(All amounts are in Indian Rupees except share data and where otherwise stated)

1 Company overview

Inditrade Capital Limited ("the Company") was incorporated on 17 October 1994. During the year, the company has sold its principal operating business of equity broking. The company continues to hold investments in subsidiaries engaged in varied businesses.

2 Sale of Broking Business and Going Concern Assumption

a. Sale of Broking Business

The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on May 18, 2018 approved the sale of its equity broking business (its principal operating segment) by way of Slump Sale on a going concern basis, which was approved by the members on July 02, 2018. Accordingly, the equity broking business was transferred to "Choice Equity Broking Private Limited" from the close of business hours on December 28, 2018 on Slump sale basis after necessary regulatory approvals. Consequently, all revenue and expenses relating to this business have been presented as Discontinued Operations as required by Accounting Standard 24 - Discontinuing Operations including the transactions relating to the business subsequent to the date of sale. The net profit on sale of the business is included in the profit and loss account as "Exceptional item" ( Refer Note 26 ).

b. Going Concern Assumption

Pursuant to the above, the company''s principal operating segment ceased to continue with effect from the date of sale. However, the company continues to hold investment in multiple subsidiaries carrying out different businesses. The Company is now considering various opportunities to commence new businesses apart from continuing to hold investment in various subsidiaries. Hence the Financial Statements of the Company are prepared on a going concern basis as the management is confident of commencing a profitable business in the near term and to expand the group investments.

3 Summary of Significant accounting policies

3.1 Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India and comply with the Accounting Standards (''AS'') prescribed in Section 133 of the Companies Act,2013, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014, other pronouncements of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. These financial statements are prepared and presented in Indian Rupees and rounded-off to the nearest rupee.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in the Schedule III to Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of its business , the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current - non current classification of assets and liabilities. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of previous years.

3.2 Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the year. Actual figures may differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future years.

3.3 Fixed Assets and depreciation/amortisation Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

PPE are carried at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditures relating to an asset are added to its gross book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

PPE are depreciated over their useful lives. The useful life of an asset is the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by the Company. The useful lives of PPE as specified in Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013 has been adopted except in respect of V-sat equipments where the useful life is estimated to be 10 years based on technical assessment. If the management''s estimate of the useful life of a PPE at the time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid schedule/ useful life, depreciation is provided based on the management''s estimate of the useful life/remaining useful life. In such cases, the difference is appropriately disclosed. The useful lives adopted by the Company for its assets are as follows:

Category

Depreciation in respect of leasehold improvements is provided on the straight-line method over a period of 5 years since the management is reasonably certain of renewal of lease terms.

Pro rata depreciation is provided on all fixed assets purchased/sold during the year.

Advances paid towards acquisition of fixed assets and the cost of assets not ready to be put to use before the year end are disclosed under long term loans and advances, and capital work in progress respectively.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets representing computer software are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition. Software is amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years on a straight-line basis, commencing from the date the asset is available to the Company for its use. Amortisation period and method is reviewed at each financial year end.

3.4 Impairment

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount (higher of net realizable value and value in use) of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost and such reversal is recognised in the statement of Profit & Loss account. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.

3.5 Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that economic benefits will flow and can be reliably measured. Brokerage income in relation to securities broking activity is recognised on the trade date of transaction (net of GST), upon confirmation of trade by the stock exchange.

Depository income (net of GST) pertains to income (including account opening fees) from depository services rendered by the Company and is recognised on the basis of agreement entered with clients and when the right to receive the income is established.

3.6 Interest and Dividend

Interest income is recognised on a time proportionate basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

Dividend income is recognized when the shareholders'' right to receive dividend is established by the balance sheet date.

3.7 Investments

Investments that are readily realisable and are intended by the management to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as non current investments. Cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.

Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value on an individual investment basis. In case of investments in mutual funds, the net asset value of units declared by the mutual funds is considered as the fair value.

Long-term investments are carried at cost and provisions are recorded to recognize any decline, other than temporary, in the carrying value of each investment. On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying value and net disposal proceeds is charged/ credited to Statement of Profit & Loss.

3.8 Derivatives: equity index/stock futures

Equity index/stock futures are marked-to-market on a daily basis. Debit or credit balance disclosed under loans and advances or current liabilities, respectively, in the "Mark-to-Market Margin - equity index/stock futures account", represents the net amount paid or received on the basis of movement in the prices of index/stock futures till the balance sheet date.

As on the balance sheet date, the profit or loss on open positions in index/stock futures are accounted for as follows:

Credit balance in the "Mark-to-Market Margin - equity index/stock futures account", being anticipated profit, is ignored and no credit is taken in the statement of profit and loss.

Debit balance in the "Mark-to-Market Margin - equity index/stock futures account", being anticipated loss, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

On final settlement or squaring-up of contracts for equity index/stock futures, the profit or loss is calculated as difference between settlement/squaring-up price and contract price. Accordingly, debit or credit balance pertaining to the settled/squared-up contract in "Mark-to-Market Margin - equity index/stock futures account" is recognised in the statement of profit and loss upon expiry of the contracts. When more than one contract in respect of the relevant series of equity index/stock futures contract to which the squared-up contract pertains is outstanding at the time of the squaring-up of the contract, the contract price of the contract so squared-up is determined using first in first out method for calculating profit or loss on squaring-up.

3.9 Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the relevant transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are recognized in the Statement of profit and loss of the year. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing exchange rates on that date. The resultant exchange differences are recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

3.10 Operating lease

Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item are classified as Operating lease. Operating lease payments as a lessee are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

3.11 Employee benefits

Short term employee benefit plans

All short term employee benefit plans such as salaries, wages, bonus, special awards and medical benefits which fall due within 12 months from the period in which the employee renders the related services which entitles him to avail such benefits are recognized on an undiscounted basis and charged to the statement of profit and loss.

Defined contribution plan

Contributions to the provident funds are made monthly at a predetermined rate to the regional provident fund commissioner and debited to the statement of profit and loss on an accrual basis.

Defined benefit plan

Provision is made for gratuity based on actuarial valuation, carried out by an independent actuary as at the balance sheet date, using the projected unit credit method. All actuarial gains and losses arising during the year are recognized in the statement of profit and loss of the year.

The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is a reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at the balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realized. Current tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset to the extent to which the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off and they relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

Minimum alternate tax ("MAT") paid in accordance with tax laws, which gives rise to future economic benefits in the form of adjustment of future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the company would pay normal income tax in the future years and accordingly, MAT is recognized as an asset in the balance sheet when it is probable that the future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the company and the asset can be measured reliably. MAT credit entitlement is reviewed at each balance sheet date and written down to the extent there is no convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.

3.13 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.

3.14 Cash flow

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, financing and investing activities of the Company are segregated.

3.15 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

3.16 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed after adjusting the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares, which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The diluted potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented.

3.17 Employee stock option plan

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India guidelines, the company determines the compensation cost based on Intrinsic Value method. The compensation cost, if any is amortised on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

3.18 Borrowing Cost

Interest and other costs in connection with the borrowing of the funds to the extent related/attributed to the acquisition/construction of qualifying assets are capitalised up to the date when such assets are ready for its intended use and other borrowing costs are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

During the financial year 2005-06 the Company had implemented an "Employee Stock Option Plan, 2005" which was subsequently superseded by the "Employees Stock Option Plan, 2008" in the financial year 2007-08. The options granted as per the above schemes were forfeited in earlier years and there were no exercisable options as at the beginning of the financial year 2016-17. However, pursuant to the aforesaid schemes, 67,125 equity shares of ?10 each were allotted to JRG ESOP Trust which remain with the Trust.

During the financial year 2016-17 the said Employees Stock Option Plan, 2008 has been amended to align with the new regulations, viz., the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014 and to rationalise the provisions within the ESOP framework as originally approved. The scheme post amendment has been renamed as "Inditrade Employees Stock Option Plan 2016 ("ESOP 2016")".

The ESOP 2016 plan was approved on 30 August 2016 at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and subsequently considered and actioned upon by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on 06 February 201 7 and was effective from the said date.

Based on the nature of its business , the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of current - noncurrent classification of assets and liabilities.

2.2 Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the year. Actual figures may differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in current and future years.

2.3 Fixed Assets and depreciation Plant, Property and Equipment (PPE)

PPE are carried at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditures relating to an asset are added to its gross book value only if it increases the future benefits from the insisting asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

The useful lives of PPE as specified in Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act 2013 has been adopted except in respect of V-sat equipments where the useful life is estimated to be 10 years based on technical assessment. If the management''s estimate of the useful life of a PPE at the time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid schedule/ useful life, depreciation is provided based on the management''s estimate of the useful life/remaining useful life. In such cases, the difference is appropriately disclosed. The useful lives adopted by the Company for its assets are as follows:

Depreciation in respect of leasehold improvements is provided on the straight-line method over a period of 5 years since the management is reasonably certain of renewal of lease terms.

Pro rata depreciation is provided on all fixed assets purchased/ sold during the year.

Advances paid towards acquisition of fixed assets and the cost of assets not ready to be put to use before the yearend are disclosed under long term loans and advances, and capital work in progress respectively.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets representing computer software are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition. Software is amortized over their estimated useful lives of five years on a straight-line basis, commencing from the date the asset is available to the Company for its use. Amortization period and method is reviewed at each financial year end.

2.4 Impairment

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount (higher of net realizable value and value in use) of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost such reversal is recognized in the statement of Profit & Loss account. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.

2.5 Revenue

Revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that economic benefits will flow and can be reliably measured. Brokerage income in relation to securities broking activity is recognized on the trade date of transaction (net of service tax), upon confirmation of trade by the stock exchange.

All other investments are classified as long term investments. Cost comprises purchase price and directly attributable charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.

Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value on an individual investment basis. In case of investments in mutual funds, the net asset value of units declared by the mutual funds is considered as the fair value.

Long-term investments are carried at cost and provisions are recorded to recognize any decline, other than temporary, in the carrying value of each investment. On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying value and net disposal proceeds is charged/ credited to Profit & Loss account.

2.8 Derivatives: equity index / stock - futures

Equity index / stock futures are marked-to-market on a daily basis. Debit or credit balance disclosed under loans and advances or current liabilities, respectively, in the "Mark-to-Market Margin - equity index / stock futures account”, represents the net amount paid or received on the basis of movement in the prices of index / stock futures till the balance sheet date.

As on the balance sheet date, the profit or loss on open positions in index / stock futures are accounted for as follows:

Credit balance in the "Mark-to-Market Margin - equity index / stock futures account”, being anticipated profit, is ignored and no credit is taken in the statement of profit and loss.

Debit balance in the "Mark-to-Market Margin - equity index / stock futures account”, being anticipated loss, is recognized in the statement of profit and loss.

On final settlement or squaring-up of contracts for equity index / stock futures, the profit or loss is calculated as difference between settlement/squaring-up price and contract price. Accordingly, debit or credit balance pertaining to the settled / squared-up contract in "Mark-to-Market Margin - equity index / stock futures account” is recognized in the statement of profit and loss upon expiry of the contracts. When more than one contract in respect of the relevant series of equity index / stock futures contract to which the squared-up contract pertains is outstanding at the time of the squaring-up of the contract, the contract price of the contract so squared-up is determined using first in first out method for calculating profit or loss on squaring-up.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent there is a reasonable certainty that the assets can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a virtual certainty of realization of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at the balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realized.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed after adjusting the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares, which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The diluted potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date.

GAAP comprises accounting standards notified by the Central Government of India under Section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956, other pronouncements of Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the provisions of Companies Act, 1956 and guidelines issued by Securities and Exchange Board of India.

b. Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual figures may differ from these estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.

c. Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed Assets are carried at cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on Straight Line method. The rates of depreciation prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 are considered as the minimum rates. If the management’s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the management’s estimate

In the current year, the Company has revised the useful life of Electrical fittings, office equipment, vehicle and certain furniture and fittings (excluding leasehold improvements ).This in the opinion of the management would result in a more appropriate presentation of the financial statements of the Company. As a result, the depreciation on the above assets is higher by Rs. 89.55 lakhs and the Profit/ (loss) after tax, fixed assets and reserves and surplus are lower by the same amount.

Depreciation in respect of leasehold improvements is provided on the straight-line method over a period of 5 years since the management is reasonably certain of renewal of lease terms.

Intangible assets representing computer software are recorded at the consideration paid for acquisition. Software is amortised over their estimated useful lives of five years on a straight-line basis, commencing from the date the asset is available to the Company for its use. Non-compete fee paid and capitalised is amortised on a progressively decreasing basis over the 3 years non-compete period.

Individual assets costing Rs. 5,000/- or less are depreciated at 100% in the year of purchase.

Advances paid towards acquisition of fixed assets and the cost of assets not ready to be put to use before the year end are disclosed under capital advances.

d. Impairment of Assets

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount (higher of net realisable value and value in use) of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognised in the profit and loss account. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost.

e. Revenue

Brokerage income in relation to securities broking activity is recognised on the trade date of transaction (net of service tax), upon confirmation of trade by the stock exchange.

Depository income (net of service tax) pertains to income (including account opening fees) from depository services rendered by the Company and is recognised on accrual basis.

Dividend income is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payment is established by the balance sheet date.

Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis.

f. Investments

Investments are either classified as current or long-term based on the management’s intention. Current investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value. Long-term investments are carried at cost and provisions recorded to recognise any decline, other than temporary, in the carrying value of each investment.

g. Transactions in foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions are accounted at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the relevant transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions settled during the year are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account of the year. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the Balance Sheet date are translated at the closing exchange rates on that date. The resultant exchange differences are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.

h. Operating Lease

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

i. Employee benefits

I. Short term employee benefit plans

All short term employee benefit plans such as salaries, wages, bonus, special awards and, medical benefits which fall due within 12 months of the period in which the employee renders the related services which entitles him to avail such benefits are recognised on an undiscounted basis and charged to the profit and loss account.

II. Defined Contribution Plan

Contributions to the provident funds are made monthly at a predetermined rate to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner and debited to the profit and loss account on an accrual basis.

III. Defined Benefit Plan

Provision is made for gratuity based on actuarial valuation, carried out by an independent actuary as at the balance sheet date.

j. Taxation

Income-tax expense comprise current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the period determined in accordance with the income- tax law), and deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for the period). The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is a reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at the balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably/virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised. Current tax and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset to the extent to which the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off and they relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing taxation laws.

k. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The Company creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources. Where there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made. Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the financial statements.

l. Employee Stock options plan

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India guidelines, the fair value of the options as at the date of grant of options under the Employee stock option scheme, is treated as employee compensation and amortised over the vesting period.

m. Cash flows

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit before tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from regular revenue generating, financing and investing activities of the Company are segregated.

n. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed after adjusting the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares. The number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share comprises the weighted average number of shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share, and also the weighted average number of equity shares, which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The diluted potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable, had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. the average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are deemed converted as of the beginning of the period, unless issued at a later date.
