1. INDUSTRy OVERVIEWIndian Telecommunication (Telecom) IndustrySince the Indian telecom sector was liberalized in 1994, it has witnessed phenomenal growth. Valued at over USD 100 billion today, it is contributing approximately 13% to the GDP. In a landmark achievement, India crossed the 400-million mark in telephone connections at the end of January 2009 from just 10 million a decade ago. The country is the second-biggest market for wireless services (lagging only China), adding close to 10 million mobile subscribers every month. Geographical coverage of mobile telephony has gone up from 13%, a couple of years ago to 39% now. From two operators in each circle in 1995, there are now 8 pan- India operators offering the Indian consumer unprecedented choice and low tariffs.

The wireless sector has been supported by higher disposable incomes, falling tariffs, increased affordability of handsets and a progressive regulatory regime. Notwithstanding the industry’s rapid growth and development, both the mobile and fixed-line density remain low, indicating sound growth prospects over the medium term. Despite the economic slowdown, the telecom industry continues on a dynamic growth path. External interest in the industry remains high, and cross-border investment has gathered pace. Analysts are optimistic about the sector’s future growth given the wide spectrum of socio-economic categories from which demand for telecom services is emerging. The qualitative impact a mobile has on life and the quantitative impact on one’s profession are key to rising demand in the sector.
With saturation in urban and metro markets, industry players need to acquire new subscribers by expanding in semi-urban and rural areas and sell more services to existing subscribers. As the new subscriptions will largely happen at the bottom of the pyramid, they will lead to a reduction in the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). The decrease can also be attributed to the structure of the Indian mobile market where 92% of the subscriber base is on pre-paid connection. This again implies that most of the subscribers added are from the bottom of the pyramid with low usage resulting in low ARPU. With new licenses being offered, the number of Operators in the already crowded market is set to go up, which will bring with it further price cuts in airtime and for basic
messaging. In this scenario, Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) is a potential long term-revenue stream. Not only does it lead to an increase in the ARPU, it also acts as a differentiator between operators. Besides, consumers today seek more from their communication devices than just mobility and connectivity and MVAS serves this very need.
Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS)
Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) are enhanced services which add value to basic teleservices. These are not part of the basic voice offer and are availed separately by the end user. The size of the MVAS market (as of June 2008) is Rs. 5780 crores.
It currently contributes over 10-14% of the total revenue of mobile telecom service providers. This is expected to rise to over 30% in the next 5-7 years.
Based on the need fulfillment of the end user, MVAS can be put into three broad categories:
Entertainment VAS – E.g. – Jokes, Ringtones, Caller Ring Back Tones (CRBT), Mobile Radio. This drives the VAS market in terms of volume as well as revenue.
Information VAS – E.g. – Movie reviews, News, Astrology, Stock updates. This is gradually getting popular depending on relevance.
mCommerce VAS (Transactional services) – E.g. - Mobile Banking, Mobile payments. This is currently in the embryonic stage.
2. OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGESOpportunities The Department of Telecom (DoT) has projected that the country will have a billion mobile phones by 2014. India’s population is expected to be 1.26 billion in the same year, and with mobile penetration at 1.01 billion, the mobile teledensity would be upwards of 80%. This probably reflects the world’s largest new growth opportunity over the next five years, surpassing even China’s potential. To reach this figure, it would be imperative to redefine spectrum allocation and pricing policies, conduct 3G auctions earlier and review M&A norms.
Management Discussion and Analysis
48 4948 49
Competition is set to intensify further with the commencement of services by new UASL 1 and 3G licensees. Analysts believe 3G wireless broadband is going to mark a quantum leap in wireless communication in the country. Services like high speed internet access and video calls on the mobile will become possible through 3G. The development of 3G networks will also provide impetus to rural development initiatives such as e-governance, e-health and e-education. Rural areas will be a major growth driver for the industry. India’s rural teledensity currently stands at less than 13%, while teledensity in major urban centres has reached 82%. However, it is expected that initially, the additional spectrum will be used to address the current congestion concerns and the 3G related data services will take some time to make a significant impact.
The above scenario is expected to provide a major boost to the MVAS market. Operators are investing heavily in reaching out to customers more effectively to make them aware of various services being offered to them. Increase in user base, price decline in MVAS services, new technology adoption (like 3G, NGN) by operators and the entry of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) are the some of the factors that will propel the MVAS market to grow to Rs. 16520 crores by June 2010. Development of regional and linguistic content including vernacular news portals, devotional ringtones, etc will give a further boost to the MVAS market. Entertainment VAS is expected to remain the VAS driver for the next few years. Information VAS is going to be the key to address the growing rural market. Mobile marketing, mobile banking and location based services (providing relevant and timely information to users based on their location) are some of the MVAS that are likely to grow significantly in the coming years.
Consumers in other Emerging Markets exhibit similar characteristics and usage behavior relative to their Indian counterparts. This includes high percentage or prepaid consumers, local and regional language constraints, low ARPU’s, handsets purchased independent of the mobile connection and limited adoption of data services. Replicating the successes with VAS in India, the selection of products offered and the best practices gained from the current deployments into these Emerging Market countries provide an opportunity for International growth.
In developed countries like Europe and North America, subscriber growth has slowed down dramatically and mobile penetration in some countries has exceeded 100% of the population. In these conditions where airtime prices are under severe pressure and subscriber retention is critical, Data and Value Added Services are the primary tools for the Operator to differentiate their service offering. App Stores that enable consumers to directly download mobile applications opens a new market opportunity.
ChallengesMeeting ever changing needs and tastes of customers including language needs across regions will provide a major challenge to both telecom operators as well as MVAS players. MVAS will have to be made more relevant to the emerging set of users. There is an urgent need to develop new technology and consolidate the industry.
High cost, limited awareness of services, language barriers and limited availability of local content are some of the factors that prevent MVAS from growing even faster. A stringent regulatory framework for VAS has become critical not only to encourage content creators and protect their copyrights, but also to encourage investment particularly Foreign Direct Investment in the sector.
Currently, the MVAS market in India is focused around entertainment, music and sports. It is usually the younger demographic that uses such services. Thus, there is a need to focus on other VAS such as Information VAS and Transaction VAS so that the consumer base extends to all sections of the population. Security concerns persist in the usage of mCommerce and adequate measures need to be taken before this service can take off in a big way. With growing number of operators, the task of aligning with operators across circles would prove to be another big challenge for MVAS players.
With new VAS services being introduced every week, ensuring consumer awareness has become that much more of a challenge. As SMS is used as the main channel for generating awareness for these new applications, consumers are not fully aware of the services given that the SMS is sent in English. High cost of content is another challenge that makes content-intensive services less cost efficient.
3. OUTLOOKOver 92 customers (telecom operators, media houses, mCommerce players, data service providers) in 22 countries rely on the Company to bring VAS to over 600 million consumers. The Company has offices in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Singapore, Paris, Jakarta, London, Kuala Lumpur, Dhaka, Seattle and Sydney. Its long term relationships with blue-chip operators, a business model that aligns with the interests of its customers, continuous innovation and understanding of consumer tastes and preferences give it an edge over its competitors. Through strategic global acquisitions including that of Telisma S.A in 2008, constant technical and process innovation, end-to-end solutions, wide product portfolio, time-to-market speed and assured quality, OnMobile is strongly positioned to lead the fast growing MVAS market around the world and become one of the leading global providers of MVAS.

What is Risk Management?
Risk management is the discipline of identifying, monitoring and limiting
risks. Risk can be defined as the volatility of unexpected outcome or
in other words, risk is exposure to uncertainty. Therefore risk has two
components: The uncertainty and the exposure to that uncertainty and
risk management is the process by which the abovementioned uncertainty
and exposures are identified, measured and controlled.
The company believes that it is imperative to manage risk optimally to
compete and grow and that the time has come for an affirmative action
on risk management.
The paragraphs below discuss the risks that the company is exposed to
and the steps taken to manage the same.
1. Revenue Concentration
Revenue concentration can be classified as client concentration,
geographic concentration, product concentration and industry
concentration.
Client concentration: The Company derives a significant portion
of its revenue from a few major carrier customers, as these carrier
customers continue to dominate the market share of the Indian
telecommunications industry. For the Fy 2008-09, the five largest
customers, accounted for approximately 70% of the total net revenue
as against 77% for the Fy 2007-08. As a result of this concentration,
any loss of a major carrier customer or renegotiation of contracts
on terms unfavorable to the company or any significant decreases
in spending by some or all of the end-user subscribers of the top
five customers on the company’s services may affect the company’s
revenue, profitability and results of operations.
Geographic concentration: The Company derives a significant portion
of its revenue from India as its top customers consist of the major
telecommunications operators in India. The Company derived 77%
of its total revenue from India in Fy 2008-09 as against 85% in Fy
2007-08. Concentration of revenue from any country exposes the
company to the risks specific to the country’s economic condition,
global trade policies, local laws, and political environment.
Product concentration: The Company currently depends on music
related services, including ringback tones, ringtone downloads and
music messaging applications, for approximately 54% of its revenue.
The company expects to continue to derive a significant portion of
its revenue from these application services in the next few years.
This exposes the company to risks relating product concentration. A
decrease in the popularity of music related services among mobile
phone users, or a failure by the company to maintain, improve, update
or enhance such services in a timely manner, enter into new markets,
or successfully diversify its products and services could affect the
company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Industry concentration: The company is a leading provider of
telecommunications value added software products and services
in India with an expanding international presence. Its products are
primarily targeted at end-user telecommunications subscribers and
hence expose the company to the risk of industry concentration.
The company’s revenue may be affected by competition and pricing
pressures and decisions implemented in the telecommunications
industry.
The company endeavors to de-risk from these by ensuring that the
revenues from any one of Customer, Product or Geography is below
a threshold value. This is done with geographical expansion and
product innovation, through organic and inorganic means.
Mitigation of risk through organic route involves expansion of
the company’s geographic presence to new carrier customers by
leveraging its expertise and track record in India. In Fy 2008-09,
the company entered into contracts with 8 new wireless carriers
in Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka for
management of telecommunications value added services.
The company believes that the telecommunication value added
services industry is evolving rapidly due to the development of more
sophisticated handsets, advanced network infrastructure, increasing
consumer acceptance and the availability of rich and varied content
and services for end-users. Thus, it is imperative for the company to
focus on developing and launching innovative new products that tap
into consumer preferences across the markets it serves. The company
also takes advantage of the its leading market position in India to
launch, test and develop innovative applications and services with its
existing carrier customers, thereby expanding the breadth of services,
as well as extend these new applications and services in new
international markets as they become commercially viable. Examples
of innovative new products launched by the company during the Fy
2008-09 are M-Search, cross operator press * to copy and others. As
we expand to other markets, we intend to replicate the best practices
from one market to other relevant markets.
Risk Management
56 5756 57
The company has a pipeline of software products under development
and expects to supplement these with products and technology that
it may acquire.
Mitigation of risk through inorganic route involves continually
seeking new growth and acquisition opportunities in its existing line
of business as well as related businesses to expand its geographic
presence and product offerings. For example, in December 2006, the
company acquired a majority stake in ITfinity, a mobile technology
software specialist with an expertise in the development of mobile
data products based in Mumbai, which subsequently merged with it
in May 2007. In September 2007, the company acquired Voxmobili
S.A., a Paris-based global provider of personal data management,
wireless synchronization and embedded client solutions. In July 2008,
the company acquired Telisma S.A., a French company, which provides
specialized advice and services in the communication, telematic, and
interactive service fields and provides a wide range of Software
services, in particular voice recognition software services, for telecom
companies. The company will pursue similar opportunities in other
regions to strengthen and grow its business, including investment
in or acquisition of minority or majority stakes in companies which
support its business and product strategy.
2. White labeled application and service provider
Majority of the Company’s contracts with its customers are on a
revenue-sharing basis, which means that it earns revenues only if
the customers’ end-users use the services offered by the company. As
a result, the company’s revenue is subject to uncertainties that are
beyond its control, such as
• marketacceptanceof itsapplicationservicesby itscustomers’
end-user subscribers
• thesubscriberchurnrateand
• Dependenceon thepricingof the services, product placement
and marketing / promotion activities conducted by its customers
either jointly with the company or solely.
None of the contracts obligate the company’s customers to market
or distribute any of its applications or services to their end-user
subscribers. Without the appropriate marketing, promotion and
pricing of the services by the customers, the subscribers may not be
aware of, or may cease to use, or decrease usage of, the company’s
applications and services thus affecting the financial performance of
the company.
Generally in the past, the company has enjoyed good positioning on
its customers’ menus and websites due to its continued focus on the
development of innovative products, a creative user interface and a
good understanding of consumer needs. The company has had a track
record of creating, developing and successfully launching innovative
software product applications such as M-search, cross operator Press
* to copy, OnMobile Developer Network and others, which validates
the above.
The company believes that it should continue to focus and invest
in research and development so as to remain at the forefront of
developments in the telecommunication industry and to develop new
and differentiated products and services / upgrade or improve the
existing ones, for each of its customers. The same is being translated
into action, as is reflected in the increase in the size and investment
in Research and Development team. The number of employees and
expenditure incurred on Research and Development as on March 31,
2009 was 399 and Rs.497million as against 262 and Rs. 164million
as on March 31, 2008.
3. Intellectual Property
The company’s success also depends on its proprietary technology
and know-how i.e intellectual property. The company’s intellectual
property includes its registered intellectual property rights, including
patents and patent applications made in relation to various inventive
products and processes and registered, as well as unregistered rights
in intellectual property including copyrights in relation to software.
The company believes that Intellectual property protection is also a
key for continued business success.
The company relies on a combination of patent, copyright,
trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure,
such as confidentiality provisions and non-disclosure agreements,
to protect its intellectual property rights. As of march 31, 2009, it
has two registered trademarks. The trademark and logo “OnMobile”
is registered with the Trademarks Registry in Mumbai, India and
trademark “OnMobile – True Mobility” is registered with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office. The company has applied to
register 4 other trademarks with the Trademarks Registry in India
and has filed 32 patent applications (includes patents filed under
the Patents Co-operation Treaty (PCT) filings) with the Indian Patents
Office and under the PCT. Additionally the company enters into
confidentiality agreements with its customers when it discloses
56 5756 57
proprietary information to them and confidentiality agreements /
invention assignment agreements with certain of its employees and
consultants.
The company will continue to make significant investments in the
creation of Intellectual Property and safeguarding of the same
both operationally and legally which would include monitoring
unauthorised use of the company’s technology and applications and
resorting to litigation to enforce its intellectual property rights.
4. Legal and Statutory Compliances
An important element of the company’s growth and business strategy
is expansion of its geographic presence by targeting markets in which
it does not currently provide services, organically through setting up
branches and subsidiaries and inorganically through acquisitions.
However, it has limited experience in global expansion, and thus
is exposed to the following risks, in relation to legal and statutory
compliances in India and countries outside India:
• legal uncertainties or unanticipated changes in regulatory
requirements, liability, export and import restrictions, tariffs and
other trade barriers;
• Uncertaintiesoflawsandenforcementrelatingtotheprotection
of intellectual property.
• burdensorcostofcomplyingwithawidevarietyofforeignlaws
and regulations, including unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements and ;
• foreignexchangecontrolsthatmightpreventthecompanyfrom
repatriating income earned in countries outside India;
Any of the foregoing risks would expose the company to the risk of
penal action by the local Governments and statutory authorities of
India and countries outside India which could impact the brand and
reputation of the Company.
In order to mitigate above mentioned risks, the company has a team
of legal experts positioned at the head-office who review all the
legal agreements/ contracts entered into by the company. Also in
all countries including India, where the company has operations,
external consultants and service providers in the areas of payroll,
accounting, audit , legal and others, based out of those countries,
are engaged to ensure that all the legal and statutory compliances
of the country is adhered to. Also before a service is launched in
a new country/location, a detailed study which involves acquiring
knowledge of the local laws, regulations and statutes is conducted
jointly with our tax consultants.
A well-designed framework consisting of checklists and proper
reporting mechanisms incorporating inclusion of Statutory and
Regulatory compliances as a scope of the internal audit every quarter
ensures that the company in adhering to the compliances.
5. Financial Reporting and Internal controls
The financial statements of the company are prepared in accordance
with Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles comprising
of mandatory Accounting Standards prescribed by the Company
Accounting Standards Rules, 2006. The preparation of the financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires that the management
makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from
these estimates; hence these estimates carry inherent reporting risks.
Also absence of well defined internal controls across the organisation
could affect the efficiency of operations and utilization of resources.
To mitigate the above risks, the Company has a well defined
organizational structure, documented policy guidelines, defined
authority matrix and internal controls to ensure efficiency of
operations, compliance with internal policies and applicable laws
and regulations as well as protection of resources. Moreover, the
Company continuously upgrades these systems in line with the best
available practices. The adequacy of the internal control systems is
also verified extensively by the internal auditors every quarter. The
report is placed before the audit committee for their review and
discussion. The audit committee meets the auditors separately every
quarter, in absence of the management, to ensure independence of
the auditors and to discuss the Company’s accounting principles and
policies as applied to its financial reporting. Also the audit committee
reviews the scope of internal audit on a timely basis.
The internal control system is also supplemented by regular reviews
by management and extensive audits undertaken by consultants at
the request of the management. The Company has also put in place
an extensive budgetary and other control and review mechanism,
whereby the management regularly reviews actual performance with
reference to the budget and forecasts.

6. Foreign exchange
Currently the company transacts its business primarily in Indian Rupees and, to a lesser extent, in Singapore dollars, U.S. dollars, Euros, Indonesian Rupiah, Malaysian Ringets, Great Britain Pounds, Bangladesh Taka and Australian dollars. In financial year 2008-09, it derived approximately 23 % of its total net revenue from its overseas business as compared to 15% in financial year 2007-08. However, to the extent these currencies depreciate against the Indian Rupee, the revenue that the company reports in Indian Rupees will be negatively affected. Conversely, an appreciation of these currencies against the Indian Rupee would increase its revenue reported in the Indian Rupee and would also increase its expenses incurred in those currencies. In other words, fluctuations of exchange rate impact the profitability of the company thus exposing it to foreign exchange risk.
While the company has not engaged in exchange rate hedging activities in the past due to the size of its operations, it intends to continue to maximize the available opportunity of natural hedging to mitigate these risks in the future. The Company monitors net foreign exchange exposure and does not enter into any speculative transaction. Also, the gains or losses on foreign exchange transactions are reported to, and reviewed by the Audit Committee every quarter.
7. Fixed assets
The company operates as a “one-stop-shop” for its customers by providing end-to-end managed service solutions. Such end-to-end solutions include hardware and software platforms, application development, infrastructure management and customer support, including software maintenance, hardware support and help desk services. Consequentially, the service deployments with major carrier customers involve complex hardware systems and software applications deeply embedded within the carrier’s network infrastructure and integrated into the carrier’s billing, provisioning, service management, customer care and other core network systems. This requires the company to invest in a huge amount of capital assets. The total capital expenditure during the year ending March 31, 2009 was more than Rs 600 million as against Rs 850 million as on March 31, 2008. Moreover, the assets which are in the nature of servers and cards are located at the customer sites. Though the title to the assets belongs to the company, it is exposed to the risk of diluted physical control over the assets and natural calamities/ theft that might occur at the sites over which the company has little control.
To mitigate the above risks, the company has taken the following steps. It has insured all the assets which are maintained at the various customer sites. Also the company is ensuring the all the assets which are located at the customer’s sites are clearly demarcated from the customer assets. The management has conducted a physical verification of servers and cards in the past and henceforth will conduct physical verification of all servers and cards once every three financial years.
8. People
A successful technical and business team enables the company to continue identifying and developing innovative products and solutions, deepen and expand customer relationships and pursue acquisitions to grow its business. Hence, future success and ability of the company to maintain a competitive position and implement its business strategy are dependent to a large degree on its ability to identify, attract, train and retain people with skills that enable the company to keep pace with growing demands and evolving industry standards.
In the current scenario, qualified individuals are in high demand and competition for qualified engineers and personnel in the industry is fiercely intense. Hence, recruitment and retention of best talent across the globe is a key challenge.
The company intends to continue identifying, attracting, training and retaining highly skilled qualified engineers and personnel. It believes in hiring individuals with vision, creativity and the energy to lead the changes that take place in the telecommunications industry each day. Consequentially, the company continues to tap into the campus talent pool, attracting the best and brightest from the country’s top Engineering colleges.
Also, the company offers its employees a unique blend of an informal work environment and a corporate culture that encourages personal empowerment and it has always believed in creating an environment where the employees feel safe and secure.
Training is one of the means of continuously enhancing the skills, knowledge and attitudes of its employees to make them more effective in their current and future roles. The company has and will continue to make significant investments in the technical and product training of its people. It also proposes to focus on assessment of competencies and building leadership skills for a large number of its employees to enable them to be effective managers in this process of growth that the company is going through.
9. Investment mix
During the financial year 2007-08, the Company completed a Public Issue of 10,900,545 Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each for cash at a price of Rs. 440/- each aggregating to Rs. 4,79.62 Crores out of which, Rs. 378.99 Crores was on Primary issue of equity shares.
The IPO proceeds are being and will be utilized towards the objects as mentioned in the prospectus. The surplus funds including the cash generated through operations are invested in high quality interest bearing liquid instruments including money market mutual funds, deposits with banks, for the necessary duration. The Audit Committee of the company constantly reviews its investment policy and ensures adherence to the same.

The company accounted the above options using the intrinsic value method and thus, the difference between the fair value of the underlying shares in the year of grant and the options exercise value was charged to the profit and loss account. Accordingly, the compensation charge thereon in the current year is Rs.0.06 Million (previous year-Rs.1.41 Million)
The guidance note issued by the Institute of chartered Accountants of India requires the disclosure of pro forma net results and EpS both basic & diluted, had the company adopted the fair value method. Had the company accounted the option under fair value method, amortising the stock compensation expense thereon over the vesting period, the reported profit for the year ended March 31, 2009 would have been lower by Rs. 26.12 Million (previous year- Rs. 27.00 Million) and Basic and diluted EpS would have been revised to Rs.11.8/- (previous year- Rs. 9.4/-) and Rs. 11.4/- (previous year- Rs. 8.7/-) respectively as compared to Rs. 12.2/- (previous year- Rs. 9.9/-)and Rs. 11.8/- (previous year- Rs. 9.2/-) without such impact.
The fair value of stock based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, requiring subjective assumptions which greatly affect the calculated values. The said fair value of the options have been calculated using Black-Scholes option pricing model, considering the expected term of the options to be 2 years (previous year-4.8 years), a “Nil” (previous year-1%) expected dividend rate on the underlying equity shares, volatility in the share price of 61% (previous year-Range of 21% to 59%) and a risk free rate of 7%(previous year-8%). The company’s calculations are based on a single option valuation approach, and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the share price during the year after eliminating the abnormal price fluctuations.

Examples of such estimates includes provision for doubtful debts, future obligations under employee benefit plans, income taxes and the useful lives of fixed assets.

Revenue from Other Services including maintenance services is recognized proportionately over the period during which the services are rendered as per the terms of contract.

The Company accounted the above options using the intrinsic value
method and thus, the difference between the fair value of the underlying
shares in the year of grant and the options exercise value was charged
to the profit and loss account. Accordingly, the compensation charge
thereon in the current year is Rs. 0.06 Million (Previous year - Rs. 1.41
Million).
The guidance note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India requires the disclosure of pro forma net results and EPS both
basic & diluted, had the Company adopted the fair value method. Had
the Company accounted the option under fair value method, amortising
the stock compensation expense thereon over the vesting period, the
reported profit for the year ended March 31, 2009 would have been
lower by Rs. 26.12 Million (Previous year- Rs. 27.00 Million) and Basic
and diluted EPS would have been revised to Rs. 14.3 (Previous year-
Rs. 12.0) and Rs. 13.8 (Previous year- Rs. 11.1) respectively as compared
to Rs. 14.8 (Previous year- Rs. 12.6)and Rs. 14.3 (Previous year- Rs. 11.6)
without such impact.
The fair value of stock based awards to employees is calculated through
the use of option pricing models, requiring subjective assumptions which
greatly affect the calculated values. The said fair value of the options have
been calculated using Black-Scholes option pricing model, considering
the expected term of the options to be 2 years (Previous year-4.8 years), a
“Nil” (Previous year-1%) expected dividend rate on the underlying equity
shares, volatility in the share price of 61% (Previous year-Range of 21%
to 59%) and a risk free rate of 7%(Previous year-8%). The Company’s
calculations are based on a single option valuation approach, and
forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The expected volatility is based
on historical volatility of the share price during the year after eliminating
the abnormal price fluctuations.

Variation:
It is proposed to amend the ESOP Plan I 2007 and ESOP Plan III, 2008 pursuant to clause 7.4 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 to vary the terms & conditions of ESOP 2007 in terms of changes in the vesting period.
The Company had approved the following vesting schedule for the ESOP Plan I 2007 and ESOP Plan III 2008:
Existing Vesting Schedule: 25% to vest at the end of 1 year and the remaining to vest over a period of next three years at the rate of 1/36th every month.

Period Vesting Proportion
At the end of one year from the date of Grant 25%
At the end of two years from the date of Grant 25%
At the end of three years from the date of Grant 25%
At the end of four years from the date of Grant 25%
The maximum period of vesting may extend up to 4 years from the date of grant of options under the above plans.
