* GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the cost of acquired business as established at the date of acquisition of the business in excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or when events or circumstances indicate that the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication for impairment. The financial projections basis which the future cash flows have been estimated consider economic uncertainties, reassessment of the discount rates, revisiting the growth rates factored while arriving at terminal value and subjecting these variables to sensitivity analysis. If the recoverable amount of a CGU is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.

The estimated value-in-use of this CGU is based on the future cash flows using a 2.00% annual growth rate for periods subsequent to the forecast period of 5 years and a discount rate of 10.31%. An analysis of the sensitivity of the computation to a change in key parameters (operating margin, discount rates and long term average growth rate), based on reasonable assumptions, did not identify any probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of the CGU would decrease below its carrying amount.

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL

The Company estimates the value-in-use of the cash generating units (CGUs) based on the future cash flows after considering current economic conditions and trends, estimated future operating results and growth rate and anticipated future economic and regulatory conditions. The estimated cash flows are developed using internal forecasts. The discount rates used for the CGUs represent the weighted average cost of capital.

B. Fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that

are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:

Level 1 hierarchy - Includes Financial Instruments measured using quoted prices in the active market.

Level 2 hierarchy - The Fair value of Financial Instruments that are not traded in an active market, is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data.

Level 3 hierarchy - Includes Financial Instruments for which one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data. This is applicable for unlisted securities.

i) The Fair value of an Equity Instruments classified as at Fair value through profit or loss included under Level 3 Investments is determined using Cost approach.

ii) The Fair value of an Equity Instrument classified as at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income included under Level 3 Investments was valued by Registered valuer taking a combination of comparable companies multiple method and Discounted cash flow method in the previous year.

C. Financial risk management

The Company's business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market risk and credit risk. The Risk management policies have been established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set and monitor appropriate risk limits and controls, periodically review and reflect the changes in the policy accordingly.

a) Management of liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company's approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities . In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions.

The Company regularly monitors the rolling forecasts and the actual cash flows to service the financial liabilities on a day-to-day basis through cash generation from business and by having adequate banking facilities.

The following table shows the maturity analysis of the Company's financial liabilities based on contractually agreed undiscounted cash flows along with its carrying value as at the Balance sheet date.

b) Management of market risk

The Company is exposed to the following market risks which affects the value of the Financial instruments

1. Currency risk

2. Interest rate risk

i) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of the changes in foreign exchange rates. As at 31st March, 2025, the net un-hedged exposure to the Company on holding such financial assets and liabilities amounts to Rs. 40.52 Crores (Financial Asset)

The Company manages currency exposures by continuously monitoring the Foreign currency rates with the transaction rate and takes steps to mitigate the risk using Forward/ Derivative contracts Sensitivity to risk

A 5% strengthening of the INR against foreign currencies to which the Company is exposed (net of hedge) would have led to approximately an additional Loss of Rs. 2.03 Crores in the Statement of Profit and Loss. A 5% weakening of the INR against these currencies would have led to an equal impact but with opposite effect.

ii) Interest rate Risk

Interest rate is the risk that the Fair value of future cash flows of a financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has Rs. 124.36 Crores Borrowings at Floating rate of Interest as at 31st March, 2025 (previous year Rs. 39.29 Crores).

Sensitivity to risk

An increase in interest rate of 1% will likely to affect the profit negatively by Rs. 1.24 crores and a decrease of 1% would have led to an equal impact but with opposite effect.

c) Management of credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if the other party to the financial assets fails to meet its contractual obligations.

i) Trade Receivables:

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited as the customers are predominantly original equipment manufacturers (OEs). All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a quarterly basis. Our historical experience of collecting receivables is that credit risk is low. Refer Note (g) for accounting policy on Financial Instruments.

ii) Other Financial Assets:

The Company has exposure in Cash and cash equivalents and term deposits with banks. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31st March, 2025 is the carrying value of each class of financial assets as on that date.

Return on Equity and Net profit ratio :

The net profit for the year has improved due to lower raw material cost and cost control measures of the company.

Increase in the net profit compared to the earlier year is the reason for improvement in these ratios.

Debt service coverage ratio :

Improvement is mainly due to higher EBITDA and lower repayment of long term loans compared to earlier year.
