The company is exposed to market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk etc. The objective of the Company''s financing policy are to secure solvency, limit financial risks and optimise the cost of capital. The Company''s capital structure is managed using equity and debt ratios as part of the Company''s financial planning.

a. Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, investments and derivative financial instruments.The Company has designed risk management framework to control various risks effectively to achieve the business objectives. This includes identification of risk, its assessment, control and monitoring at timely intervals.

The above mentioned risks may affect the Company''s income and expenses, or the value of its financial instruments. The Company''s exposure to and management of these risks are explained below:

i. Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency values impact the Company''s export, import and other payables. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to US Dollar.

ii. Forward foreign exchange contracts

It is the policy of the Company to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to cover foreign currency payments in USD. The Company enters into contracts with terms upto 90 days. The Company''s philosophy does not permit any speculative calls on the currency. It is driven by conservatism which guides that we follow conventional wisdom by use of Forward contracts in respect of Trade transactions.

Regulatory Requirements: The Company will alter its hedge strategy in relation to the prevailing regulatory framework and guidelines that may be issued by RBI, FEDAI or ISDA or other regulatory bodies from time to time. Forward cover is obtained from bank for each of the aggregated exposures and the Trade deal is booked. The forward cover deals are all backed by actual trade underlines and settlement of these contracts on maturity are by actual delivery of the hedged currency for settling the underline hedged trade transaction.

Though the Company did not enter into any forward contract during FY 2017-18, such contracts were entered into for FY 2016-17 and FY 2015-16.

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from financial assets such as trade receivables, investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments, other balances with banks, loans and other receivables. The outstanding trade receivables are regularly monitored and appropriate action is taken for collection of overdue receivables. Credit risk arising from investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments and other balances with banks is limited and there is no collateral held against these because the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by the international credit rating agencies. The companies exposure are continuously monitored.

The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss on portfolio of its Trade Receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the Trade Receivable and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historically observed default rates are updated and changes in forward-looking estimates are analysed. The Company estimates the following matrix at the reporting date.

c. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk may result from an inability to sell a financial asset quickly at close to its fair value The Company maintains a cautious liquidity strategy, with a positive cash balance throughout the year. Management monitors the Company''s liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows. Cash flow from operating activities provides the funds to service and finance the financial liabilities on a day-to-day basis.

4. Employee Benefits

The Company has classified various employee benefits as under:

A. Defined Contribution Plans

Provident Fund

State Defined Contribution Plans

Employers'' Contribution to Employees'' State Insurance Employers'' Contribution to Employees'' Pension Scheme 1995

The Provident Fund and the State Defined Contribution Plans are operated by IVP Limited Trust Fund and the Superannuation Fund is administered by IVP Limited as applicable for all eligible employees. Under the schemes, the Company is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll cost to the retirement benefit schemes to fund the benefits. These funds are recognised by the Income Tax Authorities.

vi. The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined after considering several applicable factors such as the composition of the plan assets, investment strategy, market scenario, etc. In order to protect the capital and optimise returns within acceptable risk parameters, the plan assets are well diversified.

vii. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Government of India securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of the obligations.

viii. The estimate of future salary increases considered, takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion, increments and other relevant factors.

ix. Gratuity fund asset is managed by IVP Limited has funding ratio of 100% (i.e. asset over liability ratio of 100%), which is on the top when compared to other companies, there is no material risk of the Company unable to meet the Gratuity payments. Also as the fund is set up as a trust, the monies as a part of the trust will not flow back into the company until the last employee of the trust is paid.

Note on other risks:

Interest rate risk: A fall in the discount rate which is linked to the G.Sec. Rate will increase the present value of the liability requiring higher provision. A fall in the discount rate generally increases the mark to market value of the assets depending on the duration of asset.

Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of members. As such, an increase in the salary of the members more than assumed level will increase the plan''s liability.

Investment Risk: The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit. Currently, for the plan in India, it has a relatively balanced mix of investments in government securities, and other debt instruments.

Asset Liability Matching Risk: The plan faces the ALM risk as to the matching cash flow. Since the plan is invested in lines of Rule 101 of Income Tax Rules, 1962, this generally reduces ALM risk.

Mortality risk: Since the benefits under the plan is not payable for life time and payable till retirement age only, plan does not have any longevity risk.

Note on Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumptions of the Company which are discount rate and salary assumptions as of the end of the reporting period, showing how the defined benefit obligation would have been affected by changes is called out in the table above.

The method used to calculate the liability in these scenarios is by keeping all the other parameters and the data same as in the base liability calculation except for the parameters to be stressed.

There is no change in the method from the previous period and the points /percentage by which the assumptions are stressed are same to that in the previous year.

5. Financial Instruments

Fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are defined as 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.

Valuation

i. The Fair values of investments in quoted investment in equity shares is based on the current bid price of respective investment as at the Balance Sheet date.

ii. The Fair values of investments in mutual fund units is based on the net asset value (''NAV'') as stated by the issuers of these mutual fund units in the published statements as at the Balance Sheet date. NAV represents the price at which the issuer will issue further units of mutual fund and the price at which issuers will redeem such units from the investors.

iii. The Company did not enter into any forward contracts during FY 17-18, such contracts were entered into for FY 16-17 and FY 15-16.

iv. The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost in the financial statements are a reasonable approximation of their fair values since the Company does not anticipate that the carrying amounts would be significantly different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.

Fair Value measurement heirarchy

The fair value of financial instruments as referred below have been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The categories used are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in an active market;

Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable market inputs, other than Level 1 inputs; and

Level 3: Inputs which are not based on observable market data.

6. The Company has entered into agreement in the nature of Lease or Leave and Licence agreement with different lessors/licensors for the purpose of operating its factories and offices. These agreements are generally in the nature of operating lease or leave and licence and renewable or cancellable at the option of lessees or lessors.

7. The Company has incurred an expenditure of Rs 82.51 Lakhs (2016-17: Rs 57.51 Lakhs)(2015-16: Rs 26.35 Lakhs) on improving product quality, import substitution, process modification, fuel consumption, raw material cost optimization, etc. which has been certified by the management.

8. No provision for impairment of assets of the company is required, as in the opinion of the management, realizable value of all the assets and their net present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the assets taken as a whole will realise at least the value at which they appear in the books of accounts in aggregate, as required by the Ind AS 36 on ''Impairment of Assets'' issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
