Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-thecounter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely aslittle as possible on entity-specific estimates. 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, the instrument is included in level 3. Thisis the case for unlisted equity securities, contingent consideration and indemnification asset included in level 3.

Note 35 Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose ofthese financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include loans, currentinvestments, trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Company’s business activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks, namely liquidity risk, market risk and credit risk. TheCompany’s senior management has the overall responsibility for establishing and governing the Company’s risk managementframework. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company,to set and monitor controls, periodically review changes in market conditions and reflect the changes in the policy accordingly.The key risks and mitigating actions are also placed before the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of the Company.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will face in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company’sapproach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due without incurringunacceptable losses. In doing this, management considers both normal and stressed conditions.
The Company maintained a cautious liquidity strategy, with a positive cash balance throughout most of the year ended March31,2025 and March 31,2024. Cash flow from operating activities provides the funds to service the financial liabilities on a day-to-day basis.
The Company regularly monitors the rolling forecasts to ensure it has sufficient cash on an on-going basis to meet operationalneeds. Any short term surplus cash generated, over and above the amount required for working capital management and otheroperational requirements, is retained as cash and cash equivalents (to the extent required).
The Company’s size and operations result in it being exposed to the following market risks that arise from its use of financialinstruments:
1. Currency Risk
2. Interest Rate Risk
The above risks may affect the Company’s income and expenses, or the value of its financial instruments. The Company’sexposure to and management of these risks are explained below.
The Company is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency values impact the Company’s exports revenue and importsof raw material and property, plant and equipment. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from variouscurrency exposures, primarily with respect to US Dollar, Euro and YEN.
Interest rate risk results from changes in prevailing market interest rates, which can cause a change in the fair value of fixed-rateinstruments and changes in the interest payments of the variable-rate instruments. To hedge interest rate risk, a mix of variableand fixed instruments is judiciously applied for financing the Company’s requirement.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counter-party fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited, due to the Company’s customer base being large anddiverse. Further majority of the Company’s customers are Companies with strong financial stability. All trade receivables arereviewed and assessed for default on a quarterly basis, through detailed review with the business teams.
Credit to be given to a customer is assessed based on credit quality of the customer and individual credit limits are defined inaccordance with this assessment.
Our historical experience of collecting receivables is that credit risk is low. Hence, trade receivables are considered to be a singleclass of financial assets.
