1.11 Provisions and contingent liabilities
a) Provisions
Provisions for legal claims, quality claims and volume discounts are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Provisions for restructuring are recognised by the Company when it has developed a detailed formal plan for restructuring and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that the Company will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. The measurement of provision for restructuring includes only direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are both necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not associated with the ongoing activities of the Company.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations maybe small.
Provisions are measured at the nominal or present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation, to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
b) Contingent liabilities
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 or 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 a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
c) Contingent Assets
Contingent Assets are disclosed, where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. The Company shall not recognised a contingent asset unless the recovery is virtually certain.
1.12 Exceptional items
Exceptional items are items of income or expense recorded in the year in which they have been determined by management as being material by their size or incidence in relation to the standalone financial statements and are presented separately within the results of the Company. The determination of which items are disclosed as exceptional items affect the presentation of profit for the year and requires a degree of judgment.
Note IB: Other Accounting Policies
This Note provides a list of the other accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these standalone financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1.13 Contributed Equity
Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
1.14 Dividends
Provision is made for any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the
reporting period.
1.15 Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to income are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate and presented within other income.
Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss over the periods and in proportions in which depreciation expense on those assets is recognised.
1.16 Earnings per share Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares issued during the yearand excluding treasury shares (Note41).
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
1.17 Impairment of assets
Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets aregrouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or
groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non¬ financial assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
An impairment loss ora reversal of an impairment loss is immediately recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
1.18 Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the assets to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current assets is recognised at the date of de-recognition.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet.
1.19 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.
Investments and Other Financial Assets
a) Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
• Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit orloss), and
• Those measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or othercomprehensive income.
For investments in debt instruments, recognition will depend on the business model in which the investment is held.
For investments in equity instruments, recognition will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
b) Recognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the company commits to purchase or sale thefinancial asset.
c) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset (excluding trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component) at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
(i) Debt instruments:
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:
• Amortised cost:
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest
are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses). Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the standalone statement of profit and loss.
• Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit and loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other expenses or other incomes, as applicable. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign Exchange gains and losses are presented in othergains and losses and impairment expenses in other expenses.
• Fairvalue through profit or loss:
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is
recognised in profit or loss and presented net in the standalone statement of profit and loss within other expenses or other incomes, as applicable in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in otherincome.
(ii) Equity instruments:
The Company measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company's management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there will be no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company's right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from otherchanges infairvalue.
d) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with its assets carried at amortised cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. Note 38(A) details how the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
e) Derecognition of financial assets revenue recognition
Afinancial asset is derecognised only when
• the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset
• it retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of thefinancial asset. In such cases, thefinancial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.
Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in thefinancial asset.
f) Income recognition
(i) Interest income
Interest income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is disclosed as interest income within other income. Interest income on financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at FVOCI is calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the standalone statement of profit and loss as part of other income.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit- impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).
(ii) Dividends
Dividends are received from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and at FVOCI. Dividends are recognised as other income in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they are paid out of
pre-acquisition profits, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
h) Trade receivable
Trade receivables are consideration due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognised/measured initially at transaction price that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components.
Financial liabilities
a) Measurement:
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, reduced by transaction costs (in case of financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss), that are directly attributable to the issue of financial liability. After initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash outflow (including all fees paid, transaction cost, and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. At the time of initial recognition, there is no financial liability irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss. Liabilities from finance lease agreements are measured at the lower of fair value of the leased asset or present value of minimum lease payments.
b) Derecognition:
A financial liability is derecognised 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 de¬ recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the standalone statement of profit or loss.
c) Borrowings:
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in standalone Statement of profit and loss.
Where the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and the entity issues equity instruments to a creditor to extinguish all or part of the liability (debt for equity
swap), a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss, which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a long¬ term arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liability as current, if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before the approval of the standalone financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as consequence of the breach.
d) Trade and other payables:
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30¬ 90 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
f) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company orthe counterparty.
1.20 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.
The Managing Director, who has been identified as the chief operating decision maker, assesses the financial performance and position of the Company and makes strategic decisions. Refer Note 47 for the segment information presented.
1.21 Roundingof amounts
All amounts disclosed in the standalone financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs with two decimal as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
Note 2: Material accounting assumptions, estimates and judgements
The preparation of standalone financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the actual results. Management also needs to exercise assumptions, estimates and judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies. This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the standalone financial statements. Accounting estimates could change from period to period.
a) Estimation of current tax expense and deferred income tax
The calculation of the Company's tax charge necessarily involves a degree of estimation and judgement in respect of certain items whose tax treatment cannot be finally determined until resolution has been reached with the relevant tax authority or, as appropriate, through a formal legal process. The final resolution of some of these items may give rise to material profits/losses and/or cash flows. Significant judgments are involved in determining the provision for income taxes, including amount expected to be paid/recovered for uncertain tax positions (Refer Note 35).
The recognition of deferred income tax assets (including MAT Credit)/ liabilities is based upon management's assessment of future taxable profits for recoverability of the deferred benefit. Expected recoverability may result from sufficient and suitable taxable profits in the future, planned transactions and
planned tax optimizing measures. To determine the future taxable profits, reference is made to the latest available profit forecasts.
b) Estimation of Provisions and Contingent Liabilities.
The Company exercises judgement in measuring and recognizing provisions and the exposures to contingent liabilities which is related to pending litigation or other outstanding claims. Judgement is necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a liability will arise, and to quantify the possible range of the financial settlement. Because of the inherent uncertainty in this evaluation process, actual liability may be different from the originally estimated as provision (Refer Note 39).
c) Estimated useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment represent a significant proportion of the asset base of the Company. The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. The useful lives and residual values of Company's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end. Internal and external factors such as changes in the expected level of usage, technological developments, product life cycle, relative efficiencies and operating costs may impact their life and the residual value of these assets. This reassessment may result in change in depreciation and amortization expense and have an impact on profit in future years. For the relative size of the Company's property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (Refer Note 3 and 4).
d) Provision for inventories
The Company writes down inventories to net realisable value based on an estimate of the realisability of inventories. Write downs on inventories are recorded where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying balances may not realised. The identification of write- downs requires the use of estimates of net selling prices, age and quality/condition of downgraded materials/inventories. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of inventories and write-downs of inventories in the periods in which such estimate has been changed.
Write-downs of inventories to net realisable value amounted to ? 496.02 lakhs (March 31, 2024:
? 391.91 lakhs). These were recognised as an expense during the year and included in 'changes in the inventories of work-in-progress and finished goods' in standalone statement of Profit and Loss.
e) Estimation of Defined Benefit Obligation
The present value of the defined benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. Significant judgements are required when setting these assumptions which include estimation of appropriate discount rate, inflation, salary growth, attrition rates and mortality rates. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of such obligations. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.
The Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that is used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the defined benefit obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates of government bonds of maturity approximating the terms of the related plan liability. Refer Note 31 for the details of the assumptions used in estimating the defined benefit obligation.
f) Estimation of impairment of non-current assets
Ind AS 36 requires that the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment to an asset or a cash generating unit and recoverability of potentially impaired assets. The indication come from interplay of various internal and external factors. Based on the indications/conditions which can be external or internal, impairment testing requires an estimate of value in use of the assets. The company applies the discounted cash flow method based on the continued use of the assets in the present condition for calculation of value in use. In considering the value in use, the management requires the use of estimates of, among other uncertain variables, capacity utilization, sales, cost of materials, operating margins, rate of growth, currency rate movements and discount rates of the underlying business/operations.
Any consequent changes to the cash flows due to changes in any of the above factors could impact the carrying value of the assets.
Notes:
(i) Refer to Note 19 for information on property, plant and equipment hypothecated / pledged as security by the Company.
(ii) Contractual obligations : Refer to Note 40 for disclosure of contractual commitments for acquisition of property, plant and equipment.
(iii) Borrowing costs allocated to fixed assets / capital work in progress is ? 3.09 lakhs (March 31, 2024 : ? 48.58 lakhs) (Refer note 34).
(iv) Capital work-in-progress - Capital work-in-progress mainly comprises of new plant and machinery for spinning and texturising process, being installed/constructed in india.
Terms/ rights attached to equity shares
The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of? 10 per share. All issued shares rank pari-passu and have same voting rights per share. The Company declares and pays dividend in indian rupees.
In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of the equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.
Pursuant to approval by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on September 17,2024 and the approval of the Shareholders at the Extra Ordinary General Meeting of the Company held on October 16, 2024, and approval of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE), the Board of Directors of the Company allotted 77,67,827 (Seventy Seven Lakhs Sixty Seven Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty Seven Only) Equity Shares to Promoter & Promoter Group and Non-Promoter Category on Preferential basis fully paid up Equity Shares of the face value of Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten only) each for cash at a price of Rs. 182.50 (Rupees One Hundred Eighty Two and Fifty Paise only) per equity share including a premium of Rs. 172.50 (Rupees One Hundred Seventy Two and Fifty Paise only) per Equity Share. The Company received listing approval from BSE and NSE on December 2,2024 and December 13, 2024 respectively and trading approval from BSE and NSE on December 20,2024. The Equity Shares are under lock-in for such period as specified under Regulation 167 of Chapter V of the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018.
In accordance with IN D AS 32, the costs that are directly attributable to the above transactions, have been adjusted in equity.
Nature and purpose of reserves Capital reserve
Capital reserve represents capital surplus and is not available for distribution as dividend.
Securities premium reserve
Securities premium is used to record the premium received on issue of shares. The reserve is utilized in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Capital redemption reserve (CRR)
CR R is created on redemption of preference shares in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
Debenture redemption reserve (DRR)
DRR was created on issue of debentures in the earlier years. This has been transferred to General reserve as the debentures have been redeemed.
General reserve
General reserve represents appropriation of profits by the Company.
Share options outstanding account
The share options outstanding account is used to recognise the grant date fair value of options issued to employees under AYM Syntex Limited employee stock option plan.
Retained earnings
Retained earnings represent the accumulated undistributed earnings.
Fair value hierarchy
"The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into three levels prescribed under the Ind AS. An explanation for each level is given below."
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments, exchange traded funds and mutual funds that have quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period. The mutual funds are valued using the closing Net Assets Value (NAV), NAV represents the price at which, the issuer will issue further units and will redeem such units of mutual funds to and from the investors.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is 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. Instruments in the level 2 category for the Company include foreign exchange forward contracts.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in this level.
There are no internal transfers of financial assets and financial libilities between Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 during the period. The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy level as at the end of the reporting period.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, fixed deposit having maturity period upto 12 months and its interest accrued, export benefits receivable, current loans, current borrowings, trade payables and other financial liabilities are considered to be approximately same as their value, due to the short-term maturities of these financial assets/liabilities.
During the periods mentioned above, there have been no transfers amongst the levels of hierarchy.
Valuation techniques used to determine fair value:
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
• the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
• the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
• the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligation under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarly trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, investments in mutual funds, foreign exhange transactions and other financial instruments. The credit risk encompasses both the direct risk of default and the risk of deterioration of credit worthiness as well as concentration risks. To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of counter party, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, analysing the risk profile of the counter party and the analysis of historical bad debts and ageing of accounts receivable etc. Individual risk limits are set accordingly.
The Company determines default by considering the business environment in which the Company operates and other macro¬ economic factors. 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 a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information such as:
i) Actual or expected significant adverse changes in business;
ii) Actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty;
iii) Financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the counterparty's ability to meet its obligations;
iv) Significant increase in credit riskon other financial instruments ofthe same counterparty;
v) Significant changes in the value of the collateral supporting the obligation or in the quality of the third-party guarantees.
None ofthe financial instruments ofthe Company result in material concentration of credit risk. The carrying value of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk. Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company.
i) Trade receivables
The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits, payment track record, monitoring financial position of the customer and other relevant factors. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and reviewed.
The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as limited, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The exposure to customers is diversified and no substantial concentration of risk as no single customer contributes more than 10% of revenue and of the outstanding receivables. Sales made in domestic market predominantly are through agents appointed by the Company, the agents being del credere agents most ofthe credit risk emanating thereto is borne by agents and the Company's exposure to risk is limited to sales made to customers directly. In case of direct sale, the Company has a policy of dealing only with credit worthy counter parties. The credit risk related to such sales are mitigated by taking advance, security deposit, letter of credit, setting and monitoring internal limits on exposure to individual customers as and where considered necessary. An impairment analysis which includes assessment for indicators of impairment is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for all major customers and provision for impairment taken. The allowance reduces the net carrying amount.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics. The expected loss rates for trade receivables has been computed based on reasonable approximation ofthe loss rates and paste trend of outstanding debtors.
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meet its obligations, by delivering cash or other financial assets, on time or at a reasonable price. For the Company, liquidity risk arises from obligations on account of financial liabilities - borrowings, trade and other payables, derivative instruments and other financial liabilities.
The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, 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 risking damage to the Company's reputation. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and drawable reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of the financial assets and liabilities.The Company regularly monitors liquidity position through rolling forecast based on estimated free cash flow generated from business. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposits and liquid schemes of mutual funds, which carry no/negligible mark to market risks.
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity or commodity prices will affect the Company's income/cash flows or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of postemployment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities. Financial instruments affected by market risk include receivables, loans and borrowings, advances, deposits, investments and derivative financial instruments. The sensitivity of the relevant profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks.
The Company's activities expose it to risks on account of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts of varying maturity depending upon the underlying contract as a risk management strategy to manage its exposures to foreign exchange fluctuations and interest rate.
I Foreign currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument or future cash flows fluctuate because of changes in market price of the functional currency. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on their receivables, payables and foreign currency loans which are mainly held in the United State Dollar ("USD"), the Euro ("EUR"), British Pound ('GBP'), the Australian Dollar ("AUD"), the Swiss Franc ("CH F") and Japanese Yen ("JPY"). Consequently, the Company is exposed primarily to the risk that the exchange rate of the Indian Rupees {‘n ") relative to the USD, the EUR, the C H F, and the CNY may change in a manner that has a material effect on the reported values of the Company's assets and liabilities that are denominated in these foreign currencies.
The Company evaluates exchange rate exposure arising from foreign currency transactions and follows established risk management policy wherein exposure is identified, a benchmark is set and monitored closely for suitable hedges, including minimising cross currency transactions, using natural hedge and the use of derivatives like foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, through a ruling in February 2019, provided interpretation on the components of salary on which the Company and its employees are to contribute towards provident fund under the Employee's Provident Fund Act. Based on the current evaluation, the Company believes it is not probable that certain components of salary paid by the Company will be subject to contribution towards provident fund due to the Supreme Court order. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate its position based on future events and developments.
