The objective of market risk management is to manage and controlmarket risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
Market risk comprises of:
a. Interest rate risk
b. Foreign currency risk
Financial instruments affected by market risk include other financial assets, trade receivables and trade payables.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market interest rates. Since the Company does not have any financial instrument with variable interestrates, it is not exposed to interest rate risk.

The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relatesprimarily to the Company's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency).The foreign currency to which the Company is majorly exposed to are US Dollars, EURO and GBP.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstancesindicate that it might be impaired. The Company has identified a single cash generating unit ("CGU") based on the business.The recoverable amount of CGU is determined based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to sell. The recoverablevalue was determined by value in use in cases where there is no basis for making a reliable estimate of the price at whichan orderly transaction to sell the asset would take place between market participants at the measurement date undercurrent market conditions. In determining the value in use, cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by seniormanagement have been considered.
Market related information and estimates are used to determine the recoverable amount. Key assumptions on whichmanagement has based its determination of recoverable amount include estimated long-term growth rates, weighted averagecost of capital and estimated operating margins. Cash flow projections are considered for next 5 years and consider pastexperience and represent management's best estimate about future developments. Cash flows beyond the five-year periodare extrapolated using a 2% growth rate. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections for impairment testingduring the current year is 12%. An analysis of the sensitivity of the computation of recoverable amount to a change in keyparameters, based on reasonable assumptions, did not identify any probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of theCGU would decrease below its carrying amount other than the amount.
