LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History:

 

Subject was originally incorporated in 1991 as Express Financial Exchange Private Limited, a financial services company and became public limited company in 5th September, 1995 named Express Financial Exchange Limited. The company diversified into information technology and consequently changed its name to Hellios & Matheson Information Technology Limited in May' 1999 so as to truly reflect the main focus of the business before going into public.

 
The company is an Information Technology company, having integrated operations of Software Development, Education and IT Consulting. The focus is on NetCentric computing specialising in intranet and internet based applications and e-commerce and visual computing. Currently the company is not pursuing any financial services business. 

 
The first expansion project was funded by internal accruals. Further expansion was met by term loan granted for Rs.5.000 Millions in 1997 from Bank of India and based on the growth and success a second term loan of Rs.5.000 Millions was sanctioned in 1998.

 
The company's development centre in Tamilnadu was inaugurated in April 1994. The company has entered into an exclusive arrangement for academic back up and technical guidance from Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai in 1996 for framing of syllabus outline and details, preparation of course material, orientation of faculty, consultancy in respect of PC based hardware and project work of DOE courses. The company has alliance partnership with Novell for Novell authorised education centre (NAEC) at Pondicherry and Novell education academic partners (NEAP) for other centres. 

 
The company has obtained provisional accreditation from DOEACC/AICTE for conducting Diploma in Computer Application course (`O' Level) at Pondicherry and is in the process for obtaining accreditation for `A' and `B' Level equivalent to B.Sc (Comp. Sc.), MCA and BTech (Comp. Sc.) The focus is on niche areas and quality process. 

 
 During 2001-02 the company acquired 100% interest in System Logic Solutions Limited in Bangalore. It has also acquired majority stake and management control in Laxmi group Inc LA USA.

 

Business & Results of Operation: 

 
 Income for the year ended March 31, 2008 was Rs4063.382 Millions as compared to Rs. 6955.567 Millions for the previous year. this is an increase of 2.73%. 

 
 Net profit after tax for the year ended march 31, 2008 was Rs.472.046 Millions vis-a-vis Rs. 599.770 Millions for fy 07.earnings per share was Rs. 20.40 as compared to Rs.29.97 for the previous year. a 13% appreciation of rupee during the year combined with increase in cost of operations in India has contributed to reduced margins. the decline in eps is due to increase in the paid up share capital consequent to allotment of 31,02,239 equity shares to the fccb bondholders during the year on conversion of bonds for a value of $ 8 million. 

 
The company is among the leading global IT companies and continues to win new engagements and grow existing relationships despite challenges in the market. 

 
 The broad range of services in its portfolio enables the company to provide end to end solutions to the clients. the company has realigned its operating structures to suit ever changing client needs. this will help the company to retain its position amidst growing competition globally. 

 

Acquisition of the 3 vmoksha companies in usa, Singapore and India: present position 

 
 n the arbitration proceedings, in the share purchase transaction with vmoksha, arguments have been completed and the final award is expected to be announced. 

 
 As reported already, the company signed a definitive share purchase agreement (spa) to acquire 100% equity in three vmoksha entities based at bangalore, singapore and usa in the month of may 2005. however the sellers tried to renege the spa and hence the company initiated arbitration proceedings. 

 
 They wish to reiterate that, based on its present knowledge of the facts and as per legal opinion obtained the current arbitration proceeding will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of helios and matheson.
