SECTION II – RISK FACTORS
Investment in the Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all of the
information in this Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below and the Financial
Statements incorporated in this Prospectus, before making an investment in the Equity Shares of our Company.
Any potential investor in, and subscribers of, the Equity Shares should also pay particular attention to the fact
that we are governed in India by a legal and regulatory environment which in some material respects may be
different from that which prevails in other countries. In making an investment decision, prospective investors must
rely on their own examination of our Company and the terms of the Issue, including the risks involved. If any or
some combination of the following risks occur or if any of the risks that are currently not known or deemed to be
not relevant or material now, actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations
could suffer, the trading price of the Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
For further details, please refer to chapters titled “Business Overview” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on pages 69 and 124, respectively of this
Prospectus, as well as the other financial and statistical information contained in this Prospectus. If our business,
results of operations or financial condition suffers, the price of the Equity Shares and the value of your
investments therein could decline.
The Risk factors have been determined on the basis of their materiality. The following factors have been
considered for determining the materiality therein:
1. Some risks may not be material at present but may have a material impact in the near future.
2. Some risks may not be material individually but may be found material when considered collectively
3. Some risks may have material impact qualitatively and not quantitatively and vice-versa
We have described the risks and uncertainties that our management believes are material, but these risks and
uncertainties may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those we are not
aware of, or deem immaterial or irrelevant, may also result in decreased revenues, increased expenses or other
events that could result in a decline in the value of the Equity Shares and may also have an adverse effect on our
business. Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are not in a position to quantify the
financial or other implication of any of the risks described in this section. You should not invest in this Issue
unless you are prepared to accept the risk of losing all or part of your investment, and you should consult your
tax, financial and legal advisors about the particular consequences to you of an investment in the Equity Shares.
This Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including the considerations described below and elsewhere in this Prospectus. For further details, please refer to
chapter titled “Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 12 of this Prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information included herein are based on our Financial Statements.
Please refer to the section titled “Restated Financial Statements” beginning on page 102 of this Prospectus.
Our Registered Office is located at 411, Safal Prelude, B/h Ashwaraj Bunglow, 100 Ft Road, Prahladnagar,
Vejalpur, Ahmedabad, Gujarat- 380015, Gujarat. The registered office is not owned by our Company. Our
company has taken premises on rental basis and has entered into rent agreement with Payal Patel, relative of our
Director Bhumishth Patel. The premises have been taken by us on lease for a period of 59 Months & 28 Days
from December 01, 2022.
There can be no assurance that the term of the agreements will be renewed and in the event the lessor/licensor
terminates or does not renew the agreements on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, and we may require to
vacate the registered office and identify alternative premises and enter into fresh lease or leave and license
agreement. Such a situation could result in loss of business, time overruns and may adversely affect our operations
and profitability.
2. We have to update the name of our company in some of the statutory approvals and certificates due to the
conversion of our Company in to Public Limited Company.
19
Some of our statutory approvals and certificates are in the name of Patron Exim Private Limited. Since our
company is converted into a public limited company pursuant to shareholder’s resolution dated October 10, 2022
and fresh certificate of incorporation dated December 02, 2022, we have to update the name Patron Exim Limited
on the statutory approvals and certificates. We cannot ensure that we will be able to update the said documents in
a timely manner.
3. Our Company Management is not efficient in recovery from the clients to whom the goods have been sold.
The outstanding debtors of the company are too high in each and every year. The company is not able to
effectively recover the dues from the customers. On account of that major portion of the working capital fund is
blocked in trade receivables. If the Company is not able to recover the funds from the client and the same is turned
in to bad debts then the financial position of the company will be adversely affected. For further details and details
of Trade receivables please refer the section titled “Restated Financial Information” at page 102 of this
Prospectus.
4. One of our Group Company was struck off and has been restored by Registrar of Companies and had paid
penalty for restoration and filing the annual returns.

vide public notice No. ROC/AHMD/248(5)/STK-7/998 dated 21.06.2017 issued by ROC for the reason of non-

(includingBhumishth Patel being one of the Director of our Company) got disqualified u/s. 164(2) of the

clients, significant reduction in the demand for our services from such clients or deterioration in their
financial condition may adversely affect our business, financial condition, result of operations and cash
flows.
We derive and may continue to derive a significant portion of our revenue from a relatively limited number of
clients. Significant dependence on certain clients may increase the potential volatility of our results of operations,
if we are unable to expand the volumes of our business with our existing clients, maintain our relationship with
our key clients or diversify our client base. Further, any significant reduction in demand for our products from our
key clients, any requirement to lower the price offered by these clients, or any loss or financial difficulties caused
to these clients, or bad debts of the dues from these clients, or change in relationship with the clients could have a
material adverse effect on our business, result of operations, financial conditions and cash flow.
We cannot assure that we shall generate the same quantum of business, or any business at all, and the loss of
business from one or more of them may adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. However, the
composition and revenue generated from these customers might change as we strive to add new customers in the
normal course of business. While we are constantly striving to increase our customer base and reduce dependence

periods, or that our business or results of operations will not be adversely affected by a reduction in demand or

are no long-term supply agreements for the trading (raw) material. In absence of any such formal contract with our
vendors/suppliers, we are exposed to the risks of irregular supplies or no supplies at all or delayed supplies or
price variation which would materially affect our results of operations.
In the event of any disruption in the raw material supply or the non-availability of raw material in the required
quantity and of required quality from alternate source, the supply schedule to our clients may be adversely
affected impacting the sales and profitability of the Company.

our promoters and/or directors are interested directly or indirectly. Further we have not executed any Non-
Compete Agreement with our Group Entity/Company undertaking not to engage in businesses similar to that of

As a result, conflicts of interests may arise in allocating business opportunities amongst our Company, our other
Promoter Group Entities/Company in circumstances where our respective interests diverge. In cases of conflict,
our Promoters may favour our Group Entities/Company in which our Promoters have interests. There can be no
assurance that our Promoters/Promoter Group will not compete with our existing business or any future business
that we may undertake or that their interests will not conflict with ours. Any such present and future conflicts
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For further

various reasons including occurrence of accidents or natural disasters. There may also be delay in delivery of
trading materials which may also affect our business and our results of operation negatively. A failure to
maintain a continuous supply of trading materials to us as well as to our clients in an efficient and reliable
manner could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The success of our business depends substantially on our ability to implement our business strategies effectively.
Even though we have successfully executed our business strategies in the past, there is no guarantee that we can
implement the same on time and within the estimated budget going forward, or that we will be able to meet the

liquidity.
The results of operations of our business are dependent on our ability to effectively manage our inventory and
stocks. To effectively manage our inventory, we must be able to accurately estimate customer demand and supply
requirement accordingly. If our management has misjudged expected customer demand it could adversely impact

our Company after the Issue, which will allow them to determine the outcome of matters submitted to
shareholders for approval.

result, our Promoter, together with the members of the Promoter Group, will continue to exercise a significant
degree of influence over Company and will be able to control the outcome of any proposal that can be approved
by a majority shareholder vote, including, the election of members to our Board, in accordance with the
Companies Act, 2013 and our Articles of Association. Such a concentration of ownership may also have the effect
of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our Company.

conflict with, our interests or the interests of some or all of our creditors or other shareholders, and we cannot
assure you that such actions will not have an adverse effect on our future financial performance or the price of our

margin.
Due to pandemic situation there is sizable growth in Indian pharmaceutical industry and increased competition for
skilled employees in India over the last two years, wages of skilled employees are increasing at a fast rate.
Accordingly, we may need to increase our levels of employee compensation rapidly to remain competitive in
attracting the quality of employees that our business requires. Salary increases may reduce our profit margins and
have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations.
36. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute the shareholding of the Investor or any sale of Equity
Shares by our Promoters or other significant shareholder(s) may adversely affect the trading price of the
Equity Shares.
26

future issuance of our Equity Shares or sales of our Equity Shares by any of our significant shareholders may

a timely manner or at all.

to the Issue will not be granted until after the Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval for listing and
trading will require all relevant documents authorizing the issuing of Equity Shares to be submitted. There could
be a failure or delay in listing the Equity Shares on the BSE SME. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval
would restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
38. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and, after the Issue, the Equity Shares may experience
price and volume fluctuations, and an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop.
Further, the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell the Equity Shares
at or above the Issue Price, or at all.
Prior to the Issue, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Stock
Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Issue. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a market
for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. The Issue

our Company, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India, volatility

variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other
regulatory factors .
39. There are restrictions on daily weekly monthly movement in the price of the equity shares, which may
adversely affect the shareholder’s ability to sell for the price at which it can sell, equity shares at a
particular point in time.
Once listed, we would be subject to circuit breakers imposed by the stock exchange, which does not allow
transactions beyond specified increases or decreases in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates
independently of the index- based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI. The percentage limit
on circuit breakers is said by the stock exchange based on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume
of the Equity Shares. The stock exchange does not inform us of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker in effect
from time to time, and may change it without our knowledge. This circuit breaker limits the upward and
downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares. As a result of the circuit breaker, no assurance may be
given regarding your ability to sell your Equity Shares or the price at which you may be able to sell your Equity
Shares at any particular time.
40. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under the Income-tax Act, 1961, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in an Indian Company are
generally taxable in India except any gain realized on the sale of shares on a Stock Exchange held for more than
12 months will not be subject to capital gains tax in India if the Securities Transaction Tax (“STT”) has been paid
on the transaction. The STT will be levied on and collected by an Indian Stock Exchange on which equity shares
are sold. Any gain realized on the sale of shares held for more than 12 months to an Indian resident, which are
sold other than on a recognized Stock Exchange and as a result of which no STT has been paid, will be subject to
27
long term capital gains tax in India. Further, any gain realized on the sale of shares on a Stock Exchange held for a
period of 12 months or less will be subject to short term capital gains tax. Further, any gain realized on the sale of
listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less which are sold other than on a recognized stock
exchange and on which no STT has been paid, will be subject to short term capital gains tax at a relatively higher
rate as compared to the transaction where STT has been paid in India.
After this Issue, the price of the Equity Shares may be highly volatile, or an active trading market for the
Equity Shares may not develop.
The price of the Equity Shares on the stock exchange may fluctuate as a result of the factors, including:
Current valuations may not be sustainable in the future and may also not be reflective of future valuations for
our industry and our Company. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Equity Shares
will develop or be sustained after this Issue or that the price at which the Equity Shares are initially traded
will correspond to the price at which the Equity Shares will trade in the market subsequent to this Issue.
1. Global economic, political and social conditions may harm our ability to do business, increase our costs
and negatively affect our stock price.
Global economic and political factors that are beyond our control, influence forecasts and directly affect
performance. These factors include interest rates, rates of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies of
governments, change in regulatory framework, inflation, deflation, foreign exchange fluctuations, consumer
credit availability, consumer debt levels, unemployment trends, terrorist threats and activities, worldwide
military and domestic disturbances and conflicts, and other matters that influence consumer confidence,
spending and tourism.

Our Company is subject to various regulations and policies. For details see section titled “Key Industry
Regulations and Policies” beginning on page 75 of this Prospectus. Our business and prospects could be

new laws, policies or regulations or changes in the interpretation or application of existing laws, policies and
regulations. There can be no assurance that our Company will succeed in obtaining all requisite regulatory
approvals in the future for our operations or that compliance issues will not be raised in respect of our
operations, either of which could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

adverse affects on our operations and financial performance

and liquidity of our equity shares may be affected by changes in Indian Government policy or taxation or
social, ethnic, political, economic or other adverse developments in or affecting India.
4. Our 100% Revenue is derived from business in India and a decrease in economic growth in India could
materially affect and cause our business to suffer.
We derive 100% of our revenue from our operations in India and, consequently, our performance and the
quality and growth of our business are dependent on the health of the economy of India. However, the Indian
28
economy may be adversely affected by factors such as adverse changes in liberalization policies, social
disturbances, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, natural calamities or interest rates changes,
which may also affect the microfinance industry. Any such factor may contribute to a decrease in economic
growth in India which could adversely impact our business and financial performance.
5. The price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, or an active trading market for our Equity Shares may not
develop.
Prior to this Issue, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares. Our Company and the Lead
Manager have appointed Beeline Broking Limited as Designated Market maker for the equity shares of our
Company. However, the trading price of our Equity Shares may fluctuate after this Issue due to a variety of
factors, including our results of operations and the performance of our business, competitive conditions,

Regulations, and its amendments from time to time and the circulars issued by the BSE and SEBI regarding this

Net Proceeds
The details of the proceeds of the issue are summarized in the table below:
The fund requirements mentioned above are based on internal management estimates of our Company and have
not been verified by the lead manager or appraised by any bank or financial institution or any other external

environment and interest rate fluctuations. Consequently, the fund requirements of our Company are subject to
revisions in the future at the discretion of the management. In addition, the estimated dates of completion of
various plans as described herein are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to change due
to various factors, some of which may not be in our control.
In the event of shortfall of funds for the activities proposed to be financed out of the Net Proceeds as stated
above, our Company may re-allocate the Net Proceeds to the activities where such shortfall has arisen, subject to
compliance with applicable laws. Further, in case of shortfall in the Net Proceeds or cost overruns, our

Medical Device industry is a sunrise sector and has the potential of growing highest among all the sectors in the
healthcare system. Various categories of devices starting from consumables to implantable medical devices are
being manufactured in India. Major manufacturing of medical devices in the country is happening with respect
to disposables such as catheters, perfusion sets, extension lines, cannula, feeding tubes, needles, syringes, and
implants such as cardiac stents, drug-eluting stents, intra-ocular lenses and orthopedic implants.
The Medical Device industry is highly capital intensive with a long gestation period and requires
development/induction of new technologies. The sector also requires continuous training of healthcare system
providers to adapt to new technologies. Most of the high technology and innovative products originate from a
well-developed ecosystem and innovation cycle, which is yet to be fully developed in India. India depends on
imports to an extent of 85% of its domestic requirements of medical devices.
India is one of the fastest growing markets in the global medical devices industry and is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 15 per cent. Indian medical devices market stood at USD 11 billion in 2020. Indian Medical Device
industry is expected to reach USD 50 Bn by 2030. India is the 4th largest Asian medical devices market after

F. Indian pharma exports witnessed a growth of 103% since 2013-14, from INR 90, 415 Crores in 2013-
14 to INR 1,83,422 Crores in 2021-22. Exports achieved in 2021-22 is the Pharma Sector’s best export
performance ever. It is a remarkable growth with exports growing by almost $10 bn in 8 years.
Growth Drivers:
G. Government Support
Government incentives including an outlay of INR 21940 for PLI 1.0 and PLI 2.0
H. Medical tourism
Quality services at marginal costs compared to US, Europe, and South Asia
I. Infrastructure development
India has the highest number of US-FDA compliant plants outside the US
PLI Scheme for Key Starting Materials (KSMs)/Drug Intermediates (DIs) and Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients (APIs) (PLI 1.0) 2. Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Pharmaceuticals d (PLI 2.0).
Recognizing the potential for growth, the Government of India took up the initiative of developing the Indian
Pharmaceuticals sector by creating a separate Department in July 2008. The Department is entrusted with the
responsibility of policy, pIanning, development and regulation of Pharmaceutical Industries. An assessment of
the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry's strength reveals the following key features:
a) Strong export market- India exported drugs worth US$ 15 billion to more than 200 countries
including highly regulated markets in the US, Europe, Japan and Australia. Large Indian pharma
66
companies have emerged as among the most competitive in the evolving generic space in North
America and have created an unmatched platform in this space. Indian companies are also making their
presence felt in the emerging markets around the world, particularly with a strong portfolio in anti-
infective and antiretroviral.
b) Large domestic pharma companies have continued to grow, assuming leadership position in many
therapies and segments in the Indian market as well as creating a strong international exports back-
bone.
c) Competitive market with the emergence of a number of second-tier Indian companies with new and
innovative business modules.
d) Indian players have also developed expertise in significant biologics capabilities.
e) Biologic portfolios while still nascent in India are being built with an eye on the future.
f) Multinational companies have continued to invest significantly in India and are making their presence
felt across most segments of the Indian pharma market. Companies have also begun to invest in
increasing their presence in tier II cities and rural areas and making medical care more accessible to a
large section of the Indian population.
g) Low cost of production.
h) Low R&D costs.
i) Innovative Scientific manpower.
j) Excellent and world-class national laboratories specializing in process development and development
of cost-effective technologies.
k) Increasing balance of trade in Pharma sector.
l) An efficient and cost effective source for procuring generic drugs, especially the drugs going off patent
in the next few years.
m) An excellent center for clinical trials in view of the diversity in population.
India is the only country with largest number of US-FDA compliant plants (more than 262 including APIs)
outside of USA. We have nearly 1400 WHO-GMP approved Pharma Plants, 253 European Directorate of
Quality Medicines (EDQM) approved plants with modern state of the art Technology. No other country can
boast of such an infrastructure.
Thus Indian pharma companies have a wide variety of experience in manufacturing as per global standards.
Through intensive competition in the Indian market, Indian companies are experienced in the manufacturing of
a variety of formulations that makes them efficient and competitive in their operations.
The Indian pharma market is mature with decades of experience in generics manufacturing, catering to the needs
of the general population. These companies have the experience and know-how to produce quality drugs in an
efficient, high-quality and cost-effective manner without compromising on any aspect. There are many
companies manufacturing drugs for oncology, AIDS and other complex therapies.
India is capable of manufacturing low-cost generic alternatives due to a number of economic factors favoring
the industry. Some of these include the competitive land rates, the cheap labor available, low resource costs like
water, electricity etc., lower cost of production machinery. Importantly, the various drugs like, Intermediates,
APIs and Formulation companies are seamlessly integrated while following international regulations of safety.
The Government has taken several policy initiatives for strengthening Research & Development in
Pharmaceuticals sector such as fiscal incentives to R&D units sector and streamlining of procedures concerning
development of new drug molecules, clinical research and new drug delivery systems leading to new R&D set-
ups with excellent infrastructure in the field of original drug discovery.
India has a large branded generics market which enables most companies to launch their version of a generic
drug in the market place. Research and Development is an important aspect for development of generics that
match the quality and cost targets.
India is now increasingly recognized as a strategic partner in the drug discovery value chain. Further, there are
Indian companies which are investing in their R&D centers and are offering early stage discovery services as
67
well as promising molecules. A large scientific pool in India is dedicated to Research and Development of
patent non-infringing methodologies for drugs.
India's rich human capital is the strongest asset for the Indian Pharmaceuticals Industry which is a knowledge-
led industry. Various studies show that the scientific talent pool of Indians is the second largest English-
speaking group worldwide, after the US. This enables easier access to qualifications that handle the basic work
in a plant or an R&D set-up in India. National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) at

statutory offence in the matter of dishonour of cheques on the ground of insufficiency of funds in the account

under the provisions of Companies Act 2013 vide Certificate of Incorporation dated September 06, 2022
issued by the Registrar of Companies, Ahmedabad, Gujarat bearing Corporate Identity Number
U51909GJ2022PTC134939. The name of the Company was subsequently changed to PATRON EXIM
LIMITED pursuant to special resolution passed by the Shareholders at its Extra Ordinary General Meeting
held on October 10, 2022 and a fresh certificate of incorporation consequent upon conversion from Private
Company to Public Company was issued by the Registrar of Companies, Ahmedabad, Gujarat dated
December 2nd, 2022 bearing Corporate Identity Number U24100GJ2022PLC134939.
The Restated Summary Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Company as on November 30, 2022, March
31, 2022, March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020,and the Restated Summary Statement of Profit and Loss and
the Restated Summary Statement of Cash flow Statement and the annexure thereto (collectively, the “Restated
Financial Statements” or “Restated Summary Statements”) have been extracted by the management from the
Audited Financial Statements for the period ended on November 30, 2022 and for the year ended March 31,
2022,March 31, 2021,and March 31, 2020.
The financial statements are prepared and presented under the historical cost convention and evaluated on a
going-concern basis using the accrual system of accounting in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India (Indian GAAP) and the requirements of the Companies Act, including the
Accounting Standards as prescribed by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 as per section
211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 (which are deemed to be applicable as Section 133 of the Companies
Act, 2013 (“the Act”) read with Rule 7 of Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014).
2. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities, if any, as at the date of
the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the year. Examples of such
estimates include value of unbilled revenue and value of WIP stock etc. The difference between the actual
results and estimates are recognized in the period in which results are known or materialized.
3. FIXED ASSETS
110
Tangible Assets are stated at cost of acquisition (net of Cen vat and VAT Credit availed) less accumulated
depreciation and impairment loss if any, except for free hold land which is carried at revalued amount based
on the report from Government approved valuer.
Subsequent expenditures related to an item of fixed asset are added to its book value only if they increase the
future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.
Gains and Losses arising from disposal of the fixed assets which are carried at cost are recognized in the
Statement of Profit & Loss. Individual assets valuing for less than Rs.5,000/- are entirely depreciated in the
year of acquisition.
Intangible Assets
Development costs of some new sintered technology applications are capitalized considering the certainty of
economic benefits likely to arise from the same over a long period. The said capitalized costs are amortized for
the purpose of depreciation / impairment over a period of 36 Months. Cost of development of the intangible
assets consists of material cost, manpower cost, plant overheads and depreciation on machinery.
4. DEPRECIATION
Depreciation on Fixed Assets is provided on Written Down Value Basis as per companies Act 2013 over the
useful life of assets estimated by Management. Individual low-cost assets acquired for less than Rs.5,000/- are
entirely depreciated in the year of acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual
estimated lives on Written Down Value Basis, commencing from the date the asset is available to the
Company for its use.
5. BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing cost includes interest and amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the
arrangement of borrowings. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production
of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are
capitalized as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they
occur.
6. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of asset exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment
loss is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. The
impairment loss recognized in prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of
amount.
7. 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 it carrying amount and net disposal proceeds is charged
or credited to the statement of profit and loss.
8. REVENUE RECOGNITION
111
i. Revenue from software development and support services comprises of income from time and
material and fixed price contracts.
ii. Revenue with respect to time and material contracts is recognized as and when related services are
performed.

transactions are affected.
Realization / Payment: -
Exchange differences arising on realization / payment of foreign exchange during the year are accounted in the
relevant year as income or expense.
Hedging: -
In respect of Forward Exchange contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency risks, the difference between
the forward rate and exchange rate at the inception of the contract is recognized as income or expense over the
life of the contract. Further, the exchange differences arising on such contracts are recognized as income or
expense along with the exchange differences on the underlying assets/liabilities. Further, in case of other
contracts with committed exchange rates, the underlying is accounted at the rate so committed. Profit or loss
on cancellations/renewals of forward contracts is recognized during the year.
i. The company has no policy of encashment and accumulation of leave. Therefore, no provision of
leave Encashment is required.
ii. Employee Benefits such as Salaries, allowances, non-monetary benefits are debited to

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax. Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to
112
be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act, 1961 enacted in India. The tax rates and
tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.
i. 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.
ii. 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.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. The company writes-down the
carrying amount of a 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.
Provisions are recognized only when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and when a reliable
estimate of the amount of obligation can be made.
a) Possible obligation which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of
the Company or
b) Present obligations arising from the past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources
will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot
be made.
c) Contingent Assets are not recognized in the financial statements since this may result in the
recognition of income that may never be realized.
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 that the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
In determining the Earnings Per share, the company considers the net profit after tax which does not include
any post tax effect of any extraordinary / exceptional item. The number of shares used in computing basic
earnings per share is the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Bonus Share
allotment has been considered as if it took place at the beginning of Restatement period.
1. The financial statements including financial information have been prepared after making such
regroupings and adjustments, considered appropriate to comply with the same. As result of these
regroupings and adjustments, the amount reported in the financial statements/information may not
113
necessarily be same as those appearing in the respective audited financial statements for the relevant
years.
2. The amounts due to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises suppliers defined under "The Micro Small
and Medium Enterprises Development Act 2006" have been identified on the basis of information
available with the Company.
Appropriate adjustments have been made in the restated financial statements, whenever required, by
reclassification of the corresponding items of assets, liabilities, in order to ensure consistency and
compliance with requirement of Company Act 2013.

i. All applications are electronically strung on first name, address (1st line) and applicant‘s status. Further, these
applications are electronically matched for common first name and address and if matched, these are checked

checked to eliminate possibility of data entry error to determine if they are multiple applications.

of data capture error to determine if they are multiple applications.

registered with SEBI and such Applications in respect of more than one scheme of the mutual fund will not be
treated as multiple Applications provided that the Applications clearly indicate the scheme concerned for which
the Application has been made. In cases where there are more than 20 valid applications having a common
address, such shares will be kept in abeyance, post allotment and released on confirmation of know your client
norms by the depositories. The Company reserves the right to reject, in its absolute discretion, all or any
multiple Applications in any or all categories.

(either in physical or electronic mode) to either the same or another Designated Branch of the SCSB Submission
of a second Application in such manner will be deemed a multiple Application and would be rejected. More
than one ASBA Applicant may apply for Equity Shares using the same ASBA Account, provided that the
SCSBs will not accept a total of more than five Application Forms with respect to any single ASBA Account.
Duplicate copies of Application Forms downloaded and printed from the website of the Stock Exchange bearing
the same application number shall be treated as multiple Applications and are liable to be rejected. The

discretion, all or any multiple Applications in any or all categories. In this regard, the procedure which would be
followed by the Registrar to the Issue to detect multiple Applications is given below:

subaccounts, Applications bearing the same PAN will be treated as multiple Applications and will be
rejected.
