Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Interim financial information


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of SMC Global Securities Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary (‘Group’) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited. The statement of income includes the results of SMC Comtrade from the date of acquisition. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2008, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in the United States of America for full financial statements. These financia l statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2008.


In presenting the condensed financial statements, management makes estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the condensed financial statements, and it is possible that such changes could occur in the near term.

For the convenience of the reader, the financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 have been translated into U.S. dollars (US$) at US$1.00 = Rs. 42.93 based on the noon buying rate on June 30, 2008 by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Such translation should not be construed as representation that the rupee amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate, or at all.



Earnings Per Share


In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share", basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  The Group does not have any outstanding dilutive securities and hence the basic and diluted earnings per share are same.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”). The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 became effective beginning April 1, 2007 for us. The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of April 1, 2007.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2008 for us. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 157 will have on the financial statements.


In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 allows the company to choose to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2008 for us. The Group in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 159 will have on the Group’s financial statements.


In April 2007, the FASB issued FSP No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39 (“FSP FIN 39-1”). FSP FIN 39-1 modifies FIN No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts, and permits companies to offset cash collateral receivables or payables with net derivative positions. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2008 for us with early adoption permitted. The Group in the process of evaluating the impact  FSP FIN 39-1 will have on the Group’s financial statements.


In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the AICPA issued Statement of Position 07-1, Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies (“SOP 07-1”). The intent of SOP 07-1 is to clarify which entities are within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Investment Companies (the “Guide”). Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has agreed to propose an indefinite delay of the effective dates of SOP 07-1. The Group in the process of evaluating the impact SOP 07-1 will have on the Group’s financial statements.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement requires the recognition of a non-controlling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. Purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. The Group will be required to adopt this new Statement prospectively to all non-controlling interest, including any that arose before the effective date, for fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2008 which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2009 for us. Early adoption is prohibited. The Group in the process of evaluating the impac t SFAS 160 will have on the Group’s financial statements.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed including contingencies and non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the acquisition date, measured at their fair value, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. In a business combination achieved in stages, this Statement requires the acquirer to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at full amounts of their fair values. This Statement requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. The Group will be required to apply this new Statement prospectively to business combinations consummated in fiscal years beginning after Decembe r 15, 2008 which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2009 for us. Early adoption is prohibited.

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures on derivative and hedging activities by requiring objectives to be disclosed for using derivative instruments in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This Statement requires disclosures on the need of using derivative instruments, accounting of derivative instruments and related hedged items, if any, under SFAS 133 and effect of such instruments and related hedge items, if any, on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The Group will be required to adopt this new Statement prospectively, for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2009 for us. The Group in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 161 will have on the Group’s financial statements.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities


a) Operating Leases


SMC Global has certain operating leases for office premises. Rental expenses for operating leases are accounted for on a straight line method. Rental expense amounted to Rs. 2,329 and Rs. 11,530 for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 respectively. There are no non-cancelable lease arrangements.


b) Guarantees


As of March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, guarantees of Rs 1,949,175 and Rs.1,961,675are provided by various banks to exchange clearing houses for the Group, in the ordinary course of business, as a security for due performance and fulfillment by the Group of its commitments and obligations.


As of March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the Company has provided corporate guarantees of Rs. 290,000 and Rs. 175,000 to banks for guarantees issued by banks for SAM Global Securities Limited to exchange clearing houses, in the ordinary course of business.


As of March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the Company has provided corporate guarantees of Rs. 236,500 and Rs. 196,500 to banks for guarantees issued by banks for SMC Comtrade to exchange clearing houses, in the ordinary course of business.



The initial term of these guarantees is generally for a period of 12 to 15 months. The bankers charge commission as consideration to issue the guarantees. The commission charged generally is in the range of 1.0% to 1.3% of the guarantee amount. The Group recognizes commission expense over the period of the guarantee and classify in the income statement under ‘interest expense’. The unamortized commission expense is included in prepaid expenses and classified in the balance sheet under “other assets”. The potential requirement for the Group to make payments under these agreements is remote. Thus, no liability has been recognized for these transactions. The fair value of the guarantees is considered to be insignificant given the risk of loss on such guarantees at the date of its inception and, therefore, no amount was recognized towards fair value of guarantees given in the financial statements on the inception date.


c) Litigation


The Group is involved, from time to time, in investigations and proceedings by governmental and regulatory agencies, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, fines or penalties. Factors considered by management in estimating the Group’s reserves for these matters are the merits of the claims, the total cost of defending the litigation, the likelihood of a successful defense against the claims, and the potential for fines and penalties from regulatory agencies. The Group is carrying reserves of Rs. 10,000 for potential losses to the extent that such matters are probable and can be estimated, in accordance with SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”  As litigation and the resolution of regulatory matters are inherently unpredictable, the Group cannot predict with certainty the ultimate loss or range of loss related to matters where there is only a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred. The Group believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, that the resolution of loss contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Group.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Interim financial information


The accompanying condensed financial statements of SAM Global Securities Limited as of June 30, 2008 and for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements include all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. The condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2008, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2008.

For the convenience of the reader, the financial statements as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 have been translated into U.S. dollars (US$) at US$1.00 = Rs. 42.93 based on the noon buying rate on June 30, 2008 by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Such translation should not be construed as representation that the rupee amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate, or at all.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”). The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 became effective beginning April 1, 2007 for us. The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of April 1, 2007.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2008 for us. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 157 will have on the financial statements.


In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 allows the company to choose to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2008 for us. The Company in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s financial statements.


In April 2007, the FASB issued FSP No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39 (“FSP FIN 39-1”). FSP FIN 39-1 modifies FIN No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts, and permits companies to offset cash collateral receivables or payables with net derivative positions. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2008 for us with early adoption permitted. The Company in the process of evaluating the impact  FSP FIN 39-1 will have on the Company’s financial statements.


In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the AICPA issued Statement of Position 07-1, Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies (“SOP 07-1”). The intent of SOP 07-1 is to clarify which entities are within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Investment Companies (the “Guide”). Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has agreed to propose an indefinite delay of the effective dates of SOP 07-1. The Company in the process of evaluating the impact SOP 07-1 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This Statement requires the recognition of a non-controlling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. Purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. The company will be required to adopt this new Statement prospectively to all non-controlling interest, including any that arose before the effective date, for fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2008 which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2009 for us. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company in the process of evaluating the imp act SFAS 160 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed including contingencies and non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the acquisition date, measured at their fair value, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. In a business combination achieved in stages, this Statement requires the acquirer to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at full amounts of their fair values. This Statement requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. The company will be required to apply this new Statement prospectively to business combinations consummated in fiscal years beginning after Decem ber 15, 2008 which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2009 for us. Early adoption is prohibited.

In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures on derivative and hedging activities by requiring objectives to be disclosed for using derivative instruments in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This Statement requires disclosures on the need of using derivative instruments, accounting of derivative instruments and related hedged items, if any, under SFAS 133 and effect of such instruments and related hedge items, if any, on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The company will be required to adopt this new Statement prospectively, for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 which is fiscal year commencing April 1, 2009 for us. The Company in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 161 will have on the Company’s fin ancial statements.

The fair value of the guarantees is considered to be insignificant given the risk of loss on such guarantees at the date of its inception and, therefore, no amount was recognized towards fair value of guarantees given in the financial statements on the inception date.


c) Litigation


The Company is involved, from time to time, in investigations and proceedings by governmental and regulatory agencies, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, fines or penalties. Factors considered by management in estimating the Company’s reserves for these matters are the merits of the claims, the total cost of defending the litigation, the likelihood of a successful defense against the claims, and the potential for fines and penalties from regulatory agencies. The Company establishes reserves for potential losses to the extent that such matters are probable and can be estimated, in accordance with SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” As litigation and the resolution of regulatory matters are inherently unpredictable, the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate loss or range of loss related to matters where there is only a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred. The Company believes, based on current k nowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, that the resolution of loss contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Company.

Subhash Chand Aggarwal, Chairman of SMC Group, said “We are pleased with the growth that SMC Group was able to have despite a difficult financial business environment in India. With the Indian stockmarkets trading down, the Sensex dropped by approximately 33% since January 2008 and trading volumes have lowered as well. While investors remain confident about the long-term growth prospects of India, in the short-term, many investors are waiting before making large investment decisions. The general sentiment on the ground in India is that the second half of the fiscal year should see a return to more normal market conditions. GDP growth in India is strong and the financial sector is under penetrated.  Our entire management team remains confident about long-term growth prospects for our business. During this difficult financial environment SMC Group is using this period to better our infrastructure, add more distribution, attract key staff and prepare for the upturn. These capital intensive initiatives have affected profitability in the short-term, but  positions us for stronger long-term growth. We are also focusing on new areas where we see opportunity such as online trading and wealth management.”


F. Jacob Cherian, Chairman and CEO of MIAC added, “SMC Group is operating in a difficult business environment. While not affected directly by the credit crisis – SMC has no exposure to mortgage or credit securities – the drop in the Sensex and the change in investor sentiment due to negative global financial events has clearly had an impact on the business this quarter. The India growth story still remain strong – a nation of over a billion consumers and GDP growth widely expected to be over 7%. We are hopeful that the sentiment will change, allowing the business to operate at its full potential.”
