NOTE:

 

Long Term Borrowings

·         The Company entered into an arrangement with a consortium of banks to obtain External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) during the year ended March 31, 2014. Pursuant to this arrangement, the Company has availed ECB of 150 million dollar repayable in full in June 2018. The ECB carries an average interest rate of 2.46% p.a. (2013: 1.94% p.a.). The ECB is an unsecured borrowing and the Company is subject to certain customary restrictions on additional borrowings and quantum of payments for acquisitions in a financial year.

 

·         Unsecured loans from others are repayable in monthly installments within the year ending March 31, 2016. The interest rates for these loans range from 0% to 12% (2013: 0%).

 

As at March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has complied with all the covenants under the loan arrangements.

 

Short Term Borrowings

Rate of Interest for PCFC loan ranges from 1% - 2% and other than PCFC loan is 12.2%.

 

 

INDEX OF CHARGES: No Charges Exist for Company

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

Profit for the standalone results is after considering loss of Rs.2.607 million [2013: Rs. (1,107)] relating to changes in fair value of forward contracts designated as hedges of net investment in non-integral foreign operations, translation of foreign currency borrowings and changes in fair value of related cross currency swaps together designated as hedges of net investment in non-integral foreign operations. In the Consolidated Accounts, these are considered as hedges of net investment in no integral foreign operations and are recognized directly in shareholder’s fund.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

According to Nasscom Strategic Review 2014, IT- BPM exports are estimated to cross USD 86 billion in FY 2014, growing at 13 per cent. The ability of the industry to suggest solutions that customers need, in addition to offer what they want has been a crucial factor in the rise. While US continues to be the largest geographic market for India, accounting for 62 percent, the highlight for the year was revival in demand from Europe, which grew at 14 per cent in FY 2014. BFSI continues to be the largest vertical segment accounting 41 per cent of industry exports; however emerging verticals such as Retail, Healthcare and Utilities are estimated to grow faster.
