2.9 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions 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 are measured at the present value of management’s best
estimate of the expenditure required 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.
Contingent Liabilities are disclosed in respect of possible obligations
that arise from past events but their existence will be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events
not wholly within the control of the Company or where any present
obligation cannot be measured in terms of future outflow of resources
or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.
A contingent asset is a possible asset 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. Contingent assets are not recognised till
the realisation of the income is virtually certain. However the same are
disclosed in the financial statements where an inflow of economic benefit
is possible.
2.10 Employee benefits :
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that
are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the
period in which the employees render the related service are recognised
in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period
and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the
liabilities are settled.
Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave that are not expected to
be settled wholly within 12 months are measured as the present value
of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided
by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected
unit credit method.
Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:
(a) defined benefit plans such as gratuity; and
(b) defined contribution plans such as provident fund.
Gratuity obligations
The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined
benefit gratuity plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation
at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The
defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using
the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by
discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market
yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that
have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the
net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan
assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the Statement
of Profit and Loss.
Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments
and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in
which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are
included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and
in the balance sheet.
Gratuity liability of employees is funded with the approved gratuity
trusts.
f-
Defined Contribution Plans
Defined Contribution Plans such as Provident Fund, etc., are charged
to the Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
2.11 Borrowing costs :
Interest and other borrowing costs attributable to qualifying assets are
capitalised. Other interest and borrowing costs are charged to Statement
of Profit and Loss.
2.12 Earnings Per Share :
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
• the profit attributable to owners of the Company
• average number of equity shares outstanding during the
financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in equity shares
issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
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.
2.13 Impairment of Assets
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of asset exceeds
its recoverable Value. An impairment loss is charged to the statement
of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired.
The impairment loss recognized in earlier accounting period is reversed
if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount.
2.14 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent comprise cash in hand, demand deposits
with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents include balances
with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.
2.15 Cash flow statements:
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional
currency using exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign
exchange gains and losses from the settlement of these transactions are
recognized in the statement of profit and loss. Foreign currency
denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into
functional currency at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet
date, the gain or loss arising on such translations are recognized in the
statement of profit and loss.
2.16 Events occurring after the balance sheet date
Assets and liabilities are adjusted for events occurring after the reporting
period that provides additional evidence to assist the estimation of
amounts relating to conditions existing at the end of the reporting period.
Dividends declared by the Company after the reporting period are not
recognized as liability at the end of the reporting period. Dividends
declared after the reporting period but before the issue of financial
statements are not recognized as liability since no obligation exists at
that time. Such dividends are disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements.

Note No. 39.2.1 - Credit Risk Management
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 carrying amount of following financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Trade Receivables
The Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends
and ageing of accounts receivable. Individual risk limits are set accordingly. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are normally 30 to
60 days credit term. The Company performs impairment analysis at each reporting date using expected credit loss model. The Company does
not hold collateral as security.
Other Financial Assets
"The company has limited credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents as the balances are maintained with banks with high credit rating.
Hence, these are low risk items.
The company evaluates the recoverability of Other financial assets at each reporting date and the same are written off when there is no
reasonable expectation of recovery. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss."
Note No. 39.2.2 - 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 reasonable price. The company's
treasury department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies related to such risks
are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the company's net liquidity position through rolling forecast on the basis of expected
cash flows.
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 loan borrowings.
The Company manages market risk through a treasury department, which evaluates and exercises independent control over the entire process
of market risk management. The treasury department recommends risk management objectives and policies, which are approved by Senior
Management and the Audit Committee. The activities of this department include management of cash resources, borrowing strategies, and
ensuring compliance with market risk limits and policies.
a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
In order to optimize the company's position with regards to the interest income and interest expenses and to manage the interest rate risk, treasury
performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by balancing the proportion of fixed rate and floating rate financial instru¬
ments in its total portfolio.
With all other variables held constant, the following table demonstrates the impact of the borrowing cost on floating rate portion of loans and
borrowings and excluding loans on which interest rate swaps are taken.
b) Foreign currency risk
The company does not operate internationally and hence not exposed to currency risk on account of its receivables or payables in foreign
currency.
c) Commodity Price Risk
Principal Raw Material for company’s products is scrap and pig iron. Company sources its raw material requirements from domestic markets.
Domestic market price generally remains in line with international market prices. Volatility in metal prices, currency fluctuation of rupee vis a

Company effectively manages availability of material as well as price volatility through well planned procurement and inventory strategy and
also through appropriate contracts and commitments.
