Your company remains a preferred supplier for several software requirements. Stockbrokers are
showing a renewed interest in our software which is of the highest quality. Additionally, ERP
system for manufacturing, processing and stock control has been the focus of the company.
In the stock markets, SEBI has increased compliance regulations exponentially and the result is
that several brokers are preferring to shut down the business rather than comply with all the
regulations. Keeping this in mind, the focus of the Company has shifted to other products
especially Online opening of Accounts for Stockbrokers.
The mobile market in India is the second largest in the world after China, and Mobile applications
developed by your company have shown great acceptance and will continue to be the prime mover.
The Global Mobile Applications market is poised to grow at a sustained rate and the number of
users of smart phones will soon cross more than half the population of the country. The Online
KYC package - and itâs Mobile versions - developed by your Company has been accepted by
Extremely large Broking houses.
The Online KYC model so far has been targeted at very large broking houses. To cater to smaller
brokers, the software is being modified to be offered in a SAAS (Software As A Service)
configuration.
Absence of skilled manpower, high cost of development, high cost of user acquisition, competition
driven by independent and freelance developers and the high cost of marketing are major
impediments to growth.
With the release of our KYC package, we envisage many brokers accepting the system. Since this
is virtually independent of SEBI regulations, we see a bright future for the product.
The pandemic has mostly affected the business and the possibility of meeting potential new
customers has reduced to a great extent. Also, with the new compliances being brought in for
Stockbrokers by SEBI the number of brokers giving up their membership is increasing.
1. The first major problem developed in recent times subject to added different legal laws and norms.
2. Another major problem the need to develop the optimum mix of employees. A big
dilemma is to get the balance correct in terms of recruitment.
The Company has a proper and adequate system of internal controls. This ensures that all
transactions are authorized, recorded and reported correctly, and assets are safeguarded and
protected against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. In addition, there are operational
controls and fraud risk controls, covering the entire spectrum of internal financial controls. The
Company has an Internal Control System, commensurate with the size, scale and complexity of its
operations.
During the year under review, your Company made a Turnover of Rs. 93.06 Lakhs as against Rs.
96.00 Lakhs for the previous year and had a loss of Rs. 101.33 Lakhs as against a loss of Rs. 9.66
Lakhs for the previous year.
