23. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets:
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a
past event, the company has a present legal or
constructive obligation that can be estimated
reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of
economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized
when the expected benefits to be derived by
the Company from a contract are lower than
the unavoidable costs of meeting the future
obligations under the contract.
A disclosure for contingent liabilities is made
where there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation that may probably not require an
outflow of resources or an obligation for which
the future outcome cannot be ascertained with
reasonable certainty. When there is a possible
or a present obligation where the likelihood of
outflow of resources is remote, no provision or
disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are neither recognized nor
disclosed in financial statements.

41 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.
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.
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.
Fair value estimation
For financial instruments measured at fair value in the Balance Sheet, a three level fair value hierarchy is used that reflects
the significance of inputs used in the measurements. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs
(Level 3 measurements).
The categories used are as follows:
• Level 1: quoted prices for identical instruments
• Level 2: directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and
• Level 3: inputs which are not based on observable market data.
For assets and liabilities which are carried at fair value, the classification of fair value calculations by category is
summarised below:
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 year.
42 Financial risk factors
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, advances and trade and other payables.
The purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations and to provide to support its operations.
The Company’s principal financial assets include loans, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that
derive directly from its operations.
The Company’s activities exposes it to Liquidity Risk, Market Risk and Credit risk. The Board of Directors reviews and
agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised as below.
(a) Liquidity risk
The risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are
settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk management implies maintenance sufficient cash
including availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet the obligations
as and when due.
The Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring as far as possible that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its
short term and long term liabilities as and when due. Anticipated future cash flows are expected to be sufficient to
meet the liquidity requirements of the Company.
(i) Financing arrangements
The Company has access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities as at the end of the reporting period:
(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
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has foreign currency loan and trade payables and is
therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk. The exchange rates have been volatile in the recent years and
may continue to be volatile in the future. Hence the operating results and financials of the Company may be
impacted due to volatility of the rupee against foreign currencies.
(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. According to the Company, interest rate risk exposure is only
for floating rate borrowings. The Company is not significantly exposed to the interest rate risk, since the
borrowings of the Company are on Fixed interest rate basis.
(iii) Commodity risk Commodity price risk arises due to fluctuation in prices of crude oil. Volatility in Crude Oil
prices, Currency fluctuation of Rupee vis-a-vis other prominent currencies coupled with demand-supply
scenario in the world market affect the effective price and availability. The Company manages this risk by
widening its source base, appropriate contracts and commitments and well planned procurement.
(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.
43 (a) Capital management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to :
(i) 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
(ii) 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's policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a
focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development
and growth of its business. The Company will take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its
capital structure.
