35. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company's financial risk management is an intergral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Company's

Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price
of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.
Market risk is attributable to all market sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, receivables
and payables.
The key risks include credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies and
procedures for management of these risks.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed, leading
to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities and from its security deposits to
landlords.To manage this, the Company periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers/landlords, taking into
account the financial condition, current economic trends.

None of the financial instruments of the Company result in material concentrations of credit risk.
The Company's objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased credit
risk exposure.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Financial assets
Balances with banks is subject to low credit risks due to good credit ratings assigned to these banks. Regarding other
financial assets that are neither past due nor impai.e. there were no indications as at March 31, 2019 (March 31, 2018: no
indications) that defaults in payment obligations will occur.

Notes
CORPORATE OVERVIEW

investment portfolio and portfolio exposure to instruments having lower credit rating, balancing the proportion of fixed rate
and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.

Total 129,063 129,063 - 129,063 -
Total 114,264 114,264 - 114,264 -
The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current liabilities
approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

carrying amount since they are carried at amortised cost in these financial statements.
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

Notes
35. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Group's financial risk management is an intergral part of how to plan and execute its business strategies. The Group's
financial risk management policy is set by the Board of Directors.
Market risk is the risk of loss of future earnings, fair value or future cash flows that may result from a change in the price of a
financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in the interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments. Market risk is attributable
to all market sensitive financial instruments including investments and deposits, receivables and payables.
The key risks include credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies and
procedures for management of these risks.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility that counter party may not be able to settle their obligations as agreed, leading to a
financial loss. The group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities and from its security deposits to landlords.To
manage this, the group periodically assesses the financial reliability of customers/landlords, taking into account the financial
condition, current economic trends.
None of the financial instruments of the group result in material concentrations of credit risk. The Group's objective is to
seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased credit risk exposure.
Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.
Financial assets
Balances with banks is subject to low credit risks due to good credit ratings assigned to these banks. Regarding other
financial assets that are neither past due nor impai.e. there were no indications as at March 31, 2019 (March 31, 2018: no
indications) that defaults in payment obligations will occur.
b) 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. In order to optimise the Group's position with regards to finance income and to manage the
interest rate risk, treasury performs a comprehensive corporate interest rate risk management by continuous review of
investment portfolio and portfolio exposure to instruments having lower credit rating, balancing the proportion of fixed rate
and floating rate financial instruments in its total portfolio.
The Group is not exposed to significant interest rate risk as at the respective reporting dates.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to settle or meet its obligations as they fall due. The Group's policy
on liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient liquidity in the form of cash and investment in liquid mutual funds to meet the
Group's operating requirements with an appropriate level of headroom. In addition, processes and policies related to
such risks are overseen by senior management. Management monitors the Group's net liquidity position through rolling
forecasts on the basis of expected cash flows.
