The Company is exposed to market risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company'ssenior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management assesses the financialrisks 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 effecton realizable fair values or future cash flows to the Company. The Company's activities expose it primarily to thefinancial risks of changes in price and interest rates as future specific market changes cannot be normally predictedwith reasonable accuracy.
i. Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate becauseof changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates aremanaged 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 costmethod using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. Theserates are considered to reflect the market rate of interest and hence the carrying value are considered to be at fairvalue.
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 associatedwith gold price fluctuations relating to the inventory lying with the Company. Such derivative financial instrumentsare primarily in the nature of future commodity contracts and forward foreign exchange contracts. The riskmanagement strategy against gold price fluctuation also includes procuring gold on loan basis, with a flexibility tofix 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 Boardof Directors, which provide written principles on the use of such instruments consistent with the Company's riskmanagement strategy
As the value of the derivative instrument generally changes in response to the value of the hedged item, theeconomic relationship is established.
