2.37: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)<br />

b. Liquidity risk<br />

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by<br />

ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without<br />

incurring unacceptable losses or risk to the Company’s reputation.<br />

As at 31 March 2015 and 2014, the Company had unutilized credit limits from banks of `10,619 and ` 14,596, respectively.<br />

As at 31 March 2015, the Company had working capital (i.e. current assets less current liabilities) of ` 50,554 including cash and bank balances of ` 18,724<br />

and current investments of ` 21,022. As at 31 March 2014, the Company had working capital of ` 45,354 including cash and bank balances of `23,006<br />

and current investments of ` 10,664.<br />

c. Market risk<br />

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings or fair values or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a financial instrument. The<br />

value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other market changes that<br />

affect market risk-sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk-sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables<br />

and payables and long term debt. The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the market<br />

value of its investments. Thus, the Company’s exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and<br />

operating activities in foreign currencies.<br />

Foreign exchange risk<br />

The Company’s exchange risk arises from its foreign operations, foreign currency revenues and expenses, (primarily in U.S. dollars, British pounds sterling,<br />

Roubles, Venezuelan bolivars and Euros) and foreign currency borrowings (in U.S. dollars, Euros and Roubles). A significant portion of the Company’s<br />

revenues are in these foreign currencies, while a significant portion of its costs are in Indian rupees. As a result, if the value of the Indian rupee appreciates<br />

relative to these foreign currencies, the Company’s financial performance may get adversely impacted. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and<br />

these foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the Company<br />

uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in<br />

foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its highly probable forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.<br />

The details in respect of the outstanding derivative contracts are given in Note 2.36 above.<br />

In respect of the Company’s derivative contracts, a 10% decrease / increase in the respective exchange rates of each of the currencies underlying such<br />

contracts would have resulted in an approximately `1,308 / (631) increase / (decrease) in the Company’s hedging reserve and an approximately ` 1,601<br />

/ (1,791) increase / (decrease) in the Company’s net profit as at 31 March 2015.<br />

In respect of the Company’s derivative contracts, a 10% decrease / increase in the respective exchange rates of each of the currencies underlying such<br />

contracts would have resulted in an approximately ` 1,254 / (945) increase / (decrease) in the Company’s hedging reserve and an approximately ` 3,856<br />

/ (4,004) increase / (decrease) in the Company’s net profit as at 31 March 2014.<br />
