MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT

MACRO ECONOMY: REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

In the financial year 2018-19, Indian economy witnessed some degree of slowdown, especially in the second half of the fiscal year. The full financial economy growth was 7% as per government estimates. The year 2018-19 was marked by a lot of disruption and dislocations in the financial markets. Economic parameters were mixed for the year with full year Index of Industrial Production at three year low of 3.6% (vs. 4.8% last year). Inflation (Consumer Price Index) has hovered between 2% to 3% for most part of the year with pushes and pulls from food and fuel and services in different directions.

While the macro remains relatively stable for FY 2018-19, the micros showed distinct sign of slowing albeit with some divergences. So while indicators like auto sales and consumer durable growth slowed down sharply, cement sales and steel production grew smartly.

For the past five years, the growth has averaged 7.2% which is largely the average growth since the start of the new millennium. However, within the overall Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it's the manufacturing growth which has been the most encouraging with full year growth expected to be around 7.3%. Agriculture remains a concern area with full year growth expected to languish around 2.7% only.

Investment growth showed sign of pick up indicating pick up in the capex cycle. As far as investments flows are concerned, Foreign Institutional Investors turned net buyers for the year for equity (+\$ 1 billion) largely on account of primary market investments and Foreign Portfolio Investor inflows in the last quarter of the fiscal year and where the sellers in the debt markets (- \$ 7 billion). The Domestic Institutional Investors however pumped up in a sizeable commitment, upwards of Rs. 70,000 crore.

OVERALL OUTLOOK

The global economy is expected to grow at a rate of 3.3% in current year 2018-19 as compared to 3.6% in previous year 2018, as per the latest IMF estimates, owing to tensions surrounding global trade war and sluggishness in economic growth.

Domestically, growth remained a mixed bag in FY19, while persistently soft inflation print was the noteworthy factor which enabled Reserve Bank of India to cut rates in second half of FY 2018-19. There is a forecast of near normal monsoon which bodes well for interest rate cycle and agricultural growth. Industrial growth buoyed by manufacturing growth is likely to pick up further steam. The new capex cycle is also within striking distance, post the election related uncertainty. Services continue to maintain their steady growth. With GST implementation now behind and regulatory disruptions normalizing, economic activity is expected to pick pace in FY 2019-20. The formalization of the economy could also gather pace with the implementation of e-way billing and invoice matching. Consequently as Government revenues shore up, the fiscal year side too should remain within comfortable range.

While India's macros could somewhat worsen due to recent spike in oil prices, it seems to be transparent phenomenon as high oil prices are likely unsustainable given risk of supply response from the US shale oil industry and slower economic growth outlook.

In summary, the levers for growth are in place and FY20 promises to be an exciting year of economic activity and growth.

CAPITAL MARKETS

Amongst various large equity markets, India was the best performing equity market (Nifty up 15%), followed by Brazil (up 12%) and US (up 7%), whereas South Korea (down 13%), Germany (down 5%) and Italy (down 5%) were amongst the worst performers.

As far as Indian equity markets were concerned large cap indices fared much better than their mid- cap and small- cap counterparts (Nifty FY returns of 14.9% vs Nifty Mid-cap FY 2018-19 returns of -2.7%). Indian bond yield however had a mixed year, rising to nearly 8.2% in the first half of the fiscal year and then cooling off to 7.5% in the second half. The Indian equity market is expanding in terms of listed companies and market cap, widening the playing filed for brokerage firms. Sophisticated products segment is growing rapidly, reflected in the sleep rise in growth of derivative trading. With the increasing retail penetration there is immense potential to tap the untapped market. Growing financial awareness is expected to increase the fraction of population participating in equity market.

Amongst other asset classes, commodities as a whole were largely down on fears of slowing global growth and delays in trade war resolutions. Hence lead, zinc, nickel and crude oil were all down between 5% to 15%.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

In recent years, due to higher inflation, India's economy tilted more towards consumption. As inflation expectations moderate and real interest rates turn positive, that balance will shift in favor of saving leading to a higher savings ratio for the country.

Capital market activity in FY 2018-19 remained subdued owing to sharp sell-off in broader markets, liquidity issues, disrupted financial markets, election uncertainty, surge in oil prices etc. Fund raising activity took a backseat as financial markets were under pressure. One of the biggest challenges for the broking industry has long been fall in share of high yielding cash segment volumes as against low yielding derivative. Finalization of savings, which has picked up pace since Demonetization, is still lower as compared to developed nations. With SIP book now at record high and incremental investments expected into equities by pension funds, insurance companies and other long term institutional investors, money flow into equity is likely to remain robust in the future.

The future outlook for the Capital Markets is dependent upon key factors like global (and domestic) economic growth pick up, buoyancy in the primary markets, lack of alternate investment opportunities and technology up-gradation. A broad based macroeconomic recovery will lead to improved corporate profits thus supporting higher stock prices and positive equity market sentiments. FIIs have begun their buying spree since past few weeks which we expect to stay for a while considering improving India's macro. This shall keep the capital market conditions buoyant for the forthcoming quarters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To The Members of BLB Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

    1. We have audited the financial statements of BLB Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2019, the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and Notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the financial statements").
    1. In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2019, the loss and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

  1. We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 audit opinion on the financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

    1. 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.
  • S.No. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter i) Merger of subsidiaries and its accounting implications. During the year, the Company merged its four wholly owned subsidiaries - BLB Commodities Ltd, BLB Global Business Ltd, Caprise Commodities Ltd and Sri Sharadamba Properties Ltd, as per the Scheme of Amalgamation approved by Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT"), Chandigarh Bench vide its Order dated 25th January, 2019 effective from the Appointed Date i.e. April 01, 2017. The merger of Subsidiaries was significant to our audit due to the complexity of the transactions and in particular the period of its implementation since April 01,2017. Such merger transactions are classified as Business combinations of entities under common control and are accounted using the "pooling of interests" method and accordingly judgment is involved in the accounting, presentation and disclosure of such transactions. The Company has accounted for the merger transactions figures for the appointed date ie April 01, 2017. The previous year's figures have been restated as if the business combination had occurred at the beginning of the preceding period irrespective of the actual date of the combination and have duly been certified by the Statutory Auditors of the Company. In relation to this Key Audit Matter, our Audit response included the following: • We have inspected the minutes of the Board of Directors and extra ordinary general meeting for the approval of merger and the Scheme of Amalgamation. • We have also inspected the Order passed by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal ("NCLT"), Chandigarh Bench dated 25th January, 2019. • We read the Scheme of Amalgamation which has become effective from the Appointed Date i.e. April 1, 2017 and confirmed our understanding with the management. • We have checked the accounting of amalgamation performed by the Management using the 'pooling of interest' method for the financial year 2017-2018 that included identification of assets and liabilities in accordance with the Scheme of Amalgamation. • We checked the book values of the assets and liabilities of the four Subsidiaries as at April 01,2017 and subsequently at the date of acquisition as determined by the management. • Assessed the impact of merger adjustments in the financial statements of the Company. This amalgamation did not involve any cash outflow
    1. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
S.No. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
The Company's disclosure of transactions and the
accounting applied to the acquisition of four
Subsidiaries are set out in notes 1.3 and 38 in the
financial statements
(except for merger expenses). as BCL, BGBL, CCL
and SSPL were wholly owned subsidiaries.

The investment in equity shares of the four
subsidiaries held by the Company along with its
nominee shareholders has been cancelled without
any further application, act or deed.

No shares have been issued by the Company since
all the Transferor Companies were wholly owned
subsidiaries of the Company.

Assessed the adequacy of the disclosures of
Amalgamation made in the Financial Statements of
the Company.
ii) Trade receivables. Recoverability of trade receivables
from 'The Calcutta Stock Exchange Association Ltd'
considered good but not impaired.
We focused on this area because the balance of trade
receivables is significant in magnitude and requires use
of judgment due to related uncertainty. As such, this is
considered to be a key audit risk.
The disclosure is set out in the following notes: •Note
1.4 Use of Estimates and Judgement, • Note 9 Status
of Trade Receivable & • Note 33.1 Credit Risk.
The appropriateness of the allowance for doubtful debt
is subjective due to the high degree of judgement
applied by management in determining the impairment
provision. This area involves assessment of the subject
matter of litigation, management assessment of the
merits of the litigation and the likely exposure on the
company. Therefore, provision on subject matters under
litigations are likely to involve significant management
judgement.
Presently, the Company has lodged legal recovery
proceedings in Delhi High Court and the same has been
continuing to recover outstanding balances.

To consider whether management's estimation
methodology was appropriate, our key audit
procedures performed in report of this area included
the following:

In order to evaluate the reasonableness of the
Company's estimations for bad debts, our key audit
procedures included analysing the aging of accounts
receivable, examining the historical recovery
records, and the legal status of parties, as well as
inspecting the amount received in the subsequent
period.

We inspected the legal records with the Company
to ascertain the likelihood of claims being successful
and recoverable.

We enquired with management on their assessment
of the transactions with The Calcutta Stock
Exchange Association Ltd', including their
expectation of the probable outcomes on legal suit.

We discussed with the Management to ascertain
the present status of legal case who informed us
that there was every likelihood of the recovery of
entire amount from the said Stock Exchange as the
Court had put injunction on the said Stock Exchange
not to dispose off its building situated at Kolkata.

Based on our procedures, we found management's
assessment in respect of said Trade Receivable to
be reasonably recoverable. We also found that the
disclosures in the financial statements in respect of
this matter to be adequate.
iii) Disputes and potential litigationsThe Company is
subject to claims and demands which could have a
significant impact on the results if the potential
exposures were to materialise. For the financial year
2018-19, we believe the most significant risk relates to
a Suit for Recovery filed by the foreign party with
Hon'ble Delhi High Court, against the amalgamated
Subsidiary which has initially been objected by the said
subsidiary, and has been disclosed in note 38 –
contingent liabilities to the financial statements.Besides,
the Company and its amalgamated subsidiaries were
involved in a few legal proceedings, both for and against

We evaluated the processes and controls over
litigations operated by Management through regular
meetings with Management and review of Board
meeting minutes.

We have noted that the Company and its
amalgamated subsidiaries are involved in few legal
proceedings, both for and against the company. For
a smaller number of claims against the company,
management has assessed that the probability of
success of the claim is remote. Accordingly, the
company has not accounted for or disclosed the
claims.
S.No. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
the company. For a smaller number of claims against
the company, management has assessed that the
probability of success of the claim is remote.
Accordingly, the company has not accounted for or
disclosed the claims.
The amounts involved are significant, and the
application of accounting standards to determine the
amount, if any, to be provided as a liability or disclosed
as a contingent liability, is inherently subjective. This
includes assumptions relating to the likelihood and/
or timing of cash outflows from the business and the
interpretation of preliminary and pending Court rulings.
We have designated this as a focus area of the audit.
The risk related to the claims is mainly associated
with the completeness of the disclosure, and the
completeness of the provisions in the financial
statements

In other cases, where the amounts involved are
significant and the application of accounting
standards to determine the amount, if any, to be
provided as a liability or disclosed as a contingent
liability, is inherently subjective. This includes
assumptions relating to the likelihood and/or timing
of cash outflows from the business and the
interpretation of preliminary and pending Court
rulings.

From the evidences obtained, we found the
Company's treatment of the litigation and contingent
liabilities and related disclosures to be acceptable.
iv) Deferred tax assets on losses: While recognising
deferred tax assets, the Indian Accounting Standards
require companies to forecast future taxable profits
to determine whether they would be sufficient to
recover all or part of these deferred tax assets.
Considering the nature of the long-term capital loss
and the probability of its recovery are very remote.
Therefore, significant amount of judgement is likely
to be applied while analysing whether deferred tax
asset can be recognised on capital losses.
We identified income taxes as an area of focus in the
audit as there is a risk related to the appropriate
application of all relevant tax regulations and that the
income tax expense may be misstated.
Refer to notes 1.15 and 6 in the Financial Statements:

We assessed the compliance with applicable
Income Tax laws. We recalculated both the current
tax expense and the tax liability in the balance sheet.
We verified the applied tax rates and decisions made
by tax authorities.

We also involved a tax specialist to assess the
adequacy of the tax provision.

We evaluated the deferred tax assets, including the
forecasts used to estimate the expected future
taxable income.

We recalculated the deferred tax balances in the
balance sheet and the income statement impact of
the change in deferred taxes

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

  1. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the 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 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 during the course of our 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

  1. 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of

adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

    1. 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.
    1. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

    1. 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 Standards on Auditing 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.
    1. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, 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. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place 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 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.
    1. We communicated 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.
    1. 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.
    1. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

'ANNEXURE – B' TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

(Referred to in paragraph 17(f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report to the Members of BLB Limited 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 controls over financial reporting of BLB Limited ("the Company") as of 31 March 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

1. Management's Responsibility for 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. 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 Companies Act, 2013.

2. Auditors' 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") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 judgement, 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.

3. 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;
  • 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.
  • (a) 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.
  • (b) Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, 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, 2019, 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.

Notes Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2019

1 Company overview and Significant Accounting Policies

1.1 Corporate Information

"BLB Limited (the Company) is a Public Company domiciled in India and is incorporated under the provisions of Indian Companies Act. Its shares are publicly traded on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited ("NSE") and the BSE Limited ("BSE"). The Registered Office of the Company is situated at SCO (Shop–cum–Office) No.22, Spring Field Colony Extn No.1, Near Sector 31–32, Faridabad – 121003, India."

"The Company is a member of NSE & BSE and engaged in the business of trading and investment in shares & securities. The four subsidiaries which amalgamated with the company were engaged in the business of commodities, real estate, etc. The financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on May 30, 2019."

1.2 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (IndAS), under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair values, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') (to the extent notified) and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The IndAS are prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and relevant amendment rules issued thereafter.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

All assets and liabilities are classified as Current and Non–Current as per company's normal operating cycle of 12 months which is based on the nature of business of the Company. Current Assets do not include elements which are not expected to be realised within one year and Current Liabilities do not include items which are due after one year, the period of one year being reckoned from the reporting date.

Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or are vision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use.

Rounding off

All amounts in the financial statement and accompanying notes are presented in Lacs and have been rounded–off to two decimal place unless stated otherwise.

1.3 Business combinations

Business combinations of entities under common control are accounted using the "pooling of interests" method and assets and liabilities are reflected at the predecessor carrying values and the only adjustments that are made are to harmonise accounting policies. The figures for the previous periods are restated as if the business combination had occurred at the beginning of the preceding period irrespective of the actual date of the combination

1.4 Use of Estimates and Judgement

The preparation of financial statements requires management to exercise judgement and make estimates and assumptions that affects the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. These estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known/materialise.

The areas involving significant estimates and judgement include determination of useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment (Refer note 1.5), measurement of defined benefit obligations (Refer note 18), recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies (Refer note 38) and recognition of deferred tax assets/liabilities (Refer note 6).

1.5 Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. For this purpose, cost includes deemed cost which represents the carrying value of Property, Plant and Equipment recognised as at 1st April, 2016 measured as per the previous GAAP.

Cost is inclusive of inward freight, duties and taxes and incidental expenses related to acquisition. In respect of major projects involving construction, related pre–operational expenses form part of the value of assets capitalised. Expenses capitalised also include applicable borrowing costs for qualifying assets, if any. All Upgradation / enhancements are charged off as revenue expenditure unless they bring similar significant additional benefits.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

S. No. Particulars Estimated Useful Life
1 Leasehold land Over lease term
2 Building other than factory 60 years
3 Computers
– Computers and other peripherals 3 years
– Servers and networking 6 years
4 Furniture & Fixtures 10 years
5 Vehicles 8 years
6 Other equipment 5 – 15 years

The useful lives have been determined based on technical evaluation done by the expert's which are in line those specified by Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The depreciation methods, assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each Balance Sheet date is classified as capital advances under Other Non–Current Assets and the cost of assets not put to use before such date is disclosed under 'Capital work–in–progress'.

The cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the financial statements upon sale or retirement of the asset and the resultant gains or losses are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.6 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight–line basis, from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, and known technological advances), and the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset.

1.7 Investments :

Investments are classified as Current or Non–Current based upon management intent at the time of acquisition. Investments that are intended to be held for not more than one year from the date of acquisition are classified as Current Investments. All other investments are classified as Non–Current Investments.

1.8 Inventories

The shares and securities acquired with the intention of trading are considered as Stock in trade and disclosed as Current Assets. The stock in trade of securities is valued at lower of aggregate cost or aggregate market price / aggregate net asset value in case of unquoted, as per the provisions of ICDS. The cost is determined on First In First Out (FIFO) basis.

The Units of open–ended Mutual Fund Schemes are valued at lower of the cost or closing NAV, the cost is determined on First In First Out (FIFO) basis.

1.9 Financial Instruments, Financial Assets, Financial Liabilities and Equity Instruments

Recognition

Financial assets include Investments, Trade receivables, Advances, Security Deposits, Cash and Cash Equivalents. Such assets are initially recognised at transaction price when the Company becomes party to contractual obligations. The transaction price includes transaction costs unless the asset is being fair valued through the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Classification

Management determines the classification of an asset at initial recognition depending on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on such classification.

Financial assets are classified as those measured at:

Amortised cost

Where the financial assets are held solely for collection of cash flows arising from payments of principal and/ or interest.

Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)

Where the financial assets are held not only for collection of cash flows arising from payments of principal and interest but also from the sale of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value being recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.

Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)

Where the assets are managed in accordance with an approved investment strategy that triggers purchase and sale decisions based on the fair value of such assets. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value being recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

Measurement

Trade receivables, Advances, Security Deposits, Cash and cash equivalents etc. are classified for measurement at amortised cost while investments may fall under any of the aforesaid classes. However, in respect of particular investments in equity instruments that would otherwise be measured at fair value through profit or loss, an irrevocable election at initial recognition may be made to present subsequent changes in fair value through other comprehensive income.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried amortized cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

Derecognition of Financial Assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

  • The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or
  • 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 derecognised. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retained substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised 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 recognised to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

Income Recognition

Dividend income is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the right to receive dividend is established. 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 recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise 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

Financial Liabilities

i) Trade Payables and Other Financial Liabilities

Trade Payables and Other Financial Liabilities are initially recognised at the value of the respective contractual obligations. Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period

ii) Borrowings

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non–cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss as other gains/(losses).

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a long–term loan arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liability as current, if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.

Equity Instruments

Equity shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

1.10 Revenue Recognition

(a) Sale of Shares & Securities

Revenue from sales is recognized at the completion of each settlement of the capital market segment of the Stock Exchange.

In respect of non–delivery based transactions in capital market segment, the profit/loss is accounted for at the end of each settlement.

Revenue from derivative market segment:–

  • in respect of settled contracts the difference between the transaction price and settlement price is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss; and
  • in respect of open interests as on the balance sheet date, the derivatives are valued at fair value, and the difference between the fair value and the transaction price, is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Income from Dividend is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

(b) Sale of Goods by amalgamated subsidiaries

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, net of returns and discounts to customers. Revenue from the sale of goods includes excise and other duties which the Company pays as a principal but excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as GST, VAT, etc.

Revenue from services is recognised in the periods in which the services are rendered. Advances received for products are reported as deposits until all conditions for revenue recognition are met.

(c) Other Income

Gain on Sale of Investment is recorded on transfer of title from the Company and is determined as the difference between the sale price and carrying value of the investment.

The revenue from Interest & Other Income is recognized on accrual basis as part of Other Income in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

1.11 Employee Benefits

(a) Short–term Obligations

Liabilities for wages, salaries and bonus, including non–monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

(b) Post–Employment Obligations

The Company operates the following post–employment schemes:

  • defined benefit plans for gratuity, and
  • defined contribution plans for provident fund.

Defined Benefit Plans

The liability or asset recognised 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 recognised 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 recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

1.12 Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re– measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company enters into certain derivative contracts to hedge risks which are not designated as hedges. Such contracts are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and are included in other gains/ (losses).

1.13 Impairment of Non–Financial Assets

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value–in–use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

1.14 Borrowing Costs

Borrowings are measured at amortized cost. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

1.15 Income Tax

Income tax expense comprises current tax expense and the net change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year. Current and deferred tax are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or directly in equity, respectively.

(i) Current tax:

Current tax expenses are accounted in the same period to which the revenue and expenses relate. Provision for current income tax is made for the tax liability payable on taxable income after considering tax allowances, deductions and exemptions determined in accordance with the applicable tax rates and the prevailing tax laws.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.

(ii) Deferred tax :

Deferred income tax is recognised using the balance sheet approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for deductible and taxable temporary differences arising between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount in financial statements, except when the deferred tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profits or loss at the time of the transaction.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences except in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Minimum Alternative Tax ("MAT") credit forming part of deferred tax assets is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. Such asset is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and the carrying amount of the MAT credit asset is written down to the extent there is no longer a reasonable certainty to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.

Ind AS 12 Appendix C, Income Tax

On March 30, 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified Ind AS 12 Appendix C, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments which is to be applied while performing the determination of taxable profit (or loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under Ind AS 12. According to the appendix, companies need to determine the probability of the relevant tax authority accepting each tax treatment, or group of tax treatments, that the companies have used or plan to use in their income tax filing which has to be considered to compute the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment when determining taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates. The standard permits two possible methods of transition – i) Full retrospective approach – Under this approach, Appendix C will be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in accordance with Ind AS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, without using hindsight and ii) Retrospectively with cumulative effect of initially applying Appendix C recognized by adjusting equity on initial application, without adjusting comparatives. The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 12 Appendix C is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2019. The Company will adopt the standard on April 1, 2019 and has decided to adjust the cumulative effect in equity on the date of initial application i.e. April 1, 2019 without adjusting comparatives. The effect on adoption of Ind AS 12 Appendix C would be insignificant in the standalone financial statements.

1.16 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the management of the company. The Board of Directors assesses the financial performance and position of the Company and makes strategic decisions.

1.17 Earnings Per Share

(a) Basic Earnings Per Share

  • Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
  • the profit attributable to owners of the Company
  • by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the financial year

(b) Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after–income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential equity shares, and the weighted average number of additional equity shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

1.18 Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/loss for the period 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.

1.19 Events occuring after the Balance Sheet date

There have been no material events other than disclosed in the financial statements after reporting date which would require disclosure or adjustments to the financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 March 2019.

1.20 Recent accounting pronouncements

Ind AS 116 Leases:

On 30th March 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified Ind AS 116 Leases, under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2019 which is applicable with effect from 1st April, 2019.The Standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract i.e., the Lessee and the Lessor. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and require sales see to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Currently, operating lease expenses are charged to the statement of Profit & Loss. The Standard also contains enhanced disclosure requirements for lessees. Ind AS 116 substantially carries forward the Lessor accounting requirements in Ind AS 17. The effective date for adoption of Ind AS 116 is annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2019.

The standard permits two possible methods of transition.

  • Full retrospective Retrospectively to each prior period presented applying Ind AS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
  • Modified retrospective Retrospectively, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the Standard recognized at the date of initial application. Under modified retrospective approach, the lessee records the lease liability as the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate and the right of use asset either as:
  • Its carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted at lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application or
  • An amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments related to that lease recognized under Ind AS17 immediately before the date of initial application. Certain practical expedients are available under both the methods.

On completion of evaluation of the effect of adoption of Ind AS 116 on transition date it is concluded that the company as such does not have the operating lease which exceeds the period of 12 months or which has material value, Hence, the Company does not have any impact on account of this amendment.

Amendment to Ind AS 19 – Employee Benefits

On March 30, 2019, Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued amendments to Ind AS 19, 'Employee Benefits', in connection with accounting for plan amendments, curtailments and settlements. The amendments require an entity:

  • to use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement; and
  • to recognise in profit or loss as part of past service cost, or a gain or loss on settlement, any reduction in a surplus, even if that surplus was not previously recognised because of the impact of the asset ceiling. Effective date for application of this amendment is annual period beginning on or after April 1, 2019. The Company does not have any impact on account of this amendment.

The amalgamated subsidiary – BLB Commodities Ltd.(BCL) made a total advance of 1382 Lacs to M/s Avinash Bhosale Group (ABIL), Pune during the period 2013–2017 towards booking of a flat at Pune. The company at the time of adoption of Ind AS restated the said advance at its fair market value at 1213 Lacs during the financial year 2017–18. The said property was ready for possession and registration, however, BCL observed violation of certain provisions of Maharashtra Ownership Flats (Regulation of the Promotion of Construction, Sale, Management and Transfer) Act, 1963 (MOFA). Accordingly BCL filed a case with National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi against ABIL during the FY 2016–17 for refund of money and the management is confident of the recovery of the said entire advance.

This section explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are (a) recognised and measured at fair value and (b) measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes mutual funds that have quoted price and are valued using the closing NAV.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

32.2 Valuation Technique used to determine Fair Value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • the use of quoted market prices

32.3 Fair value of Financial Assets and Liabilities measured at Amortised Cost

The carrying amounts of financial assets comprising trade receivables cash and cash equivalents, fixed deposits with banks, security and other deposits and carrying value of financial liabilities comprising borrowings and trade and other payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature and covered under level 3 category.

33 Financial Risk Management

The Company's activities expose it to market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. This note explains the sources of risk which the Company is exposed to and how such risk were managed.

Feature Contracts

The Company's risk management is carried out under the policies approved by the board of directors. The board regularly reviews overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, Securities price risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

33.1 Credit Risk Management

The risk of financial loss due to counterparty's failure to honour its obligations arises principally in relation to transactions where the Company provides goods on deferred terms.

The Company's policies are aimed at minimising such losses, and require that deferred terms are granted only to customers who demonstrate an appropriate payment history and satisfy creditworthiness procedures. Individual exposures are monitored with customers subject to credit limits to ensure that the Company's exposure to bad debts is not significant. The maximum exposure to credit risk regarding financial assets is the carrying amount as disclosed in the balance sheet. With respect to credit risk arising from all other financial assets of the Company, the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the corresponding carrying amount of these instruments.

On account of the adoption of Ind AS 109, the Company uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Company uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors such as historical experience for customers. The Company's receivable are high quality with negligible credit risk and the counter-party has strong capacity to meet the obligations and where the risk of default is negligible or nil. Accordingly, no provision for expected credit loss is recognised.

The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk for trade receivables from individual customers.

Total 876.90 882.93

33.2 Liquidity Risk Management

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition, the Company's liquidity management policy involves monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

The Company had access to the following borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:

Particulars As at
31st March 2019
As at
31st March 2018

Maturities of Financial Liabilities

The table below analyse the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities for:

  • all non-derivative financial liabilities, and
  • net settled derivative financial instruments for which the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company's main risk i.e. interest rate risk arises from borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. During 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2018, the Company's borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in `.

The Company's fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

The long term variable interest rate borrowings are not significant and accordingly, no such sensitivity for interest rate cash flow has been disclosed.

34 Capital Management

37 Segment information

Description of segments and principal activities

Based on the guiding principles given in Ind AS 108 on 'Operating Segments', the Company's business activity falls within a single operating segment, namely Shares & Securities.

However, after the approval of Amalgamation Scheme on & with effect from the Appointed Date – 1st April 2017, the four subsidiaries which were engaged in the business of commodities, real estate, etc, merged with the Company. As a result, the business activities of commodities, real estate, etc. were added to the activities carried by the Company. The Company's board of directors has thus identified three reportable segments of its business –

  • 1) Shares & Securities 2) Agro products
  • 3) Others

The Board of Directors primarily uses a measure of adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (adjusted EBITDA) to assess the performance of the operating segments. However, the board of directors also receives information about the segments' revenue and assets on a periodical basis.

Segment revenue and results

The expenses and income which are not directly attributable to any business segment are shown as unallocable expenditure (net of unallocable income).

Segment assets and liabilities:

Assets used by the operating segments mainly consist of property, plant and equipment, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and inventories. Segment liabilities include trade payables and other liabilities. Common assets and liabilities which cannot be allocated to any of the segments are shown as a part of unallocable assets/liabilities.

The measurement principles of segments are consistent with those used in preparation of these financial statements. There are no inter-segment transfers.
