In order tominimize these risks, the Company has implemented risk management policies and procedures that are adopted by managementafter due evaluation of the key risks facing the business of the company.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cashflows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket prices. Market risk comprises three types of risks interest rate and currency risk.
i. Foreign Currency Risk
The Company undertakes significant transactions denominated in foreign currency with it customers in relationto Exports by 100% EOU. This results in wide exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.

The credit risk of the Company is low The exports are mademostly to worldwide reputed Corporates and otherwise backed by letter of credit or on advance basis.
Fair value of the financial instruments is classified in various fair value hierarchies based on the following three levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniqueswhich maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significantinputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The management consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets (other than those measured at fair values) and liabilitiesrecognized in the financial statements approximate their fair value as on the reporting date.
