FROM THE DESK OF THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholders,

Dear Shareholders, Dear Shareholders, Dear Shareholders, Dear Shareholders, Dear Shareholders, Dear Shareholders,
It gives me immense pleasure to write to you.
The financial year that went by has been the most challenging for all of us. The world
experienced an unprecedented setback in the face of COVID-19, which resulted in
the global economy witnessing one of the worst contractions since World War II.
The year gone by saw people across the world being largely confined to their homes
with several travel restrictions in place. They faced myriad personal and professional
challenges perhaps never before encountered in our lifetime. This obviously had an
effect on the economy with the world officially being plunged into recession
Despite the initial setbacks during this financial year, we concentrated on
strengthening the core of our business and stay resilient to challenging environment.
However, after five years of exceptional performance, the numbers stack up as
follows on standalone and consolidated level basis:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Macro Overview

The world economy, including the Indian economy, witnessed a downturn during the financial year 2020-21, because of the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as described in the following sections. The spread and mutation of the virus remains a cause for concern, while rapid vaccination gives some room for comfort.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK UNDER THE PANDEMIC:

The world output contracted by about 3.2% in Calendar Year (CY) 2020, because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as per estimates of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its latest World Economic Outlook released in July 2021. Though the global economy shrank in CY 2020, prospects of global output growth improved during the last few months of the year, with more and more economies adapting to new working conditions and the rollout of vaccines against COVID-19, supported by strong fiscal stimulus in most countries. The gain in the prices of energy and base metal commodities was also an indication of a recovery in economic activities. The IMF forecasts global output to grow by about 6% for CY 2021, while cautioning about uncertainties such as ineffectiveness of vaccines against the evolving new strains of the virus, uneven spread of vaccination, varying effectiveness of policy actions, fluctuations in global commodity prices etc. Thus, even if the global economy starts to recover in 2021, the strength of the recovery is subject to a number of uncertainties.

On the domestic front, the Indian economy registered an expansion in the third and fourth quarters of the financial year (FY) 2020-21, after contracting during the first two quarters. This led to an overall contraction in GDP by 7.3% during FY 2020-21, as per the latest estimates by the Central Statistical Organization (CSO). In FY 2021-22, India’s GDP is expected to grow by about 9.5%, according to the estimates released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its Monetary Policy Statement of June 4, 2021. The growth is expected to be associated with rapid adoption of COVID19 compatible occupational models in many sectors, resumed domestic and export demand, strong rural growth from a normal monsoon, rapid vaccination and supportive fiscal and monetary policies. However, the downside risks such as rising crude oil prices contributing to inflationary pressures, mutating and new strains of the virus leading to new waves of infections, spread of the

==> picture [36 x 151] intentionally omitted <==

pandemic in rural areas and tardy progress or uncertainty over vaccination remain causes for concern in achieving the expected growth.

Going ahead, while the economy is recovering fast with projected GDP growth in FY 22 around 9% (compared to degrowth of around 7.3% in FY 21), the second COVID wave or the possibility of a third wave does pose near term challenges and its impact is yet to pan out fully. However, global recovery remains strong and should result in spill overs to India through trade, prices, and flows channel. Macro-environment thus augurs well for India’s business cycle as well as financial sector.

GLOBAL COMMODITY MARKETS:

Global commodity prices witnessed mixed trends across different segments during CY 2020 and the first quarter of CY 2021. As per data released by the World Bank in its Commodity Market Outlook (April 2021), prices of energy commodities recorded a steep fall in CY 2020 as average prices of crude oil and natural gas fell by over 32% and 26% respectively in 2020 over 2019, due to the pandemicinduced lockdown. Energy prices, however, recovered significantly with resumption of economic activity in the first quarter of CY 2021 with a year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth of about 21% and 77% in Crude Oil and Natural Gas prices respectively, on an average. Base metals prices continued the falling trend for the second year in CY 2020 with about 5% fall, but recovered sharply by about 34% on average Y-oY during January-March 2021.

In contrast, global prices of precious metals rose by about 27% in CY 2020 over CY 2019 on average and continued to gain in the first quarter of CY 2021. Prices of agricultural commodities as a whole gained moderately during CY 2020, dominated by grains, vegetable oils, sugar etc., though prices of cotton and livestock products witnessed a fall during the year. Nevertheless, in the first quarter of CY 2021, prices of all agricultural commodities increased at an average rate of about 20%, compared to the same quarter in the previous year, as per World Bank estimates.

Industry structure and developments

The Indian commodity futures landscape has been evolving and the national commodity exchanges have made a big headway since their inception, with volumes surging with every passing year. The turnover on the

Annual Report 2020 – 21 | Management Discussion and Analysis

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Indian commodity bourses has increased exponentially after electronic trading was introduced in 2003. Commodity Exchanges such as MCX and NCDEX are introducing newer and newer commodity derivatives such as option trading in gold and crude oil, futures in copper, cardamom etc.

In recent years, with the globalization of the Indian economy and sensitivity of prices of commodities to global factors, commodities have witnessed heightened price volatility. This has exposed all stakeholders to price shocks, from primary producers, such as farmers, to end/users, such as the manufacturing sector.

A set of conditions such as changing nature of agricultural production, rising price spread, food inflation, nonremunerative returns to the farmer, seemingly outdated agricultural marketing practices and advent of technology created and supported the necessity of reforms in agricultural marketing. Government through its legislative power safeguards the eco-system of agri-produces and integrate the market from producer of agri-products to agri-marketing.

==> picture [249 x 93] intentionally omitted <==

Trading in Agri – Commodities thus is continually evolving with markets being integrated through technological adoptions, regulatory enforcements, Market access to farmers, contract farming’s, direct marketing of agri – produces, farmer produces organizations and on–going development of market infrastructure by government and its participants i.e. farmers, traders, warehousing facilities etc.

Although India has to cover a long distance to be able to harness the potential in many commodities, it has substantial opportunities to develop consumer demand and uncover latent consumption. Despite having significant benefits, commodities trading has been mostly limited to large corporates, trading houses and high net worth individuals (HNIs). Steps such as lifting the ban on futures trading in commodities, approving new exchanges which offer modern infrastructure and systems, and removing legal hurdles to attract more participants have

increased the scope of commodity derivatives trading in India. This has boosted both the spot market and the futures market in the country. The trading volumes are increasing while the list of commodities traded on the national commodity exchanges also continues to expand.

The commodity markets are at a juncture where investment in education and research is important to sustain their growth. Exchanges in India have been taking various initiatives to systematically develop markets through continuous innovation, education and research focused on spreading awareness of the modern trading mechanisms facilitated by commodity exchanges.

The Indian currency derivatives market has experienced an impressive growth since its introduction of currency futures and options. Currency futures has proved to be a good tool for hedging the risk involved in the currency of a country (currency risk). Currency futures and options are traded under exchange traded and over – the – counter. The growth in terms of volumes and participants in the Exchange Traded Currency Derivative Segment would improve the process of assimilation various global and domestic economic information into the markets while it discovers its exchange rates. Extension of trading hours would also help participation in the exchange traded currency derivatives markets to mature in terms of reflecting information into markets and thereby become efficient in their price discovery process, besides remaining as the cost effective market for participants.

Indian commodity derivatives markets, in contrast with global markets, registered little change in trading activity during FY 2020-21, with the total value of commodity derivatives traded across all exchanges at ₹ 92.23 lakh crore. In the Futures segment, the Average Daily Turnover (ADT) clocked by all exchanges together decreased by about 5% to ₹ 32,897 crore during the FY 2020-21 from ₹ 34,624 crore during FY 2019-20. Further, in terms of volumes of contracts traded, the Indian commodity futures market shrank by about 45% to 21.55 crore contracts in 2020-21 compared to 38.87 crore in the previous year. Unlike volumes of commodity futures traded in global markets, Indian commodity futures witnessed a steep reduction in volumes across all the segments, predominantly in energy and base metal segments.

However, futures trading in Base Metals and Agricultural commodities during the year remained nearly at the same level as that in the previous year.

Opportunities and Threats

Trading in Commodities and Derivatives are subject to inherent risks such as credit risk, margin risk, volatility in prices of commodities and currencies, political risk, leverage risk, operational risk such as high transaction costs, regulatory changes, interest rate risk, warehousing and storage cost etc..

Your Management believes in any market, the biggest risk is not having a complete understanding of the business. Hence your management adopts focused based

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

approaches in trading in order to reduce the risk and create a sustainable value creation for its stakeholders.

Going forward, on account of introduction of more and more agri-commodity derivative products on commodity exchanges and liberalisation of agri – commodity markets, your management believes there are lucrative opportunities in trading in agri – commodities and derivatives by staying disciplined to the trading approaches finalized by the management.

There is a huge opportunity to move the gold and diamond business from unorganized to organized space in many countries including India and China. The organized segment has tremendous growth prospects. Growing consciousness of branded jewellery, increasing purchasing power in the Tier I & II locations, and increasing demand for diamond jewellery are major opportunities for the next 10 to 15 years. The major threat could be changes in government policy with regard to import and export of gold products.

W.r.t. Pharmaceuticals, the Indian pharmaceutical industry is the world’s third largest in terms of volume and ranks 11th in terms of value. It is among the faster-growing markets and the largest exporter of generic drugs by volume. Outside of the US, India has the largest number of USFDA-approved pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. Over the last year, India played a crucial role in supplying therapeutic drugs for COVID-19 treatment across the world and is also one of the key manufacturers of some of the COVID-19 vaccines. Going forward, India is likely to maintain a leadership position in the manufacture and supply of high-quality generic medicines as well as a major manufacturer of COVID-19 vaccines.

The Indian pharmaceutical market recorded 9.5% CAGR between 2016-20 to reach US$21 Billion. It is expected to grow at 7.5-10.5% CAGR to US$28-32 Billion by 2025.

In the Software domain, In the future, we expect intensified competition. In particular, we expect increased competition from firms that offer technology based trading software’s, However the size of market is large and would offer room to all the participant to operate better and in profitable.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To,

The Members of Abans Enterprises Limited

Report on the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Abans Enterprises Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “Standalone Financial Statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at, March 31, 2021, its Profit including Other Comprehensive Income and its Cash flows, and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears, to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134 (5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the Financial Position, Financial Performance including Other Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and the Statement Of Changes in Equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 , as amended.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provision of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of the appropriate accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that we are operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether company has in place an adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

“Annexure B” to Independent Auditors’ Report referred to in paragraph 2(f) under the heading “Report on other legal and regulatory requirements” of our report of even date.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub/section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the Internal Financial Control over financial reporting of Abans Enterprises Limited (“the company”) as of March 31, 2021, in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year then ended.

Management Responsibility for the Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

  • i. pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

  • ii. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and

  • iii. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, considering nature of business, size of operations and organizational structure of the entity, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021 based on the Internal Control over Financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of Internal Control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial reporting issued by the ICAI.

Its shares are listed on BSE Limited and Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India Limited. Its registered office is situated at 36/37/38A, 3rd Floor, 227, Nariman Bhavan Backbay Reclamation, Nariman Point, Mumbai – 400021. The Company is engaged in general trading of agri commodities, Precious metal and trading in derivatives on recognized exchange.

The Financial statements were approved for issuance by the Company’s Board of Director on June 30, 2021.

1.1. SUMMARY OF THE SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) BASIS FOR PREPARATION OF ACCOUNTS

The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended. The Company has complied with the roadmap notified by the The Ministry of “Corporate Affairs” (MCA) to implement Ind AS.

The Financial Statement have been prepared under historical cost convention basis except the following assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value or revalued amounts.

  1. Certain Financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);

  2. Certain Financial instruments measured at fair value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL);

  3. Defined Benefit Plan asset measured at fair value;

The functional and presentation currency of the company is Indian rupees. This financial statement is presented in Indian rupees. Due to rounding off, the numbers presented throughout the document may not add up precisely to the totals and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

(b)

USE OF ESTIMATES

The presentation of the financial statements are in conformity with the Ind AS which requires the management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Such estimates and assumptions are based on management's evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as on the date of financial statements. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to the accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the Financial Statements.

(c) CURRENT VERSUS NON-CURRENT CLASSIFICATION

All assets and liabilities have been classified as Current or Non-Current as per the Company's normal operation cycle i.e. twelve months and other criteria set out in the Schedule III of the Act.

(d)

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTS

Items of Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

(Amount in ₹ )

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

(e) IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication based on internal /external factors, that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

(f) INVESTMENTS

Investments in Subsidiaries and other investments of long term nature are carried at cost in the financial statements. Provision for diminution is made, if of permanent nature.

Other Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long-term investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis.

(g) INVENTORIES

Items of Inventory are measured at lower of the cost and Net Realizable value. Cost of inventory comprises of cost of purchase and other cost incurred to acquire it. The cost formula used for this purpose is first in first out (FIFO) method and includes direct cost incurred in bringing the items of inventory to their present location and condition.

(h) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents comprise cash and deposits with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(i)

PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

(j) CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

(Amount in ₹ )

Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of: -

  • a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation

-a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible - a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.

(k) FINANCIAL ASSETS & LIABILITIES

(i) Financial assets

The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets (other than investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures) are measured either at: i) fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss) or, ii) amortized cost

Measured at amortized cost:

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) method less impairment, if any, the amortization of EIR and loss arising from impairment, if any is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI) net of taxes. Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognized in Profit and Loss. Gains or Losses on De-recognition In case of investment in equity instruments classified as the FVOCI, the gains or losses on de-recognition are reclassified to retained earnings. In case of Investments in debt instruments classified as the FVOCI, the gains or losses on de–recognition are reclassified to statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):

A financial asset not classified as either amortized cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognized as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company measures all its investments in equity (other than investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures) and mutual funds at FVTPL. Changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in Profit and Loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVTPL are recognised in Profit and Loss.

Impairment of financial assets:

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost, FVTPL and FVOCI and debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivable only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS - 109 Financial Instruments, De-recognition.

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

(Amount in ₹ )

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

A financial asset is de-recognized only when

i) The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

ii) Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is de-recognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not de-recognized. Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is de-recognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Classification as debt or equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities other than those measured at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognized in Profit and Loss.

De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Offsetting financial instruments:

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

The company has defined its financial assets and liabilities below:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

Trade Payables

These amounts represent liability for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid either within 30 days of recognition or as per terms of trade. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period.

Trade Receivables

These amounts represent receivables for goods and services provided by the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually received within 30 days of recognition or as per terms of trade. Trade and other receivables are presented as current assets unless payment is not due within 12 months after the

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

(Amount in ₹ )

reporting period.

(l) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government

1) Sale of Goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is exclusive of tax which is collected on behalf of government.

2) Profit/(Loss) on derivatives

Profit/ (Loss) on derivatives contracts on account of fair value changes are recognised as either income or expenses as the case may be in the profit and loss statement.

3) Interest Income

Interest is recognized on time proportion basis.

4) Other Income

Other income is recognized only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made.

(m)

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION

Depreciation is calculated to systematically allocate the cost of Property, Plant and Equipment net of the estimated residual values over the estimated useful life. Depreciation is computed using Straight Line Method (SLM) over the useful lives of the assets as specified in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the item of Property, Plant and Equipment. The asset's residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Assets Amortization Period
Computers 3Years

(n) LEASES

Ind AS 116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. A lessee recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Ind AS 116 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in Ind AS 17. The Company will adopt Ind AS 116, effective annual reporting period beginning 1 April 2019.

The right-of-use asset is recognised at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 April 2019. In accordance with the standard, the Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.

(o)

INCOME TAXES

The income tax expense is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities attributable to temporary difference.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period i.e. as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as amended from time to time. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

(Amount in ₹ )

to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on the rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the country where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax is provided in full on temporary difference arising between the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in standalone financial statements. Deferred tax amounts of income taxes recoverable in future periods in respect of deductible temporary differences.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred Tax Assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current and Deferred Tax is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, The carrying amount of Deferred Tax Assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the Deferred Tax Asset to be utilized. Unrecognized Deferred Tax Assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

(p) BORROWING COSTS

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs.

(q)

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company operates the following post-employment schemes:

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

  • A. Defined benefit plans Gratuity; and

  • B. Defined contribution Plan - Provident Fund

Defined benefit plans – Gratuity Obligations

The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

(Amount in ₹ )

statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

EARNING PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit / (loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average numbers of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted at the beginning of the year and not issued at a later date.

In computing the diluted EPS, potential equity shares that either increase earnings per share or decrease loss per equity share, being anti-dilutive are ignored.

(Amount in ₹ )

standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  1. Credit risk

  2. Liquidity risk and

  3. Market risk

1. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to perform or pay amounts due to the Company causing financial loss. It arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, security deposits, loans given and principally from credit exposures to customers relating to outstanding receivables. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at reporting date. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by the Company, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. Where available at reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. The Company’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties.

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any company of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in various geographical areas. The Company has no history of customer default, and considers the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good. The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, mutual funds, bank deposits, loans and derivative financial instruments is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable organisations with high quality external credit ratings. Company provides for expected credit losses on financial assets by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the assets have very low credit risk, and are for varied natures and purpose, there is no trend that the company can draws to apply consistently to entire population. For such financial assets, the Company's policy is to provide for 12 month expected credit losses upon initial recognition and provides for lifetime expected credit losses upon significant increase in credit risk. The Company does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised on such assets considering their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions, if any, are disclosed under each sub-category of such financial assets.

2. Liquidity Risk:

Liquidity Risk is defined as the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or meets its obligations on time at a reasonable price In addition; processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Company’s net liquidity through rolling forecasts of expected cash flows.

Exposure to Liquidity Risk

40. IMPACT ON BUSINESS DUE TO COVID -19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) officially declared COVID-19, the disease caused by novel coronavirus, a pandemic. It continued to progress and evolve from the year end till the date of signing of this financials. Due to it’s nature, it is challenging at this juncture, to predict the full extent and duration of its impact on financial performance and business. However, management is closely monitoring the evolution of this pandemic and has evaluated and re-assessed it’s impact on all major class of assets, liabilities, income and expenditures which are likely to have significant impact on the operations, profitability and continuity of the business. Areas of re-assessment include:

1. Asset impairment- Our assets consist of investments, unsettled receivables for trade and advances for trade. The investments are of long term in nature and receivable are being settled on the basis of contractual terms without any substantial delay/ delinquencies. Management don’t see any impairment on these assets.

2. Expected credit loss- Receivables and advances are being recovered wherever applicable without any delinquencies, management do not expect any additional credit loss on the same.

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

3. Inventory - Nature of Inventory does not pose any physical and market risk and based on present market conditions management do not forsee any loss on account of sale or its ultimate collection.

4. Debt repayment- Projected cash flow reflects ability of the company to discharge it debts in form of working capital loan as per contractual terms through realisation of current assets.

5. Fair value measurement - There are no indicators (except accounted for) which requires further provision / disclosure to the carrying value based on fair value measurement.

6. Revenue– Company operates in two different segments viz trading in derivatives on recognised exchanges and trading in physical commodities. The business of trading in derivatives on recognised exchange does not have any impact of Covid-19. The other segment of the business is trading in physical commodities, which has temporary impact due to restrictions on physical movement of goods due to nationwide lockdown imposed by government. However the management is of the view, this being temporary in nature will not have any substantial impact on long term business prospects of the company.

Based on above, Management is of the view that till date there is no significant impact of COVID-19 which requires adjustment to the carrying value of it’s assets and liabilities and provide for losses. Management currently has an appropriate response plan in place. Management will continue to monitor and assess the on going development and respond accordingly.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To,

The Members of the Abans Enterprises Limited

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the Consolidated financial statements of Abans Enterprises Limited (“hereinafter referred to as the Parent Company”) and its subsidiaries (the Parent Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”), which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as “the consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us and based on the consideration of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements and on the other financial information of the subsidiaries, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of their consolidated state of affairs of the Group as at March 31, 2021, their consolidated profit including other comprehensive income, their consolidated cash flows and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Group, in accordance with the ‘Code of Ethics’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no keyaudit matters to be communicated in our report.

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

Information Other than the Consolidated Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report

The Parent Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Directors Report including Annexures but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Parent’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these consolidated Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated cash flows of the company and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (IND-AS) specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provision of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of the appropriate accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that we are operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the Companies in the Group are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of Group as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether company has in place an adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group of which we are the independent auditors and whose financial information we have audited, to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

SUMMARY OF THE SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(a) BASIS FOR PREPARATION

Holding Company is listed on Bombay Stock Exchange and accordingly group has complied with the roadmap notified by The Ministry of "Corporate Affairs" (MCA) to implement Ind AS.

  1. Certain Financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI);

  2. Certain Financial instruments measured at fair value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL);

  3. Defined Benefit Plan asset measured at fair value;

The functional and presentation currency of the Group is Indian rupees. This consolidated financial statement is presented in Indian rupees. Due to rounding off, the numbers presented throughout the document may not add up precisely to the totals and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures. This being the first year of consolidation; previous year / comparable figures are not provided.

(b) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the group companies. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the following basis:

  • (i) The consolidated financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries are combined on a line by line basis by adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cashflows, after fully eliminating intra-group balances and intra-group transactions.

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

  • (ii) In case of foreign subsidiaries, revenue items are consolidated at the average rate prevailing during the year. All assets and liabilities are converted at the rates prevailing at the end of the year. Any exchange difference arising on consolidation is recognised in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve.

  • (iii) The carrying amount of parent's investment in each subsidiary and parent's portion of equity of each subsidiary is offset.

  • (iv) Non-controlling interest's share of profit / loss of consolidated subsidiaries for the year is identified and adjusted against the income of the group in the order to arrive at the net income attributable to shareholders of the group.

  • (v) Non-controlling interest's share of net assets of consolidated subsidiaries is identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet separate from the liabilities and the equity of the Company's shareholders.

(c) USE OF ESTIMATES

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

(Amount in ₹)

The presentation of the financial statements are in conformity with the Ind AS which requires the management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Such estimates and assumptions are based on management's evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as on the date of financial statements. The actual outcome may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to the accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgment or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgments is included in relevant notes together with information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the Financial Statements.

(d) CURRENT VERSUS NON-CURRENT CLASSIFICATION

All assets and liabilities have been classified as Current or Non-Current as per the Group's normal operation cycle i.e. twelve months and other criteria set out in the Schedule III of the Act.

(e) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENTS (PP&E)

Items of Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Capital work in progress is carried at cost and capitalised when the asset is ready to be put to use.

(f) INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Cost comprises the acquisition price, development cost and any attributable / allocable incidental cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination that qualify for separate recognition are recognised as intangible assets at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The useful life of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

All finite-lived intangible assets, are accounted for using the cost model whereby intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortised over the useful life. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

When an intangible asset is disposed of, the gain or loss on disposal is determined as the difference between the proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss within ‘other income’ or ‘other expenses’ respectively.

(g) IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication based on internal /external factors, that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss. All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

(h) INVESTMENTS

Other investments of long term nature are carried at cost in the financial statements. Provision for dimunition is made ,if of permanent nature.

Other Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis.

(i) INVENTORIES

Items of Inventory are measured at lower of the cost and Net Realizable value. Cost of inventory comprises of cost of purchase and other cost incurred to acquire it.

The cost formula used for this purpose is first in first out (FIFO) method and includes direct cost incurred in bringing the items of inventory to their present location and condition.

(j) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents comprise cash and deposits with banks. The Group considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents.

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(k) PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the Statement of Profit and Loss net of any reimbursement. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

(l) CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit and loss net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Contingent liability is disclosed in the case of: -

  • a present obligation arising from past events, when it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation

-a present obligation arising from past events, when no reliable estimate is possible - a possible obligation arising from past events, unless the probability of outflow of resources is remote.

(m) FINANCIAL ASSETS & LIABILITIES

(i) Financial assets

The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets (other than investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures) are measured either at: i) fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss) or, ii) amortized cost

Measured at amortized cost:

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (‘EIR’) method less impairment, if any, the amortization of EIR and loss arising from impairment, if any is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):

Financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both, selling financial assets and collecting contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Fair value movements are recognized in the other comprehensive income (OCI) net of taxes. Interest income measured using the EIR method and impairment losses, if any are recognized in Profit and Loss. Gains or Losses on De-recognition In case of investment in equity instruments classified as the FVOCI, the gains or losses on de-recognition are reclassified to retained earnings. In case of Investments in debt instruments classified as the FVOCI, the gains or losses on de–recognition are reclassified to statement of Profit and Loss.

Measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL):

A financial asset not classified as either amortized cost or FVOCI, is classified as FVTPL. Such financial assets are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value, including interest income and dividend income if any, recognized as ‘other income’ in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group measures all its investments in equity (other than investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures) and mutual funds at FVTPL. Changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in Profit and Loss. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVTPL are recognised in Profit and Loss.

Impairment of financial assets:

The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost, FVTPL and FVOCI and debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivable only, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS - 109 Financial Instruments.

A financial asset is de-recognized only when

i) The Group has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or

ii) Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

(Amount in ₹ )

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Group evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is de-recognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not de-recognized. Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is de-recognized if the Group has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Group retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

(ii) Financial liabilities

Classification as debt or equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value.

Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities other than those measured at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with all changes in fair value recognized in Profit and Loss.

De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Offsetting financial instruments:

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Balance Sheet where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparty.

The Group has defined its financial assets and liabilities below:.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid financial instruments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and having original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.

Trade Payables

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

These amounts represent liability for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition or as per the terms of trade. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period.

Trade Receivables

These amounts represent receivables for goods and services provided by the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually received within 30 days of recognition or as per the terms of trade. Trade and other receivables are presented as current assets unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period.

(n) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

(Amount in ₹)

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duties collected on behalf of the government

a) Sale of Goods, software & services:

Revenue from the sale of product and service is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on delivery of the goods. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is exclusive of tax which is collected on behalf of government.

b) Profit/(Loss) on derivatives

Profit/ (Loss) on derivatives contracts on account of fair value changes are recognised as either income or expenses as the case may be in the Profit and Loss statement.

c) Interest Income

Interest is recognized on time proportion basis.

d) Other Income

Other income is recognized only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made.

(o) DEPRECIATION AND AMORTISATION

Depreciation is calculated to systematically allocate the cost of Property, Plant and Equipment net of the estimated residual values over the estimated useful life. Depreciation is recognised by Group based on applicable law and accounting guidance. Depreciation is recognised by Parent company on straight line method (SLM) and in case of subsidiary companies on written down value (WDV) basis.

The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the item of Property, Plant and Equipment. The asset's residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

(p) LEASES

Ind AS 116 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. A lessee recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.

The right-of-use asset is recognised at its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as at 1 April 2019. In accordance with the standard, the Group has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.

(q) INCOME TAXES:

Income Taxes

The income tax expense is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities attributable to temporary difference.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period i.e. as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961, as amended from time to time except in case of overseas subsidiary companies as applicable in the country of origin. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on the rates and tax laws enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the country where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

(Amount in ₹ )

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax is provided in full on temporary difference arising between the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in standalone financial statements. Deferred tax amounts of income taxes recoverable in future periods in respect of deductible temporary differences.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred Tax Assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current and Deferred Tax is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss, The carrying amount of Deferred Tax Assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the Deferred Tax Asset to be utilized. Unrecognized Deferred Tax Assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

(r) BORROWING COSTS

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in finance costs.

(s) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Indian entities operates the following post-employment schemes:

  • A. Defined benefit plans Gratuity; and

  • B. Defined contribution Plan - Provident Fund

Defined benefit plans – Gratuity Obligations

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

The liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Defined Contribution Plans

Eligible employees of Group receive benefits from a provident fund, which is a defined benefit plan. Both the eligible employee and the Group companies makes monthly contributions to the provident fund plan equal to a specified

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

==> picture [170 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

(Amount in ₹)

percentage of the covered employee's salary. The Group contributes a portion to Recognized provident Fund set up by Employees Provident Fund Organization of India which is deposited to government account within due date as set under Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.The rate at which the annual interest is payable to the beneficiaries by the trust is being administered by the government. Post employment benefits in case of overseas subsidiary are recognised in accordance with the applicable law and practices in the country of origin.

(t) EARNING PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit / (loss) for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average numbers of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted at the beginning of the year and not issued at a later date.

In computing the diluted EPS, potential equity shares that either increase earnings per share or decrease loss per equity share, being anti-dilutive are ignored.

(u) STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

Cash Flows of the Group are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing Cash Flows. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of the Company are segregated.

(v) SEGMENT REPORTING POLICIES:

The Group is operating in different business segments i.e. trading of commodities, trading in derivatives, manufacturing of precious metal jewelry, development of software and dealing in pharmaceutical product. Segments have been identified and reported taking into account nature of products and services, the different risk and returns and internal business reporting system.

  • Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement are (other than quoted prices) included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

There are no transfers during the year in level 1, 2 and 3. The Company policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy level as at the end of reporting period.

d. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT:

Risk management framework

The Group’s board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:-

  1. Credit Risk

  2. Liquidity Risk

  3. Market Risk

1. Credit Risk:

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to perform or pay amounts due to the Group causing financial loss. It arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, security deposits, loans given and principally from credit exposures to customers relating to outstanding receivables. The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at reporting date. The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by the Group, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. Where available at reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. The Group’s policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties.

In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Group of counterparties having similar characteristics. Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in various geographical areas. The Group has no history of customer default, and considers the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good. The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, mutual funds, bank deposits, loans and derivative financial instruments is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable organisations with high quality external credit ratings. Group's provides for expected credit losses on financial assets by assessing individual financial instruments for expectation of any credit losses. Since the assets have very low credit risk, and are for varied natures and purpose, there is no trend that the company can draws to apply consistently to entire population. For

Annual Report 2020-21 | Financial Statements

(Amount in ₹)

such financial assets, the Group's policy is to provide for 12 month expected credit losses upon initial recognition and provides for lifetime expected credit losses upon significant increase in credit risk. The Group does not have any expected loss based impairment recognised on such assets considering their low credit risk nature, though incurred loss provisions are disclosed under each sub-category of such financial assets.

3. Market Risk:

Changes in market prices which will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments is considered as market risk. It is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments.

a. Currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the US Dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency.

b. Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening /weakening of the Indian Rupee against US dollars at March 31 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in US dollars and affects profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

49. IMPACT ON BUSINESS DUE TO COVID -19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared COVID-19, the disease caused by novel corona virus, a pandemic . It continued to progress and evolve from the year end till the date of signing of this Consolidated Financial Statement. Due to its nature, it is challenging at this juncture, to predict the full extent and duration of its impact on financial performance and business. However, management is closely monitoring the evolution of this pandemic and has evaluated and re-assessed its impact on all major class of assets, liabilities, income and expenditures which are likely to have significant impact on the operations, profitabilily and continuity of the business.

The Group has evaluated impact of COVID-19 on its business operations and based on its review there is no significant impact on its financial statements.

1. Asset impairment- Our assets consist of unsettled receivables for trade and advances for trade. The receivable are being settled on the basis of contractual terms without any substantial delay/ delinquencies. Management don’t see any impairment on these assets.

2. Expected credit loss- Receivables and advances are being recovered wherever applicable without any delinquencies, management do not expect any additional credit loss on the same.

3. Inventory - Nature of Inventory does not pose any physical and market risk and based on present market conditions management do not forsee any loss on account of sale or its ultimate collection.

4. Debt repayment- Projected cash flow reflects ability of the company to discharge it debts in form of working capital loan as per contractual terms through realisation of current assets.

5. Fair value measurement - There are no indicators (except accounted for) which requires further provision / disclosure to the carrying value based on fair value measurement.

6. Revenue– Group's revenue is generated from general trading of agri commodities, precious metals, pharmaceutical products, trading in debentures, securities and derivative contracts on recognised stock exchanges and software development. The business of trading in debentures, securities and derivative contracts on recognised stock exchanges and software development does not have any impact of Covid-19. The other segment of the business is trading in physical commodities, which has temporary impact due to restrictions on physical movement of goods due to nationwide lockdown imposed by government. However the management is of the view, this being temporary in nature will not have any substantial impact on long term business prospects of the Company.

==> picture [36 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

Based on above, Management is of the view that till date there is no significant impact of COVID-19 which requires adjustment to the carrying value of it’s assets and liabilities and provide for losses. Management currently has an appropriate response plan in place. Management will continue to monitor and assess the on going development and respond accordingly.
