ANNEXURE - 2 TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT OF EVEN DATE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF ALLSEC TECHNOLOGIES LIMTED

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies
Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

To the Members of Allsec Technologies Limited

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Allsec Technologies Limited (“the Company”)
as of March 31, 2016in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended
on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components
of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation
and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and
efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the
prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the
timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under theCompanies Act, 2013.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based
on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls
Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10)
of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to
an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those
Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was
established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial
controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls
over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness
of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of
the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Annual Report 54
Annexure to Auditor’s Report Allsec technologies limited

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future
periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over
financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March
31, 2016, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the
essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over
Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

1. Corporate information
Allsec Technologies Limited (‘Allsec’ or the ‘Company’) is a public Company domiciled in India and incorporated
on August 24, 1998 as a limited Company under the Companies Act, 1956 and is listed on the National
Stock Exchange of India (‘NSE’) and Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (‘BSE’). The Company is engaged in
the business of providing IT enabled services for customers located in India and outside India. The services
provided by the Company include data verification, processing of orders received through telephone calls,
telemarketing, monitoring quality of calls of other call centers, customer services, HR and payroll processing.
The Company has delivery centers at Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi.
As at the year end, the Company has three subsidiaries, Allsectech Inc., USA, Allsectech Manila Inc.,
Philippines, and Retreat Capital Management Inc., USA. Also refer note 25.

2. Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in India (Indian GAAP). The Company has prepared these financial statements to comply in all
material respects with the accounting standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013, read
together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014. The financial statements have been
prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention, except in case of assets for which
provision for impairment is made and revaluation is carried out, if applicable.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of
previous year, except for those changes as explained below.

2.1 Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to
make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses,
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although
these estimates are based on the management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.
(b) Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses,
if any. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met and directly
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.Any trade discounts
and rebates are deducted arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset is added to its book value only if it increases
the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All
other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and
cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which such
expenses are incurred.
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

(c) Depreciation on tangible fixed assets

Depreciation on fixed assets is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at based on the
useful lives estimated by the management and is in accordance with the useful lives prescribed in
Schedule II of Companies Act, 2013. The Company has used the following rates to provide depreciation
on its fixed assets.

Annual Report 60
Notes
(All amounts are in lakhs of Indian Rupees, unless otherwise stated)
Allsec technologies limited

Asset Description Useful Lives (Years)

Plant and machinery 3 - 10

Furniture and fixtures 10

Office Equipments 5

Vehicles 8

Leasehold improvements are amortised over the estimated useful lives or the remaining primary lease
period (3-4 years), whichever is less.

(d) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Subsequent to initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated
impairment losses, if any.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic life. The
Company uses a rebuttable presumption that the useful life of an intangible asset will not exceed ten
years from the date when the asset is available for use. If the persuasive evidence exists to the affect
that useful life of an intangible asset exceeds ten years, the Company amortizes the intangible asset
over the best estimate of its useful life. Such intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for
impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. All other intangible assets
are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial year
end. If the expected useful life of the asset is significantly different from previous estimates, the
amortization period is changed accordingly. If there has been a significant change in the expected
pattern of economic benefits from the asset, the amortization method is changed to reflect the changed
pattern. Such changes are accounted for in accordance with AS 5 Net Profit or Loss for the Period,
Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies.
Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the
statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.
A summary of amortization policies applied to the Company’s intangible assets is as below:
Computer software
Costs incurred towards purchase of computer software are depreciated using the straight-line method
over a period based on management’s estimate of useful lives of such software (4 years), or over
the license period of the software, whichever is shorter.
Goodwill
Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a period of five years based on management
estimates.

(e) Leases
Where the Company is the lessee:
Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits
incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease term at the
lower of the fair value of the leased property and present value of minimum lease payments. Lease
payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to
achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are
recognized as finance costs in the statement of profit and loss. Lease management fees, legal charges
and other initial direct costs of lease are capitalized.

Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of
the leased item, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an
expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
An asset under finance lease is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset.
However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain the ownership by the end
of the lease term, the capitalized asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the
estimated useful life of the asset, the lease term.
The Company has adopted 8 years as the useful life of vehicles taken on finance lease.

(f) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be
impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the
Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of
an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable
amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are
largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an
asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down
to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent
market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an
appropriate valuation model is used.
The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations which
are prepared separately for each of the Company’s cash-generating units to which the individual
assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally covering a period of five
years. For longer periods, a long term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash
flows after the fifth year.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its
remaining useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the
Company estimates the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine
the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited
so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been
recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit and
loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a
revaluation increase.

(g) Investments
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended 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 long-term investments.
On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and
directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.
Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined
on an individual investment basis. Long-term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for
diminution in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.

On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds
is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
(h) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must
also be met before revenue is recognized:
Income from services
Income from IT enabled services is derived from both time based and unit priced contracts. Revenue
is recognized as the related services are performed in accordance with the specific terms of the
contract with the customer.
Unbilled revenue represents accrual of income relating to services provided but not billed as at the
year end.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established by the reporting date.
Interest
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding
and the applicable interest rate.
(i) Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions and balances
i. Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign
currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at
the date of the transaction.
ii. Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are retranslated using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting
date.
Non-monetary items, which are measured in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign
currency, are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items,
which are measured at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency, are
translated using the exchange rate at the date when such value was determined.
iii. Exchange difference
All exchange differences arising on settlement / conversion of foreign currency transactions are
recognized as income or expenses in the period in which they arise.
iv. In respect of forward exchange contracts entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk of the
underlying monetary assets / liabilities, the exchange difference is calculated as the difference
between the foreign currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate at the
reporting date, or the settlement date where the transaction is settled during the reporting period,
and the corresponding foreign currency amount translated at the later of the date of inception of
the forward exchange contract and the last reporting date. Such exchange differences are recognized
in the statement of profit and loss account in the reporting period in which the exchange rates
change. The premium or discount on all such contracts arising at the inception of each contract
is amortized as income or expense over the life of the contract. Any profit or loss arising on the
cancellation or renewal of forward contracts is recognized as income or as expense for the period.

(j) Retirement and other employee benefits

Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The Company has
no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. The Company recognizes
contribution payable to the provident fund scheme as expenditure, when an employee renders the
related service. If the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet
date exceeds the contribution already paid the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as liability
after deducting the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution
due for service received before the balance sheet date then excess is recognized as an asset to the
extent that the prepayment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payments or cash refund.
Gratuity liability under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 is a defined benefit obligation. The costs
of providing benefits under such plans are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each
year-end. The actuarial valuation is carried out using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains
and losses for the defined benefit plan are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in the
statement of profit and loss.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-
term employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional
amount that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the
reporting date.
The Company treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as
long-term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are
provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end.
Actuarial gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred.
The Company presents the leave as a current liability in the balance sheet; to the extent it does
not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where
Company has the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond
12 months, the same is presented as non-current liability.
The Company recognizes termination benefit as a liability and an expense when the Company has
a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. If the termination benefits fall due more than 12 months after the balance
sheet date, they are measured at present value of future cash flows using the discount rate determined
by reference to market yields at the balance sheet date on government bonds.

(k) Income taxes

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Provision for current income tax is made on the
assessable income at the tax rate applicable to the relevant assessment year. Deferred income taxes
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to timing differences between the financial
statement determination of income and their recognition for tax purposes.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting
income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at
the reporting date. Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized
in equity and not in the statement of profit and loss.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized
for deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient
future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In
situations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred
tax assets are recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they
can be realized against future taxable profits.

Notes
(All amounts are in lakhs of Indian Rupees, unless otherwise stated)
Allsec technologies limited

At each reporting date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes
unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain,
as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred
tax assets can be realized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The Company
writes-down the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably
certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that
it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available.

Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current
tax. The company recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is
convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e.,
the period for which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the company
recognizes MAT credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit
Available in respect of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is
created by way of credit to the statement of profit and loss and shown as “MAT Credit Entitlement.”
The company reviews the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the
asset to the extent the company does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during
the specified period.

(l) Employee stock compensation cost

Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is done in accordance with
SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999
and the Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India. The Company measures compensation cost relating to employee
stock options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting
period of the option on a straight line basis.

(m) Segment reporting

Identification of segments
The Company’s operations predominantly relate to IT enabled services and accordingly this is the only
primary reportable segment. The Company has considered geographical segment as the secondary
segment, based on the location of the customers invoiced.
Segment accounting policies
The Company prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for
preparing and presenting the financial statements of the Company as a whole.

(n) Earnings per share

The earnings considered in ascertaining the Company’s earnings per share comprise the net profit
or loss after tax attributable to equity share holders. The number of shares used in computing basic
earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
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 shares, if any, which would have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential
equity shares.

(o) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event, it
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not
discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle
the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted
to reflect the current best estimates.

(p) Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be
confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the
control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises
in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be
measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence
in the financial statements.

(q) Cash and cash equivalents

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

(r) Derivative instruments

In accordance with the ICAI announcement, derivative contracts, other than foreign currency forward
contracts covered under AS 11, are marked to market on a portfolio basis, and the net loss, if any,
after considering the offsetting effect of gain on the underlying hedged item, is charged to the statement
of profit and loss. Net gain, if any, after considering the offsetting effect of loss on the underlying
hedged item, is ignored.

(s) Measurement of EBITDA

As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956, the
Company has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
as a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss. In its measurement, the
Company does not include depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, finance costs
and tax expense.

24. The Company has not recognised deferred tax assets arising primarily on account of carried forward tax
losses and unabsorbed depreciation, as subsequent realization of such amounts is not virtually certain.

25. Diminution in the value of investments and other receivables from subsidiaries
The Company has investments in and loans to subsidiaries, Allsectech Inc U.S.A., and Allsectech Manila
Inc., Philippines, aggregating to Rs. 4522 Lakhs, which are considered long-term in nature and receivable,
balance (net) of Rs. 258 Lakhs as at March 31, 2016. Till March 2015, those subsidiaries carried accumulated
losses of the value of Rs. 2,917 Lakhs. The subsidiaries have made profits of Rs. 1052 Lakhs during the
current year due to the significant steps taken by the management to improve their profitability, including
entering into new service contracts with customers, rationalization of headcount, and arrangements to sub-
lease excess capacities. Based on business plans, contracts on hand and their assessment of the revenue
potential from new contracts and the other restructuring activities described above, the management is
confident that the subsidiaries will continue to remain profitable, and thereby recoup all past losses over the
medium term. Accordingly, no adjustments have been made to the carrying value of long-term investments,
for any diminution other than temporary in their carrying values.

26. Gratuity benefit plans

The Company has a defined benefit gratuity plan. Every employee who has completed five years or more
of service gets a gratuity on departure at 15 days salary (last drawn salary) for each completed year of
service subject to a maximum of Rupees 10 lakhs. The scheme is funded with an insurance Company in
the form of a qualifying insurance policy.
The following tables summarizes the components of net benefit/ expense recognised in the statement of
profit and loss account and the funded status and amounts recognised in the balance sheet for gratuity:

29. Segment information

The Company’s operations predominantly relate to IT enabled services and accordingly this is the only primary
reportable segment. The Company has considered geographical segment as the secondary segment, based
on the location of the customers invoiced.

Fixed assets used in the Company’s business have not been identified to any of the reportable segments, as
the fixed assets and services are used interchangeably between segments. The Company believes that it is
currently not practicable to provide segment disclosures relating to assets, liabilities and capital expenditure
since a meaningful segregation of the available data is onerous.

Allsectech, ATM, and Retreat shall hereinafter, be collectively referred to as “the Subsidiaries”. Allsec, along
with Subsidiaries, shall hereinafter, be collectively referred to as “the Group”.

2. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in India (Indian GAAP). The Group has prepared these financial statements to comply
in all material respects with the accounting standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act 2013,
read together with paragraph 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014. The financial statement have been
prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention, except in case of assets for which
provision for impairment is made and revaluation is carried out, if applicable.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of financial statements are consistent with those of
previous year, except for those changes as explained below.

2.1 Summary of significant accounting policies

Change in accounting policy
Classification of foreign operations for the purpose of consolidation:

i. During the year, as at March 31, 2016, there is a change in classification of one of the subsidiaries,
Allsectech Inc., USA, from integral to non- integral for the purpose of consolidation due to the change
in the nature of operations. Had the change in classification not been done, shareholders’ funds would
have been higher by INR 15 for the year ended March 31, 2016. Had the change in classification been
done with effect from April 01, 2014, the consolidated loss before tax would have been lower by INR
32 for the year ended March 31, 2015.
(a) Preparation of consolidation
ii. The Consolidated Financial Statements (‘CFS’) of the Group have been prepared based on a line-by-line
consolidation of the balance sheet as at March 31, 2016 and statement of profit and loss and cash
flows of the Group for the year ended March 31, 2016.
iii. The financial statements of the Subsidiaries considered for the purpose of consolidation are drawn for
the same reporting period as that of the Company i.e. year ended March 31, 2016.

Annual Report 94
Consolidated Notes
(All amounts are in lakhs of Indian Rupees, unless otherwise stated)
Allsec technologies limited

iv. The CFS have been prepared using uniform accounting policies, except as stated otherwise, for similar
transactions and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as the Company’s separate
financial statements.

v. All material inter-company transactions and balances between the entities included in the CFS have
been eliminated on consolidation.

vi. Any excess / shortage of cost to the Company of its investment in the subsidiaries over its proportionate
share in the equity of such subsidiaries as at the date of the investment are recognized as goodwill /
capital reserve in the CFS.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the management to
make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses,
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Although
these estimates are based on the management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, uncertainty
about these assumptions and estimates could result in the outcomes requiring a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future periods.

(c) Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses,
if any. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met and directly
attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use.
Subsequent expenditure related to an item of fixed asset is added to its book value only if it increases
the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All
other expenses on existing fixed assets, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and
cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the period during which such
expenses are incurred.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of fixed assets are measured as the difference between the
net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of
profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

(d) Depreciation on tangible fixed assets

Depreciation on fixed assets of the Company is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived
at based on the useful lives estimated by the managementof the Company and is in accordance with
the useful lives prescribed in Schedule II of Companies Act, 2013, which are as follows.

Asset Description Useful Lives (Years)

Plant and machinery 3 - 10

Furniture and fixtures 10

Office Equipments 5

Vehicles 8

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated useful lives or the remaining primary lease
period (3 - 4 years), whichever is less.
The assets of Allsectech aggregating to Rs. 229(1.83% of the total group assets)are depreciated using
straight line method over its estimated useful life of three years for computers and accessories and five
years for networking equipments and furniture and fixtures.

Annual Report 95
Consolidated Notes
(All amounts are in lakhs of Indian Rupees, unless otherwise stated)
Allsec technologies limited

The assets of ATM aggregating to Rs. 1820(14.56% of the total group assets) are depreciated using
the straight line method over its estimated useful life as follows:

Asset Description Useful Life

Computer and accessories 3 years

Furniture and fixtures 5 years
Vehicles 5 years
Leasehold improvements* 5 years
Office equipments 5 years

*Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the primary term of the lease.
The assets of Retreat aggregating to Rs. 1,398 (11.18% of the group assets) are depreciated using the
straight line method over its estimated useful life as follows:

Asset Description Useful Life

Computer and accessories 3 years

Furniture and fixtures 5 years
Vehicles 5 years
Leasehold improvements** 5 years
Office equipments 5 years

**Leasehold improvements are amortized over the primary term of lease.

No adjustments have been recognized for the difference arising on account of differing estimates of useful
life for similar group of assets in the consolidated entities, since Management believes that such differing
estimates are appropriate having regard to the pattern of usage of such assets in each of the entities.

(e) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated
impairment losses, if any.
Computer software
Costs incurred towards purchase of computer software are depreciated using the straight-line method
over a period based on management’s estimate of useful lives of such software of 4 years, or over the
license period of the software, whichever is shorter.
Goodwill

Goodwill on consolidation and acquisition are amortized using the straight-line method over a period
of five years based on management estimates. Goodwill on acquisitions after April 1, 2010 has been
tested for impairment and are not amortized

(f) Leases
Finance leases, which effectively transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental
to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease term at the lower of the
fair value of the leased property and present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are
apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized as finance
costs in the statement of profit and loss. Lease management fees, legal charges and other initial direct
costs of lease are capitalized.

Annual Report 96
Consolidated Notes
(All amounts are in lakhs of Indian Rupees, unless otherwise stated)
Allsec technologies limited

Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the
leased item,, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense
in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
A leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset. However, if there
is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain the ownership by the end of the lease term, the
capitalized asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of
the asset, the lease term.
The Company has adopted 8 years as the useful life of vehicles taken on finance lease.

(g) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If any indication exists or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates
the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-
generating unit’s (CGU) net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined
for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of
those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds
its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into
account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used.
The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations which are
prepared separately for each of the Group’s cash-generating units to which the individual assets are
allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations are generally covering a period of five years.
After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining
useful life.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously
recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the
Company estimates the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized
impairment loss is increased or reversed depending on changes in circumstances. However, the carrying
value after reversal is not increased beyond the carrying value that would have prevailed by charging
usual depreciation if there was no impairment.
The carrying amount of goodwill arising on consolidation is reviewed for impairment in accordance with
the requirements of Accounting Standard 28 “Impairment of Assets” and impairment loss is recognized
wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

(h) Investments
Investments, which are readily realizable and intended 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 long-term investments.

On initial recognition, all investments are measured at cost. The cost comprises purchase price and
directly attributable acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.

Current investments are carried in the financial statements at lower of cost and fair value determined
on an individual investment basis.

On disposal of an investment, the difference between its carrying amount and net disposal proceeds
is charged or credited to the statement of profit and loss.

(i) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group
and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met
before the revenue is recognized.
Income from IT Enabled services
Income from IT enabled services is derived from both time based and unit priced contracts. Revenue is
recognized as the related services are performed in accordance with the specific terms of the contract
with the customer.
Income from Mortgage and other Services
Retreat’s services consist of the business of providing assistance in respect of mortgage processing and
bankruptcy to lenders and financial institutions., anti-money laundering review services to a correspondent
bank. Revenue is recognised as services are performed in accordance with the specific terms of the
contract with the customer.
Unbilled revenue represents accrual of income relating to services provided but not billed as at the
year end.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established by the balance sheet date.
Interest
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding
and the rate applicable.

(j) Foreign currency translation

Foreign currency transactions and balances
i. Initial recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency
amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the
transaction.
ii. Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are retranslated using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting
date. Non-monetary items, which are measured in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign
currency, are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items, which
are measured at fair value or other similar valuation denominated in a foreign currency, are translated
using the exchange rate at the date when such value was determined.

iii. Exchange difference

Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net
investment in a non-integral foreign operation is accumulated in a foreign currency translation reserve
in the financial statements until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are recognised
as income or as expenses.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items not covered above, or on reporting
such monetary items of Group at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during
the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognized as income or as expenses in the
year in which they arise.

(iv) Forward exchange contracts

In relation to the forward contracts entered into to hedge the foreign currency risk of the underlying

Annual Report 98
Consolidated Notes
(All amounts are in lakhs of Indian Rupees, unless otherwise stated)
Allsec technologies limited

monetary assets / liabilities, the exchange difference is calculated as the difference between the foreign
currency amount of the contract translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date, or the settlement
date where the transaction is settled during the reporting period, and the corresponding foreign currency
amount translated at the later of the date of inception of the forward exchange contract and the last
reporting date. Such exchange differences are recognised in the profit and loss account in the reporting
period in which the exchange rates change. The premium or discount on all such contracts arising
at the inception of each contract is amortized as income or expense over the life of the contract. Any
profit or loss arising on the cancellation or renewal of forward contracts is recognized as income or as
expense for the period.
Translation of integral and non-integral foreign operation
The financial statements of an integral foreign operation are translated as if the transactions of the foreign
operation have been those of the Group itself. The resulting difference on account of translations is
recorded in the statement of profit and loss.
In translating the financial statements of a non-integral foreign operation for incorporation in financial
statements, the assets and liabilities, both monetary and non-monetary, of the non-integral foreign operation
are translated at the closing rate; income and expense items of the non-integral foreign operation are
translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and all resulting exchange differences are
accumulated in a foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal of the net investment.
On the disposal of a non-integral foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences
which have been deferred and which relate to that operation are recognised as income or as expenses
in the same period in which the gain or loss on disposal is recognised.

(k) Retirement and other employee benefits

Retirement benefit in the form of provident fund is a defined contribution scheme. The contributions to
the provident fund are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year when the contributions
are due. The Company has no obligation, other than the contribution payable to the provident fund. If
the contribution payable to the scheme for service received before the balance sheet date exceeds the
contribution already paid, the deficit payable to the scheme is recognized as liability after deducting
the contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for service
received before the balance sheet date, then excess is recognized as an asset to the extent that the
prepayment will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payments or cash refund.
Gratuity liability under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 is a defined benefit obligation. The costs of
providing benefits under such plans are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation at each year-end.
The actuarial valuation is carried out using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial gains and losses
for the defined benefit plans are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in the statement
of profit and loss.
Accumulated leave, which is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months, is treated as short-term
employee benefit. The Company measures the expected cost of such absences as the additional amount
that it expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date.
The Group treats accumulated leave expected to be carried forward beyond twelve months, as long-
term employee benefit for measurement purposes. Such long-term compensated absences are provided
for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method at the year-end. Actuarial
gains/losses are immediately taken to the statement of profit and loss and are not deferred. The
Company presents the leave as a current liability in the Balance Sheet to the extent it does not have
an unconditional right to defer its settlement for 12 months after the reporting date. Where Group has
the unconditional legal and contractual right to defer the settlement for a period beyond 12 months, the
same is presented as non-current liability.
The Group recognizes termination as a liability and an expense when the Group has a present obligation

Annual Report 99
Consolidated Notes
(All amounts are in lakhs of Indian Rupees, unless otherwise stated)
Allsec technologies limited

as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If
the termination benefits fall due more than 12 months after the Balance Sheet date, they are measured
at present value of future cash flows using the discount rate determined by reference to market yields
on government bonds at the Balance sheet date.

(l) Income taxes

Tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Provision for current income tax is made on
the assessable income at the tax rate applicable to the relevant assessment year. Deferred income taxes
are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to timing differences between the financial
statement determination of income and their recognition for tax purposes.
Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of timing differences between taxable income and accounting
income originating during the current year and reversal of timing differences for the earlier years. Deferred
tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting
date. Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not
in the statement of profit and loss.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized
for deductible timing differences only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized. In situations
where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are
recognized only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realized
against future taxable profits.
At each reporting date, the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It recognizes
unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain,
as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred
tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The Company writes-
down the carrying amount of deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain
or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against
which deferred tax asset can be realized. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes
reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be
available.
Minimum alternate tax (MAT) paid in a year is charged to the statement of profit and loss as current tax.
The Company recognizes MAT credit available as an asset only to the extent that there is convincing
evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period, i.e., the period for
which MAT credit is allowed to be carried forward. In the year in which the Company recognizes MAT
credit as an asset in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Credit Available in respect
of Minimum Alternative Tax under the Income-tax Act, 1961, the said asset is created by way of credit
to the statement of profit and loss and shown as “MAT Credit Entitlement.” The Company reviews
the “MAT credit entitlement” asset at each reporting date and writes down the asset to the extent the
Company does not have convincing evidence that it will pay normal tax during the specified period.

(m) Employee stock compensation cost

Measurement and disclosure of the employee share-based payment plans is done in accordance with
SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and
the Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share-based Payments, issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India. The Group measures compensation cost relating to employee stock
options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period
of the option on a straight line basis.

(n) Segment reporting

Identification of segments
The Group’s operations predominantly relate to IT enabled services to customers in and outside India,
mortgage services to customers outside India and accordingly these have been considered as primary
reportable segment. The Group has considered geographical segment as the secondary segment, based
on the location of the customers.
Segment accounting policies
The Group prepares its segment information in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for
preparing and presenting the financial statements of the Group as a whole.

(o) Earnings per share

The earnings considered in ascertaining the Group’s earnings per share comprise the net profit or loss
after tax attributable to equity share holders. The number of shares used in computing basic earnings
per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
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 shares, if any, which would have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.

(p) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and
a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their
present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimates.

(q) Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be
confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control
of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare
cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The
Group does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

(r) Cash and cash equivalents

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

(s) Derivative instruments

In accordance with the ICAI announcement, derivative contracts, other than foreign currency forward
contracts covered under AS 11, are marked to market on a portfolio basis, and the net loss, if any, after
considering the offsetting effect of gain on the underlying hedged item, is charged to the statement of
profit and loss. Net gain, if any, after considering the offsetting effect of loss on the underlying hedged
item, is ignored.

(t) Measurement of EBITDA

As permitted by the Guidance Note on the Revised Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956, the
Group has elected to present earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as
a separate line item on the face of the statement of profit and loss. In its measurement, the Group
does not include depreciation and amortization expense, finance costs and tax expense.
