Accordingly, we have deployed necessary resources in terms of technology, people and processes to monitor, evaluate and manage the principal risks we assume in conducting our activities which include market, credit & liquidity, operational, legal and reputation risks. We analyze factors and reasons causing risk on a periodic basis, plan for control of identified risks, decide on and implement appropriate risk management tools and monitor policies and procedures with the view of continuous improvement. Risk management policy and organization Our Risk management limits the exposure and margins of each client whether they are serviced directly by us or through a Business Associate. We believe that we have effective procedures for evaluating and managing the market, credit and other risks to which we are exposed, as well as protecting our reputation in the market. To meet the need for a robust and efficient risk management system, we have created a risk management cell which is regionally operational and centrally controlled and administered by the head office team at Mumbai in order to mitigate business risk. Risk management policies are decided by a risk management committee. This committee is constituted of senior officials of our Company. These policies are monitored, reviewed and revised periodically. Risk monitoring and mitigation We use products from leading software companies such as KG Financial Services Limited, Back office software of N-Trust along with ODIN software programs provided by Financial Technologies (India) Limited to monitor, among other things, client level margins and MTM losses. These software packages enable us to provide broking services through our remote branches, including online trading for various categories of clients. We have experienced personnel to manage risk and regulatory compliance and ensure implementation of risk management policy. The risk management policy is controlled by the top management of our Company. All the regional risk team members work under the direction and control of the central risk management team at our head office. Team reviews set monitoring parameters, suggest changes on the basis of regulatory and stock exchange requirements and share best practices. Risk management levels: Risk management in our Company is carried out at the client-level, the scrip-level and the company-level:

a. Client-level risk management: This is carried out by using online surveillance and monitoring tools developed by professional software companies in the industry and with the help of Comfort’s internal team. We have developed procedures to serve multiple clients’ requirements and controlling the overall risk at the same time. Trading parameters are set on a dynamic basis and are robust enough to incorporate changes required due to market conditions and clients trading potential.

b. Product-level risk management: We use internal “product-based margining’ which is based on

various parameters including impact cost, liquidity, volatility and market price fundamentals. We maintain product level, group level and segment level margins and limits as per the policy. The product list with new margin rates is revised using established parameters on a periodic basis.

c. Company-level risk management: Technology is optimized internally to implement established risk policies, create and maintain support to end users and implement robust data and network backup plans so that company- wide risk in our business can be reduced.

d. Real-time risk management: For real time risk management, a software called “Protector”, and

also a part of the software “ODIN” named “ADMIN” is used. Both these software’s are supplied by Financial Technology (India) Limited. “Protector” is complemented by a real-time risk management system that gives users information on clients open positions. This system can evaluate risks at pre-trade and post-trade levels on a dynamic or real time basis. The integrated risk management features allow our risk management team to exercise a high degree of control over the entire process. This assists us in keeping a check over the exposure limit utilized by various clients and also enables us to take action to mitigate risk in due course.

e. Security and disaster recovery: We have a information security policy and conduct periodic

systems and network penetration tests to review the vulnerability of our infrastructure. At least three recent and complete backups (not incremental backups) made on different dates containing the company’s critical records are always stored offsite. This policy ensures that a sufficient number of backup copies are always available for an important restore operation following an emergency or a disaster. If only one copy was used, the same could be damaged during a restore operation.

f. Compliance: We have in place an independent and comprehensive compliance structure to

address compliance and reputation risk. The compliance function is headed by company secretary who reports to the Corporate Governance Committee of the Company on matters relating to prevention of Insider trading as specified in the policy. The Compliance department’s role is to ensure that the Company operates in accordance with the laws and regulations of the exchanges and regulators. The Compliance officer provides support for each of the businesses. In addition, the Department provides advice on general regulatory matters, including policy, advertising, anti - money laundering, account opening, personal investment, and maintenance of Chinese wall, prevention of Insider Trading and general policies and procedures relating to regulations. The Compliance department is the main liaison arm of our Company with the regulators and handles all regulatory matters. It also ensures that persons connected to our Company do not profit by dealing in securities on the basis of unpublished price sensitive information.

g. Preservation of Price Sensitive Information: We have an insider trading policy in place. As per the

policy all connected and deemed to be connected persons including, directors, officers and designated employees of the company shall maintain the confidentiality of all unpublished price sensitive information. Such persons shall also not pass on such information to any person directly or indirectly by means such as making a recommendation for the purchase or sale of securities etc. Unpublished Price Sensitive Information is to be handled on a "need to know" basis, i.e., Price Sensitive Information should be disclosed only to those within the company who need such information to discharge their duties. All files, whether electronic or manual, containing confidential information shall be kept secure.

h. Receivables Management: In order to facilitate funds movement, we have adopted a centralized

funds management system. Online Fund Transfer facility obtained by Atom Technologies provides direct Pay – in and Pay – out to the clients.

NOTE-1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A GENERAL INFORMATION

Jaisukh Dealers Limited is a public limited company incorporated under the provisions of the Indian Companies Act, 1956. The Company is engaged in the business of trading of various kinds of Shares & other commodities.

1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Generally

Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention method. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the previous year.

1.2 Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Indian GAAP requires the

Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable.

Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognised in the period in which the results are known/ materialized.

1.3 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and the net realisable value after providing for

obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Cost includes all charges in bringing the goods to the point of sale, including octroi and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. Work-in-progress and finished goods include appropriate proportion of overheads and, where applicable, excise duty.

1.4 Tangible Fixed Assets, Depreciation and amortisation

i Fixed Assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any.

ii Depreciation has been provided on the written down method as per the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.

1.5 Investments

Page 24: Basan Commodities Limited – INFORMATION MEMORANDUM ... · FMC : Forward Market Commission . FOB : Free on Board . Government of India MCX : Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited

Basan Commodities Limited – INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

24

Long-term investments (excluding investment properties), are carried individually at cost less provision for diminution, other than temporary, in the value of such investments. Current investments are carried individually, at the lower of cost and fair value. Cost of investments include acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. Investment properties are carried individually at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Investment properties are capitalised and depreciated (where applicable) in accordance with the policy stated for Tangible Fixed Assets. Impairment of investment property is determined in accordance with the policy stated for Impairment of Assets.

1.6 Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post

tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax (including the post tax effect of extraordinary items, if any) as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share from continuing ordinary operations. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date. The dilutive potential equity shares are adjusted for the proceeds receivable had the shares been actually issued at fair value (i.e. average market value of the outstanding shares). Dilutive potential equity shares are determined independently for each period presented. The number of equity shares and potentially dilutive equity shares are adjusted for share splits / reverse share splits and bonus

1.7 Taxes on income

Current tax is the amount of tax payable on the taxable income for the year as determined in

accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability, is considered as an asset if there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance Sheet when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it will flow to the Company.

Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences, being the differences between the taxable income and the accounting income that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as at the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all timing differences. Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward of losses are recognised only if there is virtual certainty that there will be sufficient future taxable income available to realise such assets. Deferred tax assets are recognised for timing differences of other items only to the extent that reasonable certainty exists that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which these can be realised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if such items relate to taxes on income levied by the same governing tax laws and the Company has a legally enforceable right for such set off. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date for their realisability.

1.8 Provisions and contingencies

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events

and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions (excluding retirement benefits) are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the Balance Sheet date. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the

1.9 Revenue Recognition

SECTION – II - RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS ENVISAGED BY MANAGEMENT An investment in Equity shares involves a high degree of risk. The investors should consider the following risk factors together with all other information included in this Letter of Offer carefully, in evaluating the Company and its business before making any investment decision. Any projections, forecasts and estimates contained herein are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements use forward looking terminology like “may”, “believes”, “will”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “plan” or other similar words. The Company’s actual results could differ from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of certain factors including those, which are set forth in the “Risk Factors” below. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer, the trading price of the Equity Shares could decline, and all or part of the investment may be lost. The Risk factors have been determined on the basis of their materiality. The following factors have been considered for determining the materiality.

• Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively. • Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively. • Some events may not be material at present but may be having material impact in future.

Note: The risk factors are disclosed as envisaged by the management along with the proposals to address the risk if any. Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are not in a position to quantify the financial implication of any of the risks described in this section. In this information memorandum, any discrepancies in any table between total and the sums of the amount listed are due to rounding off. Any percentage amounts, as set forth in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this information memorandum unless otherwise indicated, has been calculated on the basis of the amount disclosed in the "Auditors Report" prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards.

Page 45: Basan Commodities Limited – INFORMATION MEMORANDUM ... · FMC : Forward Market Commission . FOB : Free on Board . Government of India MCX : Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited

Basan Commodities Limited – INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

INTERNAL RISK FACTORS Litigations: There are no litigations pending against the Company / its Subsidiaries / Promoter / Directors and Group companies. Contingent liabilities: We have guarantees issued by banks amounting to Rs. 1,20,00,000/- (one crore and twenty lakhs only) as on 31st, March 2013. Our business is dependent on trading activity by our clients or my own trading, which could be affected by market fluctuations: We will be affected by adverse economic and political conditions, broad trends in business and financial changes in volumes and price levels of securities and other factors that affect the volume of stock and commodities trading in India and the level of interest in Indian business developments. In recent years, the Indian and world securities markets have fluctuated considerably and a downturn in these markets could adversely affect our operating results. Also when markets are highly volatile, we run the risk of bad debts and losses and also litigations. Reduced trading volumes and prices have historically resulted in reduced transaction revenues for brokerage, which affects our profitability adversely because our overheads are substantially fixed. Severe market fluctuations or decrease in equity prices which result in decreased trading activity could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Intrusions and breaches into the security of our I.T. infrastructure could damage our reputation and result in a liability to us: We maintain databases of confidential customer information on our internal network. Our facilities and infrastructure must remain secure to prevent leakages of this information outside our network. We have implemented best practices in the security of our I.T. infrastructure. But despite our best efforts, no system is foolproof and our infrastructure may be vulnerable to physical break-ins, computer viruses, programming errors or similar disruptive problems. If our security measures are circumvented, the security of confidential and propriety information stored on our systems could be jeopardized, or our operations could be interrupted. A material security breach could damage our reputation or result in liability to us, and we do not carry insurance that protects us from this kind of loss. Our management team is a key component in the successful culmination of the business strategies of our company: Our Company has a core team of professionals who form the management team, which oversees the operations and growth of our businesses. Loss of our senior management and key managerial personnel could adversely affect our business. Failure to attract and retain skilled manpower could also adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, any increase in our attrition rates, would adversely affect our growth plans. Our business will be adversely affected if the expansion strategy is not implemented successfully: Our Company has registered rapid growth over the past two years and the continuing improvement in the financial health of the company is dependent on the successful implementation of our expansion strategy within India. Any stumbling blocks that we come across in our strategy could derail our efforts and impede the business prospects of our company. Our business is dependent on continuing relationships with existing clients: The business of stock broking is very customer driven. The majority of our client base is retail in nature. We have 800-1000 clients across the country. The business from our clients is dependent on not only economic considerations but on healthy and cordial relations of our management and employees with our clients. We have to continue to keep contact with each of our clients and keep track of their portfolios. About 50% of the volumes are done by few of our clients. Any adverse situation with one or more of our clients could result in the

Page 46: Basan Commodities Limited – INFORMATION MEMORANDUM ... · FMC : Forward Market Commission . FOB : Free on Board . Government of India MCX : Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited

Basan Commodities Limited – INFORMATION MEMORANDUM

46

discontinuation of their business relationship with us and could cause additional clients to also discontinue their business relationships with us. This could adversely affect our business. Post issue the promoters will hold a majority stake in the company: Post Public Issue, the promoters will be the majority stakeholders in the company. This will result in them having a majority vote on key decisions to be taken by the management of the company. We may be unable to implement programs and strategies which may be beneficial to the company on account of a difference of opinion between the promoters and the management on several key issues pertaining to the operations of the company, which could have an adverse effect on the future condition of the company. Order input errors: Some of our clients place orders over the phone. We face the risk of making errors while inputting the orders due to misunderstanding of instructions or poor quality of the phone connection. This may lead to losses for our clients, who may choose to cease their relationships with us, leading to a loss of business. Derivatives trading by clients are generally of a higher risk and we may face losses on account of inadequate risk management policies and systems: We offer clients the facility to trade in derivative instruments in the Indian commodities market as is currently permitted in India. Trading in derivative instruments involves taking leveraged positions on the underlying assets. This aspect of the nature of derivatives trading makes it riskier as compared to the other financial instruments. As such, investors and the market intermediaries are exposed to a greater risk in dealing with such instruments. We deal in such instruments on behalf of our clients and may face financial losses if we fail to manage prudently the risk of our clients’ dealing in derivative instruments. Our project has not been appraised: Our project has not been appraised by any appraisal agency or bank. The expenditures mentioned for each aspect of the project are estimates prepared by the management team of our company, and as such, may not be absolutely accurate. Thus there may be cost overruns on account of underestimation of project expenditure of some aspects of the project. This could adversely affect the time schedule of the project implementation thereby affecting our profitability. There is no agency to monitor the utilization of the proceeds of the issue: The utilization of the proceeds of the issue will not be monitored by any monitoring agency. The utilization of the proceeds of the issue will as per the discretion of the promoters and management of the company. Rapid growth in our company and business may require us to issue fresh equity which may lead to dilution of equity and may affect the market price of our equity shares: Our growth is dependent on having a strong balance sheet to support our activities and satisfy the financial requirements of the various exchanges and regulatory authorities. Changing business conditions may require us to raise additional capital to finance the growth of our business beyond what our current balance sheet could sustain. Any fresh issue of shares/convertible securities would dilute existing holders, and such issuance may not be done at terms and conditions, which are favorable to the then existing investors or us. Material changes in the regulations that govern us could cause our business to suffer and the price of our Equity Shares to decline. We are regulated by the Companies Act and our operational activities are subject to supervision and regulation by statutory and regulatory authorities including the FMC and Indian stock exchanges.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS Substantial competition could harm our financial performance: We face substantial competition in each of the markets we serve. Retail brokerage is a highly competitive field and we expect increased competition in the online brokerage arena as the industry develops. We believe that commodity brokerage will grow from current levels and this growth will attract new competition. The market for retail distribution of personal financial products has witnessed extensive growth and is currently highly competitive with a large number of players of different sizes active in this industry. We believe that our pioneering efforts in mobile phone trading of commodities will, in future, attract a lot of competition as the number of mobile phone users grows in the country and if the adoption of our service is high. We expect that competition in each of the markets we operate in will continue, grow and intensify in the future. An increase in competition and number of competitors could adversely impact our margins, market share and consequently our profitability. Online trading is an increasingly competitive market: With the spread of I.T. literacy and the increasing adoption of computers and internet usage in households and businesses, internet trading is being adopted by people as a fast and convenient way of trading in securities. We believe that the potential of the online trading industry will attract many competitors such as banks, insurance companies, providers of online financial and information services and others, as the industry develops. Increase in competition in online trading may require us to reduce our operating margins to remain competitive with other offerings. It could also result in loss of market share thereby affecting our revenue source. Political instability in our country: Persistent political instability in our country could lead to market shocks which could adversely affect our business. The government of the country is a coalition government and this scenario has been in existence for the past two regimes. By its very nature, a coalition government is not as stable as a single party government due to the possibility of conflicts between the parties in the coalition. As witnessed by the events of May 2004, the unexpected defeat of the ruling coalition government led to a severe downward reaction in the stock markets. Similarly other political events such as withdrawal of support to the coalition by one or more of its members, opposition to reforms, defection of members, etc. could lead to a negative reaction in the markets. Such events could cause financial losses to our clients leading to defaults on pay-ins, thereby affecting our business and profitability. Additionally political instability could result in decreased involvement by FIIs and other institutional investors in the Indian markets leading to lower trading volumes and consequently lower trading by our clients. Low penetration of I.T. in India: Personal computers have very low penetration rates in India as compared to other developed and some developing countries. This has led to very low adoption and access levels of the Internet in India. There is no guarantee or assurance that the penetration levels of computers or access to the internet will increase in India. This limits the market size and potential for our online trading and mobile trading services. Terrorism war can adversely affect the financial market: Civil unrest, acts of violence including terrorism or war involving India and other countries could materially and adversely affect the financial markets and our business. Any major hostilities involving India or other acts of violence, including civil unrest or similar events that are beyond our control, could have a material adverse effect on India’s economy and our business. Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence may adversely affect the Indian stock markets, where our Equity Shares will trade, and the global equity markets generally. Our ability to raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law: As an Indian company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies. Such regulatory restrictions limit our financing sources and hence could constrain our ability to obtain financing on competitive terms

and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, we cannot assure you that the required approvals will be granted to us without onerous conditions, if at all. Limitations on raising foreign debt may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Tax rates may have adverse impact on our business: Tax rates applicable to Our Company may increase and may have an adverse impact on our business. The tax rates including surcharge and education cess applicable to us for fiscal 2011 are 33.99%. Any increase in the tax rates may have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations and we can provide no assurance as to the extent of the impact of such changes. Restriction on daily movement in the price of the Equity shares: There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity Shares at a particular point in time. Following the listing, we will be subject to a daily “circuit breaker” imposed by BSE, 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 on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on our circuit breakers will be set by the stock exchanges based on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The BSE may 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 will limit the upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, no assurance can 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.

RISKS RELATING TO THE EQUITY SHARES Our Company may raise further rounds of equity financing in which the existing shareholders may not participate resulting in reduction of their percentage of holding in our company. In order to grow business, our Company may require additional funds at various points of time. Our Company may raise funds through various means including debt, equity and securities convertible into equity. Any such issuances of equity and securities convertible into equity would dilute the holding of Equity Shareholders. Difficult market conditions can adversely affect our business in many ways, including by reducing the volume of the transactions involving our advisory business, and these could materially reduce our revenue or income. Our ability to pay any dividends in the future will depend upon future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditures. The amount of our future dividend payments, if any, will depend upon our Company’s future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, applicable Indian legal restrictions and other factors. There can be no assurance that our Company will be able to pay dividends. The price of our Equity Shares may be volatile.

The trading price of our Equity Shares may fluctuate after the listing due to a variety of factors, including our results of operations and the performance of our business, competitive conditions, general economic, political and social factors, the performance of the Indian and global economy and significant developments in India’s fiscal regime, volatility in the Indian and global securities market, performance of our competitors, the Indian Capital Markets, changes in the estimates of our performance or recommendations by financial analysts and announcements by us or others regarding contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments. In addition, if the stock markets experience a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our Equity Shares could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading price of our Equity Shares might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others, could materially affect the price of our Equity Shares. Active trading market for our Equity Shares may not develop. Till date there has been no public market for our Equity Shares. We propose to list our Equity Shares on Equity Shares on Institution Trading Platform (ITP) of BSE SME. We cann ot assure that pursuant to listing on ITP, active trading market of our Equity Shares or for securities convertible in to Equity Shares would develop as trading on ITP is subject to certain restrictions viz minimum trading lot on institutional trading platform is Rs. 10 Lacs. Further the securities listed on ITP will be mandatorily exited within 18 months of triggering various events such as completion of ten years on listing of ITP or attaining paid up capital of Rs. 25 Crores or attaining revenue of Rs. 300 Crores or attaining market capitalization of Rs. 500 Crores. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a shareholder’s a b i l i t y to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity Shares at a particular point in time.
