23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

i.    Risk management framework

The Board of directors of the Manager of the Trust has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Trust's risk management framework. The Trust's risk management framework is established to identify and analyse the key risks faced by the Trust, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management framework and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Trust's activities.

The Board of directors of the Manager of the Trust, oversees compliance with the Trust's risk management framework and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Trust. The Audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to The Audit Committee.

The Trust financial risk management is carried out by a treasury department (Trust treasury). The Trust treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks.

ii.    Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Trust if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Trust's receivables from loans given to its SPVs and cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

The Trust establishes an allowance account for impairment that represents its estimate of losses in respect of its financial assets. The main component of this allowance is estimated losses that relate to specific tenants or counterparties. The allowance account is used to provide for impairment losses. Subsequently when the Trust is satisfied that no recovery of such losses is possible, the financial asset is considered irrecoverable and the amount charged to the allowance account is then written off against the carrying amount of the impaired financial asset.

Cash at bank are placed with financial institutions which are regulated and have low risk.

As at the reporting date, there is no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of each financial asset on the Balance Sheet.

iii.    Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Trust will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Trust's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Trust's reputation.

The Trust's primary sources of liquidity include cash, undrawn borrowings, construction facilities and cash flow from operating activities. The Trust seeks to increase income from its existing properties by maintaining quality standards for its properties that promote high occupancy rates and support increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and related costs, and by controlling operating expenses.

Consequently, the Trust believes its revenue, along with proceeds from financing activities will continue to provide the necessary funds to cover its short term liquidity needs. In addition, the Trust projects cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet liquidity requirement.

25. EARNINGS PER UNIT (EPU)

Basic EPU amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year after income tax attributable to unitholders by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the year. Diluted EPU amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year after income tax attributable to unitholders by the weighted average number of units outstanding during year plus the weighted average number of units that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential units into unit capital. The units of the Trust were allotted on February 08, 2021, February 11, 2021 and January 24, 2022.

iv. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices which will affect the Trust's income 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.

26.    UNCERTAINTY RELATING TO THE GLOBAL HEALTH PANDEMIC ON COVID-19:

The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to cause disruption to business activities and adversely impacted local, regional, national and international economic conditions. Brookfield India REIT has considered possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the carrying amounts and fair value of investments in subsidiaries. The fair value of investments in subsidiaries is primarily determined basis the fair value of the underlying investment properties as at March 31, 2023. As a result, future revenues and cash flows produced by investment properties could be potentially impacted due to this prevailing uncertainty. In response, Brookfield India REIT has adjusted cash flow assumptions for its estimate of near-term disruption to cash flows to reflect collections, vacancy and assumptions with respect to new leasing activity. In addition, Brookfield India REIT has continued to assess the appropriateness of the discount and terminal capitalization rates giving consideration to changes to property level cash flows and any risk premium inherent in such cash flow changes as well as the current cost of capital and credit spreads. Further, in developing assumptions relating to possible future uncertainties in the Indian economic conditions because of this pandemic; Brookfield India REIT, as at the date of approval of these Standalone Financial Statements, has used internal and external sources of information including reports on fair valuation of investment properties from property consultants, economic forecast and other information from market sources on the expected future performance of Brookfield India REIT. Based on this analysis, Brookfield India REIT has concluded that there is no impairment to the carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries and the fair value of investments in subsidiaries disclosed in the Standalone Financial Statements represents the best estimate based on internal and external sources of information on the reporting date.

The impact of COVID-19 on Brookfield India REIT Standalone Financial Statements may differ from that estimated as at the date of approval of these Standalone Financial Statements.
