The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrumentcould be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidationsale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
1. The Company except other investment, which has been measured at fair Value through othercomprehensive income, has disclosed financial instruments such as loans, trade receivables, cash andcash equivalents, other bank balances, trade payables, other financial assets and liabilities at carryingvalue because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of the fair values due to theirshort-term nature.
2. Financial instruments with fixed and variable interest rates are evaluated by the Company based onparameters such as interest rates and individual credit worthiness of the counter party. Based on thisevaluation, allowances are taken to the account for the expected losses of these receivables.
This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial ^instruments that are measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financialstatements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, theCompany has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accountingstandard.
The following is the hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments byvaluation technique:
• Level 1 - The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly tradedderivatives and equity securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reportingperiod. These instruments are included in level 1.
• Level 2 - The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (forexample, traded bonds, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniqueswhich maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specificestimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, theinstrument is included in level 2.
• Level 3 - If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, theinstrument is included in level 3. This is the case for other investments, loans receivables and leasereceivables included in level 3.
The finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assetsand liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reportsdirectly to the chief financial officer (CFO) including board of directors. Discussions of valuation processesand results are held between the CFO and the valuation team every month. The Company takes the helpof independent valuers for valuation purposes.
The carrying amounts of trade receivables, trade payables, creditors towards capital goods, cash and cashequivalents, other investment and other bank balances are considered to be the same as their fair values,due to their short-term nature.
The fair values financial assets and liabilities consisting of loans receivable, lease receivable, lease liabilities,security deposits receivable and security deposit payable were calculated based on cash flows discountedusing estimated borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due tothe inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.
The Company's principal financial liabilities comprises of borrowings, lease liabilities, deposits fromdealers, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance theCompany operations. Further, the Company has financial risk / exposure of financial guarantees given toRevenue towards security against pending GST matter, however, considering that there is no expectedcredit losses, there is no financial liability as at the year end on this account.
