the company compares the risk of default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. The company considers reasonable and supportive forward-looking information. Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the company. The company provides for overdue outstanding as per the policy approved by the Board of Directors. which are evaluated on a case to case basis.
The Company's concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is low, as its customer's base is widely spread across the length and breadth of the country and majority of the customers are with sound financial health.
The average credit period extended to customers ranges from 30 - 60 days
II. 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 a reasonable price.
The Company's treasury department is responsible for maintenance of liquidity (including quasi liquidity), continuity of funding as well as timely settlement of debts. In addition, policies related to mitigation of risks are overseen by senior management.
Management monitors the Company's net liquidity position on the basis of expected cash flows vis a vis debt service fulfillment obligation.
Maturity profile of financial liabilities
The table below provides details regarding the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date .
III. MARKET RISK - 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. In order to balance the Company's position with regards to interest income and interest expense and to manage the interest rate risk, finance department performs a comprehensive interest rate risk management. The company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as at the respective reporting dates.
IV. MARKET RISK- FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk towards honouring of export/ import commitments. Management evaluates exchange rate exposure in this connection in terms of its established risk management policies which includes the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge risk of exposure in foreign currency. The company is not exposed to foreign currency risk at the respective reporting dates.
V. COMMODITY RISK
Principal Raw Material for Company's products is Crushed bone, HCL, Lime and Coal as a fuel. The Company sources its major raw material requirement from domestic suppliers located in various part of India.
The Company effectively manages with availability of material as well as price volatility based on the following:
- Raw materials are procured from different sources at competitive prices.
- Alternative sources are developed for uninterrupted supply of raw materials.
- Demand and supply are external factors on which company has no control; however the Company plans its production and sales from the experience gained in the past and on-going study and appraisal of the market dynamics, competition, economic policies and growth patterns of different segments of users of company's products.
- Specific steps to reduce the gap between demand and supply by expanding its customer base, delivery mechanisms, etc.
- Proper inventory control systems have been put in place.
The Risk committee of the Company comprising members from Board of Directors and the operations has developed and enacted a risk management strategy regarding commodity Price risk and its mitigation.
3 FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
(a) 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
(b) No asset has been pledged as security
(c) Dividends
The Company follows the policy of Dividend for any financial year as may be decided by Board considering financial performance of the company and other internal and external factors.
4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are 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.
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.
(ii) 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 counter-party. 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.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.
There were no significant changes in classification and no significant movements between the fair value hierarchy classifications of financial assets and financial liabilities during the years.
5 Post the applicability of Goods and Service Tax (GST) with effect from 1st July 2017, revenue from operations are disclosed net of GST, whereas Excise duty formed part of expenses in previous year. Accordingly, the revenue from operations and other expenses for the year are not comparable with previous year.
6 The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of Ossein and Gelatine. Since all these segments meet the aggregation criteria as per the requirements of Ind AS 108 on 'Operating segments', the management considers these as a single reportable segment. Accordingly, disclosure of segment information has not been furnished.
7 Recent accounting pronouncements
Ind AS 115 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
On 28th March, 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") has notified the Ind AS 115, Revenue from Contract with Customers effective from 1st April, 2018. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset. Further, the new standard requires enhanced disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts with customers.
Control of an asset refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. Control includes the ability to prevent other entities from directing the use of, and obtaining the benefits from, an asset.
Ind AS 21 - Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration
On 28th March, 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 effective from 1st April, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency.
Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes
Amendments to Ind AS 12, Income Taxes clarifying the requirements for recognizing deferred tax assets on unrealized losses. The amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax where an asset is measured at fair value and that fair value is below the asset's tax base. They also clarify certain other aspects of accounting for deferred tax assets. These amendments only clarify the existence of guidance of Ind AS 12 and do not change the underlying principles for recognition of deferred tax asset.
The effect on adoption of Ind AS are expected to be insignificant.
8 Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are subject to formal confirmation and reconciliations. The Management, however, is confident that the impact whereof, if any, for the year on the financial statements will not be material.
9 The financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 29th May, 2018.
