1) Background and Operational outlook
Axis-IT&T Limited is a pure play Engineering Design Services (EDS)
Company that delivers design based solutions to global engineering
majors. Axis-IT&T Limited is organized into two divisions – EDS and
Software Development Services. The Company has made profit after tax
of Rs. 62,267,727 during the year ended 31 March 2011 and its
accumulated losses are Rs. 141,408,896. These accumulated losses
represent erosion of more than fifty percent of net worth of the
Company. The Company is projecting better performance in forthcoming
years on the basis of increase in number of contracts with existing and
new customers and cost control measures. There is no impact on the
carrying/ recoverable value of the assets and liabilities and so no
adjustments have been recorded for these assets and liabilities thereon
in the financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis.
2) Earnings /(Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or
loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders (after
deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Partly
paid equity shares will be treated as a fraction of an equity share to
the extent that they were entitled to participate in dividends relative
to a fully paid equity share during the reporting period.
The weighted average numbers of equity shares outstanding during the
period will be adjusted for events of bonus issue, bonus element in a
rights issue to existing shareholders; share split; and reverse share
split (consolidation of shares).
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net
profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period
will be adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity
shares.
