STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

==> picture [87 x 580] intentionally omitted <==

Incorporated in the year 1905, we began our operations as a textile manufacturing company at Lower Parel in Mumbai. Fifty-four years later in the year 1959, the company was listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

Today, we have a 116-year history of surviving — and even thriving — through adversity. The Company has weathered wars, economic recessions, natural disasters, and now our second major global pandemic. In every instance, our values have guided our response and, ultimately, these crises became defining moments and made us stronger.

STRONGER through adversity

In the face of extraordinary challenges in fiscal year 2021, our company kept its focus on our number one goal – getting “stronger through adversity” as a business, making a transformative contribution to our resilience.

==> picture [299 x 286] intentionally omitted <==

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

First, we took care of our people. From the start of the pandemic, our teams acted quickly to protect our people, our consumers, and our business, all while positioning ourselves to meet the accelerated changes that will shape this decade.

Secondly, we ensured that our ongoing projects and land acquisition plans continued uninterrupted. As a result, we kept our growth plans to reach ~13 million square feet of retail by FY26 intact. We believe that our commitment to our plans will make our existing and new spaces even more prized by our occupiers and visitors, and will help us in garnering greater market share in the future.

Thirdly, we took our capital budgeting to the next level and raised significant capital of close to ` 3,000 cr in the midst of the pandemic. We did this through a highly successful QIP at PML level, and through strategic investments from two marquee investors at the subsidiary levels. This liquidity gave us the comfort to sail through during these challenging times while also creating a war chest for further expansion and acquisition of greenfield, brownfield, operational or distressed mall opportunities. Besides this, we also improved our overall financial profile and balance sheet while maintaining a disciplined approach to maintaining conservative debt levels and making bold yet sensible capital allocation decisions.

Fourthly, our long history exceeding a century has shown us how resilient the indomitable spirit of humanity can be in bouncing back from adversity time and again. We believe in humanity’s desire to live life to its fullest. We are convinced that conventional entertainment and work habits of visiting malls and offices will continue to thrive side by side with an increasingly digital and virtual world. We took advantage of the market dynamics through FY2021 to keep expanding our asset base - added a mall to our operating portfolio, acquired a marquee land parcel in Kolkata, ensured that work is going on steadily at all under construction sites - thus making us even stronger than before.

The actions we took during FY2021 gives us the confidence that we will emerge from this crisis stronger than ever.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

In this exceptional year, I am immensely proud of the way our people have coalesced together to steer through the challenges put in front of them.

Mr. Atul Ruia Chairman

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

Dear Shareholders,

Ever since we were incorporated in 1905, we’ve witnessed and weathered several crises. In every instance, our values have guided our response and these crises became defining moments and made us stronger. The global Covid-19 pandemic, that we’re persevering through now, will be reminisced as one of the most challenging aftermaths of modern history. It will also be recognized for the incredible resilience humanity has displayed in recovering from it.

Your Company is an exemplary illustration of true grit put on display by its employees. I am immensely proud of the way our people have coalesced together in steering the Company through the last fiscal year. As a retail consumption-led real estate company, we are part of a sector that was particularly affected by the prolonged and repeated shutdowns. Nevertheless, I am pleased to inform you that, even now, we continue our 116-year-old habit of coming out stronger through adversity.

Our response to the pandemic

We were able to act quickly and effectively to deliver support where it was most needed, and this is a testament to the excellent work we have done over many years to develop strong relationships with local partners. Our fiscal year 2021 saw multiple national lockdowns when only essential stores could run and these restrictions placed enormous financial pressure on our retail tenants. To help our retail partners, we offered certain rental waivers for a period of time and engaged on a case-bycase basis to formulate agreed payment plans that would be a win-win for both. The entire negotiation with retail partners was based upon the concept of ‘reasonableness’.

We have also incorporated the highest quality SOPs to ensure the safety of our customers, retail partners, guests, residents and employees across all our properties. Further, we organised multiple vaccination drives covering more than 15,000+ employees, their family members, retail staff, contractual staff and third-party associates. These drives ran across our pan India businesses spanning nine malls in six cities, our two hospitality assets in Mumbai and Agra, residential projects in

Bangalore, and various commercial properties in Mumbai and Pune. This effort helped us in providing a safe experience to people visiting our properties.

Throughout, our priority has been the wellbeing of our people. We have worked hard to foster employee engagement through online resources to create a culture of support and understanding where everyone has access to the assistance they need. Our Pan-India teams came together to support any affected employee by procuring medical supplies, oxygen concentrators, etc. The Board recognises just how tough delivering on the day job has been this year and we are hugely grateful to everyone for their vigorous work and commitment throughout this time.

An increased focus on ESG

At PML, we have always been sensitive to running our business in a sustainable way. During FY2021, we expanded our focus on ESG aspects and sharpened our Sustainability Strategy. Climate Change is by far the most pressing problem facing humankind and life as we know it. At PML, we are approaching energy, water efficiency and waste management not only through systems and technology routes but also through advocacy and sensitization – thus influencing behavioural change.

Over last three years, our conservation efforts have achieved satisfactory results with a steady dip in consumption of natural resources. Energy and water consumption year on year have decreased consistently in this period and waste recycling has improved despite increasing scale of business. With sustainability now seen as a differentiator between the best space and the rest, our ability to deliver buildings which help occupiers reduce their own carbon footprint and improve employee wellbeing, will be a key differentiator. To achieve these, we will work in partnership with our customers, partners, and suppliers to deliver meaningful change.

At PML, we emphasise on zero tolerance on deviation on our Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Intent in conducting its

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

Chairman’s

Message (contd.)

During FY2021, we sharpened our ESG focus and Sustainability strategy. Climate Change is by far the most pressing problem for humankind. At PML, we are approaching energy, water efficiency and waste management not only through systems and technology routes but also through advocacy and sensitisation – thus influencing behavioural change.

businesses. Given the pandemic, we paid heightened attention to providing a safe and healthy environment for our employees, contractors, retailers, customers and visitors during the year. I am pleased to inform you that we did not experience any major workrelated injury incidences during FY2021 and conducted 36,881 person-hours of training and drills across all our assets. We also carried out several initiatives in the general learning and development of our employees, while keeping them thoroughly motivated through several employee engagement initiatives.

With our continuous efforts in Corporate Social Responsibility activities, your Company has contributed significantly to society with key focus on improvement of Health, Education, social infrastructure, and women empowerment specifically. The Company has partnered with NGOs with domain expertise and credibility to deliver sustainable impact. In particular, I would like to highlight the work done by PML with Aakar Charitable Trust (ACT) for building Check Dams in droughtaffected areas under the aegis of my mother, Mrs. Amla Ruia. ACT has built more than 490 check dams directly benefitting close to 2.1 million people and indirectly benefitting close to 5.7 million people. During the year, our contributions have helped build oxygen plant for a hospital, purchase of masks and PPE kits for corporations and provide food, clothing to those adversely affected by the pandemic.

I invite you to learn more about all these actions by reading the more detailed chapter on “Cherishing our Environment, People & Society”; and our Business Responsibility Report included within this Annual Report.

The year in numbers

I would like to share with you some key highlights of our consolidated financial performance. For starters, our income from operations for FY2021 stood at 10,733 million. This was at 55% of FY2020, marked by reduced operations due to multiple mandatory lockdowns. Our FY2021 EBITDA stood at 4,942 million, which was at 51% of FY2020, and we have reported a profit after tax of ` 526 million.

We raised ~ ` 30 billion in equity through a highly successful QIP; the expansion of our joint venture with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board; JV with CPPIB for Kolkata development and the addition of a new joint venture with GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund. I invite you to learn more about all these actions by reading the more detailed chapter on capital budgeting included within this Annual Report.

Doubling down on our mediumterm strategy

This year has proved the importance of our purpose like never before. The pandemic has acted as a catalyst for many trends such as online shopping and more flexible working. However, it also underscored the validity and relevance of experiential based places that cater to the indefatigable human urge for social shopping, work, and entertainment. While digitalization has added a new dimension of convenience to our lifestyles, the pandemic has reminded us how indispensable and purposeful physical spaces, social engagement and experiences are to our spirit.

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

Over the years, our malls and hotels have become the preferred leisure destinations for hundreds and thousands of Indians. At the heart of this approach is our purpose of creating vibrant and ever-evolving diversified spaces that welcomes all. Our malls are experiential social hubs that serve the social need of a safe, convenient environment in a post-pandemic world. We continue to believe the in long term consumption story of India and this is clearly evident from the consumption recovery (at ~ 93% of July 2019 levels, adjusted for non-operating categories) that we are witnessing at our operational malls in July 2021. As a leader in retail infrastructure within the world’s most dynamic and large emerging economy, we believe that we’ve just begun to scratch the surface. Our growth agenda through organic growth and new asset formation continues unabated.

We are on track to deliver on the underconstruction malls expand our retail portfolio to >13 msf by end of FY26. Beyond that, we endeavor to keep on adding at least 1 msf of retail every year .We adopted an even more active approach to value creation through the following themes:

z raising our operational excellence and focus on sustainability for all our operational assets
z the unhindered progress of our existing pipeline of assets under development
z strengthening our capital budgeting for realising our medium-term asset growth aspirations

Outlook

Our sustainable business model, combined with our proven record of accomplishment for scaling, offers us significant opportunities to continue to generate value for all our stakeholders. At PML, our focus is directed towards becoming a true proxy to the Indian wallet. We want to be at the forefront of driving the consumption story of India. We aim to do this by making our assets the undisputed leaders. in the cities and across different markets in India. While the next phase of growth will be determined by

extending presence across the country, we are also equally excited about our growth promise derived from our densification strategy of our existing assets, as many of them harbour substantial potential for further development.

We are on track to deliver on the under-construction malls to expand our retail portfolio to >13 msf by end of FY26.

Going forward, our goal is to continuously deliver outlier performance that can withstand challenging market conditions. We are confident that our prudent capital budgeting approach, to sustain our balance sheet strength and keep adequate liquidity positions, will give us the currency to extend our leadership position in the marketplace as the most desirable malls to spend time in.

We have, by design, built up our financial strength and flexibility over the last couple of years, so we are well placed to deliver on our strategy. With strong progress under our belt already, our management team is strong, enthusiastic, and committed to delivering for all our stakeholders. We have excellent people across our business, who have got us through this crisis and will stand us in good stead for the future. Again, I would like to thank the entire Phoenix Mills family for their support this year.

Mr. Atul Ruia

Chairman

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

This has been an extraordinary year, to say the least, and I am enormously proud of the enduring performance the team delivered. I am particularly gratified with the strong progress we have made across our set plans in activating our new mall in Lucknow; progressing with our asset expansion in line with our targets set to exceed 13 million square feet of retail by FY2026; and sharpening our capital budgeting and overall liquidity to support our growth agenda and resilience. Building on this, we are clearly set on achieving our goals by exploiting our strengths in project management and development; our active and agile management of our operational assets; and our strengthened balance sheet - both on the debt and equity sides. Even though our performance this year clearly reflects the impact of Covid-19, we have further strengthened our finances through strategic equity raising and selective debt pairing, and are well positioned for the opportunities that lie ahead.

Taking Capital Excellence to the next level

At PML, we aim to achieve higher and faster returns by deploying best-in-class thinking across our projects portfolio and project delivery value chain. Our ‘Capital Excellence’ approach is designed to improve returns and programme performance across the entire portfolio with a rigorous, holistic approach to capital budgeting and allocation. This requires us to form risk mitigated capital strategies, optimise our asset portfolios, and transform project development and delivery across asset classes. At each stage we discover, create, and ultimately grow value—for all

stakeholders in the value chain—and build teams with the right skills to manage complex workstreams. By combining advanced analytics, and capability building, we have proven our talents in delivering on an endto-end journey of capital transformation, resulting in reduced risks, optimised costs, accelerated progress, increased returns, and improved performance.

A key aspect of taking Capital Excellence to the next level, is to ensure that we are resourced to execute on our playbook with confidence – especially when we have seen how global disruptions can surprise one at any moment. Through FY2021, we took several steps to further strengthen our balance sheet even further and give us the capital autonomy to go ahead unimpeded with our long-term plans. In this respect, it was indeed a prolific year: we raised ~ ` 30 billion in equity within a span of 10 months. In doing so, we now benefit from a sound financial position and a strong leadership team with an unobstructed vision for the future. The key corporate actions with respect to capital management included:

z Our QIP in August 2020
z The expansion of our JV with CPPIB - a new partnership in Kolkata and commitment to bring in additional funds in the first JV
z Our new JV with GIC
z Our prudent debt management

Our QIP in Aug 2020

In August of 2020, we successfully raised around ` 11 billion through a QIP issue. Despite the adversities surrounding the retail and hospitality sectors, the investor confidence

We expect our organic annuity generation of free cash flows to keep increasing as we execute our growth strategy over the next 3 years.

Managing Director’s Statement (contd.)

~ ` 30 billion in FY2021 was indeed a prolific year: we raised equity within a span of 10 months. In doing so, we now benefit from a sound financial position and a strong leadership team with an unobstructed vision for the future.

in our Company’s prospects was reaffirmed by the success of this QIP issue, which saw strong interest from marquee domestic and foreign investors. The subscription was widely applied and allotted to multiple institutions, including Sovereign Wealth Funds, Long term FIIs, Indian MF & Insurance Companies, and hedge funds. This transaction attracted both existing shareholders and high-quality new investors. The proceeds from this QIP issue, in conjunction with our other fund raise acted as a safety-net in the short-term. However, once our business operations normalised and we saw the resumption of our normal cash-flows, this safety-net transformed to growth capital for potential acquisitions.

Expanding our Platform with CPPIB

I am extremely pleased to inform you that under the expansion of our relationship with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPP Investments”), we are partnering with them for development of a retail-led mixed-use project on the recently acquired 7.48-acre land parcel in Alipore, Kolkata, acquired earlier by our 100% subsidiary Mindstone Mall Developers in February 2021. Here, we intend to develop in the first phase a retail development of ~1 million square leasable area. CPP Investments brought in 1,800 million for an initial stake of 31.03% on a fully diluted basis. Upon receipt of construction approvals, CPP Investments will further bring in 2,040 million taking its aggregate stake in Mindstone Mall Developers to 49% on a fully diluted basis. Taking a conservative approach on using leverage in this development project, both CPP Investments and PML are committed to

making additional equity infusions to fund the construction phase, as required.

PML and CPP Investments are also expanding their commitment to the existing joint venture at Bangalore. We have agreed to invest collectively up to ` 8 billion in our joint venture entity Island Star Mall Developers, in tranches as required in the ratio of our respective shareholding. The joint venture at Bangalore was formed in 2017 to develop, own and operate retail led mixed use developments across India, where Phoenix MarketCity Bangalore served as the seed asset for the alliance. In addition to owning and operating Phoenix MarketCity Bangalore, Island Star Mall Developers owns and is currently developing under subsidiaries, three retail led mixed use projects – Phoenix Millennium, Wakad Pune, Phoenix Mall of Asia, Hebbal –Bangalore, and Phoenix Citadel, Indore.

Forming a new Platform with GIC

In June 2021, GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, and PML entered into a strategic partnership to establish an investment platform to develop, own, and operate retail-led, mixed-use developments in India. In this arrangement, GIC agreed to acquire a significant minority stake in a portfolio of retail-led mixed-use developments, located in the prime consumption centres of Mumbai and Pune. These assets, totalling ~3.4 million square feet of leasable retail and office space, are currently amongst PML’s most prime and well-performing operational assets. GIC initially acquired an equity stake of ~26.4% in a set of PML Subsidiaries by investing an aggregate amount of approximately ` 11.11

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

==> picture [446 x 288] intentionally omitted <==

billion in of a combination of primary infusion and secondary purchase of equity shares in the said PML Subsidiaries. The platform is valued at a pre-money enterprise value of 55 billion. GIC’s stake may further increase to ~33%-36% in the subsidiaries through an additional infusion of up to 4 billion within 12-month period from closing. The primary proceeds from the transaction are intended to be utilized by the JV Subsidiaries as growth capital for further expansion and acquisition of greenfield, brownfield & operational mall opportunities. The secondary proceeds will bolster PML’s safety net in the near term, fund various under-construction projects and act as war chest for further acquisitions in the medium term.

Operational Highlights

Looking at our retail business first, consumption swiftly recovered from Q3 FY2021 onwards, on account of the increase in mall operational hours across cities; the resumption of F&B; and the demand for the festive season. Consumption recovery

in Q4 was ~90% on a like-to-like basis when comparing Q4 FY2021 versus Q4 FY2020. Consumption across all malls stood at 33.3 billion in FY2021 and was at ~69% of FY2020 on a like-to-like basis. In-line with consumption, retail collections also continued to see sharp improvements, taking the total collection to 7.6 billion in FY2021. Similar recovery trends were also seen in footfalls and four-wheeler traffic at all our malls, which reached to 83% and 93% respectively, of last year’s level in Q4 FY2021.

In terms of our commercial office business, the revenues from this segment were at 98% of last year’s at ` 1,115 million in FY2021. Our commercial office portfolio continues to remain resilient, and our collection efficiency for the commercial portfolio was more than 90%. We saw excellent overall traction in the gross rental collections during the fiscal, and despite the current environment we continue to see steady leasing interest for our new spaces. I am pleased to inform you that Fountainhead Tower 2, with leasable area of ~250,000 square feet, has started contributing

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

Managing Director’s Statement (contd.)

==> picture [446 x 307] intentionally omitted <==

to the revenue from Q1 FY22 with some tenants moving in. Fountainhead Tower 1 in Pune has a leased occupancy of ~95% and is fully operational. Work at Fountainhead Tower 3 in Pune is on course and nearing completion. Our Art Guild House in Mumbai has a leased occupancy of 76% as of March 2021. Since our commercial portfolio was least impacted due to the pandemic, it continues to remain an important pillar for our growth aspirations. Beyond this, we have the potential of developing around 4.6 msft of additional area through the ‘densification’ strategy of our existing assets, giving us substantial headroom for growing our commercial space GLA over the foreseeable future. With land costs already paid for and absorbed, we expect to be well placed in terms of incremental returns and competitive positioning.

Moving on to our residential business. We have seen strong traction in residential sales led by the reconfiguration of our Kessaku property into smaller units and the robust demand for ready to move in inventory. We sold and

registered agreements for inventory worth 1,725 million during FY2021. We also recorded added sales of 325 million during FY2021 for which registration was pending end of FY21, which will take our cumulative sales figure to ` 2,050 million during FY2021.

In terms of our hospitality business, our hotels had started seeing early signs of recovery led by social events and staycations. We have also taken up certain projects to overhaul food and beverage offering and the banquet services at The St. Regis in Mumbai, by which we should be able to capitalize on post COVID recovery. Our confidence is high that social events in the later part of this year will contribute significantly to the recovery.

Our debt management

During FY2021, we completed principal repayments of 3.53 billion during taking our consolidated debt to ~ 45.10 billion. We have also been working diligently to reduce our cost of borrowing. For the full year FY2021,

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

our average cost of borrowing came down by 102 basis points. We ended Q4 of FY2021 at a rate of 8.17% and ended Q1 FY22 further lower at 7.90%. We intend to remain healthily leveraged, with ample headroom to raise fresh debt should we need it at any time.

A glimpse into the future

Although it is early days, economic indicators are positive, and we are hopeful that we are starting to gradually emerge from the pandemic as the vaccination drive permeates deeper into the population. As we do so, The Phoenix Mills is well placed to benefit given our clear strategy, the diversity and expertise of our people across the business and our opportunities to drive growth and value. However, we are very mindful that the trajectory for this pandemic is highly uncertain with risk from future variants. We have been extremely diligent on our expense management, re-priced our borrowings to reduce finance cost and created cash buffers to take us through tough times.

We believe that our business model will continue to be relevant in the times to come. As cities expand and urbanise, they provide opportunities for retail destinations to rise and become the ‘go-to-places’ in the town. We believe that our business model will become more relevant as people will increasingly prefer to visit only those places that are safe havens. As we implement our growth strategy over the next 3 years, we expect our organic annuity generation of free cash flows to keep increasing exponentially. Today, PML stands in the middle of strong annuity position. Managing our cash position and deploying this cash into most value accretive opportunities is an ongoing and exciting challenge that we face. Our plan for our strengthened cash position is simple: re-invest into our business to propel us even further on our growth journey to create India’s most eminent realty firm. In doing so, we aim to be an outlier in value creation for all our stakeholders.

We are clearly set on achieving our goals by exploiting our strengths in project management and development; our active and agile management of our operational assets; and our strengthened balance sheet - both on the debt and equity sides.

making fresh investments into our existing business, as well as scouting for new inorganic opportunities. We plan to use our liquidity to buy brownfield assets as well as prime land parcels, and thereby keep expanding our retail and commercial portfolio. As the new set of malls become operational, they will further contribute towards the generation of revenue. As our newly added retail-led mixed-use assets generate further income, we expect to produce an upward virtual cycle that continues to generate positive cash flows for our Company. In doing so, we aim to be an outlier in value creation for all our stakeholders.

Mr. Shishir Shrivastava

Managing Director

As all our assets can comfortably service their respective liabilities on their own, we plan to make the best use of our cash war-chest for

COMING SOON IN THE HUB OF EASTERN INDIA

The Phoenix Mills Limited (“PML”) and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPP Investments”) entered into a new joint venture to develop a regional retail centre in Alipore, Kolkata. CPP Investments has committed to invest approximately INR 5.6 billion (C$93 million ) in Mindstone Mall Developers Private Ltd. (“Mindstone”) in tranches, for an ultimate equity stake of 49%. With the funds invested by CPP Investments and PML, Mindstone will develop a retail centre with a potential leasable area of approximately 1 million sq. ft.

Kolkata is a prominent business hub in Eastern India owing to its strategic location and excellent connectivity. It is home to several large manufacturing and information technology companies along with a welldeveloped banking sector. The city has witnessed a rapid expansion of residential and commercial development in the last decade. Alipore is an established location with various luxurious high-end residential projects and superior infrastructure.

==> picture [62 x 59] intentionally omitted <==

We are pleased to grow our strategic relationship with CPP Investments to establish our footprint in Eastern India. This investment bears testament to the attractive long-term prospects of our robust business model of creating destination consumption hubs in key cities of India. With this asset, we are well on track to more than double our operational retail portfolio by 2024. We remain focused on expanding our portfolio by investing in attractive markets and ensuring timely execution of the projects.

Alipore, Kolkata is a premium neighbourhood and the site is strategically located, surrounded by a dense catchment of residential and office space. We believe that the site’s proximity to established and developing micro-markets, through extensive and well-developed civic infrastructure, provides us with ample opportunity to cater to the region’s significant untapped consumption potential. We see this will be a mall for the city of Kolkata and a dominant consumption hub for the state of West Bengal. Our mall will be designed by international architects with large and modern open public spaces that will be integral to the customer experience in Kolkata’s largest retail centre. We intend to host the best of domestic and international brands, representing all categories of consumer wallet spend.

PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE, OCCUPIERS & CONSUMERS

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

A great many companies talk about having a social purpose and set of values, or about how much they care for their employees and other stakeholders. At The Phoenix Mills, we believe that there was not a better time than FY2021 for us to make good on that commitment. During this period, we did not hesitate for one moment in making decisions that sacrificed our short-term profitability for the sake of adhering to those values.

The world has been mightily struggling since the onset of COVID-19. The pandemic has clearly brought a historic public health crisis to the world, and its negative impacts directly extend to the global economy. No particular industry is immune to this pandemic, but the shopping, F&B, entertainment and hospitality industries are among the hardest hit. For millions of Indians, this is a crisis that requires immediate action that only companies can take. And the way companies respond to

this crisis is a defining moment that will be remembered for decades.

Engaging with our Stakeholders

At The Phoenix Mills, we believe that as a responsible corporate, we must create shared economic and social value for our stakeholders. As we prepare to step up our business for next-level growth, value creation for key stakeholders remains our priority.

Protecting our people, occupiers & consumers (contd.)

Our relationships with our stakeholders are imperative to our business success. We work hard throughout the year to understand the needs and requirements of our customers, occupiers, suppliers, contractors, and partners to ensure that the decisions we take are in both their interests and the interests of The Phoenix Mills’ future success. Only through regular communication and the pursuit of continuous improvement in our engagement and service can we ensure that we have supportive stakeholders and partners for the long term.

Our response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

The COVID-19 pandemic has helped all of us to appreciate the benefits of the natural environment for our own health and mental wellbeing and to see how diverse ways of working and lifestyle can transform some of the negative impacts we have had on the environment. The pandemic presents both challenges and opportunities and has reinforced understanding of the interdependencies between the capitals.

The moment Covid-19 shed its shadow upon us, we were able to act quickly and effectively to deliver support where it was most needed. Throughout, our priority has been the wellbeing of our people. We have worked hard to foster employee engagement through online resources to create a culture of support and understanding where everyone has access to the assistance they need. Our employee-led staff networks were a valuable source of advice, practical support and entertainment and played a key role in preserving the culture of our business while we worked from home.

The lockdown restrictions placed enormous pressure on many of our retail and leisure occupiers who found it difficult to manage their rental obligations. To help our retail partners, we offered certain rental waivers for a fixed amount of time and engaged on a case by case basis to formulate agreed payment plans that would be of win-win for both. We have also supported our customers with re-opening responsibly by making our places Covid-safe and helping them to manage social distancing.

Case Study of Safety Precautions taken at Phoenix Palassio, Lucknow:

z Thermal camera screening at all entries z UV scanners at entrances to disinfect handbags
z Wearing of masks is mandatory z Safe central air-conditioning as per CPWD and ISHRAE guidelines
z Sanitisation mat for disinfection of footwear
z Real-time customer density check to ensure crowd control z Strong rules on social distancing in stores queues escalators and elevators

Apart from establishing stringent SOPs at our properties for protecting the health and safety of our staff and visitors, we organised multiple vaccination drives covering more than 15,000+ employees, their family members, retail staff, contractual staff and third-party associates.

These drives ran across our pan India businesses spanning nine malls in six cities, our two hospitality assets in Mumbai and Agra, residential projects in Bangalore, and various commercial properties in Mumbai and Pune.

TAKING CAPITAL BUDGETING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Through FY2021, we took several steps to strengthen our balance sheet even further and give us the capital autonomy to go ahead unimpeded with our long-term plans. The Company raised ~ ` 30 billion in equity within a span of 10 months. We are clearly set on achieving our goals on the strength of our balance sheet - both on the debt and equity sides. In doing so, we now benefit from a sound financial position and a strong leadership team with an unobstructed vision for the future.

Our ‘Capital Excellence’ approach is designed to improve returns and programme performance across the entire portfolio with a rigorous, holistic approach to capital budgeting and allocation. Today, our credit ratings and ability to raise capital has never been more formidable. Taking Capital Excellence to the next level, we are appropriately resourced to confidently execute on our goal to become a company with ~ 13 msf retail portfolio by FY2026. The considerable liquidity on our balance sheet, which is acting as a cushion for short-term exigencies, gives us the power to move swiftly if we sight an interesting opportunity.

As we implement our growth strategy over the coming decade, we expect our annuity

generation of free cash flows to increase exponentially. Our plan for our strengthened cash position is simple: re-invest into our business to propel us even further on our growth journey to create India’s most eminent realty firm. In doing so, we aim to an outlier in value creation for all our stakeholders.

Through FY2021, we took several steps to strengthen our balance sheet even further. The key corporate actions with respect to capital management included:

z Our QIP in August 2020
z Our expansion of our Platform with CPPIB - a new partnership in Kolkata and commitment to bring in additional funds in the first JV

z Our new retail focussed Platform with GIC

z Our prudent debt management

Our QIP

In August of 2020, we successfully raised around ` 11 billion through a QIP issue. Despite the adversities surrounding the retail and hospitality sectors, the investor confidence in our Company’s prospects was reaffirmed by the success of this QIP issue, which saw strong interest from marquee domestic and foreign investors. The QIP issue was heavily oversubscribed and allotted to multiple institutions, including Sovereign Wealth Funds, Long term FIIs, Indian MF & Insurance Companies, and hedge funds. This transaction attracted both existing shareholders and high-quality new investors. The proceeds from this QIP issue, in conjunction with our other fund raise, will act as a safety-net in the short-term. However, once our business operations normalise and see the resumption of our normal cash-flows, and the post-COVID macroeconomic scenario improves — we expect this safety-net to transform into a war-chest for potential acquisitions.

Expanding our Platform with CPPIB

During FY2021, we expanded our relationship with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPP Investments”), by partnering with them for the development of a retail-led mixeduse project on the recently acquired 7.48acre land parcel in Alipore, Kolkata, acquired earlier by our 100% subsidiary Mindstone Mall Developers in February 2021.

PML and CPP Investments are also extending their commitment to the existing joint venture at Bangalore. We have agreed to invest collectively up to ` 8 billion in our joint venture entity Island Star Mall Developers, in tranches as required in the ratio of our respective shareholding to reduce our dependency on the availability of construction finance. The alliance was formed in 2017 to develop, own and operate retail led mixed use developments across India, where Phoenix MarketCity Bangalore served as the seed asset for the alliance. In addition to owning and operating Phoenix MarketCity Bangalore,

Taking capital budgeting to the next level (contd.)

For the full year FY2021, our average cost of borrowing came down by 102 basis points. With loan resets and refinancing due in the coming months, we expect this number to continue trending down during FY2022.

Island Star Mall Developers owns and is currently developing under subsidiaries, three retail led mixed use projects at Wakad in Pune, Hebbal in Bangalore and in Indore.

Forming a new Platform with GIC

US$733 million portfolio of retail-led mixeduse developments, located in the prime consumption centres of Mumbai and Pune. These assets, totalling ~3.4 million square feet of leasable retail and office space, are currently amongst PML’s most prime and well-performing operational assets. GIC has initially acquired an equity stake of ~26.4% in a set of PML Subsidiaries by investing an aggregate amount of approximately ` 11.11 billion by way of a combination of primary infusion and secondary purchase of equity shares in the said PML Subsidiaries.

Assets	City	Approximate Leasable Area (msf)*	FY20 NOI (`Mn)	Entity

The platform is valued at a pre-money enterprise value of 55 billion. GIC’s stake may further increase to ~33%-36% in the subsidiaries through an additional infusion of up to 4 billion within 12-month period from closing. The primary proceeds from the transaction are intended to be utilized by the PML Subsidiaries as growth capital for further expansion and acquisition of greenfield, brownfield, operational and distressed mall opportunities. The secondary proceeds will bolster PML’s safety net in the near term, fund various under-construction projects and act as war chest for further acquisitions in the medium term.

Our debt management

The Cost of Debt for PML has steadily reduced due to a combination of ongoing reductions in benchmark rates and PML’s ability to refinance and negotiate better terms with financial institutions. For FY2021, we completed principal repayments of 3.53 billion during FY2021, taking our consolidated debt by FY2021 to ~ 45.10 billion. Adjusted for Phoenix’s share of debt and the cash that we have on book at a standalone entity level, we are net debt positive and at a consolidated level, our net debt stands at about ` 27 billion. We have also been working diligently to reduce our cost of borrowing.

With loan resets and refinancing due in the coming months, we expect this number to continue trending down during FY2022. We intend to remain healthily leveraged, with ample headroom to raise fresh debt should we need it at any time. During FY21, we funded capex of ` 3,460 mn largely through equity. Now with substantial equity on our balance sheet and construction risk largely mitigated, we are engaging with banks and financial institutions to raise short term construction finance loans to complete the construction and operationalize the assets. Once the assets are operational, the construction finance loans will be converted into or replaced by LRD.

UNINTERRUPTED DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE PIPELINE

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

While many realty firms took a pause to recalibrate their business plans; repurpose their under-construction developments; or even stall their planned investments, we took the contrarian approach. At Phoenix Mills, we are ardent believers in the India’s experiential consumption story. For us, moving forward while others stood still meant that we could further the gap between our pole position, and those trying to play catchup. Naturally, we looked at the Covid-19 disruption as an opportunity to press on with our scheduled investments, capex, acquisitions, development projects and launches.

Blue Ocean Strategy

With competition giving up plans on their retail expansion, PML continues to invest as planned. Once the environment improves, the Company will be the only one ready with leasable capacity available. Through this ‘Blue Ocean’ strategy, competition becomes less relevant, as the rules of the game can be set by those that have supply. Just as the blue ocean is vast and deep, so will PML have the freedom to create its markets and be powerful in terms of profitable growth.

Portfolio in FY21: Retail – 6.9 msf Office – 1.6 msf Total – 8.5 msf

A key factor behind the uninterrupted progress PML is making on its planned new projects has been the Company’s uncanny ability to raise equity capital. Today, PML is adequately resourced to confidently execute on its goal to become aa company with retail portfolio of ~ 13 msf by FY2026. With the deployment of these funds mostly allocated into new land banks and construction within top under-served catchment sections of Tier 1 cities, the path to future asset creation and enduring yields is already demarcated.

Portfolio in FY26: Retail – 13.0 msf Office – 6.2 msf Total – 19.2 msf

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

Uninterupted development of future pipeline (contd.)

The considerable liquidity on PML’s balance sheet, which is acting as a cushion for shortterm exigencies, gives the Company the currency to proceed with confidence on our planned new developments. So far, the Company’s ongoing constructions are largely funded by equity, while taking debt as lastmile funding only if necessary. Our Balance Sheet strength and overall liquidity gives us ample headroom to raise debt any time its needed.

Retail Developments

Despite being in the thick of the first Covid-19 shutdown during FY2021, we still went ahead and launched our most awaited mall, Phoenix Palassio in the Gomti Nagar area of Lucknow. Spread over ~0.9 million square feet, Phoenix Palassio houses over 300+ brands including a variety of retail, F&B, and entertainment. The mall offers many firsts under one roof and over 60 brands coming to Uttar Pradesh for the first time. During FY2021, despite the ensuing Covid-19 second wave and related shutdowns, Phoenix Palassio performed

remarkably well, given the circumstances. This new mall saw a total consumption of 2,896 Million, and the asset garnered more than 321 Million in Rental Income.

Kolkata Land acquisition

In February 2021, PML announced the acquisition of approximately 7.48 acres of prime land in Alipore, Kolkata for a total consideration of ` 3,000 million. The land parcel is strategically located on Diamond Harbour Road, Alipore, Kolkata. The land parcel has development potential of approximately 1.00 msf with the first phase of the development expected to be operational during FY2025 subject to local and municipal approvals. The site is strategically located to provide excellent frontage coupled with superior visibility and connectivity. The site will provide us with a chance to cater to the untapped consumption potential in the region. This acquisition showed the Company’s steadfastness in executing its stated plans for expanding its portfolio in new Tier-1 cities of India.

Our commercial office portfolio continues to remain resilient, and our collection efficiency for the commercial portfolio was more than 90%.

Commercial Developments

Our commercial asset portfolio, which was least impacted due to the pandemic, continues to remain an important pillar for our growth aspirations. We observed excellent traction in the gross rental collections during the fiscal, and despite the current inertia we continue to witness steady leasing interest for our new spaces. Our commercial office portfolio continues to remain resilient, and our collection efficiency for the commercial portfolio was more than 90%.

Fountainhead Tower 2, with leasable area of ~250,000 square feet, has started contributing to the revenue from Q1 FY22. Fountainhead Tower 1 in Pune has a leased

occupancy of ~95% and is fully operational. Work at Fountainhead Tower 3 in Pune is on course and nearing completion.

Beyond this, we have the potential of developing around 4.6 msft of additional area through the ‘densification’ strategy of our existing assets, giving us substantial headroom for growing our commercial space GLA over the foreseeable future. With land costs already paid for and absorbed, we expect to be well placed in terms of incremental returns and competitive positioning.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

Global Economy

The last fiscal year has been an unprecedented one. It was dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic which began to impact the global economy towards the last quarter of FY 2020, and continued to impact the full year of FY2021. According to IMF’s World Economic Outlook April 2021, after witnessing a contraction of 3.3% in CY2020, the global economy is estimated to grow at 6% in CY2021 and moderate to 4.4% in CY2022. In some economies, occasional regional restrictions will likely be necessary at times to stem the progression of new waves and strains of the virus. As the more vulnerable segments of the population get vaccinated, contactintensive activities are expected to steadily resume.

According to IMF’s World Economic Outlook April 2021, after witnessing a contraction of 3.3% in CY2020, the global economy is estimated to grow at 6% in CY2021 and moderate to 4.4% in CY2022.

More than a year into the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s population is gradually being vaccinated, thanks to the discovery and production ingenuity of the global scientific community. Notwithstanding the resurgence of second and third waves, coupled with more infectious variants of the COVID-19 virus, the steady progress in gradual immunisation is expected to eventually lessen the need for social restrictions and power recoveries in many countries during the latter half of CY2021. Despite reduced mobility, economies continue to adapt to new ways of working, leading to a stronger-thananticipated rebound across regions. Even while growing vaccine coverage lifts sentiment, the global economic outlook is still regionally unequal and overall uncertain. Nevertheless, a way out of this health and economic crisis is becoming increasingly visible.

The global growth forecast remains uncertain due to factors that are difficult to predict, including the pathway of the pandemic, the intensity and efficacy of containment efforts, supply disruptions, the repercussions of the dramatic tightening in global financial market conditions and shift in spending patterns. Moreover, although recent vaccination drives have raised hopes of a turnaround in the pandemic later this year, renewed waves and new variants of the virus could cause a reassessment of this outlook. The IMF also highlights that the strength of the recovery projected may vary significantly across countries, depending on access to medical interventions, effectiveness of policy support, exposure to crosscountry spill overs, and structural characteristics entering the crisis.

Indian Economy

Prior to the pandemic of 2020, India had become the world’s fifth largest economy as per the IMF. When ranked by nominal GDP, the country had leapfrogged both France and the UK. However, CY2020 saw unprecedented disruptions to lives and livelihood across the country due to the pandemic and caused a detrimental impact on the economy as well. The pandemic induced challenges into industries and businesses and the country had to shift into low gear, if not standstill.

IMF’s World Economic Outlook report published in April 2021 has projected sharp rebound in growth for India. Indian economy which has been estimated to have degrown by 8% in FY21 is expected to rebound sharply in FY22. Among the major economies India is projected to grow at the fastest pace of 12.5% in FY22. However, India has been witnessing an eruption of a second wave of infections due to which most states have imposed restrictions and micro-lockdowns which is disrupting demand and supply. According to S&P Rating report published on May 2021 India’s second COVID wave could knock off as much as 2.8 percentage points from GDP growth in fiscal 2022. The Government is responding to the latest outbreak with a series of localized lockdowns, while avoiding a nationwide lockdown, which would have more adverse economic implications. At this juncture, we have seen that the case load in second wave has come down significantly and economy is slowly getting back on it’s feet.

The upsurge in new infections, as seen starting mid of February 2021, is bending up the pandemic curve, inducing further restrictions on mobility and a greater sense of urgency in expanding vaccine availability and faster immunisation rollout. While the availability of vaccines, gradually reducing infections, and increased mobility will be key to economic and industrial revival, different industries will likely see different rebound paths until the pandemic is truly over.

In the meantime, the impact of the pandemic may lower potential growth in the short term, due to eroded human capital and investment growth. Furthermore, output may also remain below pre-pandemic trend through the medium term, while returning to full capacity might take longer than anticipated. Given

these recent development, one can likely expect IMF’s growth projection for India to get revised once again to be more conservative. Similar to the stimulus plans introduced by the major economies, the Indian government too has decided that an expenditure-led budget can help trigger strong recovery for the Indian economy. To fight Covid-19 pandemic in India, the Government introduced an aggressive calling for kickstarting its Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan (Self-reliant India campaign). The government is also planning to take several bold makeovers through measures such as supply chain reforms for agriculture, rational tax systems, simpler & clearer Laws, capable Human Resource and a Stronger Financial System.

The Union Budget FY2022 was also designed to focus on being socially inclusive and growth-augmenting. Higher Government spending and supportive policies announced in this budget are expected to help sustain corporate recovery and improve longer-term prospects.

Response to the Pandemic

One year into the COVID-19 pandemic, the accumulating human toll continues to raise concerns,

The availability of vaccines, gradually reducing infections, and increased mobility will be key to economic and industrial revival.

even as growing vaccine coverage lifts sentiments. India began administration of COVID-19 vaccines on 16 January 2021. The first phase rollout involved health and frontline workers followed by residents over 60 years of age and further followed by age category of above 45 years. Beginning May 1, 2021, the vaccine drive for those aged between 18 and 44 has begun. As of 10[th] August 2021, India has administered more than 500 million doses overall, including first and second dose of the currently-approved vaccines.

The Indian Retail Industry is one of the fastest growing markets in the world due to India’s economic growth.

INDIAN RETAIL INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

India occupies a remarkable position in global retail rankings due to its high market potential, low economic risk and its reputation for being a stable democracy based on the rule of law. India’s high growth potential as compared to its global peers has made it a highly favourable destination. The Indian Retail Industry is one of the fastest growing markets in the world, due to India’s economic growth. It is ranked as world’s fifth largest global destination in the retail space. Over the last decade, the Indian retail market size has witnessed a remarkable growth of 3X, accounting for ~$800 Bn, contributing 10% to India’s GDP, and 40%[1] of India’s consumption in FY2020. The retail market gives employment to around 46 million people, which constitutes 8% of the total workforce of India.

1 (Anarock Sept 2020 report)

Currently, as per IBEF, the share of E-Commerce is significantly low in India, with approximately 95% of India’s retail sales coming from offline channel contributing ~$34 bn in FY2020. Moreover, the organised retail in India is still in its nascent stage and is growing at a CAGR of 20-25% per year, comprising 18% of the total Indian retail market.

Impact of the Pandemic & Near-Term Outlook

The retail industry was impacted severely by the outbreak of Covid-19, followed by the nation-wide lockdown from the last week of March 2020. The closure of retail stores and shopping malls across the country led to a sharp decline in consumer demand. While stores selling essential items such as food and groceries, medicines were allowed to function, stores selling non-essential items such as apparels, consumer durables etc were completely shut. As the lockdown was eased in a phased manner, the industry initially grappled with both supply and demand side issues. When the shopping complexes and malls were allowed to open from June 2020, footfalls were low as people were cautious of stepping out due to the virus. On the supply side, retail players faced logistic challenges and some FMCG players partnered with online delivery players to supply products to end consumers.

With covid-19 hitting the country, the factors driving consumption came under pressure putting hard brakes on the growth rates. The retail sector saw a decline of 3% in 2020 after witnessing a growth of 12-13% p.a. since 2010. This decline was due to supply and operational disruptions; lower footfall due to lockdown limitations and perceived health risks; and lower discretionary spends due to income uncertainty.

PML’s retail business witnessed swift recovery in consumption across malls on the back of a strong festive season and the trends sustained until the second wave.

Covid-19 has brought changes in the spending patterns of consumers along with some long-term lifestyle changes. Analysis of key macro-economic trends suggests that consumption will recover steadily, and retail sales are poised for a comeback over this year. The recovery from the pandemic is expected to occur at varying speeds across categories: essentials going strong, while discretionary recovering at a slower pace.

Long-Term Outlook

According to IBEF reports, India’s retail is expected to grow to ~$1.5 tn with ~$700 bn addition in market size by 2030, with the creation of around 25 million new jobs. Due to COVID, there may be 1-2 year lag to achieve this market size as India’s retail sector is fast expected to bounce back to pre-covid trajectory. Large population base and rapidly changing consumer needs are likely to drive the future of Indian retail industry. While a large portion of the market still remains unorganised, the share of organised retail is growing rapidly. Digitization and internet penetration will further fuel the industry to grow.

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

Management Discussion & Analysis (contd.)

While disruptions will be a way of life going forward, India’s demand growth is expected to grow at ~10% over the long term. There is a significant opportunity for retailers to capture a share of the increasing demand in the years ahead. However, they need to cater to the changing demand dynamics and re-evaluate their value proposition and retail relevance.

REAL ESTATE SUB-SECTORS

As per IBEF report, the real estate sector in India is expected to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2030. By 2025, it is expected to contribute 13% to the country’s GDP. The emergence of nuclear families, rapid urbanisation and rising household income are likely to remain the key drivers for growth in all spheres of real estate, including residential, commercial, and retail. Rapid urbanisation in the country is pushing the growth of real estate with >70-75% of India’s GDP contributed by urban areas.

Retail Real Estate

Notwithstanding the ensuing second wave, the gradual lifting of lockdown and travel restrictions is expected to revive real estate assets, improve income visibility, and attract cross-border investments in CY2021. The large dry powder, low interest rates, and continued monetary stimulus are expected to bring broad-based investment growth. The success of REITs is expected to further drive investment momentum.

Impact of the Pandemic & Retail Real Estate Market Outlook

The retail real estate segment saw a significant impact on the revenue during FY2021 on account of closure of operations for two to five months and consequent rental waivers offered by mall operators. Rental discounts are being phased out gradually given that mall developers and property owners have their own financial obligations and have been accommodative towards retailers since the onset of the pandemic.

Most of the mall developers opted the moratorium benefit and the interest during moratorium was capitalised by lenders cushioning the impact on the credit risk profile during FY2021.

Post resumption of operations, the footfalls and trading densities in malls have been gradually improving. The improvement is also supported by festive season during Q3 FY2021.

With the second wave of COVID 19 hitting India, recent micro level restrictions announced by various states are expected to affect mall footfalls and numbers of visitors are likely to be muted. As vaccine adoption occurs across the country, India will slowly but surely look to getting back to the pre-pandemic normal, which will result in people visiting malls.

Commercial Real Estate

According to UBS Research, India’s Commercial Real Estate has been in a strong upcycle for the past five years, with demand higher than supply, rents growing at 5-8% CAGRs and vacancies falling to decades lows. The market was expected to continue its flight in 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent containment measures brought about challenges for the office sector in the second quarter of CY2020. Corporate occupiers were forced to adopt work from home practices and reimagine their workplace strategies.

On the contrary, despite the emergence of concepts of work from home and work near home, occupiers with healthy financial profile in grade A office spaces have continued to meet their existing leases and commitments on time, which are not expected to impact leasing agreements. While net office leasing has picked up from COVID Lows, path to recovery appears long.

Major real estate decisions were delayed, hampering both supply and demand. Business activities resumed with the gradual opening of the economy in the third quarter of CY2020 and the office market witnessed green shoots of recovery. Sentiments improved further in the last quarter of CY2020 with the news of potential vaccine development, and the office market continued its recovery momentum. Net absorption increased by 52%, while new completions grew by 39% when compared to the preceding quarter. (Source – JLL Research)

Impact of the Pandemic & Commercial Real Estate Market Outlook

The mass remote working, adopted due to lockdown, was successful in maintaining business continuity to a great extent, which challenged traditional notions

and prompted corporate occupiers to rethink workplace design and utilisation. Corporate occupiers started prioritising business continuity and building mechanisms to insulate against sudden economic fluctuations. Additionally, a cautious approach to capital expenditure was adopted. These changes are likely to shape the future of the office market in India.

This being said, it is important to note that companies had started welcoming employees back to offices in Q3FY21. The proportion of the workforce that has

Management Discussion & Analysis (contd.)

returned has increased in the Q4FY21 and this trend was expected to continue. However, the second wave of COVID 19 has disrupted this trend due to imposition of state wise micro lockdowns which forced companies to shift back to work from home mode. The post-COVID ‘new normal’ for offices will be characterised by hybrid work models with an enhanced focus on sustainability, wellness, and user experience. It is too early and implausible to write off a comprehensive and strong segment that has an extensive bearing on the country’s economic growth. Besides, it has been established unequivocally that despite the virtues of work from home, there is the inherent need of social connection for a business to perform efficiently and thrive in the long term, involving factors such as connectivity and data security will need careful consideration.

Residential

In light of the situation created by COVID-19, various restrictions were imposed by the Indian Government to curb the pandemic led to a temporary halt in ongoing real estate development projects. This had a domino effect with respect to the large scale reverse migration of labourers and disruption in supply chain of materials. With companies declaring “Work From Home” or a blended work from home situation, many home buyers sought to buy their own space or a bigger space. Demand for townships with a range of amenities has accelerated after COVID-19 emphasised the importance of having amenities within your project. This may include amenities ranging from a swimming pool to an office centre.

==> picture [237 x 383] intentionally omitted <==

In 2020, the residential market showed quick signs of recovery and the growth momentum continued in Q1 2021. The sales volume recovered to more than 90% of the volumes witnessed in Q1 2020 (pre-COVID) across the top 7 cities. This has been on the back of low home loan interest rates, stagnant residential prices, lucrative payment plans & freebies from developers and government incentives such as the reduction of stamp duty in some states. The ease of lockdown restrictions and the commencement of the vaccination drive have further aided in bringing buyers back to the market.

Residential Real Estate Market Outlook

As the sector slowly trends on the path to recovery, it has to realign to face new realities and meet with buyers’ new expectations. It is expected that new project launches may pick up pace in FY2022 and developers are to focus on completion of projects that were delayed in FY2021 due to COVID-19 induced

restrictions. This is expected to have a positive impact on the demand for housing.

z Under residential units, the affordable housing and mid-price houses are expected to witness better demand and early recovery as against units with highticket size especially with continuation of credit linked subsidy scheme by Government.
z The finance minister has also announced the extension of the time limit to avail of benefits on purchase of affordable housing by one more year, to March 31, 2022.
z Tier-2 and tier-3 cities is to witness greater demand as the reverse migration, caused by the rise of the remote working culture has led to homebuyers purchasing houses in their hometowns now.

RISK MANAGEMENT & INTERNAL CONTROLS

PML identifies new risks and re-evaluates old risks during the year, in the process of considering risk mitigating strategies. Some of the risks the Company’s core businesses are exposed to include credit risk, market risk, operational risk, and legal risk. It is also exposed to specific risks in connection with the management of investments and the environment within which it operates. The Company manages cost escalation risk through processes aimed at optimizing costs through suppliers and through rigorous contracts and procurement. To manage project execution risk, PML evaluates track records and performance capabilities to ensure the right contracts are on board. As a part of the monitoring system, a project review is done every week on timelines and budgets to evaluate project cost and costs to completion.

The Company seeks to understand, limit, and manage the adverse impacts arising from external and internal events. The risk management team safeguards and

protects the Company’s assets against unauthorized use or disposition, maintenance of proper accounting records and verification of authenticity of all transactions. Within the Company, the directors are responsible for maintenance of a sound system of internal controls. This is done by way of continuous process of identifying, evaluating, and managing the risks faced by the company.

The Group’s effectiveness on internal control and their internal control system is also checked by external agencies. This results in an unbiased and independent examination of the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control system and aims to achieve the objective of optimal functioning of the Company.

At The Phoenix Mills Limited (PML), we are deeply invested in reimagining our future into a shared reality that everyone can adapt to with ease, and benefit from equitably. Our ESG Vision focuses on shaping and sharing solutions to tackle this global challenge. Recognising the finite and irreplaceable nature of many of our natural resources, we have a responsibility to measure and mitigate our impact on them, to enhance their value within the communities in which we operate, and to be considerate in our use of them. We do this working with our networks (all of our stakeholders, including our customers, communities and supply chain) and know that there is a lot more to do. The COVID-19 pandemic has helped all of us to appreciate the benefits of the natural environment for our own health and mental wellbeing and to see how diverse ways of working and lifestyle can transform some of the negative impacts we have had on the environment. The pandemic presents both challenges and opportunities and has reinforced understanding of the interdependencies between the capitals.

We have made considerable progress on this path in fiscal 2021 and are happy to share with you the highlights of our efforts and their outcomes in this ESG executive summary report.

World is facing Climate change as one of the principal challenges. Human emissions of greenhouse gases have considerably increased global temperatures since preindustrial times. We approach energy, water efficiency and waste management not only through systems and technology routes but also through advocacy and sensitization – thus influencing behavioural change. Over last three to five years, our conservation efforts have achieved good results with a steady dip in consumption of natural resources. Energy and water consumption year on year have decreased consistently in this period and waste recycling has improved despite increasing scale of business. We focus on sustaining the movement while exploring newer steps in space utilization

and applying the principles of simplifying, standardizing, and differentiating our approaches and processes.

While the COVID-19 crisis focuses our attention on business continuity at present, we are aware that it is value creation on the lines of People, Planet and Profit, which will make us thrive in the long run, beyond mere surviving the crisis. We believe sustainability is an integral and non-negotiable factor that helps us foster a nurturing environment, to realize our mission of helping businesses and societies to flourish. As a responsible organization, we have designed our sustainability programs to be effective and strategic.

Energy management is critical for controlling and reducing an organisation’s energy consumption, so that one can reduce costs. Energy efficiency also brings a variety of other environmental benefits, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing demand for energy imports, and lowering costs, both at a household and at the economy-wide level. Water conservation and management encompasses the policies, strategies and activities

made to manage water as a sustainable resource and to meet current and future human demand. Reducing our use of water reduces the energy required to process and deliver it to homes, business, farms, and communities, which in turn helps to reduce pollution and conserve fuel resources.

Low cost and environmentally favourable reuse of this waste materials have become an important topic with the respective national and local regulatory bodies stipulating minimum treatment levels and standards. Our waste management approach is based on the philosophy of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. We seek to uphold our ambition of zero waste to landfills through active minimization combined with technology investment in recycling and streamlining systems and processes. With our efforts, we contribute to a circular economy and convert waste to resource. Extending the Company’s efforts towards elevated environmental stewardship, we have adopted a strategic approach to waste management at each of our operating locations.

Supply Chain

We recognize that suppliers are valuable stakeholders in our business ecosystem. Our Responsible Supply Chain Policy categorizes our suppliers in three segments: people, services and products. Our ability to identify, assess and mitigate supply chain risks helps us ensure a more sustainable one. Considering its impact on our value creation model, we work to eliminate real or potential risk exposure to supply chain performance. The framework identifies risk across the supplier processes - pre-contract and evaluation, contract execution, ongoing and post-exit.

Our Supplier Code of Conduct is administered to all key suppliers. Our agreement with vendors includes a mandate to follow local laws and regulations. We expect our suppliers to support and respect internationally proclaimed human rights guidelines. Our contracts have right clauses and checks to prevent the employment of child labour or forced labour in any form. We also provide forums, where suppliers can voice their concerns and issues. All suppliers must sign our Supplier Code of Conduct.

==> picture [249 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

Our strong supplier base consists of trusted partners, chosen with a conscious approach to local sourcing, and adherence to the supplier code of conduct, which insists on selfdeclarations with respect to EHS, human rights, and elimination of child labour and forced labour.

Our approach is to progressively engage with our suppliers to inculcate responsible business practices in the entire supplier life cycle. In India, we have launched several awareness programs across our campuses for our contract workforce on subjects, including our values and Code of Conduct, anti-discrimination, antisexual harassment, wages, benefits, health and safety and emergency preparedness.

b. Behavioural Competencies: A well-defined Behavioural competencies framework of Phoenix acts as base to improve the workforce capabilities to be future ready and to enhance their managerial and leadership skills as per the requirement of the organization. To enhance the capabilities and to make our young managers and leaders to be future ready a series of program around the competency framework were delivered.
c. Life Skills: Many programs were conceptualized to share & inculcate the life skills in employees such as knowing and managing oneself, knowing one’s managerial style, impact of collaborative approach, presenting with impact.

All the above sessions were coupled with enthusiasm for learning and active participation which created great and impeccable insights.

Aakar Charitable Trust

PML’s collaboration with Aakar Charitable Trust continues to grow from strength to strength towards setting higher benchmarks in water conservation and rainwater harvesting in rural areas for the benefit of underprivileged communities. Mrs. Amla Ruia, fondly called the “Water Mother of India”, has been an instrumental force in transforming the water scenario in rural areas of India, in the highly water-deficient regions in and around Rajasthan. She founded Aakar Charitable Trust, an organisation that has built check dams across many villages in the water-scarce areas of Rajasthan, Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Odisha and Haryana. The efforts taken up by her initiative have made farmers self-reliant, enabling them to grow multiple crops and venture into animal husbandry.

Why check dams?

Check dams provide water while simultaneously rejuvenating the ecology. Check dams safeguard the area where built from drought as well as floods. Rain at the beginning of the monsoon season does not assure a good kharif crop but in the presence of a check dam, rain water will be held by the check dam which will in turn recharge all the bores & wells in the vicinity, thus ensuring a hassle-free kharif crop and hope for a reasonable rabi crop even in scarce monsoon rains. Wells falling below the structure are replenished in no time by the natural capillary action of the soil. All hand

Cherishing our Environment, People & Society (contd.)

pumps, bore wells etc. in the vicinity are recharged. During monsoon, when the check dam overflows, the level of water in the well comes up to the brim of the well and remains there for the farmers to utilize for the winter crop. With the availability of water, the farmer quickly develops additional acres of land and takes them under cultivation for the winter crop. Thus, where only 2% of the land was ploughed, now 98% of the land comes under irrigated cultivation.

The wells are situated in the middle of the farmland and have pumps fitted on them. As the level of water is now high, consumption of diesel goes down. Pumps can be operated 24 hours of the day if need be. They can sell their

water to neighboring farmers. Migrant labor returns. Reverse exodus from urban areas takes place. The youth and able-bodied come back to their homes to lead a life of dignity instead of living on footpaths and shanties in cities. Women no longer need to go through the drudgery of carrying pitchers full of water over long distances for household use, which would take a tremendous toll on their health and physical wellbeing. The female child now goes to school, as the mother is there to take care of household chores. Come harvest, there is an exponential jump in the income.

Where the villager could not afford one bullock to plough his fields, he now has eight to nine buffaloes and cows tied to his doorstep. Animal husbandry thus becomes a huge source of income. They have enough fodder for their own use and can sell surplus fodder to others. Prosperity reaches new heights as every person in the village benefits, and each village now boasts of 4 to 5 tractors and at least 2 two-wheelers in every home. In a nutshell joy, exuberance and dignity returns to the village and the population no longer lives below the poverty line.

Check dams have all the advantages of large dams with none of the disadvantages - like water logging or displacement of the population. New inventions will soon be there in the arena where-by small hydro plants will be put the check dams to provide hydroelectric power to a cluster of villages.

Key Highlights of work done by ACT till date:

z 490 check dams (water harvesting structures) constructed by Aakar Charitable Trust (ACT) during the period 2016 to present
z Work primarily focused on Rajasthan, and presence spread across UP, MP, Maharashtra and Bihar
z Directly benefitted close to 2.1 million and indirectly benefited 5.7 million people across over 650 villages
z Total investment of ` 300 mn ( 70% contributed by ACT and 30% by villagers)
z Work carried out by ACT has generated revenues to the tune of ` 13,000 mn transforming lives of ~ 0.8 mn people in 600 villages
z Women and children of under privileged communities greatest beneficiaries
z Recognition
» Profound work done by Aaakar Charitable Trust is why BBC decided to cover the work done by them amongst the 12 NGO’s from whole of Southeast Asia.
» Our choice was further strengthened by the Karamveer segment of Kaun Banega Crorepati, a popular Indian game show, that featured the works and accomplishments of the Trust.
» Additionally, TedX had approached and welcomed the organisation to its platform to inspire the promising students of BITS Pilani.
z ACT has also received support from other philanthropic organizations/individuals such as Queen City Rotary, Times Foundation, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, M.K. Tata, Inox Tufropes, Shapoorji Pallonji

OPERATING PERFORMANCE & KEY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS

Your Company today is one of the largest retail-led real estate Company in India. It has 9 operational retail assets with a leasable area of 6.9 Million square feet (‘MSF’) in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Lucknow and Bareilly. Apart from retail, your Company has 1.6 MSF of rent generating office portfolio in Mumbai and Pune, and two hotels – The St. Regis, Mumbai and Courtyard by Marriott, Agra. With a portfolio comprising of over 19 MSF of Retail, Residential, Commercial and Hospitality assets spread over more than 100 acres of land, the Company is best positioned in the industry to serve the people of India, one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Our mixed-used model of development gives us a 5-6 years head start in building top quality assets in the key gateway cities of India.

Board’s Report (contd.)

For the commercial office business in FY21, commercial office revenues were at 98% of last year at ` 1.1 billion. Our commercial office portfolio continues to remain resilient despite the pandemic. Your Company launched Fountainhead Tower 2 in Pune with approximate leasable area of 250,000 square feet and it has started contributing revenue from Q2 FY21.

Your Company has a residential portfolio of approximately 3.44 MSF in Bengaluru, of which it has launched approximately 2.83 MSF. The yet to be launched area pertains to Towers 8-9 at One Bangalore West which the Company intends to launch at an opportune time. The Company has observed strong traction in residential sales backed by robust demand for ready to move in inventory in post pandemic environment. Your Company sold and registered agreements for inventory worth 1,725 million during FY21. Your Company also recorded additional sales of 325 million during FY21 for which registration is yet to be completed, which will take our cumulative sales figure to ` 2,050 million during FY21.

Overall, the year gone by was challenging one for the company on the business front due to disruptions in operations on account of the pandemic. While office and residential portfolio was largely resilient, retail and hospitality businesses were affected due to multiple lock-downs and restrictions on operations across different cities. As a result, the Company had to give certain reductions in rentals to our retail partners which impacted our revenues. As the situation normalizes, we are seeing good traction in retail and hotel business and are hopeful of improved business prospects going ahead.

At The St. Regis, Mumbai, total income for the year was 653 million, 21% of the previous year. The hotel clocked an average occupancy of 29% with an ARR of 7,396. Courtyard by Marriott did revenues of 113 million with 36% occupancy and ARR of 3,340.

During the year, your Company launched its latest retail mall asset, Phoenix Palassio in Lucknow on the July 8, 2021. The mall is spread across approximately 950,000 square feet of total leasable area and will be a key district consumption hub for us in the region going forward. Phoenix Palassio Lucknow was possibly the only new mall to open up in India and possibly across the world during this pandemic. During the year, your Company acquired approximately 7.48 acres of prime land in Alipore for total consideration of 3 billion. The land parcel has retail development potential of 1 MSF and 200,000 square feet of additional development potential. CPP Investments has committed to invest up to 5.6 billion in the Kolkata project. In tranche one, CPP will bring in 1.8 billion for an initial stake of 31.03% on the first closing on a fully diluted basis. Upon receipt of construction approvals, CPP will further bring in 2.04 billion taking its aggregate stake in Kolkata development to 49% on a fully diluted basis.

The current pipeline of under construction malls include Phoenix Millennium at Wakad in Pune, Phoenix Citadel in Indore, Mall of Asia in Hebbal, Bengaluru and Palladium in Ahmedabad which will take up our portfolio to approximately 12 MSF.

Phoenix Millennium, Phoenix Mall of Asia, Phoenix Citadel and Palladium are owned and are being developed by our subsidiaries namely Alyssum Developers Private Limited, Sparkle One Mall Developers Private Limited, Insight Mall Developers Private Limited and SGH Realty LLP respectively. Your Company’s strategy is to keep adding at least a million square feet of retail to our portfolio every year post FY24.

During the year, your Company entered into another landmark strategic deal with GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund to establish an investment platform for retail-led mixed-use assets in India. This platform will seek to develop, own, and operate retail-led, mixed-use developments in India. GIC will acquire a significant minority stake in a US$733 million portfolio of retail-led mixed-use developments, located in the prime consumption centres of Mumbai and Pune. These assets, totalling ~3.4 MSF of leasable retail and office space, are currently amongst Company’s most prime and well-performing operational assets.

The rising aspirations and increase in per capita income of Indian people continues to inspire us. We remain optimistic about the retail market in India despite the transient impact of the pandemic and look forward to create shopping, dining & entertainment destinations in different cities to cater to the rising aspirations of urban consumers for many years to come.

ANNEXURE I

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION POLICY

1. Background and applicability

In terms of Regulation 43A of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (“Regulations”), top 500 listed companies (by market capitalisation) are required to formulate a Dividend Distribution Policy which shall be disclosed in their annual report and on their corporate website. Since the Company is one of the top five hundred listed companies as per the market capitalization as on March 31, 2016, in line with the above statutory requirement, the Board of Directors of The Phoenix Mills Limited (‘the Company’) have adopted the Dividend Distribution Policy (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Policy’). The Policy reflects the intent of the Company to reward its shareholders by sharing a portion of its profits after retaining sufficient funds for growth of the Company. The Policy also ensures the right balance between the quantum of Dividend paid and amount of profits retained in the business for various purposes, in the interest of providing transparency to the shareholders.

2. Dividend Distribution Philosophy

The philosophy of the Company is to maximise the shareholders’ wealth in the Company and is deeply committed to driving superior value creation for all its stakeholders through various means. The focus will continue to be on sustainable returns, through an appropriate capital strategy for both medium term and longer term value creation. The Company believes that driving growth creates maximum shareholder value. Thus, the Company would first utilise its profits for working capital requirements, capital expenditure to meet expansion needs, reducing debt from its books of accounts, earmarking reserves for inorganic growth opportunities and thereafter distributing the surplus profits in the form of dividend to the shareholders.

3. Parameters considered for declaration of Dividend

The Policy lays down parameters that will be followed by the Board of Directors of the Company in striking a right balance each year between the amount of Net Profit after Tax to be retained in the business and the amount of Net Profit after Tax earmarked for distribution as dividend to reward shareholders of the Company. The Company intends to follow these parameters in a consistent manner to ensure fair rewards for its shareholders each year while ploughing back adequate funds in the business to enable the Company to consolidate its financial strength and earn adequate distributable profit to reward its shareholders consistently.

In line with the philosophy stated above, the Board of Directors of the Company shall consider the following parameters before declaring or recommending dividend to shareholders:

A) Financial Parameters and Internal Factors:

a. Financial performance including profits earned (both standalone and consolidated), available distributable reserves etc;
b. Working Capital requirement
c. Capital Expenditure requirement
d. Cost and availability of alternative sources of financing
e. Resources required to fund acquisitions and/or new businesses
f. Cash flow required to meet contingencies and unforeseen events
g. Outstanding borrowings and debt repayment schedules;
h. Distributable surplus available as per the Act and Regulations

StRoNgeR through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

131

Board’s Report (contd.)

i. Past Dividend Trends
j. Impact of dividend pay-out on Company’s return on equity
k. Any other factor as deemed fit by the Board.

B) External Factors:

The Board of Directors of the Company would consider the following external factors before declaring or recommending dividend to shareholders:

a. Macroeconomic and business conditions in general
b. Prevailing legal requirements, regulatory conditions or restrictions laid down under the Applicable Laws including tax laws;
c. Dividend pay-out ratios of companies in the same industry.
d. Stipulations/ Covenants of loan agreements

4. Circumstances under which the shareholders of the Company may or may not expect dividend

The Board shall consider the factors provided above, before deciding on any dividend pay-out after analyzing the prospective opportunities and threats, viability of the options of dividend pay-out or retention etc. The decision of dividend pay-out shall, majorly be based on the aforesaid factors considering the balanced interest of the shareholders and the Company.

In line with Dividend Philosophy of the Company, there may be certain circumstances under which the shareholders of the Company may not expect dividend, including the circumstances where:

a. The Company requires significantly higher working capital which adversely impacts free cash flow
b. The Company is in higher need of funds to undertake any acquisitions or joint ventures requiring significant allocation of capital;
c. The Company proposes to utilize surplus cash for alternative forms of distribution such as buy-back of securities; or
d. The Company has incurred losses or is in the stage of inadequacy of profits.

5. Utilization of retained earnings

The Board may retain its earnings in order to make better use of the available funds and increase the value of the stakeholders in the long run. The profits retained by the Company (i.e. retained earnings) shall be used for following purposes:

Funding inorganic and organic growth needs including working capital, capital expenditure, repayment of debt, etc.
Buyback of shares subject to applicable limits
Payment of Dividend in future years
Issue of Bonus shares
Any other permissible purpose

Board’s Report (contd.)

6. Parameters with regard to various classes of shares

7. General

This Policy shall be reviewed at least once every 3 years. The Chief Investor Relations Officer and the Company Secretary are jointly authorized to obtain the approval of the Company’s Board for amendment of the Policy to give effect to any changes /amendments notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Securities and Exchange Board of India or any appropriate authority from time to time.

Dematerialisation of shares and liquidity

The process of conversion of shares from physical form to electronic form is known as dematerialisation. For dematerialising the shares, the shareholders should open a demat account with a Depository Participant (DP). The shareholder is required to fill in a Demat Request Form and submit the same along with the original share certificates to his DP. The DP will allocate a demat request number and shall forward the request physically and electronically through NSDL/CDSL to Registrar & Transfer Agent. On receipt of the demat request both physically and electronically and after verification, the shares are dematerialised and an electronic credit of the shares is given in the account of the shareholder.

The Company’s shares are required to be compulsorily traded on the Stock Exchanges in dematerialized form. The market lot of the Share of your Company is one Share.

Distribution of shareholding in physical and dematerialized form as of March 31, 2021 is as under:

Category	No. of Shareholders	No. of equity shares held	% of Total Shareholding
Dematerialized Form	23,033	17,15,83,654	99.83
Physical Form	228	2,87,522	0.17

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of THE PHOENIX MILLS LIMITED

Report on the Audit of Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of The Phoenix Mills Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2021, the Statement of Profit and Loss, 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 Companies Act, 2013 (“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, 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 (“SA”) specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 45 of the Financial Statements, which describes the company’s management evaluation of impact of Covid 19 pandemic on the future business operations and it’s consequential effects on the carrying value of assets (including trade receivables) as on 31[st] Mar, 2021. In view of uncertain economic conditions arising out of pandemic, the management’s evaluation of impact in subsequent periods on recoverability of assets (including trade receivables) is highly dependent upon conditions as they evolve. Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters (‘KAM’) are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of 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 were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (contd.)

In preparing the Standalone 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.

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objective are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements.

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

z Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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.
z 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.
z Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
z 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 Standalone 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.
z Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (contd.)

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial statements that, individually or in aggregate makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone Financial statements.

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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone 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 Auditor’s Report On the Standalone Financial Statements Of The Phoenix Mills Limited

(Referred to in paragraph 2 (f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial Statements of The Phoenix Mills Limited(“the Company”) as of 31[st] March, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year then ended..

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal controls with reference to standalone financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statements 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 with reference to standalone financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statements (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 with reference to standalone financial statements 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 with reference to standalone financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial with reference to standalone financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, 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 Standalone 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 with reference to standalone financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statements.

A company’s internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements is a process designed to provide a reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of standalone financial statements and the preparation of Standalone Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

213

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (contd.)

fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of Standalone 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 (3) 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 Standalone Financial Statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements, 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 with reference to standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to standalone financial statements 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, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system with reference to standalone financial statements and such internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements were operating effectively as at 31[st] March, 2021, based on the internal control with reference to standalone financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls with reference to standalone financial statements issued by the ICAI.

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021

1) Corporate Information:

The Company is a public limited company domiciled in India and is incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act applicable in India. The registered office of the company is located at 462, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai – 400 013.

The Company is engaged in the development and leasing of commercial and retail space. The principal place of business is at High Street Phoenix, 462, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai – 400 013.

These financial statements were approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on 27[th] May, 2021.

2) Basis of preparation of financial statements:

The Financial Statements have been prepared to comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.

The significant accounting policies used in preparing financial statements are set out in Note 3 of the Notes on Financial Statements and are applied consistently to all the periods presented. Except for the changes below, the Company has applied accounting policies consistently to all periods presented.

On March 24, 2021, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through a notification, amended Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. The amendments revise Division I, II and III of the schedule III and are applicable from April 1, 2021. The Company is evaluating the effects of the amendments on its financial statement.

3) Significant Accounting Policies:

a) Functional and presentation of currency:

The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees, which is the Company’s functional currency and all amounts are rounded to the nearest rupees in lakhs.

b) Basis of measurement:

The Financial Statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, except the following:

z Certain financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value.
z Defined benefit plans – plan assets measured at fair value.
z Share Based Payments measured at fair value.

c) Use of Estimates :

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as on the date of financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are described in Note.4. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

d) Property, Plant and Equipment:

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. Capital work in progress, and all other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Such cost includes the costs for long-term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Depreciation is calculated using the Written down Value method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as 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 assets’ residual values and useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Estimated useful life of assets

Estimated useful life of assets
Particulars	Estimated useful life (in years)
Building	30-60years
Plant and Equipment	8-15 Years
Ofce Equipment	3-21 Years
Computers	3-6 Years
Furniture and Fixtures	5-15 Years
Vehicles	8 Years

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

e) Intangible assets:

Identifiable intangible assets are recognised when the Company controls the asset & it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.

Intangible assets acquired are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation methods and periods

Estimated useful lives of Intangible assets are considered as 5 years Intangible assets are amortised over its useful life using the straight-line method. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

f) Impairment of Non – Financial Assets:

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or Cash Generating Unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or a groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account, if no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

g) Financial Instruments:

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instruments of another entity. Classifications of financial instruments are in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and as per the definitions of financial assets, financial liability and an equity instruments.

Financial Assets and investments

i) Initial recognition and measurement:

At initial recognition, the company measures a financial asset (other than financial asset at fair value through profit or loss) at its fair value plus or minus, transaction costs that are directly 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 & loss.

ii) Subsequent recognition and measurement:

Subsequent measurement of financial asset depends on the company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. For the purpose of subsequent recognition and measurement financial assets are classified in four categories:
Debt instrument at amortised cost:
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.
Debt instrument at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses and interest revenue which are recognised in the statement of profit & loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

222

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

Debt instrument at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL):
Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in the statement of profit & loss and presented net in the statement of profit & loss within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.
Equity instruments:
All equity instruments are initially measured at fair value. Any subsequent fair value gain /loss is recognised through profit or loss if such investments are held for trading purposes. The fair value gains or losses of all other equity investments are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.
Investment in Subsidiary and Associates:

The company has accounted for its Investment in subsidiaries and associates at cost.

iii) Derecognition:

A financial asset is primarily derecognised i.e. removed from Company’s financial statement when:

The rights to receive cash flows from asset have expired, or
The Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under ‘passthrough’ arrangement and either;
a) The Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the assets,
b) The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the company could be required to repay.

Financial Liabilities:

i) Initial recognition and measurement:

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

223

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

ii) Subsequent measurement:

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and has designated upon initial measurement recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit & loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated as such at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind AS 109 are satisfied.

iii) Financial Liabilities at amortised cost:

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit & loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss.

Derecognition:

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

h) Impairment of Financial assets:

The company assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model to the following:

z Financial assets carried at amortised cost;

z Financial asset measured at FVOCI debt instruments.

The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on

Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

224

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the company determines that whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used. If, in a subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the entity reverts to recognising impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.

Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. The 12-month ECL is a portion of the lifetime ECL which results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the company combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.

i) Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and at bank, deposits with banks 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.

j) Foreign currency transactions:

k) Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non – current:

The Company presents assets and liabilities in Balance Sheet based on current/non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when it is:

a) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle,
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
c) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when:

a) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle,
b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

l) Equity share capital:

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs net of taxes directly attributable to the issue of new equity shares are reduced from retained earnings, net of taxes.

m) Revenue Recognition:

The company’s revenue from contracts with customers is mainly from License Fees and Other Services rendered to the customers in Malls. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified the Ind AS 116 ‘Leases’ effective from April 1, 2019. Ind AS 116 has replaced the existing leases standard Ind AS 17. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures for both parties to a contract, i.e. the lessee and the lessor. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Application of above standard does not have any significant impact on the financial statements

Revenue from license fees and other operating services

Revenue from license fees are recognised on a straight line basis over the license terms,.

Revenue from operating services is recognized on satisfaction of performance obligation upon transfer of control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example taxes and duties collected on behalf of the government). Consideration is generally due upon satisfaction of performance obligations and a receivable is recognized when it becomes unconditional. Generally, the credit period varies between 0-30 days from the delivery of services.

A contract asset (Trade receivable) is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Company performs part of its obligation by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration when that right is conditional on the Company’s future performance.

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is received. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

Interest income

Interest income from debt instrument is recognised using effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of financial asset to the gross carrying amount of financial asset. When calculating effective interest rate, the company expects cash flows by considering all contractual terms of financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised when the right to receive the payment is established.

n) Employees benefits:

(i) Short-term Employee benefits:

All employees’ benefits payable wholly within 12 months rendering services are classified as Short Term obligations. Benefits such as salaries, wages, short term compensated absences, performance incentives, expected cost of bonus and ex-gratia are recognised during the period in which the employees renders related services.

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

(ii) Post-employment benefits

a. Defined Contribution Plan

The defined contribution plan is post-employment benefit plan under which the Company contributes fixed contribution to a government administered fund and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contribution. The Company’s defined contribution plan comprises of Provident Fund, Labour Welfare Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme. The Company’s contribution to defined contribution plans are recognised in the statement of profit & loss in the period in which the employee renders the related services.

b. Defined benefit plan

The Company has defined benefit plans comprising of gratuity. Company’s obligation towards gratuity liability is funded and is managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The present value of the defined benefit obligations is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount defined benefit obligation is determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Indian Government Bonds for the estimated term of obligations.

Re-measurements comprising of (a) actuarial gains and losses, (b) the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) and (c) the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to the statement of profit & loss in subsequent periods.

The expected return on plan assets is the Company’s expectation of average long-term rate of return on the investment of the fund over the entire life of the related obligation. Plan assets are measured at fair value as at the Balance Sheet date.

The interest cost on defined benefit obligation and expected return on plan assets is recognised under Employee Benefit Expense.

Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of defined benefit plan are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occur

(iii) Other long-term benefits

The Company has other long-term benefits in the form of leave benefits. The present value of the other long term employee benefits is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount defined benefit obligation is determined by reference to market yields at the Balance Sheet date on Indian Government Bonds for the estimated term of obligations.

Actuarial gains or losses arising on account of experience adjustment and the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised immediately in the statement of profit & loss as income or expense.

Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of other long-term benefits are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occur

(iv) Share-based payments

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees of the group via Employee Stock Option Plan of The Phoenix Mills Limited.

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

The fair value of options granted under the Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefits expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

z including any market performance conditions (e.g., the entity’s share price)
z excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (e.g. profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period), and
z Including the impact of any non-vesting conditions (e.g. the requirement for employees to save or holdings shares for a specific period of time).

The total expense, other than in respect of options granted to employees of group companies, is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. The cost of options granted to employees of group companies is debited to the cost of the investment of the respective companies. At the end of each period, the company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the nonmarket vesting and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the statement of profit & loss / Investment, with a corresponding adjustment to other equity.

o) Borrowing Cost:

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 such capitalisation.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that are incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.

p) Income Taxes:

Current Income Tax:

Current Income Tax liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authorities using the tax rates and tax laws that are enacted or subsequently enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and creates provisions where appropriate.

Deferred Tax:

Deferred Tax is provided, using the Balance sheet approach, on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred Tax is determined using the tax rates and tax laws that are enacted or subsequently enacted at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred Tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax asset and liabilities are offset where the company has a legally enforceable right and intends either to settle on net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in the statement of profit & loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Deferred tax assets include Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws in India, to the extent it would be available for set off against future current income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as deferred tax asset in the balance sheet when the asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with the asset will be realised.

q) Provisions and contingencies:

Provisions are recognised 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. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using the government securities’ interest rate for the equivalent period. Unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as a finance cost. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made. Information on contingent liability is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is no longer a contingent asset, but it is recognised as an asset.

r) Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss (after tax) for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss (after tax) for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

4. Use of significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates and judgements, which have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

(a) Depreciation and useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account their estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Company’s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

(b) Investment Property

Management has assessed applicability of Ind AS 40- Investment property to the property held to earn income from licensee fees. In assessing such applicability, management has considered the ownership of assets, terms of license agreement, various services provided to the licensee etc. The Company considers these other services as significant in addition to the License fees charged. Based on such assessment, the management has considered the mall property as owner-occupied property and hence classified as Property, Plant & Equipment.

(c) Recoverability of trade receivables

Judgments are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. The Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

(d) Defined Benefit plans

The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and attrition rate. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

(e) Provisions:

Provisions and liabilities are recognized in the period when it becomes probable that there will be a future outflow of funds resulting from past operations or events and the amount of cash outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing of recognition and quantification of the liability require the application of judgement to existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. Since the cash outflows can take place many years in the future, the carrying amounts of provisions and liabilities are reviewed regularly and adjusted to take account of changing facts and circumstances.

(f) Impairment of financial assets:

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Company’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

(g) Fair Value measurement:

When the fair values of financials assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Balance Sheet cannot be measured based on quoted prices in active markets, their fair value is measured using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model, which involve various judgments and assumptions.

|Withdrawal rate|+1%|1.81|1.30|
||-1%|(2.11)|(1.58)|

These gratuity plan typically expose the Company to actuarial risks such as: investment risk, interest risk, longevity risk and salary risk.

Investment Risk:

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds. For other defined benefit plans, the discount rate is determined by reference to market yield at the end of reporting period on high quality corporate bonds when there is a deep market for such bonds; if the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will create a plan deficit.

Interest risk

A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan debt investments.

Longevity risk

The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

Salary risk

The present value of the defined plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

Notes to Standalone Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values

1 Fair value of the Equity Shares are based on price quoted on stock exchange.
2 Fair value of unquoted equity shares and CCD’s is Fair value under level 3 of hierarchy, Equity share in EWDL of 4,501.25 Lakhs & NCD of 10,000 Lakhs in TWDPL which are fully provided (Refer Note 40). Except same other CCD not being material carrying value is considered FV.
3 Fair value of Long term Borrowings is calculated based on discounted cash flow.
4 Fair value of Financial Assets & Financial Liability(except Long term Borrowings) are carried at amortised cost and is not materially different from it’s carrying cost.

B) Fair Value hierarchy:

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of Company’s asset and liabilities, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 as described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices / published NAV (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. It includes fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets and are based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). Fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on the company specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable then instrument is included in level 2

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

48 Financial risk Management:

The Company’s activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note explains the sources of risks which the entity is exposed to and how it mitigates that risk.

• Market risk:

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings and investments in securities.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to insignificant foreign exchange risk as at the respective reporting dates.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk pertaining to funds borrowed at floating interest rates.

Almost 100% of the company’s borrowings are linked to BR + Margin. With all other variables held constant, the following table demonstrates the impact of change in interest rate on borrowing cost on floating rate portion of loans.

Commodity and Other price risk

The Company is not exposed to the comodity and other price risk.

• Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company that a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, mutual funds, financial institutions and other financial instruments.

Trade and other receivables:

The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. To manage credit risk, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of the customer, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and aging of accounts receivables. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored to make an assessment of recoverability. Receivables are provided as doubtful / written off, when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Where receivables have been provided / written off, the Company continues regular followup , engage with the customers, legal options / any other remedies available with the objective of recovering these outstandings.

The Company is not exposed to concentration of credit risk to any one single customer since services are provided to vast specturm. The Company also takes security deposits, advances , post dated cheques etc from its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.

Cash and cash equivalents an other investments

The Company is exposed to counter party risk relating to medium term deposits with banks. The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Generally, the balances are maintained with the institutions with which the Company has also availed borrowings.

Exposure to credit risk

The gross carrying amount of financial assets, net of impairment losses recognised represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at March 31.2021 and March 31, 2020 is as follows:

Cash and Cash equivalents, other Investments, Loans and other financial assets are neither past due nor impaired. Management is of the view that these financial assets are considered good and 12 months ECL is, accordingly, not provided.

• Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

The Company’s objective is to at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Company relies on a mix of borrowings, capital infusion and excess operating cash flows to meet its needs for funds. The current borrowings are sufficient to meet its short to medium term expansion needs. Management monitors the Company’s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

The Company is required to maintain ratios (such as debt service coverage ratio and secured coverage ratio) as mentioned in the loan agreements at specified levels and also cash deposits with banks to mitigate the risk of default in repayments. In the event of any failure to meet these covenants , these loans become callable to the extent of failture at the option of lenders, except where exemption is provided by lender.

B. Measurement of fair values

i. Equity-settled share-based payment arrangements

The fair value of the employee share options has been measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the arrangements were not taken into account in measuring fair value.

The requirement that the employee has to save in order to purchase shares under the share purchase plan has been incorporated into the fair value at grant date by applying a discount to the valuation obtained. The discount has been determined by estimating the probability that the employee will stop saving based on historical behavior.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI‘s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and other auditors is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 52 of the Financial Statements, which describes the company’s management evaluation of impact of Covid 19 pandemic on the future business operations and it’s consequential effects on the carrying value of assets (including trade receivables) as on 31[st] Mar, 2021. In view of uncertain economic conditions arising out of pandemic, the management’s evaluation of impact in subsequent periods on recoverability of assets (including trade receivables) is highly dependent upon conditions as they evolve. Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters (‘KAM’) are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated 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.

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 consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this audit report.

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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance

Management Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Holding Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act, with respect to the preparation and presentation of these Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance including consolidated other comprehensive income, consolidated cash flows and the consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group 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.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the each company included in 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 were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the directors of the holding Company, as aforesaid.

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

277

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (contd.)

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of each company 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 included in the Group is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

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

z Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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.
z 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 Act, 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.
z Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
z 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 consolidated 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.
z Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
z Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group 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 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.

278

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (contd.)

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Consolidated Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated 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.

Other Matters

a) We did not audit the Financial statements and other information in respect of twenty eight subsidiaries which reflects total assets of 8,37,317.67 Lakhs as at 31[st] March, 2021, total revenue of 59,733.98 Lakhs for the year ended 31[st] March, 2021, total net profit after tax of (4,632.78) Lakhs for the year ended 31[st] March, 2021 and total comprehensive income (1,442.79) Lakhs for the year ended 31[st] March, 2021 and net cash outflow of 5,994.78 Lakhs for the year ended 31[st] March, 2021 and financial statements of two associates in which the share of profit/(loss) of the group (including other comprehensive income) 55.47 Lakhs for the year ended 31[st] March, 2021. These financial statements and other financial information have been audited by another auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management of the Company and our opinion in so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these subsidiaries and associates is based solely on the report of other auditors.
b) The Statement includes financial statements and other information of one associate in share of profit/ (loss) of the Group (including other comprehensive income) is ` Nil for the year ended 31[st] March, 2021, which is certified by the management.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (contd.)

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

A company’s internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated 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 (3) 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 consolidated financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements, 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 with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to Consolidated Financial Statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021

1) Corporate Information:

The Phoenix Mills Ltd (“PML” or ‘’Parent’’) is domiciled and incorporated in India and its shares are publicly traded on the National Stock Exchange (‘NSE’) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (‘BSE’), in India. The registered office of the company is at 462, Senapati Bapat Marg, Lower Parel, Mumbai – 400013, Maharashtra, India.

Group is engaged in operation and management of mall, construction of commercial and residential property and hotel business in India.

These financial statements were approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting dated 27[th] May, 2021.

2) Basis of preparation of financial statements:

The significant accounting policies used in preparing financial statements are set out below in Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

3) Significant Accounting Policies:

3.1. Basis of Measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention except following which have been measured at fair value:

Defined benefit plans – plan assets measured at fair value
Certain financial assets and liabilities that is measured at fair value.
Share based payments measured at fair value

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (“in lakhs“), which is the Group’s functional currency and all amounts are rounded to the nearest rupees in lakhs

3.2. Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group incorporate the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries and associates. The Parent Company has control over the subsidiaries as it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and has the ability to affect its returns through its power over the subsidiaries. Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee, rights arising from other contractual arrangements, the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights and the size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of the holdings of the other voting rights holders. The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but has no control or joint control over those policies.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

Consolidation Procedure:

a) Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries. For this purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.
b) Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Parent Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Parent Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Parent Company gains control until the date when the Parent Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Parent Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Parent Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
d) Adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries, as and when necessary, to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
e) All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
f) Carrying amount of the Parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the Parent’s portion of equity are eliminated. Business combinations policy explains how the related goodwill is accounted at the time of acquisition of subsidiary.
g) Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Parent Company.
h) Investment in Associates has been accounted under the equity method as per Ind AS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The Company accounts for its share of post acquisition changes in net assets of associates, after eliminating unrealised profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and its associates to the extent of its share, through its Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent such change is attributable to the associates’ Statement of Profit and Loss and through its reserves for the balance based on available information.

3.3. Business Combinations

The acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. The acquiree ‘s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the condition for recognition are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date except certain assets and liabilities required to be measured as per the applicable standard. Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognized as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities recognized and contingent liabilities assumed. In the case of bargain purchase, resultant gain is recognized in other comprehensive income on the acquisition date and accumulated to capital reserve in equity. The interest of non-controlling shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the non-controlling shareholders proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

3.4. Property, Plant and Equipment

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual value

Leasehold land is amortized over the period of lease. Depreciation on other fixed assets (excluding land and lease land in perpetuity) is provided on written down value method as per the useful life specified in schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, in the manner state therein. The residual values are not more than 5% of the original cost of the asset. The assets’ residual values and useful lives and method of depreciation are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. In some of the Subsidiaries, the Depreciation is provided on the straight line method as per the useful life specified in schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, in the manner state therein.

High end operating supplies acquired prior to commencement of the hotel operations and opening of new restaurants / outlets are considered as a part of fixed assets and are depreciated over a period of three years on straight line method.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the statement of profit or loss.

3.5. Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets are recognized a) when the Group controls the asset, b) it is probable that future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Group and c) the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.

Intangible Assets comprising Computer software, License & Franchise and acquired goodwill are amortised over the period not exceeding five years on straight line basis. The assets’ useful lives are reviewed at each financial year end.

3.6. Financial Instrument:

Financial Assets and investments

i) Initial recognition and measurement:

At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset (other than financial asset at fair value through profit or loss) at its fair value plus or minus, transaction costs that are directly 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 & loss.

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

290

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

ii) Subsequent recognition and measurement:

Subsequent measurement of financial asset depends on the group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. For the purpose of subsequent recognition and measurement financial assets are classified in four categories:

Debt instrument at amortised cost:

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

Debt instrument at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI):

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses and interest revenue which are recognised in the statement of profit & loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/ (losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

Debt instrument at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL):

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in the statement of profit & loss and presented net in the statement of profit & loss within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income.

Equity instruments:

All equity instruments other than in associates are initially measured at fair value. Any subsequent fair value gain /loss is recognised through profit or loss if such investments are held for trading purposes. The fair value gains or losses of all other equity investments are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income.

Investment in Associates:

The Group has accounted for its Investment in associates at cost

iii) Derecognition:

A financial asset is primarily derecognised i.e. removed from Group’s financial statements when:

The rights to receive cash flows from asset have expired, or
The Group has transferred its right to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under ‘pass- through’ arrangement and either;
a) The Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the assets,
b) The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

291

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

iv) Trade receivables:

A receivable is classified as a ‘trade receivable’ if it is in respect to the amount due from customers on account of goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value less provision for impairment. For some trade receivables, the Group may obtain security in the form of security deposit which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement.

Financial Liabilities:

i) Initial recognition and measurement:

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts.

ii) Subsequent measurement:

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the statement of profit & loss.

iii) Loans and Borrowings:

iv) Trade and other payables:

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

v) Derecognition:

3.7. Impairment of Assets

An asset is considered as impaired when at the date of Balance Sheet there are indications of impairment and the carrying amount of the asset, or where applicable the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the net asset selling price and value in use).

Impairment of Goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. The recoverable amount of cash generating unit is determined for each legal entity based on a value in use calculation which uses cash flow projections and appropriate discount rate is applied. The discount rate takes into account the expected rate of return to shareholders, the risk of achieving the business projections, risks specific to the investments and other factors. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Impairment of Non – Financial Asset:

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or Cash Generating Unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. It is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or a groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account, if no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.

Impairment of Financial asset:

The Group assesses impairment based on expected credit losses (ECL) model to the following:

Financial assets carried at amortised cost;
Financial asset measured at FVOCI debt instruments.

The Group follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on

Trade receivables or contract revenue receivables.

STRONGER through adversity The Phoenix Mills Limited Annual Report 2020-21

293

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

The application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

The Group uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

For assessing increase in credit risk and impairment loss, the group combines financial instruments on the basis of shared credit risk characteristics with the objective of facilitating an analysis that is designed to enable significant increases in credit risk to be identified on a timely basis.

3.8. Cash and cash equivalents

3.9. Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on FIFO basis.

Cost of realty construction / development includes all costs directly related to the project and other expenditure as identified by the management which are incurred for the purpose of executing and securing the completion of the Project (net off incidental recoveries/receipts).

Stock of food, beverages, stores and operating supplies are valued at lower of cost (computed on weighted average basis) and net realizable value.

Cost of inventories also includes all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

3.11. Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non – current:

The Group presents assets and liabilities in Balance Sheet based on current/non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when it is:

a) Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle,
b) Held primarily for the purpose of trading,
c) Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when:

a) It is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle,
b) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading,
c) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
d) There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

3.12. Equity share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs net of taxes directly attributable to the issue of new equity shares are reduced from retained earnings, net of taxes.

3.13. Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and it can be reliably measured. 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. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified the Ind AS 116 ‘Leases’ effective from April 1, 2019. Ind AS 116 has replaced the existing leases standard Ind AS 17. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures for both parties to a contract, i.e. the lessee and the lessor. Ind AS 116 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Application of above standard does not have any significant impact on the financial statements

Revenue from license fees and other operating services

Revenue from license fees are recognised on a straight line basis over the license terms,

The Group’s defined contribution plan comprises of Provident Fund, Labour Welfare Fund and Employee State Insurance Scheme. The Group’s contribution to defined contribution plans are recognised in the statement of profit & loss in the period in which the employee renders the related services.

b. Defined benefit plan

The Group has defined benefit plans comprising of gratuity. Group’s obligation towards gratuity liability is funded and is managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). The present value of the defined benefit obligations is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method.

Re-measurements comprising of (a) actuarial gains and losses, (b) the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) and (c) the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in the balance sheet with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to the statement of profit & loss in subsequent periods.

The expected return on plan assets is the Group’s expectation of average long-term rate of return on the investment of the fund over the entire life of the related obligation. Plan assets are measured at fair value as at the Balance Sheet date.

The interest cost on defined benefit obligation and expected return on plan assets is recognised under finance cost.

3.18. Earnings per share:

4. Use of significant accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following estimates and judgements, which have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

(a) Depreciation and useful lives of Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, after taking into account their estimated residual value. Management reviews the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation to be recorded during any reporting period. The useful lives and residual values are based on the Group’s historical experience with similar assets and take into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation for future periods is adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates.

(b) Investment Property

Management has assessed applicability of Ind AS 40- Investment property to the property held to earn income from licensee fees. In assessing such applicability, management has considered the ownership of assets, terms of license agreement, various services provided to the licensee etc. The Group considers these other services as significant in addition to the License fees charged. Based on such assessment, the management has considered the mall property as owner-occupied property and hence classified as Property, Plant & Equipment.

(c) Recoverability of trade receivables

Judgments are required in assessing the recoverability of overdue trade receivables and determining whether a provision against those receivables is required. The Group uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss allowance on its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivables and is adjusted for forward-looking estimates. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

(d) Defined Benefit plans

(e) Provisions

(f) Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected cash loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

(g) Fair Value measurement

5. New Standards Issued/ Amendment to Existing Standards and Schedules

On March 24, 2021, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through a notification, amended Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013. The amendments revise Division I, II and III of the schedule III and are applicable from April 1, 2021. The Group is evaluating the effects of the amendments on its financial statement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 (contd.)

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values

Fair value of the Equity Shares are based on price quoted on stock exchange.
Fair value of unquoted equity shares, Preference shares and CCD’s is taken at intrinsic value.
Fair value of Long term Borrowings is calculated based on discounted cash flow.
Fair value of Financial Assets & Financial Liability(except Long term Borrowings) are carried at amortised cost and is not materially different from it’s carrying cost.

Fair Value hierarchy:

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of Company’s asset and liabilities, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 as described below:

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). Fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on The Group specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable then instrument is included in level 2

included in level 3.

NOTE 37

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT:

The Group’s activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note explains the sources of risks which the entity is exposed to and how it mitigates that risk.

Market risk:
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings and investments in securities.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The groups is exposed to foreign exchange risk through purchases of goods or services from overseas supplier in foreign currency. The group generally transacts in US dollar. The foreign exchange rate exposure is balanced by purchasing of goods or services in the respective currency. The group is exposed to insignificant foreign exchange risk as at the respective reporting dates.
Interest rate risk
Fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument because of changes in market interest rates gives rise to interest rate risk. Almost 100% of the company’s borrowings are linked to BR + 1.75% p.a. floating at Monthly rest including TP. With all other variables held constant, the following table demonstrates the impact of change in interest rate on borrowing cost on floating rate portion of loans.

Commodity and Other price risk
The group is not exposed to the commodity and other price risk.
Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to The Group that a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its obligations. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks, mutual funds, financial institutions and other financial instruments.

Trade and other receivables:

The group extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The group considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. To manage credit risk, The group periodically assesses the financial reliability of the customer, taking into account the financial condition, current economic trends, and analysis of historical bad debts and aging of accounts receivables. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored to make an assessment of recoverability. Receivables are provided as doubtful / written off, when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Where receivables have been provided / written off, the group continues regular followup , engage with the customers, legal options / any other remedies available with the objective of recovering these outstandings.

The group is not exposed to concentration of credit risk to any one single customer since services are provided to vast specturm and hence, the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is low. The Group also takes security deposits, advances , post dated cheques etc from its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.

Cash and cash equivalents and other investments

The Group is exposed to counter party risk relating to medium term deposits with banks and investment in mutual funds.

The Group considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. Generally, the balances are maintained with the institutions with which The Group has also availed borrowings. The Group does not maintain significant cash and deposit balances other than those required for its day to day operations.

Exposure to credit risk

The gross carrying amount of financial assets, net of impairment losses recognised represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31[st] March 2021 and 31[st] March 2020 is as follows:

Cash and Cash equivalent, other Investment, Loans an other financial assets are neither past due nor impaired. Management is of view that these financial assets are considered good and 12 months ECL is not provided.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the group may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

The Group objective is to at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Group relies on a mix of borrowings, capital infusion and excess operating cash flows to meet its needs for funds. The current borrowings are sufficient to meet its short to medium term expansion needs. Management monitors The Group’s net liquidity position through rolling forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.

The Group is required to maintain ratios (such as debt service coverage ratio and secured coverage ratio) as mentioned in the loan agreements at specified levels and also cash deposits with banks to mitigate the risk of default in repayments. In the event of any failure to meet these covenants , these loans become callable to the extent of failture at the option of lenders, except where exemption is provided by lender.

60 Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill is tested for impairment on annual basis and whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is less than its carrying amount based on a number of factors including business plan, operating results, future cash flows and economic conditions. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is determined based on higher of value in use and fair value less cost to sell. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to a CGU representing the lowest level within the Group at which Goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, and which is not higher than the Group’s operating segment.

Goodwill is allocated to the following CGU for impairment testing purpose.

||(in Lakhs)|(in Lakhs)|

|Particulars|As at

|Goodwill relatingto HospitalityServices|257.16|257.16|
|Group’s share ofprofit|42,282.79|42,282.79|

The Group uses discounted cash flow based methods to determine the recoverable amount. These discounted cash flow calculations use five year projections that are based on financial forecasts. Cash flow projections take into account past experience and represent management’s best estimate about future developments.

Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the risks specific to the CGU, taking into considerations the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Company and its operating segments and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC).s
