Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SMC Global Securities Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary (Group) and their equity affiliates. The statement of income includes the results of SMC Comtrade, SMC Investments, SMC Capitals, SMC ARC, Moneywise Financial, SMC Comex and SMC Insurance, from the date of acquisition.
The company also consolidates the results of SMC Finvest Limited (formerly known as Sanlam Investment Management (India) Limited) and Moneywise Finvest Limited (formerly known as Sanlam Trustee Company (India) Limited) as the company has acquired complete control over its operating and financial decisions . The Company had invested ` 159,900 to acquire 15,990,000 equity shares of SMC Finvest Limited (formerly known as Sanlam Investment Management (India) Limited) representing 39% interest. The Company had invested ` 3,900 to acquire 390,000 equity shares of Moneywise Finvest Limited (formerly known as Sanlam Trustee Company (India) Limited) representing 39% interest.
All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Group accounts for investments in entities that are not variable interest entities where the Group owns a voting or economic interest of 20% to 50% and/or for which it has significant influence over operating and financing decisions using the equity method of accounting. The Groups equity in the profits/(losses) of affiliates is included in the statements of income unless the carrying amount of an investment is reduced to zero and the Group is under no guaranteed obligation or otherwise committed to provide further financial support.
The Group consolidates investments in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights or where it exercises control.
Use of Estimates
In preparing these financial statements, management makes use of estimates concerning certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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 financial statements, and it is possible that such changes could occur in the near term. Significant estimates and assumptions are used when accounting for certain items, such as but not limited to, valuation of securities, allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable, future obligations under employee benefit plans, useful lives of property and equipment, valuation allowances for deferred taxes and contingencies.
Foreign Currency and Convenience Translation
The accompanying financial statements are reported in Indian rupee (INR or ` or Rs.). The Indian rupee is the functional currency for the Group and its affiliates, other than SMC Comex. The functional currency of SMC Comex is its local currency (AED). Assets and liabilities of SMC Comex are translated at year-end rates of exchange, and income statement accounts are translated at weighted average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.
For the convenience of the reader, the financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012 have been translated into U.S.dollars (US$) at US$1.00 = ` 52.92 based on the spot exchange as on September 30, 2012 declared by the Federal Reserve Board, United States of America. 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. The convenience translation is unaudited.
Revenue Recognition
a) Proprietary Trading
Revenues from proprietary trading consist primarily of net trading income earned by the Group when trading as principal. Net trading income from proprietary trading represents trading gains net of trading losses. Proprietary revenue includes both realized and unrealized gains and losses. The profit and loss arising from all transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Group are recorded on a trade date basis.
Derivative financial instruments are used for trading purposes and carried at fair value. Market value for exchange-traded derivatives, principally futures and options is based on quoted market prices. The gains or losses on derivatives used for trading purposes are included in revenues from proprietary trading. Purchases and sales of derivative financial instruments are recorded on trade date. The transactions are recorded on a net basis when the legal right of offset exists.
b) Commission Income
Commission income is recognized on trade date basis as securities transactions occur. Commission income from insurance broking business is recognized on the logging in or placement of policies with the respective insurance company. The Group reports commission income on transactions as revenue on gross basis and reports commissions paid to sub brokers as commission expense.
c) Distribution Income
The Group earns distribution income on distribution of initial public offerings, mutual funds and other securities on behalf of the lead managers of those offerings, mutual funds and other securities. The Groups primary obligation is distribution and collection of the subscription forms through its sub-broker network for which it is compensated by the lead managers. It recognizes distribution income net of distribution revenues attributable to sub-brokers when significant obligations have been fulfilled and the right to recognize revenue has been established.
d) Portfolio Management and Consultancy Services
The Group renders portfolio management services and management consultancy. It recognizes the fee income on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of agreement and completion of service.
Securities Transactions
Securities owned consist of securities and derivative instruments used for trading purposes and for managing risk exposure in trading inventory. Proprietary security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis at fair value. Changes in fair value of securities (i.e., unrealized gains and losses) are recognized as proprietary trading revenues in the current period.
Marketable securities are valued at market value, based on quoted market prices and securities not readily marketable are valued at fair value as determined by management.
Investments
Equity securities held for purposes other than trading which do not have a readily determinable fair value, are accounted at cost or equity method of accounting subject to an impairment charge for any other than temporary decline in value. The impairment is charged to income. In order to determine whether a decline in value is other than temporary, the Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the value has been less than the carrying value, the financial condition of and business outlook for the investee, including key operational and cash flow indicators, current market conditions and future trends in the industry and the intent and ability of the Group to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less at the date of acquisition.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over estimated useful life using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
Buildings | 50 years |
Equipment, vehicles and furniture | 5 years |
Computer hardware | 3 years |
Satellite equipment (VSAT) | 10 years |
Purchased Intangible Assets
Purchased intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives unless these lives are determined to be indefinite. Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of three years using the straight-line method.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment. Determination of recoverability of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Receivables and Payables
Customer Receivables and Payables
Customer securities transactions are recorded on a settlement date basis. Receivables from and payables to customers include amounts due on cash transactions, including derivative contracts transacted on behalf of the Groups customers Securities owned by customers, including those that collateralize margin or other similar transactions, are not reflected on the financial statements.
Brokers-Dealers and Clearing Organizations Receivables and Payables
Amounts due from and due to other broker-dealers and clearing organizations include net receivables or payables arising from unsettled regular-way transactions, failed settlement transactions and commissions.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potential losses from unsecured and partially secured customer accounts deemed uncollectible. The facts and circumstances surrounding each receivable from customers and the number of shares, price and volatility of the underlying collateral are considered by management in determining the allowance. Management continually evaluates its receivables from customers for collectability and possible write-off. The Group manages the credit risk associated with its receivables from customers through credit limits and continuous monitoring of collateral.
Membership in Exchanges
Exchange memberships owned by the Group are originally carried at cost. Adjustments to carrying value are made if the Group determines that an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred. In determining whether the value of the exchange memberships the Group owns are impaired (that is, fair market value is below cost) and whether such impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary, the Group consider many factors, including, but not limited to, information regarding recent sale and lease prices of exchange memberships, historical trends of sales prices of memberships, the current condition of the particular exchanges market structure, legal and regulatory developments affecting the particular exchanges market structure, trends in new listings on the particular exchange, general global and national economic factors and the Groups knowledge and judgment of the securities market as a whole.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Employee Benefits
i) Provident Fund
In accordance with Indian law, employees are entitled to receive benefits under the Provident Fund, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the employee and the employer make monthly contributions to the plan at a predetermined rate (presently 12.0%) of the employees basic salary. These contributions are made to the fund administered and managed by the Government of India. The Groups monthly contributions are charged to income in the period they are incurred. The Group has no further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly contributions.
ii) Gratuity Plan
The Group has a defined benefit retirement plan (the Gratuity Plan) covering all its employees in India. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement or termination of employment based on the respective employee's salary and years of employment with the Group.
The Group provides for the Gratuity Plan on the basis of actuarial valuation. All actuarial gains or losses are expensed off in the year in which they arise.
The funded status of the Groups retirement related benefit plan is recognized in the balance sheet. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation at September 30, the measurement date.
iii) Compensated Absence
The employees of the Group are entitled to compensated absences based on the unavailed leave balance and the last drawn salary of the respective employees. The Group has provided for the liability on account of compensated absences in accordance with ASC 710-10-25 (SFAS No. 43, "Accounting for Compensated Absences"). The Group records a liability based on actuarial valuations.
Income Taxes
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of income in the period of enactment. Based on managements judgment, the measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which it is more likely than not that some portion or all of such benefits will not be realized. Due to the intent and the ability of the Group to receive dividends and/or to liquidate investments in a tax-free manner, the Group has not recorded a deferred tax liability on the undistributed earnings of equity accounted associates.
Comprehensive Earnings
Comprehensive earnings for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2012, was equal to the Groups net earnings.
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 Company does not have any dilutive securities and hence the basic and diluted earnings per share are same.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued amendments to the existing guidance on fair value measurement in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04"Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs". The amendments are intended to create consistency between U.S. generally accepted accounting standards and International Financial Reporting Standards on measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements including (i) the application of the highest and best use valuation premise concepts, (ii) measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity, and (iii) quantitative information required for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3. In addition, the amendments require additional disclosure for Level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. These changes are required to be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect a material impact upon adoption of the provisions of the FASB guidance on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05"Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income" an amendment to the existing guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Under the amended guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This update eliminates the option in U.S. GAAP to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. The amendments are effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this amendment will result in a change to the Company's current presentation of comprehensive income.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, "IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350)." The objective of this update is to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. This update permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011. The Company does not expect any material impact upon the adoption of this update.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance enhancing disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity's right to offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the gross amounts subject to rights of set-off, amounts offset in accordance with the accounting standards followed, and the related net exposure. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2013. Other than requiring additional disclosures, we do not anticipate material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

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 ` 27,582 and ` 55,866 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 respectively. There are no non-cancelable lease arrangements.
b) Guarantees
As of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, guarantees of ` 2,710,075 and ` 3,197,575 are provided by various banks to exchange clearing houses and sale tax authorities 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.
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 0.6% to 0.8% 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.
