(i) R Systems International Limited Employees Stock Option Plan - Year 2001 (âthe Planâ or âESOP Plan 2001â)
Indus Software Private Limited (âIndusâ) had outstanding options aggregating 21,967 equity shares as on March 31, 2002, to be issued to the eligible employees under the R Systems International Limited Employees Stock Option Plan - Year 2001 under various vesting periods as specified in the said Plan, duly approved by the erstwhile shareholders. Indus had established âR Systems Employees Welfare Trustââ (âthe R Systems Trustâ) (formerly known as Indus Software Employees Welfare Trustâ) to administer the plan, as approved by the members, for the benefits of the Companyâs employees and had provided an interest free loan of Rs. 3.38 million. Consequently, Indus had allotted 21,967 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a premium of Rs. 144 per equity share to the R Systems Trust to be further issued to the Indusâ eligible employees on the exercise of the underlying options granted to them.
As a result of the merger of Indus with the Company, all employees had surrendered their options in favour of the R Systems Trust to enable them to obtain options for shares in R Systems International Limited after the merger. The Company had issued 206,822 equity shares of Rs. 2 each at a premium of Rs. 113.42 per share to the R Systems Trust in exchange of 21,967 equity shares of Indus, apropos to the agreed swap ratio. During the earlier years out of the said 206,822 shares, 22,079 shares were issued to the employees on exercise of options.
The Company had consolidated each of its five equity shares of Rs. 2 each into one equity share of Rs. 10 each, then issued 1:1 bonus share to each of the then existing shareholder and further sub-divided each of the equity shares of Rs. 10 each into 10 equity shares of Re. 1 each. Consequently, the total number of shares issued are now 738,980 equity shares of Re. 1 each, which are treated as Treasury Shares.
The financial statement of the R Systems Trust have been included in the standalone financial statements of the Company as the trust was created for the benefit of the employees and administered by the Company and in substance the R Systems Trust functions as an extension of the Company. Therefore, an amount of Rs. 0.74 million and Rs. 2.28 million has been adjusted against issued, subscribed and paid-up capital and Securities Premium Account, respectively.

2. Earnings per share
Reconciliation of number of equity shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is set out below:
Fair value hierarchy:
The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable and consists of the following three levels:
Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs are 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 are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Fair values are determined in whole or in part using a valuation model based on assumptions that are neither supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument nor are they based on available market data.
There have been no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year.
3. Financial risk management
Financial risk factors and risk management objectives
The Companyâs activities expose it to foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Companyâs primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by team that has the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Companyâs policy that no trading in derivative for speculative purposes may be undertaken.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below:
Foreign currency risk
The Companyâs exchange risk arises from its foreign currency revenues (primarily in U.S. Dollars and Euros). A significant portion of the Companyâs 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 relative to these foreign currencies, the Companyâs revenues measured in Rupees may decrease.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company holds derivative foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. These derivative financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. The Company has recognised mark-to-market gain of Rs. 22.59 million (Previous year gain of Rs. 16.33 million) relating to such derivative financial instruments in the statement of profit and loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The following table gives details in respect of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts:
Foreign currency sensitivity analysis
For the year ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, every percentage point depreciation / appreciation in the exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies, would decrease / increase Companyâs profit before tax margin (PBT) by approximately 1.80% and 0.78%, respectively.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Companyâs receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk arises from deposits held with banks, investments with financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstanding accounts receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
Trade receivables
The Companyâs exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment.
One customer accounted for more than 10% of the revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Investments
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalent is limited as the Company generally invests in deposits with banks. Investments primarily includes investment in liquid mutual funds having good rating and debentures. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by the counterparties.
Liquidity risk
The Companyâs principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The investment of surplus cash is governed by the Companyâs investment policy approved by the Board of Directors. The Company believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.
As at December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital of Rs. 1,344.62 million including cash and cash equivalents and current fixed deposits of Rs. 475.24 million and current investments of Rs. 199.50 million. As at December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital of Rs. 1,109.88 million including cash and cash equivalents and current fixed deposits of Rs. 740.32 million and current investments of Rs. 136.88 million. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.
4. Capital Management
The Companyâs policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Company monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends on its equity shares. The Companyâs objective, when managing capital, is to maintain an optimal structure so as to maximize shareholder value. The capital structure is as follows:
The Company is predominantly equity financed which is evident from the capital structure table above. Further, the Company has always been a net cash company with surplus cash and bank balances invested in fixed deposit with banks and liquid mutual funds.
5. Segment information
Information reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the types of services provided. The CODM has identified the following as its reportable segments.
a) Information technology
b) Business process outsourcing
Revenues and expenses directly attributable to segments are reported under each reportable segment. Expenses which are not directly identifiable to each reportable segment have been allocated on the basis of associated revenues of the segment and manpower efforts. All other expenses which are not attributable or allocable to segments have been disclosed as unallocable expenses.
Assets and liabilities of the Company are used interchangeably between segments and the CODM does not review assets and liabilities at reportable segment level. Accordingly, segment disclosure relating to assets and liabilities has not been provided as per Ind AS 108.
Geographic segments are based on the areas in which the major customers of the Company operate and / or the area in which the assets are located. Although the Companyâs major operating divisions are managed on a worldwide basis, they operate in five principal geographical areas of the world which are: India, United States of America, South East Asian countries, Europe and Other areas.

In its transition from previous GAAP to Ind AS, the Company has also availed certain optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions in accordance with Ind AS 101.
An explanation of how this transition has affected the Companyâs financial performance and cash flows is set out in the following tables and notes.
A. Exemption from full retrospective application:
a. Share based payment transactions
The Company has elected to apply the exemption available under Ind AS 101 regarding application of Ind AS 102 âShare Based Paymentsâ; to equity instruments that had vested before the date of transition to Ind AS.
b. Investments in subsidiaries
Ind AS 101 permits a first-time adopter to elect to continue with the carrying value for all of its investments in subsidiaries as recognised in the financial statements as at the date of transition to Ind AS, measured as per the previous GAAP, and use that as its deemed cost as at the date of transition.
B. Mandatory exceptions
a. Estimates
An entityâs estimate on the date of transition to Ind AS shall be consistent with estimates made for the same date on accordance with previous GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any difference in accounting policies), unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were in error.
Ind AS estimates as at January 01, 2017 are consistent with the estimates as at the same date made in conformity with previous GAAP. The Company made estimates for the following items in accordance with Ind AS at the date of transition as these were not required under previous GAAP:
- Investment in mutual funds carried at FVTPL;

- Equity as at January 01, 2017;
- Equity as at December 31, 2017;
- Total comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2017; and
- Explanation of material adjustments to cash flow statements. In the reconciliations mentioned above, certain reclassifications have been made to previous GAAP financial information to align with the Ind AS presentation.
e. Notes to first time adoption
Note 1 - Security deposits measured at amortised costs
Under IGAAP, security deposits (both assets and liabilities) were accounted for at their undiscounted nominal values. Under Ind AS, these have been accounted for at amortised cost method by discounting the cash flows using effective interest rates. Consequently, the impact of aforesaid amortisation has been accounted for in the statement of profit and loss. The resulting changes as at the transition date has been adjusted in opening retained earnings.
Note 2 - Deferred tax
Ind AS 12 requires entities to account for deferred taxes using the balance sheet approach, which focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. The various transitional adjustments have led to temporary tax differences, which the Company has accounted for as deferred tax adjustments. Deferred tax adjustments are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction as either in profit and loss or other comprehensive income. The resulting changes as at the transition date has been adjusted in opening retained earnings.
Note 3 - Fair valuation of investment in Mutual Funds
Under IGAAP, investments in mutual funds were classified as current investments and were carried at lower of cost and fair value. Under the Ind AS, these investments are classified as at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and measured at fair value. The resulting fair value changes have been recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
Note 4 - Allowance for credit loss
Under IGAAP, the entity determined provisions for impairment of trade receivables (provision for bad and doubtful debts) using incurred loss model i.e. if they remained outstanding over the prescribed period. Under Ind AS, impairment allowance has been determined based on expected credit loss model (ECL) for trade receivables and other financial assets, which has resulted in additional provisions being accounted for in statement of profit and loss. The impact of additional provisions due to ECL as at the transition date has been adjusted in opening retained earnings.
Note 5 - Effect of inclusion of ESOP trust
Under Ind AS, the financial statement of R Systems Employee Welfare Trust (ESOP Trust) have been included in the standalone financial statements of the Company as the trust was created for the benefit of the employees and administered by the Company and in substance the ESOP Trust functions as an extension of the Company.
Note 6 - Share-based payments measurements
The Company has granted equity-settled share-based payments to certain employees. The Company accounted for these share-based payment arrangements by reference to their intrinsic value under previous GAAP. Under Ind AS, the related liability has been adjusted to reflect the fair value of the outstanding equity-settled share-based payments. Accordingly, the amount transferred from Employee Stock Option Outstanding account to Securities Premium account, due to issue of shares to employees against options, is also measured at fair value.
Note 7 - Re-measurements of post-employment defined benefit obligation
Under the previous GAAP, the actuarial gains/losses on defined benefit obligations and plan assets were recognised as employee benefits expense in the statement of profit and loss. Under Ind AS, such actuarial gains/losses are recognised under other comprehensive income. The related tax expense/income is also reclassified to other comprehensive income.
Note 8 - Impact of merger of GM Solutions Private Limited
