3 Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability
or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the
Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the relevant
instrument and are initially measured at fair value.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial
liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added
to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit
or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
3.1 Financial Asset
i) Financial assets comprise of investments in Equity, Trade Receivables, Cash and Cash
Equivalents and Other Financial Assets.
ii) Depending on the business model (i.e) nature of transactions for managing those financial
assets and its contractual cash flow characteristics, the financial assets are initially
measured at fair value and subsequently measured and classified at:
a) Amortized cost; or
b) Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI); or
c) Fair value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
d) Amortized cost represents carrying amount on initial recognition at fair value plus or
minus transaction cost.
iv) The company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. On de-recognition of a financial
asset or part thereof, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of
recognition and the consideration received including any new asset obtained less any new
liability assumed shall be recognized in the statement of profit and Loss.
v) The company assesses at each balance sheet date whether the financial asset or group of
financial assets is impaired. IND AS 109 requires expected credit losses to be measured
through a loss allowance. The company recognizes lifetime expected losses for trade
receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction. For all other financial assets,
expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses
or at an amount equal to lifetime expected losses, if the credit risk on the financial asset has
increased significantly since initial recognition.
iii) Financial liabilities are derecognised when and only when it is extinguished (i.e.) when the
obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired.
iv) Upon de-recognition of its financial liabilities or part thereof, 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 recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
4. Fair value measurement
i) 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.
ii) The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured / disclosed using the assumptions that
the market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that the
market participants act in the economic best interest.
iii) All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured are disclosed in the financial
statements are categorised within fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. The fair value hierarchy is described
as below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level inputs that are significant to the
fair value measurement are directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level inputs that are significant to the
fair value measurement are unobservable.
iv) For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the Balance sheet on a recurring basis, the
company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by
reassessing categorisation at the end of each reporting period (i.e) based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole.
v) For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the company has determined the classes of assets
and liabilities based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets or liabilities and
the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
vi) The basis for fair value determination for measurement and / or disclosure purposes is
detailed below:
a. Investments in Equity
The fair value is determined by reference to their quoted prices at the reporting date. In the absence of
the quoted price, the fair value of the equity is measured using generally accepted valuation techniques.
b. Forward exchange contracts
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on the quoted price if available; otherwise, it is
estimated by discounting the difference between contractual forward price and current forward price
for the residual maturity of the contract using government bond rates.
c. Non-derivative financial liabilities
The fair value of non-derivative financial liabilities viz, borrowings are determined for disclosure
purposes calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted
at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
