The cash and cash equivalents and term deposits are mainly held with banks, which are rated A+, A, AA-, A-, BBB, BB+, BB-, Ba1, based on (rating agency Fitch) ratings. The Group considers that its cash and cash equivalents and term deposits have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties.

The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade and other receivables and contract assets at the reporting date, categorised by type of counterparty was as follows:

Impairment Losses

The Group uses a provision matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for contract assets and trade and other receivables. The provision matrix takes into account available external and internal credit risk factors such as credit default and the Group's historical experience with customers.

The age of trade and other receivables and contract assets at the reporting date was as follows:

Allowance for impairment mainly represents amounts due from airlines and corporate customers. Based on historical experience, the Group believes that no impairment allowance is necessary, apart from above, in respect of trade and other receivables and contract assets.

c) Market Risk

 

Currency Risk

 

Exposure to Currency Risk

 

The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchase of services and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group companies. The functional currencies of Group companies are primarily the INR, USD and AED. The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated are INR, USD and AED.

 

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk was based on the following amounts as at the reporting dates (in equivalent USD) was as follows:

Sensitivity Analysis

Any change in the exchange rate of USD or AED against currencies other than INR is not expected to have significant impact on the Group’s profit or loss. Accordingly, a 10% appreciation of the USD or AED against the INR and INR against AED would have impact on profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

10% strengthening of INR against AED

A 10% depreciation of the USD or AED against INR and INR against AED, would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currency to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

 

The Group does not have any variable rate interest bearing financial instruments, hence there is no risk relating to change in interest rates.

Fair values

Fair Values versus Carrying Amounts

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the statement of financial position, are as follows:

The fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities reported above have been categorized as Level 1 and Level 3 fair values based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used.

 

Fair value of trade and other receivables, term deposits, cash and cash equivalents, receivable from related party, trade and other payables, bank overdraft and refund due to customers reasonably approximates to its carrying amount.

 

The fair value of convertible notes is determined using discounted cash flows. The valuation model considers the present value of expected payments, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate.

Fair value hierarchy

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Other investments - equity securities (FVTPL)

 

Market comparison technique: The valuation model is based on market multiple derived from quoted prices of companies comparable to the investee.

 

Net revenue multiple: 3.7 - 4.8 (March 31, 2024: 3.7 - 4.8)

 

The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if:
– the net revenue multiple was higher (lower)

Other liabilities (related to business combinations) - Simplotel

 

Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS): The valuation model incorporates assumptions as to volatility, risk free interest rate, discount rate, revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA).

 

Volatility: 23.2% - 48.0% (March 31, 2024: 23.8% - 53.5%)
Risk free interest rate:
6.60% (March 31, 2024: 7.13%)
Discount rate:
13.3% - 19% (March 31, 2024: 22.0%)
Revenue for 12 months ended September 30, 2025 - USD
3,054 (March 31, 2024: USD 4,907)
EBITDA (loss) for 12 months ended September 30, 2025 - USD
385 (March 31, 2024: USD (265))

 

The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if:
– the volatility was higher (lower)
– the risk free interest rate was lower (higher)
– the discount rate was lower (higher)
– the revenue was higher (lower)
– the EBITDA was higher (lower)

Other liabilities (related to business combinations) - Savaari

 

Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS): The valuation model incorporates assumptions as to volatility, risk free interest rate, discount rate, net revenue, servicing margin, profit before tax and certain financial parameters.

 

Volatility: 22.3% - 40.5% (March 31, 2024: 31.2% - 45.0%)
Risk free interest rate:
6.55% (March 31, 2024: 7.17%)
Discount rate:
17.4%-25.0% (March 31, 2024: 17.0%-20.8%)
Net revenue - USD
9,217 - USD 14,575 (March 31, 2024: USD 6,361 - USD 9,674)
Servicing margin - USD
1,424 - USD 2,199 (March 31, 2024: USD 1,790 - USD 2,648)
Profit before tax - USD
2,124 - USD 4,345 (March 31, 2024: USD 1,037 - USD 2,434)
Financial parameters - USD
4,549 - USD 6,656 (March 31, 2024: USD 4,883 - USD 7,064)

 

The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if:
– the volatility was lower (higher)
– the risk free interest rate was lower (higher)
– the discount rate was lower (higher)
– the net revenue was higher (lower)
– the servicing margin was higher (lower)
– the profit before tax was higher (lower)
– the financial parameters were higher (lower)
