I. Credit Risk

The company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) and from its financing activities (deposits with banks and other financial instruments).

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to perform or pay the amounts due causing financial loss to the company. Credit risk arises from company’s activities in investments, dealing in derivatives and outstanding receivables from customers.

Credit Risk Management

To manage the credit risk, the Company follows an adequate credit control policy and also has an external credit insurance cover with ECGC policy wherein the customers are required to make an advance payment before procurement of goods.

II. Liquidity Risk

III. Market Risk

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities in exports and imports which is majorly in US dollars.

Hence, to combat the foreign currency exposure, the Company follows a policy wherein the net sales are hedged by forward Contract.

The Company’s commodity risk is managed centrally through well-established trading operations and control processes.

Note:

The Company is a multi-product and multi-faceted one. The performance were earlier classified into four segments viz. Performance Chemicals, Agri-Intermediates & Fertilisers, Pharmaceuticals and Home & Personal Care Chemicals based on the end-use/applications.

In case of Performance Chemicals Segment and Agri Intermediates & Fertilizers Segment, a majority of manufacturing facilities are common and interlinked. As a result the segmental performance for these two segments would fluctuate based on the product mix adopted at each reporting period.

Thus for better interpretation of the operations resulting on account of these interchangeable facilities, it is decided to merge these two segments into a single reportable segment under the name of "Speciality Chemicals". Hence the performance of the Company shall be reclassified into three segments viz. Speciality Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Home & Personal Care Chemicals. This also facilitates the disclosure of Capital Employed for each segment, which earlier was not possible on account of common manufacturing facilities. This change does not have any financial impact.
