xxi. Provisions & Contingent Liabilities

Provisions are recognized in respect of obligations
where, based on the evidence available, their existence
at the balance sheet date is considered probable.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed by way of Notes
on accounts in respect of obligation where, based on
the evidence available, their existence at the balance
sheet date is considered not probable. Contingent
assets are not recognized in the accounts.

xxii. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised
when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised
at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to financial assets and liabilities [other
than financial assets and liabilities measured at fair
value through profit and loss (FVTPL)] are added to
or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets
or liabilities, as appropriate on initial recognition.
Transaction costs directly attributable to acquisition
of financial assets or liabilities measured at FVTPL are
recognised immediately in the statement of profit and
loss.

1. Non-derivative Financial assets:

All regular purchases or sales of financial assets are
recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases
or sales of financial assets that require delivery
of assets within the time frame established by
regulation or convention in market place.

2. Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances
using the expected credit loss (ECL) model for the
financial assets which are not fair valued through
profit or loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables
with no significant financing component is
measured at an amount equal to life time ECL. For
all other financial assets, expected credit losses
are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month
ECL, unless there has been a significant increase
in credit risk from initial recognition in which case

those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of
expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required
to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date
to the amount that is required to be recognised
is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in the
statement of profit and loss.

3. Foreign exchange gains and losses

The fair value of financial assets denominated in
a foreign currency is determined in that foreign
currency and translated at the spot rate at the end
of each reporting period.

For foreign currency denominated financial assets
measured at amortised cost and FVTPL, the
exchange differences are recognised in statement
of profit and loss except for those which are
designated as hedging instruments in a hedging
relationship.

For the purposes of recognising foreign exchange
gains and losses, FVTOCI debt instruments are
treated as financial assets measured at amortised
cost. Thus, the exchange differences on the
amortised cost are recognised in the statement of
profit and loss and other changes in the fair value
of FVTOCI financial assets are recognised in other
comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities

1. Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method
or at FVTPL. However, financial liabilities that arise
when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify
for de-recognition or when the continuing involvement
approach applies, financial guarantee contracts issued
by the Company, and commitments issued by the
Company to provide a loan at below-market interest
rate are measured in accordance with the specific
accounting policies set out below.

2. Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value,
with any gains or losses arising on re-measurement
recognised in statement of profit and loss. The net
gain or loss recognised in statement of profit and loss
incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability
and is included in the 'Other income/other expenses'
line item.

3. Foreign exchange gains and losses

For financial liabilities that are denominated in a
foreign currency and are measured at amortised
cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign
exchange gains and losses are determined based

on the amortised cost of the instruments and are
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The fair value of financial liabilities denominated
in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign
currency and translated at the spot rate at the end
of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that
are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange
component forms part of the fair value gains or losses
and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

III) Financial risk management

The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of loans and borrowings, lease liabilities, trade and other payables.
The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company's operations. The Company's principal financial
assets include cash, trade and other receivables that derive directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's
senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management assesses the financial
risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives.
The Board of Directors review and agree on policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.

a. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, liquidity and other factors that could have an adverse effect
on realizable fair values or future cash flows to the Company. The Company's activities expose it primarily to the
financial risks of changes in price and interest rates as future specific market changes cannot be normally predicted
with reasonable accuracy.

i. Interest rate risk

Interest rate riskistherisk thatthefairvalue or futurecash flowsof afinancial instrument willfluctuatebecause
of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates are
managed by borrowing at fixed interest rates. During the year Company did not have any floating rate borrowings.
Hence, interest rate sensitivity is not material to the financial statements.

The fair values of the Company's interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined under amortised cost
method using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. These
rates are considered to reflect the market rate of interest and hence the carrying value are considered to be at fair
value.

ii. Price risk

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in gold price (including fluctuations in foreign currency) arising on purchase/
sale of gold.

To manage the variability, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage the risk associated
with gold price fluctuations relating to the inventory lying with the Company. Such derivative financial instruments
are primarily in the nature of future commodity contracts and forward foreign exchange contracts. The risk
management strategy against gold price fluctuation also includes procuring gold on loan basis, with a flexibility to
fix price of gold at any time during the tenor of the loan.

The use of such derivative financial instruments is governed by the Company's policies approved by the Board
of Directors, which provide written principles on the use of such instruments consistent with the Company's risk
management strategy

As the value of the derivative instrument generally changes in response to the value of the hedged item, the
economic relationship is established.

The following table gives details of contracts as at the end of the reporting period:

Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue from customer. Credit risk has been managed
by the Company through proper approvals which continuously monitors the creditworthiness of the customer to
whom the Company grant credit terms in the normal course of business.

The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents are considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks
with high quality external credit ratings.

Other financial assets mainly comprises of rental deposits and are assessed by the Company for credit risk on a
continuous basis.

c. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is that the Company might be unable to meet its obligations. The Company manages its liquidity needs
by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows
and outflows due in day-to-day business. The data used for analysing these cash flows is consistent with that used
in the contractual maturity analysis below. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and
week-to-week basis, as well as on a monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis depending on the business needs. Net cash
requirements are compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. This
analysis shows that available borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over the lookout period.

The Company's objective is to maintain cash and bank's short term credit facilities to meet its liquidity requirements
for 30-day periods at a minimum. This objective was met for the reporting periods. Funding for long-term liquidity
needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

The Company considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in particular
its cash resources and trade receivables.

As at 31 March, the Company's non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities as summarised below:
