Fair value is the price 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 in the principal or, in its absence, in the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk. The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price i.e. fair value of the consideration given or received.
Accounting classification and fair values
Carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy, are presented below. It does not include the fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Previous Year figures are given in brackets.
The carrying value of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, current loans, trade payables and other financial assets and liabilities are considered to be the same as their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of non-current financial assets is not materially different than its carrying value.
The fair value of financial instruments as referred to in note above have been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in valuation technique. The hierarchy gives highest priority to quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The categories used are as follows:
Level - 1: Hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted price. Mutual funds are valued at the closing NAV.
Level - 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation technique which maximize 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.
Level - 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level - 3.
(B) Financial Risk Management
The Company's business activities expose it to various risks viz: market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk. The Board of Directors of the Company has approved a risk management policy to address and mitigate the risks associated with the business of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company regularly monitors and reviews the risks and takes actions to respond to and mitigate the risks.
Various sources of risks and their management in the financial statements is given below:
Credit Risks
Credit risk arises on account of credit exposure to customers, loans given to parties, security deposits given, deposits with banks and financial institution. The credit risk is assessed and managed on an ongoing basis. The Company uses its internal market intelligence while dealing with the customers and parties to whom loans are given. The Company manages the credit risk based on internal rating system. The Company has dealings only with nationalized and high rated private banks and financial institutions for its banking transactions and placement of deposits.
Default of a financial asset occurs when the counterparty fails to make contractual payment within 365 days of due date of payment. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which the entity operates, ongoing business relationship with the counterpart and other macro - economic factors.
Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk management involves management of the Company's short-, medium- and long-term fund requirement efficiently by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalent and availability of funding through adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet the obligations when due. The management of the Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining adequate surplus cash in short term deposits. The management regularly monitors the forecast of liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.
Market Risk
Market risk can arise on account of fluctuation in future market prices which will impact the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments. The fluctuation in market price can be in the form of Currency Risk, Interest Rate Risk or other price risk such as Equity Price Risk. The Company is not exposed to Currency Risk as it does not have any foreign exchange exposure. Similarly the Company does not have any equity price risk as it does not have any material investment in equity shares nor does the Company trade in any investment. The Company manages Interest Rate Risk on its loan exposures by controlling the exposure within acceptable parameters and at the same time getting optimum returns on its surplus funds.
Foreign Currency Risk
The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates may have potential impact on the income statement and equity, where transaction references more than one currency or where assets/liabilities are denominated in currency other than functional currency of the entity. Considering the countries and economic development in which Company operates, its operations are subject to risks arising from fluctuations in exchange rate in those countries. The Company primarily is working in the local environment hence it is not exposed to major foreign currency risks.
