MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT1. Education Industry The Indian education system is one of the largest in the world. The

education sector is divided into two main segments; the formal education is highly regulated and fall under the purview of Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, non-formal education is unregulated. Informal education comprises preschool, vocational training, coaching classes, multimedia and soft skills development. Education in India is mainly provided by the public sector, with control and funding coming from three levels: federal, state and local.

India’s higher education system is the third largest in the world, after China and the United States. The main governing body at the tertiary level is the University Grants Commission (India), which enforces its standards, advises the government, and helps coordinate between the centre and the state. Accreditation for higher learning is overseen by 12 autonomous institutions established by the University Grants Commission. The Central Government plays a vital role in the

evolution and monitoring of educational policies and programmes. Education market in India currently stands at a year-on-year (YoY)

growth of 15 per cent. The education spend in India is at US$ 600 billion and the private education segment alone is expected to cross US$ 45 billion mark by 2015 from the present US$ 35 billion, according to a research report prepared by Investor Relation Society, affiliated to US based Global Investor Relations Network. However there is a further demand of investments worth US$ 100 billion by 2014 according to a report titled ‘Indian Education Investment Report 2013’. The private education sector is estimated to reach US$ 70 billion by 2013 and US$ 115 billion by 2018, according to consulting firm Technopak.

The education sector has attracted foreign direct investments (FDI) worth Rs 3,332.97 crore (US$ 552.09 million) during April 2000 to March 2013, according to the data released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

India is emerging as one of the world’s largest consumers of education services with a target population of close to 450 million (in the age

Page 11:  · of Association of the Company, Dr. Anil Naik retires by rotation as Director at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and being eligible, offers himself for reappointment. Brief

ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13

8

band of 5-24 years). This number is expected to increase to 486 million by 2025, exceeding the combined target population in China (354 million) and US (91 million) according to Report on Education Sector in India by Perth Education City.

Combine the thought with the fact that India is a nation of young people - out of a population of above 1.1 billion, 672 million people are in the age-group 15 to 59 years - which is usually treated as the “working age population”. This young population should be considered as an invaluable asset which if equipped with knowledge and skills, can contribute effectively to the development of the national as well as the global economy. The vision is to realize India’s human resource potential to its fullest in the education sector, with equity and inclusion.

Realizing the fast growth of education sector in India, many private companies are looking for relevant acquisitions and alliances in this space. Major investments are being seen in the areas of pre-schools, private coaching and tutoring, teacher training, the development and provision of multimedia content, educational software development, skill enhancement, IT training and e-learning.

For India to maintain its economic growth in the global marketplace fuelled by the knowledge economy, the country needs to increase student enrolments in higher education. The country’s demographic differentials reveal that India will have a distinct advantage of the younger age group (where many new opportunities can be fully optimized) over the next few years. To enroll this high number of young population in colleges, the country requires more universities and training institutes.

As per research by Perth Education City, the number of universities has grown manifold and a similar trend has been witnessed in the number of student enrolments (up to 14 million) in higher education. The annual student enrolments in higher education are expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 8.7% during 2010-11 to 2012-13. Further, the market size of higher education will witness a CAGR of approximately 15% to cross US$ 22 billion by 2013.

Although the country has one of the largest higher education systems in the world, a report on ‘Indian Education Services - A Hot Opportunity’ has found that there remains a high growth potential for the development of the higher education system in India. Along with the quantity of graduates, the quality of education is anticipated to be another focus area for the Indian higher education system. With the entry of foreign players, it is expected that the competition will intensify and correspondingly improve the quality of education.

If addressed properly, there are a number of factors which can act as a catalyst for the growth of higher education in India. Availability of education loans, growing demand for skilled personnel and e-learning are few of the growth areas. The country also faces challenges like low pedagogic quality and lack of investment funds in providing quality education. The number of people who are waiting for quality education and availability of top class education has a great imbalance. This is allowing India to become the best target to feed private equity investment in the educational sector.

Dynamic growth in private investment in education is expected simply because there is strong and rising demand for such services and the public education system is not equipped to supply the same in terms of either quality or quantity. In fact, the huge preference for private sector schools in India can be well understood from the fact that 40% of students in India are enrolled in private schools which account for only 7% of the network! Source: Indian Education Sector Report IDFC. The involvement and participation of focussed, quality conscious private bodies is likely to grow multi-fold. Over the next decade, the education sector is expected to witness the emergence of new upstarts;

The Indian middle class demand for higher education for children has increased with rise in middle class incomes, causing the savings ratio for securing higher education for their children to touch 55%. Educational and related expenses are deemed an investment. This change in attitude will act as a catalyst, promoting higher investments in the said sector.

2. Vocational Training in India and the need for private participation Generally, vocation and career are used interchangeably. Vocational

education might be classified as teaching procedural knowledge. This may be contrasted with declarative knowledge, as used in education in a usually broader scientific field, which might concentrate on theory and abstract conceptual knowledge, characteristic of tertiary education. Vocational education is related to the age-old apprenticeship system of learning.

India has world’s second largest working age population, yet many of the vacancies go unfilled in need of the desired candidate. With a near double digit growth during the last decade, the demand for skilled resources has increased manifold. The high proportion of school

dropout along with rising impact of technology in almost all industries has expanded the demand of vocational training in India. Vocational training bridges the gap between theoretical classroom training and real work environment through its job-specific skill training.

Vocational education consists basically of practical courses through which one gains skills and experience directly linked to a career in the future. It helps students to be skilled and in turn, offers better employment opportunities. After finishing the courses, students are often offered placements in jobs. Vocational trainings in a way give students some work related experiences that many employers look for.

Vocational education/training in India is gathering huge investments from corporate and private equity (PE) firms as the methodology and technology pertaining to this sector is witnessing significant improvements. Enhancement in the demand and supply of online and correspondence courses, facilitation by government and quality improvement are the factors driving the vocational training segment.

India plans to enhance its formally skilled workforce through vocational education and training from the current 12 per cent to 25 per cent by 2017, thereby adding about 70 million people in the next five years. Hence, the higher education segment is expected to undergo intense changes and activities in terms of foreign partnerships and foreign players entering the market in the coming years, with Indian players rejuvenating and improvising their methodology, technology and course content to match the competition. Ministry of Finance, Press Information Bureau (PIB), Media Report, Ministry of Education, Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP).

India is referred to as a ’young nation’ with 28 million population of youth being added every year. Only about 2.5 million vocational training seats are available in the country whereas about 12.8 million persons enter the labour market every year. About 90 per cent of employment opportunities require vocational skills, something that is not being imparted on a large scale in schools and colleges. The major reforms proposed for bringing about necessary ‘flexibility’ in the offering of vocational courses and development of ‘modular competency based curricula’ in collaboration with industry to suit the needs of both target groups and the employers (industry) will be useful in reducing the shortage of skilled manpower.

The direct involvement of the private sector assumes importance in this regard. By systematizing the involvement of selected private sector players from different sectors both in the local as well as larger economy, it will become possible to ensure the relevance of the curriculum, both in terms of being contemporary as well as in terms of being useful for actual work conditions. Secondly, private players can also provide trainers for vocational education, and work towards apprenticeships, or internship-type of arrangements for providing hands-on experience to students. In the long run, such arrangements would benefit both employers as well as employees.

Areas in which courses can be developed are translation and interpretation, journalism, media and entertainment, tourism and travel, handicrafts and design and fine arts.

Our Company attempts to bridge the widening gap between academia and industry requirements by catering to the student base at vocational level and making them industry ready. Our vision is to be an Institute of vocational learning, focusing on developing intellectual, personal and employability skills of our students. In the Indian private educational space, Greycells is a name synonymous for a wide range of high quality educational services and content, services and satisfaction have been the 3 critical success levers in Company’s journey and they continue to be our core strengths. Industry’s changing landscape and emerging challenges, our courses are well poised to deliver talent and harness the potential of young minds. Our courses in tandem with industry are well poised to train the youth to meet the challenges of a rapidly developing society and nation.

The Company offers programs that range from skill enhancement courses to job-oriented. The comprehensive courses and content will provide segment specific guidance to make candidates the best in their chosen field. The Company focused on imparting industry relevant skill to youth to make them industry – ready and skilled personnel using quality content and practices. Vocational education is education for employability therefore all our course encourage candidates to enhance employability skills, provide additional skills, look at industries which are growing and attract value.

Today, more than 7,000 EMDI students have graduated over the last 11 years, and majority of these students are employed and work at various companies in event management, advertising, PR & media sector at various levels. Our Company is marshalling its talent pool and resources to contribute relevant, top-of-the-line work in the field

Page 12:  · of Association of the Company, Dr. Anil Naik retires by rotation as Director at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and being eligible, offers himself for reappointment. Brief

of vocational training, both in India and abroad. We are one of the very few companies providing integrated vocational training in media and entertainment space in India, Dubai and Africa.

The strength of reputation and brand name of the Company is dependent on the quality and scope of our course offerings, and we continue to devote significant resources to enhance our current offerings and develop new quality educational programs and services that are responsive to the evolving market. The mission of the Company is to create a global conglomerate that sets new standards of excellence in Education, Entertainment and Media and grooms future leaders of the industry.

3. Media and Entertainment (M&E) Industry and Developments India’s M&E industry is expected to get double in size to `1.66 trillion

(US$ 28.72 billion) by 2017, from ` 82,000 crore (US$ 14.19 billion) in 2012, which would be a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2 per cent, according to the Indian Media and Entertainment Industry Report 2013 by KPMG. While, 2012 was a challenging year for the industry, with some improvement likely in the global economy in 2013 and India’s real GDP expected to be in the region of 6.1% to 6.7%, the prognosis for the industry looks much better going forward. Given the impetus introduced by digitization, continued growth of regional media, upcoming elections, continued strength in the film sector and fast increasing media businesses, the industry is estimated to achieve a growth of 11.8 percent in 2013 to touch INR 917 billion. Going forward, the sector is projected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 15.2 percent to reach INR 1661 billion by 2017, says the FICCI – KPMG Media & Entertainment Report 2013. Moreover, the Government’s drive towards digitalization and addressability for cable television by 2014 is expected to provide a boost to direct-to-home (DTH) and digital cable growth.

Total advertising spend across media was INR 327.4 billion in 2012. In light of continued economic slowdown, advertising revenues saw a growth of 9 percent in 2012 as against 13 percent in 2011 and 17 percent in 2010. Print continues to be the largest beneficiary, accounting for 46 percent of the advertising pie at INR 150 billion. M&E is still an advertising dependent industry in India. Hence, it remains sensitive to the impact of the economic slowdown.

In a nutshell, alignment of entertainment, information and telecommunication is increasingly affecting India’s overall M&E industry. Launch of more advanced media devices over the last decade has facilitated access of the same content on a variety of media platforms. This is helping in emergence of new business models and revenue streams, not only for content providers, but for a variety of new players becoming a part of the new media ecosystem. With all these factors well-in-place, the M&E sector certainly is marching towards new horizons of growth.

India is one of the largest media consuming markets in the world, however, the size and scale of industry is limited when compared with global M&E Industry. Mature players are increasingly looking to build scale across the media value chain and explore cross media synergies. In addition, existing foreign players are looking to expand their Indian portfolio and several other are expected to make and entry into India. Inorganic growth is likely to be a preferred route for many of these players. With increased digitization and accountability, Indian media companies are also expected to generate greater interest from private equity players.

There is a very large number of young workforces already gainfully employed in the business of events and activation, and many more are entering the industry year on year. There is a need for a standardization of education qualification for the industry. Most survey respondents felt that the talent entering the event industry is inadequate. According training was the most preferred way of developing talent, which we are providing in our EMDI Institute of Media and Communication courses to the students.

4. Environment The financial year 2012–13 was a very challenging period for the

Indian economy. GDP growth slipped to 5%, which is the slowest pace of growth in the last 10 years, impacting job creation. Economic growth was impacted by the slow pace of reforms, political and policy uncertainty, foreign exchange volatility, and high interest rates. Global economic headwinds created further uncertainty for businesses and lowered business confidence.

The economic environment remained weak and was much lower than anticipated at the start of the year. The global economy grew by 3.2% during the year 2012, against the growth of 3.8% and 5.2% during the year 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the financial year 2012-13, Indian economic growth slowed to a decade low of 5.0% against 6.2% and 9.3% during the financial year 2011-12 and 2010-11, respectively.

In this environment, the education and training sector remains a key determinant of economic growth and recovery, both for India and rest of the world. Governments are increasingly looking to education and skill development to promote economic growth. Extensive funding and policy reforms are occurring in India with skills development and vocational training high on the agenda of the Government and the Planning Commission.

To stimulate and support reforms in skills development and to facilitate nationally standardized and acceptable, international comparability of qualifications, a “National Vocational Qualifications Framework” (NVQF) is being established by the Central Government. The unified system of national qualification will cover schools, vocational education and training institutions and higher education sector. NVQF will be based on nationally recognized occupational standards which details listing of all major activities that a worker must perform in the occupation or competency standards – a detailed listing of the knowledge, skills and attitude that a worker should possess to perform a task written by the particular employment-led sector skills council.

5. Union Budget 2013-14 The education is the other high priority sector for the government. In

the budget presented during the fiscal, the government has allocated 658.67 billion to education, an increase of 17% over the last year. The space left unattended by the government has been picked up by the private sector. Over the last few years, there has been a visible increase of the private companies in the sector. As per a report on the sector by a brokerage house IL&FS, private education revenues are estimated at USD 30 billion in 2012 and are expected to grow at 19% and reach USD 45 billion by 2015. The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and the Right to Education Act are firmly in place. The government allocated 272.58 billion for SSA in 2013-14.

6. Outlook Vocational Training is the ‘sun rise’ industry. The Company will

continue its process of exploring the potential in additional areas of related service offerings. These new developments will have a positive impact on the Company in the years to come. The Company plans to continue to expand its brand and product portfolios and its service and distribution networks in India and abroad in the near future, both organically and inorganically via strategic acquisitions and associations.

The Company believes that growth is planned & focused and based on efficient use of available resources to grow the business and we plan to retain and strengthen our leadership position in the marketplace. The Company will endeavor to be ‘partner by choice’ to both the industry and students and thereby increase the number of students multifold in the years to come.

Greycells shall continue to look for strategic opportunities in the acquisition are as well as fast and efficient penetration into the Indian domestic market for organic growth. The Company will continue to seek to pursue selective strategic acquisitions, majority investments and joint venture investments to augment its capabilities, broaden its service offerings and increase its geographic presence and to tap the huge unexplored markets both at domestic front as well as global front.

Our objective is to impart quality education through standardized and innovative teaching methods and emerge as an integrated education service provider in India. Our vision has to be broad enough to be able to see how we make the individual productive in changing world and what role education and learning can play in it. A broad vision such as this helps crafts a corporate strategy that creates superior value for our shareholders. Your Company has continued its journey towards capitalization of the opportunities presented by the rapidly expanding education market.

7. Opportunities and Threats Opportunities The Company will look to maximise locations of presence and

verticals in education to reach out to the student community and provide world class education. The Company shall seek to build on strengths and the management expertise and have to build a value based organisation that will come to dominate the media education industry.

Being a largely under-penetrated field, the education industry in India holds enormous opportunities for growth. While the entry barriers are likely to stay high for new companies in the near future, those that have already established themselves are likely to see tremendous growth. This is mainly due to the growing awareness of the need for quality education as well as the increasing population of students in the country, which are likely to lead to companies

Page 13:  · of Association of the Company, Dr. Anil Naik retires by rotation as Director at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and being eligible, offers himself for reappointment. Brief

ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13

in the industry adopting operation models that can enable them to overcome both rigid regulations as well as low scalability. In areas of services, expertise and knowledge, your Company with its team of professionals is expected to tap the potential opportunities for growth.

The Company is always trying to push the envelope on ways to leverage the opportunities to provide high quality education content to students. It is trying to bring these to the students in every manner in which they would like to utilize it – through varying formats, styles and different devises. The Company has been on the forefront of heralding the next advancement in learning, thus becoming a distinctive player in bringing knowledge to students across geographical and cultural borders.

The Company will look at presence both domestic and internationally as in locations, collaboration with leading universities/education institutions to deliver courses to their existing students and resource/research opportunities globally. This shall mean a multifaceted and multi cultural education imparting entities with focus on world class education and standards. The Company plans to continue to expand its brand, scalability and distribution networks through franchisee/business associates in India and abroad.

The Company by geographic coverage strengthening its presence in business with a clear focused approach which would help increase revenue growth, improve profitability as well as de-risk the company from economic slowdowns. The Company will continue to tap opportunity to grow its business both organically and inorganically via strategic acquisitions in India and abroad.

The growing acceptance of vocational institutes and the focus on the media and entertainment sector as a serious career option in the minds of parents, key decision makers, students alike – will ensure that courses presented by Greycells are readily accepted in the market.

In this environment, Greycells strengthened its position by building strong credentials as one of the largest providers of vocational and professional skills across various service sectors. Given the above credentials, the Company is uniquely positioned to take advantage of both the long term trend towards improvement of education and skill levels as well as increasing outsourcing in India and overseas. The Company’s diverse operations are testament to its firm focus and strength. The Company is continuously looking for avenues for future growth in education industry and geared up to grab the business opportunities available in India as well as internationally.

Threats However, India continues to face stern challenges. Despite growing

investment in education, 35% of its population is still illiterate; only 15% of Indian students reach high school, and just 7% graduate. Indian Education system is facing challenges like “poor quality of education” and “access to education”. Both these challenges lead to the underperformance of the education system. The further challenges are uneducated & untrained population, irrelevance of courses, inadequate syllabus, inadequate practical training, poor enrolment, high drop-outs, lack of employment opportunities etc. Low enrollments and high dropout rates all though the chain, results in a very inadequate supply to the organized work force.

The education business has seen the entry of host of new players in almost all the sectors we have established our presence. Education as a business is one of high growth prospects with presence of a mix of various professional academies, private and public schools, international schools/academies, private tutors, government schools etc. The Company operates in a highly competitive environment that is subject to innovations, changes and varying levels of resources available to each players. This can be a matter of concern if the company does not adapt to the changing face of the Industry. The company has been keeping itself abreast with the latest changes in the industry to implement the same in its operation to keep itself ahead of competition.

One of the related challenges is to attract talented people to work with the Company and also retaining the pool of this talent. The management continuously reviews its talent pool for upgradation. The Company is focused on ensuring and has implemented employee friendly policies to retain talent.

The key management is responsible for the day-to-day operations and they are indeed the key force in driving the business growth because of their experience and knowledge of industry. There is always a risk that we may lose our key management team. If key management unable or unwilling to continue with us, we may find it difficult to replace such people and our business may be adversely affected. As we are in service industry, our growth and operations are dependent on the management team.

Our success is mainly attributable to our reach, experience and quality processes. We recognize that we can only grow and prosper if we can:a. acquire and retain top quality talent on a continual basisb. execute efficiently and manage growth challengesc. education for employabilityd. deliver relevant and innovative content to the studentse. remain close to the students at all timesf. on the job trainingg. earn while you learnh. placement opportunitiesi. reorientation of vocational courses

Another large challenge is managing expectation from students. Due to the previous achieved success in the field, especially when there was the first mover advantage - if the new courses or existing courses do not live upto expectations, it may lead to dissatisfaction. The Company is well aware of these risks and challenges and has put in place mechanisms to ensure that they are managed and mitigated with adequate timely actions.

8. Segment-wise Performance The Company operates only in one segment and hence segmentwise

performance has not been given.9. Subsidiaries EMDI (Overseas) FZ LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the

Company caters into vocation of education, including teaching graduates, undergraduate and working professionals in the field of Event Management & Innovative Marketing, The Creative and Media Industry Landscape, Advertising & Design, Public Relations and Journalism, Wedding Planning, Radio Jockeying and Programming, Disc Jockeying and Music Promotion etc. in the form of class room training and workshops through general courses, specialist programs, comprehensive event and media management courses and training programs.

The joint venture company Eduhub Education Private Limited caters into business of providing vocational training in the field of event management, public relations, advertising and journalism. The Company also owns and manages the International Institute of Sports Management and imparts education and training in sports management and related areas through the Institute.

10. Risks Risk is an integral part of corporate world today for any going concern

and our endeavor has been to maximize stakeholder value by achieving an appropriate balance between risks and return. Since risk taking is intrinsic to business growth, all business entities face risks either from external environment or from internal operations. The most significant risks which the company has identified with mitigation plan are : External Risks (Political, Environment, Slowdown in economic

growth, Change in Education policy, Currency Rate Fluctuation, Competition, Changes in Law and Natural Calamities) and

Internal Risks (Business Concentration, Investment Process, Human Resource Management, Core Faculty etc.)

Further any change in tax law in India, particularly income tax and service tax might be to increase tax liability of the company thereby putting pressure on profitability.

To mitigate the same, the Company has constantly endeavored to broaden the charter of risk management to include opportunities as well as threats. It uses an integrated risk management approach, based on a number of techniques to cover the full range of risks in the framework. Today, risk assessment and mitigation is an important part of decision making and management at all levels of the company. To mitigate this, the Company will initiate steps for rationalization of infrastructure.

Apart from the regular operational & business risks, the other major risks faced by the Company are: a) Business Concentration The Company’s business today is largely concentrated in

vocational training primarily in few verticals of media and entertainment.

The poor performance of our Business Associates leads to downfall in projected revenues, which is out of our control. Further low quality services rendered by Business Associates to students may also one of the risk areas for the Company. To mitigate this risk, our senior officers frequently visit the centers and ensure that courses shall be conducted according to the Operational Manual established by the Company. The

GREYCELLS EDUCATION LIMITED

11

Company can also take corrective measures to keep up the requisite academic standards.

To mitigate the risk arising from this concentration, the Company will strive towards expanding the Company’s’ business in additional areas of related service offerings.

b) Core Faculty The faculty plays a pivotal role in the system of education.

Further majority of our faculty members are visiting faculties from various industries and are in other occupation besides teaching at our centres. Any exodus by the visiting faculties can have adverse impact on business of the company. Failure to attract / retain qualified faculty members who have the necessary domain expertise or failure to provide continuous training to our faculty members so as to keep them abreast with the changing student expectations, examination pattern and other key trends that are necessary to effectively deliver the course may affect the pace of our growth and teaching quality across all our learning centres in different locations. Also, non availability of qualified faculty in one or more of our locations may have a material and adverse effect on our business.

The lack of trained faculties will be a serious area of concern. To overcome, the Company taps professionals from relevant industry. All faculty members lecture on subjects of their expertise, resulting in experience sharing, interaction and networking of these professional with the students. The faculty members contribute to our overall performance by providing good quality training to the students and thus enable us to maintain our brand and reputation. The team of outstanding and dedicated faculty members provides comprehensive and systematic guidance to students who aspire for nothing but the best.

c) Entry of other players The lack of an entry barrier with respect to a private setup

offering similar certificate courses is a threat. Centres offering similar courses are the first level of competition, however competition which enters the market, offers a poor product and then is forced to shut down later on is even worse as it spoils the education market and trust towards the other credible players.

d) Enrollment of students The Company’s ability to attract students to enroll for courses

depend on several factors such as to offer new courses, enhancing existing courses in response to changing industry needs, student’s demands, expanding our geographic reach, effectively marketing courses to a broader base of prospective students and responding to competitive pressures. Our course content incorporates the latest global trends and concepts, which required by fast growing and ever changing industry. Further the Company’s course content is developed by subject experts possessing long years of academic and industry related experience. The content so created is constantly upgraded to suit the requirements of the educational institutions and expectations of the student community. Our courses are structured and embellished with inspirational modules to make learning holistic and complete. Given the industry’s changing landscape and emerging challenges, our courses are well poised to deliver talent and harness the potential of young minds. To be an institute of vocational learning, focusing on developing intellectual, personal and employability skills of our students. Further our course curriculum designed with a focus on ensuing gainful employment.

11. Social Responsibility Your Company believes in being a responsible part of the community

and contributing back to it in every possible manner. SWAT (Students Working Against Tobbaco) is a youth initiative initiated by EMDI and its students against tobacco, operating at an awareness platform. The objective of SWAT is to urge India’s youth to stay away from the ravages and dangers of smoking. The purpose is to persuade young people to never try smoking and to encourage those who are trying to get rid of the habit of smoking. The SWAT team has taken various initiatives in the form of events to spread this message over the years by organizing Smoke Free Bike Rally, College Festival Activities, Candle Walk, Loud and Proud Smoke Free Rock Concert etc.

Another Social Initiative of the company is a Don’t Drink and Drive campaign. According to statistics that are available with the Home Ministry, out of the 75,000 road accidents, 75% are due to the human errors which include drunken and rash driving. The accidents owing to drunken driving have increased considerably. Innumerable lives have been lost. The EMDI initiative, ‘IF BAR, NO CAR’ aims at

highlighting the consequences of drinking and driving. EMDI students walked the stretch, in their bid to educate people, especially the youth with placards carrying messages like ‘Stay Alive’, Don’t Drink and Drive’, ‘You Booze, You Cruise, You Lose’, ‘Drive Hammered, Get Slammered’ by organizing rally.

Our business is focused on delivering good products and services to our customers and creating wealth for our shareholders; we must also be mindful of our contribution to society and use our finite capital and time to contribute to advancing the wealth of knowledge in society and making the lives of young people more fulfilling.

12. Internal Control Systems The Company recognizes the importance of internal controls and

has suitable internal control systems and processes in place for the smooth conduct of the business. Company’s internal controls are commensurate with its size and nature of its business. Internal control systems in the Company are intended to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use and all transactions are executed in accordance with Management’s authorization and properly and promptly recorded and accounting records are adequate for the preparation of financial statements and other financial information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTTo the Board of Directors of Greycells Education Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Greycells Education Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries constitutes “the group”), which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2013, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows of the Group in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of the subsidiaries, whose financial statements reflect total assets of `173.81 lacs as at 31st March, 2013, total revenues of ` 512.41 lacs and total expenditure ` 470.28 lacs for the year ended on that date, as considered in the consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of the subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors on the financial statements of the subsidiaries, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

(a) in the case of the consolidated Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31st March , 2013;

(b) in the case of the consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, loss of the Group for the year ended on that date; and

(c) in the case of the consolidated Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date.

Matter of Emphasis

We draw attention to note 34 to the consolidated financial statements, which states the that although the net worth of one of the subsidiary – EMDI (Overseas) FC LLC is completely eroded the same is consolidated on going concern basis for reasons stated in the said note.

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a. Accounting Convention

The Accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Companies Act, 1956 and in all material aspects with applicable accounting standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on following basis:

i) The Financial Statements of Subsidiaries have been combined on the line by line basis by adding together the book value of like items of assets, liabilities, income, expenditure after eliminating intra-group balances and intra-group transactions resulting in unrealized profits or losses.

ii) The consolidated financial statements are prepared by adopting uniform accounting policies for like transactions or other events in similar circumstances and are presented to the extent possible, in the same manner as the parent company's financial statements.

iii) The functional currency of the Parent Company is Indian Rupee. The functional currency of the subsidiary is its respective local currency. Its accounts are converted from its local currency to Indian Rupees in the following manner :

All income and expenses items are translated at the average rate of exchange applicable for the period. All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate as on Balance Sheet date. The equity share capital is stated at the exchange rate at the date of investment. The exchange difference arising out of the year/period end translation is debited or credited to Foreign Currency Translation Account.

iv) The difference between the Company's cost of investment in the subsidiaries over its portion of equity at the time of acquisition of shares is recognized in the consolidated financial statements as Goodwill or Capital Reserve as the case may be.

b. Revenue Recognition

The Group follows the mercantile system of accounting and recognizes income and expenditure on accrual basis. Income from the student fees are recognized over the period of instruction of course. Non-refundable premier relationship fees receivable under business association agreements are taken to income as and when due.

Dividend income is accounted for as and when declared.

c. Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are carried at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation / amortization.

a) The Group provides depreciation on tangible fixed assets as per written down value method at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.

b) Intangible assets are amortized as under :

i) Goodwill over the period of five years. ii) Trade Mark over the period of ten years. iii) Capital expenditure on office improvement is amortized equally over the lease period

d. Impairment of Assets

At each balance sheet date the Group reviews the carrying value of assets for any possible impairment. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is the higher of net realizable amount as on the Balance Sheet date and the present value of the economic benefit resulting from the future use of the asset.

e. Investments

Investments are capitalized at cost of acquisition plus incidental expenses. Provision for diminution in the value of long term investments is made in accordance with Accounting Standard 13 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

f. Employee Benefits

The Company provides for gratuity benefits to its employees as per the provisions of The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The gratuity benefit scheme is unfunded and provision for the same is made on actuarial basis.

g. Foreign Currency Translation

Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year are recognized in the profit & loss account of the year.

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency, which are outstanding as at the year end are translated at the year end at the closing exchange rate & resultant exchange difference are recognized in the profit & loss account.

Non monetary assets & non-monetary liabilities denomination in foreign currency and are measured at historical cost are translated at exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction.

h. Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes to accounts.

i. Taxation

Provision for taxation has been made in accordance with the Income Tax laws prevailing for the relevant assessment years.

j. Deferred Tax

Deferred tax assets / liabilities resulting from timing differences between book and tax profits is accounted for at the current rate of tax to the extent that the timing differences are expected to crystallise in future. Deferred tax assets in respect of carried forward business losses and unabsorbed depreciation as per Income Tax provisions is recognized only if there is virtual certainty of recoupment of the same out of future taxable income.
