2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The March 31, 2018 consolidated balance sheet was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 22, 2018 (the “Annual Report”), but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise noted, considered necessary for a fair statement of results of operations and financial position have been included. The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any future period. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report. 

 

Mastek Ltd. maintained benefit and stock-based compensation programs at the parent company level. After the demerger from Mastek Ltd., which became effective on June 1, 2015, the Group employees who participated in those programs were allotted options of Majesco’s parent company, Majesco Limited, in the same proportion in addition to the existing options of Mastek Ltd., which these employees already had. The consolidated balance sheets do not include any outstanding equity related to the stock-based compensation programs of Mastek Ltd., but include outstanding equity related to the equity-based compensation programs of Majesco Limited.

b. Significant Accounting Policies

 

For a description of all significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies since the filing of the Annual Report.

 

c. Principles of Consolidation

 

The Group’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Majesco and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cover-All Systems, Inc., Majesco Canada Ltd., Majesco Software and Solutions Inc. (“MSSI”), Majesco Sdn. Bhd., Majesco UK Limited, Majesco (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Majesco Software and Solutions India Private Limited (“MSSIPL”) and Majesco Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. as of September 30, 2018. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

d. Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, cash equivalents and marketable securities, accounts receivable, income taxes, goodwill, and stock-based compensation.

 

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Recent Accounting Developments

 

Accounting for Leases (Topic 842)

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”(“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. ASU 2016-02 states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2019. Based on its current assessment, the Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which removes the requirement for an entity to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (as part of step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test) in measuring a goodwill impairment loss. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Based on its current assessment, the Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Statement, Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement, Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”), which allows a reclassification of stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings, as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard for its 2020 fiscal year and subsequent periods.

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company” and “smaller reporting company” under the federal securities laws and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have taken advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

 

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Group’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments in time deposits, restricted cash, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments in time deposits, restricted cash, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of the reporting date approximate their fair market value due to the relatively short period of time of original maturity tenure of these instruments.

 

Basis of Fair Value Measurement

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The current accounting guidance for fair value measurements defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures as follows:

 

  Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

  Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require the Group to develop its own assumptions.

 

The following table sets forth the financial assets, measured at fair value, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018:

 

    As of  
    September 30, 2018     March 31, 2018

Contingent consideration pertaining to the acquisition of the consulting business of Agile Technologies, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Agile”), as of December 31, 2015 has been classified under level 3 as the fair valuation of such contingent consideration and has been calculated using one or more of the significant inputs which are not based on observable market data. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique with significant inputs that are not observable in the market. The significant inputs not supported by market activity included the Group’s probability assessments of expected future cash flows related to its acquisition of the consulting business of Agile during the earn-out period, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the terms of the asset purchase agreement (the “Agile Agreement”) dated December 12, 2014, as amended on January 26, 2016.

 

The total gain/(losses) attributable to changes in the estimated contingent consideration payable for the acquisition of the consulting business of Agile were $835 and $835 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and $(79) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The Group paid $1,100 to Agile as earn-out consideration in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The Group paid $1,100 to Agile as earn-out consideration in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company and the promoters of Agile determined that the final earn-out targets under the Agile Agreement would not be met and that no further contingent consideration would therefore be due under the Agile Agreement. Accordingly, the accrued outstanding balance has been reversed in the income statement during the period ended September 30, 2018.

 

We use foreign currency forward contracts and par forward contracts to hedge our risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations related to certain commitments and forecasted transactions. The use of hedging instruments is governed by our policies which are approved by our Board of Directors. We designate these hedging instruments as cash flow hedges. Derivative financial instruments we enter into that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships are classified as financial instruments at fair value in the statement of operations.

 

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on observable market inputs and valuation models. The derivative financial instruments are valued based on valuations received from the relevant counter-party (i.e., bank). The fair value of the foreign exchange forward contract and foreign exchange par forward contract not valued by a bank has been determined as the difference between the forward rate on the reporting date and the forward rate on the original transaction, multiplied by the transaction’s notional amount (with currency matching).

5. software HIRE purchase agreementS

 

The Group acquired software under a hire purchase arrangement which is stated at the present value of the minimum installment payments.

6. BORROWINGS

 

MSSIPL Facilities

 

On June 30, 2015, the Group’s subsidiary, MSSIPL, entered into a secured Pre Shipment in Foreign Currency and Post Shipment in Foreign Currency (“PCFC”) facility with Yes Bank under which MSSIPL may request three months pre-export advances and advances against export collection bills. The maximum borrowing limit was initially 300 million Indian rupees. The interest rate on this PCFC facility was initially three months LIBOR plus 275 basis points. The interest rate on this PCFC facility is determined at the time of each advance. This PCFC facility is secured by a first pari passu charge over the current assets of MSSIPL. Excess outstanding beyond 100 million Indian rupees is to be backed by 100% fixed deposit receipts in MSSIPL or Majesco Limited. On September 27, 2016, MSSIPL extended this PCFC facility to June 17, 2017.

 

On September 13, 2017, MSSIPL entered into an addendum facility letter (the “2017 Addendum”) to its addendum facility letter dated September 27, 2016 with respect to the PCFC facility with Yes Bank dated June 30, 2015. The 2017 Addendum further extended the maturity date of the PCFC facility to May 22, 2018 and reduced the maximum borrowing limit from 300 million Indian rupees to 130 million Indian rupees, or approximately $1,793 based upon the exchange rate on September 30, 2018. In addition, the 2017 Addendum also amended the interest rate of the PCFC facility to LIBOR plus 150 basis points plus 2%. The interest rate on the PCFC facility is determined at the time of each advance. There is no outstanding balance against this loan as of September 30, 2018. The Group did not extend the term of this facility.

 

On May 9, 2017, MSSIPL and Standard Chartered Bank entered into an Export Invoice Financing Facility, Working Capital Overdraft Facility, Short Term Loans Facility, Bonds and Guarantees Facility and Pre Shipment Financing Under Export Orders Facility (collectively, the “Combined Facility”) pursuant to which Standard Chartered Bank agreed to a Combined Facility of up to 200 million Indian rupees (or approximately $2,917 based upon the exchange rate on September 30, 2018). The Export Invoice Financing Facility is for the financing of MSSIPL’s sale of goods, as evidenced by MSSIPL’s invoice to the customer. Each amount drawn is required to be repaid within 90 days. The interest on this facility is based on the marginal cost of funds based lending rate (“MCLR”) plus a margin to be agreed with Standard Chartered Bank at the time of each drawdown. The MCLR is to be determined on the date of each disbursement and be effective until repayment or maturity date. Interest will accrue from the utilization date to the date of repayment or payment of that utilization. The Working Capital Overdraft Facility and the Short Term Loans Facility are for working capital purposes and subject to sub-limits. The interest on these facilities is based on the MCLR plus a margin to be agreed with Standard Chartered Bank at the time of each borrowing. The MCLR is to be determined on the date of each disbursement and be effective until repayment or maturity. Interest will accrue from the draw down date up to the repayment or maturity date. The Bonds and Guarantees Facility is for the issuance of guarantees and subject to commissions as agreed with Standard Chartered Bank from time to time. The Pre Shipment Financing Under Export Orders Facility is for the purchase of raw material, processing, packing, transportation, warehousing and other expenses and overheads incurred by MSSIPL to ready goods for sale. The interest on this facility is based on the MCLR plus a margin to be agreed with Standard Chartered Bank at the time of each borrowing. The MCLR is to be determined on the date of utilization and be effective until repayment. Interest will accrue from the utilization date up to the repayment date.

 

  - 11 -  

 

 

The interest under the Combined Facility may be changed by Standard Chartered Bank upon the occurrence of certain market disruption events. The Combined Facility is secured by a first pari passu security interest over the current assets of MSSIPL. MSSIPL was in compliance under the terms of this Combined Facility as of September 30, 2018.

 

There are no outstanding loans under this Combined Facility as of September 30, 2018.

 

Term Loan Facility

 

On March 23, 2016, Majesco entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with HSBC pursuant to which HSBC agreed to extend loans to Majesco in the amount of up to $10,000 and Majesco issued a promissory note to HSBC in the maximum principal amount of $10,000 or any lesser amount borrowed under the Loan Agreement (the “Note”, and together with the “Loan Agreement”, the “Facility”). The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest based on LIBOR plus a margin in effect on the first day of the relevant interest period. Until January 1, 2018, only interest was payable under the loan. Commencing on January 1, 2018, and on each January 1 and July 1 thereafter until July 1, 2020, installments of principal in the amount of $1,667 will be due and payable semi-annually. All principal and interest outstanding under the Note is due and payable on March 1, 2021. The Facility is unsecured and supported by a letter of credit issued by a bank of $10,000, which is secured by a cash pledge of the Group’s parent company, Majesco Limited. As of September 30, 2018, the Group had $6,667 outstanding under this Facility. As of September 30, 2018, the Group was in compliance with the terms of this Facility.

 

The Facility contains affirmative covenants that require Majesco to furnish financial statements to HSBC and cause Majesco Limited to maintain (1) a Net Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of not more than (a) 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of its 2017 fiscal year and (b) 2.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal year thereafter, and (2) a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of not less than 1.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal year. The Facility contains restrictive covenants on Majesco, including restrictions on declaring or paying dividends upon and during the continuation of an event of default, incurring additional indebtedness, selling material portions of its assets or undertaking other substantial changes to the business, purchasing or holding securities for investment, and extending credit to any person outside the ordinary course of business. The Facility also restricts any transfer or change in, or assignment or pledge of the ownership or control of Majesco which would cause Majesco Limited to directly own less than 51% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Majesco. The Facility also restricts Majesco Limited from incurring any Net Debt (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in excess of $25,000 at any time prior to April 1, 2017. The Facility also contains a customary events of default provision and indemnification provisions whereby Majesco will indemnify HSBC against all losses or damages related to the Facility; provided, however, that Majesco shall not have any indemnification obligations to HSBC for any claims caused by HSBC’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Majesco used the loan proceeds to repay existing indebtedness and for capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

Receivable Purchase Facility

 

On January 13, 2017, Majesco and its subsidiaries MSSI and Cover-All Systems jointly and severally entered into a Receivable Purchase Agreement with HSBC pursuant to which HSBC may advance funds against receivables at an agreed advance rate. The outstanding aggregate amount of all advances may not exceed a $10,000 facility limit. The facility bears interest at two (2%) per cent plus the ninety (90) day LIBOR rate. HSBC will also receive an arrangement fee equal to 0.20% of the facility limit and a facility review fee equal to 0.20% of the facility limit. Majesco will serve as HSBC’s agent for the collection of receivables, and Majesco will collect and otherwise enforce payment of the receivables. HSBC has a security interest in accounts of MSSI and Cover-All Systems. The term of the Receivable Purchase Agreement is for a minimum period of twelve (12) months and shall continue unless terminated by either party. Either party may terminate the Receivable Purchase Agreement at any time upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the other party. The Receivable Purchase Agreement will provide additional liquidity to the Group for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2018, Majesco had $4,814 outstanding under this facility. Majesco used proceeds from this facility repay existing indebtedness and for capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges and Other Derivatives

 

We use foreign currency forward contracts and par forward contracts to hedge our risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations related to certain commitments and forecasted transactions. The use of hedging instruments is governed by our policies which are approved by our Board of Directors. We designate these hedging instruments as cash flow hedges. Derivative financial instruments we enter into that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships are classified as financial instruments at fair value in the statement of operations.

 

The aggregate contracted USD notional amounts of the Group’s foreign exchange forward contracts (sell) outstanding amounted to $31,975 and $18,250 as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. The aggregate contracted Great Britain Pound (“GBP”) notional amounts of the Group’s foreign exchange forward contracts (sell) outstanding amounted to GBP 525 and GBP 1,155 as of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

 

The outstanding forward contracts as of September 30, 2018 mature between one month and 36 months. As of September 30, 2018, the Group estimates that $(1,303), net of tax, of the net (loss)/gains related to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 36 months.

 

The related cash flow impacts of all of our derivative activities are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.

9. INCOME TAXES

 

The Group recognized income tax provisions of $1,299 and $2,091 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and recognized income tax benefits of $(451) and $(1,297) for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The effective tax rate is 31% and 35% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, which differs from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% mainly due to equity-based compensation, the impact of different tax jurisdictions and prior year tax credits. 

 

10. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan

 

In the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $406 and $858, respectively, in equity-based compensation expense in our consolidated financial statements compared to $428 and $783 in the three and six months ended September 30, 2017.

 

In June 2015, Majesco adopted the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). On May 9, 2018, the Board of Directors of Majesco approved an increase of 2,000,000 shares in the amount of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan from 3,877,263 shares to 5,877,263 shares. This increase was approved by the shareholders of Majesco at the 2018 annual meeting. Under the 2015 Plan, options and stock awards for the purchase of up to 5,877,263 shares may be granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to our employees, consultants and directors at an exercise or grant price determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on the date of grant. Options may be granted as incentive or nonqualified stock options with a term of not more than ten years. The 2015 Plan allows the grant of restricted or unrestricted stock awards or awards denominated in stock equivalent units or any combination of the foregoing, which may be paid in common stock or other securities, in cash, or in a combination of common stock or other securities and cash. On September 30, 2018, an aggregate of 2,661,413 shares were available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

 

Majesco uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) to measure fair value of the share-based awards. The Black-Scholes model requires us to make significant judgments regarding the assumptions used within the model, the most significant of which are the expected stock price volatility, the expected life of the option award, the risk-free interest rate of return and dividends during the expected term.

 

- Expected volatility is based on peer entities as historical volatility data for Majesco’s common stock is limited.

 

- In accordance with ASC 718, Majesco uses the simplified method for estimating the expected term when measuring the fair value of employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Majesco believes the use of the simplified method is appropriate due to the employee stock options qualifying as “plain-vanilla” options under the criteria established by SAB Topic 14.

 

- The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yields for an equivalent term at the time of grant.

 

- Majesco does not anticipate paying dividends during the expected term.

 

  - 15 -  

 

 

    As of September 30,  
Variables (range)   2018     2017  
             
Expected volatility      41%–50 %      41%–50 %
Weighted-average volatility     41 %     41 %
Expected dividends     0 %     0 %
Expected term (in years)      3-5        3-5  
Risk-free interest rate     2.5 %     0.46 %

 

As of September 30, 2018, there was $3,272 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements previously granted by Majesco. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years.

 

A summary of the outstanding common stock options under the 2015 Plan is as follows:

 

    Shares     Exercise Price
Per Share
    Weighted-Average
Remaining
Contractual Life
    Weighted-Average
Exercise Price
 
Balance, April 1, 2018     3,278,143     $ 4.79 – 7.72       7.69 years     $ 5.27  
Granted     60,000       5.25-5.79       9.64 years       5.70  
Exercised     (53,508 )     4.92 – 6.22       -       4.96  
Cancelled     (175,625 )     4.85 – 6.22       -       5.22

Balance, September 30, 2018     3,109,010     $ 4.79 – 7.72       7.22 years     $ 6.95  

 

Of the stock options outstanding, an aggregate of 1,695,324 were exercisable as of September 30, 2018.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our employee stock options.

 

We follow FASB ASC 718, Accounting for Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Compensation. Among other items, ASC 718 requires companies to record the compensation expense for share-based awards issued to employees and directors in exchange for services provided. The amount of the compensation expense is based on the estimated fair value of the awards on their grant dates and is recognized over the required service periods. Our share-based awards include stock options and restricted stock awards. For restricted stock awards, the calculation of compensation expense under ASC 718 is based on the intrinsic value of the grant.

 

Warrants

 

As of September 30, 2018, there were warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock outstanding. A summary of the terms of the outstanding warrants as of September 30, 2018 is as follows:

  - 16 -  

 

 

On September 1, 2015, Majesco issued to Maxim Partners LLC a five year warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock of Majesco at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. The warrant was issued in connection with the engagement of the holder to perform certain advisory services to the Group. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant may be reduced under certain circumstances of non-performance under the services agreement. The warrant may be exercised at any time after September 1, 2016 and will expire, if unexercised, on September 1, 2020. The warrant contains certain anti-dilution adjustment protection in case of certain future issuances of securities, stock dividends, split and other transactions affecting Majesco’s securities. The holder of the warrant is entitled to piggyback registration rights in case of certain registered securities offerings by Majesco .

 

Employee Stock Option Scheme of Majesco Limited — Plan 1

 

Certain employees of the Group participate in the Group’s parent company, Majesco Limited’s, employee stock option plan. The plan, termed as “ESOP plan 1,” became effective June 1, 2015, the effective date of the demerger from Mastek Ltd. Group employees who were issued options in the earlier ESOP plans of Mastek Ltd. were given options of Majesco Limited following the demerger. Under the plan, Majesco Limited also grants newly issued options to the employees of MSSIPL from time to time. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, options to purchase 39,600 shares of common stock were granted under ESOP plan 1 of Majesco Limited. The options were granted at the market price on the grant date.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the total future compensation cost related to non-vested options not yet recognized in the Statement of Operations was $702, and the weighted average period over which these awards are expected to be recognized was 3.06 years. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options expected to vest as of September 30, 2018 is 8.71 years.

 

Majesco Limited calculated the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method with the following assumptions:

 

    As of September 30,  
    2018     2017  
Weighted-average volatility     34 %     49.47 %
Expected dividends     0.00 %     0.00 %
Expected term (in years)     2-5 Years       6 Years  
Risk-free interest rate     7.20-7.70 %     6.59 %

Of the stock options of Majesco Limited outstanding and held by Group employees, an aggregate of 1,138,675 are exercisable as of September 30, 2018.

 

Majesco Performance Bonus Plan

 

Majesco established the Majesco Performance Bonus Plan (the “Performance Bonus Plan”). The Performance Bonus Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Majesco. The purpose of the Performance Bonus Plan is to benefit and advance the interests of the Group by rewarding selected employees of the Group for their contributions to the Group’s financial success and thereby motivate them to continue to make such contributions in the future by granting them performance-based awards that are fully tax deductible to the Group.

 

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, we accrued $2,925 and $5,979 in incentive compensation expense in our consolidated financial statements compared to $1,179 and $1,174, respectively, during the three and six months ended September 30, 2017.

Majesco Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

Majesco established the Majesco Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP is intended to be qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. If a plan is qualified under Section 423, employees who participate in the ESPP enjoy certain tax advantages. The ESPP allows employees to purchase shares of Majesco common stock at a discount, without being subject to tax until they sell the shares, and without having to pay any brokerage commissions with respect to the purchases.

 

The purpose of the ESPP is to encourage the purchase of Majesco common stock by our employees, to provide employees with a personal stake in our business and to help us retain our employees by providing a long range inducement for such employees to remain in our employ.

 

The ESPP provides employees with the right to purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions. The total number of shares available for purchase under the ESPP is 2,000,000. The ESPP Plan became effective January 1, 2016. As of September 30, 2018, we had issued and sold 109,064 shares under the ESPP.

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net income for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the same periods.

 

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three and six months periods plus the weighted average number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon the conversion of all the dilutive potential shares of common stock into shares of common stock.

 

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 155,816 and 155,816 shares and options for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and 3,303,559 and 3,303,559 shares and options for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, granted to employees, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Overview

 

We are a global provider of core insurance platform solutions, consulting services and other insurance solutions for business transformation for the insurance industry. We operate in the United States, India, Canada, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Mexico. We offer core insurance platform solutions for property & casualty/general insurance (“P&C”), and life, annuities, pensions and group/benefits (“L&A and Group”) providers, enabling them to automate and manage business processes across the end-to-end insurance value chain and comply with policies and regulations across their organizations. In addition, we offer a variety of other technology-based solutions for distribution management, digital, data and cloud. Our consulting services solutions provide enterprise consulting, application development management and testing for insurers. Our portfolio of solutions enable our customers to respond to evolving market needs, growth and innovation opportunities and regulatory changes, enabling agility, innovation and speed while improving the effectiveness and efficiency of their business operations.

 

Long-term, strong customer relationships are a key component of our success given the long-term nature of our contracts, opportunity for deeper relationships with our portfolio of solutions, and the importance of customer references for new sales. Our customers range from some of the largest global tier one insurance carriers in the industry to mid-market insurers, managing general agents, startups and greenfields, including specialty, mutual and regional carriers. As of September 30, 2018, we served approximately 160 insurance customers on a worldwide basis.

 

We generates revenue from our global IP led business as well as from engagements in the insurance services space. The IP business is primarily driven through either an on-premise deployment or deployment of the platform on the cloud. While the on-premise model generates revenues from the licensing of our proprietary software (perpetual or annual license fees), related implementation and support and maintenance fees pursuant to contracts with customers, we have been witnessing a significant shift in the business model with customers preferring the cloud model which offers a speed to value benefit together with low upfront investments. The revenues from the cloud model are led by an implementation/configuration contract and followed by monthly subscriptions once the platform is in production for the customer to use. The implementation contracts for both the models are on a time and material or fixed bid basis. License fees, support and maintenance and cloud subscription fees are usually managed through multi-year agreements which are typically over a period of five to seven years. Insurance services revenues is primarily driven by professional services offered in the areas of transformation consulting, data, digital, testing and application development and management.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In evaluating our business, we consider and use EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA before equity-based compensation and a one-time reversal of accrual for contingent consideration liability.

 

The terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing our operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than us, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. We compensate for these limitations by relying on U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

 

For an unaudited reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, see “— Results of Operations — Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2017”.

 

Agile Asset Acquisition

 

On January 1, 2015, we acquired substantially all of the insurance consulting business of Agile Technologies, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Agile”), a business and technology management consulting firm. We estimate the total consideration for the Agile asset acquisition will amount to approximately $8,500, with a total maximum of $9,200 possible depending on earn-out payments. Of the estimated approximately $8,500 total consideration, (1) $1,000 was paid in connection with the execution of the acquisition agreement and $2,000 was paid in connection with the closing of the acquisition with available cash on hand, (2) approximately $39 will be paid in cash as deferred payments over three years to certain former Agile employees who became employees of Majesco in connection with the acquisition and (3) up to $5,100 will be paid by way of earn-out over three years based on the satisfaction of certain time milestones and performance targets, with maximum potential aggregate earn-out payments of up to $5,800 if performance targets are exceeded.

 

On January 26, 2016, we amended the asset purchase and sale agreement with Agile and its members to amend the terms and conditions of the earn-out. The amendment added in the calculation of revenue for purposes of determining the earn-out for 2015 five percent of the initial order book revenue of Majesco software (intellectual property) deals closed by the Agile Division and 40% of revenue and EBITDA for Data Center of Excellence projects that have been signed in calendar year 2015. For determining the earn-out for 2016 and 2017, the amendment provides that the earn-out performance metrics will be determined at the Majesco level and not the Agile Division level and will be based only on revenue and EBITDA goals of Majesco as reported in Majesco’s consolidated financial statements. The amendment also provides that 50% of the earn-out in the amount of  $583 will be fixed with the remainder of the earn-out (the “Variable Earn-Out”) payable to Agile on a percentage basis as calculated below only if Majesco achieves 90% of corporate revenue and EBITDA goals for 2016 and 2017. No Variable Earn-Out will be payable for achieving less than 90% of the corporate revenue and EBITDA goals for 2016 and 2017, respectively, and any additional earn-out will not exceed 20% of the Variable Earn-Out. For revenue and EBITDA between 90% and 120% of Majesco’s revenue and EBITDA goals, Majesco will pay Agile a Variable Earn-Out calculated on a percentage basis. The amendment also adjusts the earn-out periods determination over a period of three years with the first year commencing on January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2015; the second year commencing on April 1, 2016 and ending on March 31, 2017; and the third year commencing on April 1, 2017 and ending on March 31, 2018. We paid approximately $1,100, $1,100 and $1,500 as earn-out to Agile in fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We have no further obligations with respect to earnout payments.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company and the promoters of Agile determined that the final earnout targets under the Agile Agreement would not be met and that no further contingent consideration would therefore be due under the Agile Agreement. Accordingly, the accrued outstanding balance has been reversed in the income statement during the period ended September 30, 2018.

 

Through this acquisition, we acquired the insurance-focused IT consulting business of Agile, as well as business process optimization capabilities and additional technology services including data architecture strategy and services. In connection with this acquisition, over 55 insurance technology professionals and other personnel formerly employed or engaged by Agile became our employees or independent contractors. This acquisition also resulted in the addition of approximately 20 customers to our customer base. In connection with this acquisition, we assumed office leases under which Agile was lessee in New Jersey, Georgia and Ohio, and acquired certain trademarks, service marks, domain names and business process framework of Agile.

 

Cover-All Merger

 

On June 26, 2015, Cover-All Technologies Inc. (“Cover-All”), a provider of core insurance software and business analytics solution primarily focused on commercial lines for the property and casualty insurance industry listed on the NYSE American, merged with and into Majesco, with Majesco as the surviving corporation, in a stock-for-stock transaction. In the merger, each share of Cover-All common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than treasury shares) was automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive 0.21641 shares of common stock of Majesco. This exchange ratio resulted in holders of issued and outstanding Cover-All common stock and outstanding options and restricted stock units and other equity awards of Cover-All holding in the aggregate approximately 16.5% of the total capitalization of the combined company immediately following consummation of the merger.

 

Cover-All’s customers include insurance companies, agents, brokers and managing general agents throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Cover-All’s software solutions and services are designed to enable customers to introduce new products quickly, expand their distribution channels, reduce costs and improve service to their customers. Cover-All’s business analytics solution enables customers to leverage their information assets for real time business insights and for better risk selection, pricing and financial reporting. In 2013, Cover-All announced the general availability of Cover-All Dev Studio, a visual configuration platform for building new and maintaining existing pre-built commercial insurance products for Cover-All Policy. In 2011, Cover-All expanded its portfolio of insurance solutions by acquiring the assets of a recognized claims solution provider, Ho’ike Services, Inc. (doing business as BlueWave Technology).

 

We always look at additional acquisitions to complement our service offerings and growth strategy. Our success, in the near term, will depend, in large part, on our ability to: (a) successfully integrate our acquisitions into our business, (b) build up momentum for new sales, (c) cross-sell to existing customers and (d) exceed customer satisfaction through our state of the art products and solutions.

 

Inflation

 

Although we cannot accurately determine the amounts attributable thereto, our net revenues and results of operations have been affected by inflation experienced in the U.S., India and other economies in which we operate through increased costs of employee compensation and other operational expenses during the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017. To the extent permitted by the marketplace for our products and services, we attempt to recover increases in costs by periodically increasing prices. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Currency Fluctuations

 

We are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates with respect to our contracts. We hedge a substantial portion of our foreign currency exposure. For more information, see “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

 

  - 27 -  

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition, intangible assets, software development costs, and goodwill.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized when all of the following general revenue recognition criteria are met:

 

  · Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists . Evidence of an arrangement consists of a written contract signed by both the customer and management prior to the end of the reporting period.

 

  · Delivery or performance has occurred. The Group’s software product has met the milestones contained in the software development contract, professional services are rendered, and any customer acceptance provisions have been satisfied.

  

  · Fees are fixed or determinable. Fees from customer arrangements are generally at a contractually fixed price or based upon agreed upon time and material rates.

 

  · Collectability is probable. Collectability is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis, based primarily on creditworthiness as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as customer payment history. If it is determined prior to revenue recognition that collection of an arrangement fee is not probable, revenues are deferred until collection becomes probable or cash is collected, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.

 

We recognize some license revenue upon delivery, provided that collection is determined to be probable and no significant obligations remain. Some license revenues are not accounted separately from software services revenues as professional services are essential to the software functionality and include significant modification or customization to or development of the underlying software code. Since these software arrangements do not qualify as a separate unit of accounting, the software license revenues are recognized using the percentage of completion method. When contracts contain multiple software and software-related elements (for example, software license, and maintenance and professional services) wherein Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method.” VSOE of fair value for post-contract customer support services is established by a stated renewal rate charged in stand-alone sales. VSOE of fair value of hosting services is based upon stand-alone sales of those services. Revenue from support services is recognized ratably over the life of the contract. Revenue from professional consulting services is recognized when the service is provided.

 

In addition, we have made further investments to create a robust and market-leading cloud platform that is well positioned to take advantage of significant opportunities in the insurance marketplace. We invoice customers a subscription based fee for our cloud platform. Revenue from subscription fees is recognized ratably over the life of the contract.

 

Time and Material Contracts — Professional services revenue consists primarily of revenue received for assisting with the development, implementation of our software, on-site support, and other professional consulting services. In determining the accounting for professional services revenue, we look at the nature of our software products; whether they are ready for use by the customer upon receipt; the nature of our implementation services, which typically do involve significant customization to or development of the underlying software code; and whether milestones or acceptance criteria exist that affect the realization of the services rendered. Substantially all of our professional services arrangements are billed on a time and materials basis and, accordingly, are recognized as the services are performed. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for professional services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. Payments received in advance of rendering professional services are deferred and recognized when the related services are performed. Work performed and expenses incurred in advance of invoicing are recorded as unbilled receivables. These amounts are billed in the subsequent month.

 

  - 28 -  

 

 

Fixed Price Contracts — For arrangements that do not qualify for separate accounting for the license and professional services revenues, including arrangements that involve significant modification or customization of the software, that include milestones or customer specific acceptance criteria that may affect collection of the software license fees or where payment for the software license is tied to the performance of professional services, software license revenue is generally recognized together with the professional services revenue using the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage-of completion method, revenue recognized is equal to the ratio of costs expended to date to the anticipated total contract costs, based on current estimates of costs to complete the project. If there are milestones or acceptance provisions associated with the contract, the revenue recognized will not exceed the most recent milestone achieved or acceptance obtained. If the total estimated costs to complete a project exceed the total contract amount, indicating a loss, the entire anticipated loss would be recognized in the current period.

 

Revenue is shown net of applicable service tax, sales tax, value added tax and other applicable taxes. We account for reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses incurred as revenues in the combined Statement of Operations.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the cost of the acquired businesses in excess of the estimated fair value of assets acquired, identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or as circumstances warrant. If impairment is indicated and the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, then goodwill is written-down. There are no indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis. The estimated useful life of an identifiable intangible asset is based on a number of factors, including the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected future cash flows from the asset and other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, known technological advances, etc.).

 

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:

 

Non-compete agreements 3 years
   
Leasehold benefit Ascertainable life or primary period of lease whichever is less
   
Internal-use Software 1-5 years
   
Intellectual Property Rights 1-5 years
   
Customer contracts 1-3  years
   
Customer relationships 6-8  years
   
Technology 6 years

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets

 

We review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During this review, we re-evaluate the significant assumptions used in determining the original cost and estimated lives of long-lived assets. Although the assumptions may vary from asset to asset, they generally include operating results, changes in the use of the asset, cash flows and other indicators of value. Management then determines whether the remaining useful life continues to be appropriate or whether there has been an impairment of long-lived assets based primarily upon whether expected future undiscounted cash flows are sufficient to support the assets’ recovery. If impairment exists, we adjust the carrying value of the asset to fair value, generally determined by a discounted cash flow analysis.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at actual cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The cost and the accumulated depreciation for premises and equipment sold, retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the stated values and the resulting gains and losses are included in the consolidated Statement of Operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to Consolidated Statement of Operations when incurred. Advance paid towards acquisition of long-lived assets and cost of assets not put to use before the balance sheet date are disclosed under the caption “capital work in progress”.

 

The estimated useful lives of tangible assets are as follows:

 

Owned Buildings 25 – 30 years
   
Leasehold Improvements 5 years or over the primary period of lease whichever is less
   
Computers 2 years
   
Plant and Equipment 2–5 years
   
Furniture and Fixtures 5 years
   
Vehicles 5 years
   
Office Equipment 2–5 years

Revenues

 

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $34,039 compared to $30,347 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting an increase of 12.2%. The increase during the quarter was primarily due to ramp up in new logos and growth in existing accounts.

 

Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2018 were $67,588 compared to $58,269 for the six months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting an increase of 16%. The increase during the quarter was primarily due to increasing cloud revenue, ramp up in new logos, and continued new business engagements from existing accounts.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit was $17,068 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared with $13,609 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 25%. The increase in margin has been primarily due to a changing revenue mix in favor of cloud business and improved delivery efficiencies. Gross profit percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased to 50.1% of revenue from 44.8% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Gross profit was $33,147 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared with $25,515 for the six months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 30%. Changing revenue mix in favor of cloud business and improved delivery efficiencies continued to drive better margins. Gross profit percentage for the six months ended September 30, 2018 increased to 49% of revenue from 43.8% of revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Salaries and consultant fees were approximately $12,713 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $12,076 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This represents an increase of 5% in salaries and consultant fees. As a percentage of revenues, salaries and consultant fees decreased from 39.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to 37.35% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Salaries and consultant fees were approximately $25,112 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $23,233 for the six months ended September 30, 2017. This represents an increase of 8% in salaries and consultant fees. As a percentage of revenues, salaries and consultant fees decreased from 39.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2017 to 37.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2018.

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses were $14,120 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $14,638 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in selling and general expenses of $(976) to some extent offset by an increase in research and development (“R&D”) costs of $458. We continued to invest in R&D to increase the depth as well as range of our offering portfolio. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses decreased to 41.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from 48.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Operating expenses were $28,433 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $28,880 for the six months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in selling and general expenses of $(1,797) to some extent offset by an increase in R&D costs of $1,350. We continued to invest in R&D to increase the depth as well as range of our offering portfolio. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses decreased to 42.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2018 from 49.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Income/(Loss) from Operations

 

Income/(Loss) from operations was $2,948 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $(1,029) for the three months ended September 30, 2017. As a percentage of revenues, net gain from operations was 8.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of 3.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Net income was significantly higher due to the overall improved performance on revenue and profitability and included gain on account of the reversal of contingent earnout consideration of $840, no longer required.

 

Income/(Loss) from operations was $4,714 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $(3,365) for the six months ended September 30, 2017. As a percentage of revenues, net gain from operations was 7% for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of 5.8% for the six months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Other Income

 

Other income (expense), net was $430 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is mainly due to a currency exchange gain in the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Other income (expense), net was $610 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $(44) for the six months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is mainly due to a currency exchange loss in the six months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Tax provision

 

We recognized income tax provision of $1,299 and $2,092 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and recognized income tax (benefit) of $(451) and $(1,297) for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

 

The effective tax rate is 31% and 35% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, , respectively, which differs from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 27.3% mainly due to equity-based compensation, the impact of different tax jurisdictions and tax refunds of prior periods.

 

Net income/( loss)

 

Net income was $2,829 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net loss of $(716) for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Net income per share, basic and diluted, was $0.08 and $0.07, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net loss per share, basic and diluted, of $(0.02) and $(0.02), respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

  - 33 -  

 

 

Net income was $3,864 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net loss of $(2,366) for the six months ended September 30, 2017. Net income per share, basic and diluted, was $0.11 and $0.10, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net loss per share, basic and diluted, of $(0.06) and $(0.06), respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $4,449 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1,036 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $7,903 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $623 for the six months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The following is an unaudited reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 and the three and six months ended September 30, 2017:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash and cash equivalent and short term investments position was $15,058 at September 30, 2018 and $10,969 at September 30, 2017.

 

Net cash generated / (used) by operating activities was $8,458 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and $(6,040) for the six months ended September 30, 2017. We had accounts receivable of $18,051 at September 30, 2018 and $19,103 at March 31, 2018. The overall net cash and cash equivalent position has increased to $3,514 during the six months ended September 30, 2018. Days outstanding decreased to 75 days at the end of September 30, 2018 as compared to 80 days at the end of March 31, 2018.

 

Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $(3,173) for the six months ended September 30, 2018 compared to cash used of $(709) for the six months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to investments in short term investment, purchases of property, equipment and intangible assets during the six months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Net cash (used)/ generated by financing activities was $(2,179) for the six months ended September 30, 2018, compared to net cash generated by financing activities of $5,172 for the six months ended September 30, 2017 mainly due to repayment of borrowings under our debt facilities.

 

We believe that our cash flows from operations and available borrowings are sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for the next twelve months, including capital expenditures.

 

Financing Arrangements

 

MSSIPL Facilities

 

On June 30, 2015, our subsidiary, Majesco Software and Solutions India Pvt. Ltd. (“MSSIPL”), entered into a secured Pre Shipment in Foreign Currency and Post Shipment in Foreign Currency (“PCFC”) facility with Yes Bank under which MSSIPL may request three months pre-export advances and advances against export collection bills. The maximum borrowing limit was initially 300 million Indian rupees. The interest rate on this PCFC facility was initially three months LIBOR plus 275 basis points. The interest rate on this PCFC facility is determined at the time of each advance. This PCFC facility is secured by a first pari passu charge over the current assets of MSSIPL. Excess outstanding beyond 100 million Indian rupees is to be backed by 100% fixed deposit receipts in MSSIPL or Majesco Limited. On September 27, 2016, MSSIPL extended this PCFC facility to June 17, 2017.

 

On September 13, 2017, MSSIPL entered into an addendum facility letter (the “2017 Addendum”) to its addendum facility letter dated September 27, 2016 with respect to the PCFC facility with Yes Bank dated June 30, 2015. The 2017 Addendum further extended the maturity date of the PCFC facility to May 22, 2018 and reduced the maximum borrowing limit from 300 million Indian rupees to 130 million Indian rupees, or approximately $1,896 based upon the exchange rate on September 30, 2018. In addition, the 2017 Addendum also amended the interest rate of the PCFC facility to LIBOR plus 150 basis points plus 2%. The interest rate on the PCFC facility is determined at the time of each advance. There is no outstanding balance against this loan as of September 30, 2018. The Group did not extend the term of this facility.

On May 9, 2017, MSSIPL and Standard Chartered Bank entered into an Export Invoice Financing Facility, Working Capital Overdraft Facility, Short Term Loans Facility, Bonds and Guarantees Facility and Pre Shipment Financing Under Export Orders Facility (collectively, the “Combined Facility”) pursuant to which Standard Chartered Bank agreed to a Combined Facility of up to 200 million Indian rupees (or approximately $2,917 based upon the exchange rate on September 30, 2018). The Export Invoice Financing Facility is for the financing of MSSIPL’s sale of goods, as evidenced by MSSIPL’s invoice to the customer. Each amount drawn is required to be repaid within 90 days. The interest on this facility is based on the marginal cost of funds based lending rate (“MCLR”) plus a margin to be agreed with Standard Chartered Bank at the time of each drawdown. The MCLR is to be determined on the date of each disbursement and be effective until repayment or maturity. Interest will accrue from the utilization date to the date of repayment or payment of that utilization. The Working Capital Overdraft Facility and the Short Term Loans Facility are for working capital purposes and subject to sub-limits. The interest on these facilities is based on the MCLR plus a margin to be agreed with Standard Chartered Bank at the time of each borrowing. The MCLR is to be determined on the date of each disbursement and be effective until repayment or maturity. Interest will accrue from the draw down date up to the repayment or maturity date. The Bonds and Guarantees Facility is for the issuance of guarantees and subject to commissions as agreed with Standard Chartered Bank from time to time. The Pre Shipment Financing Under Export Orders Facility is for the purchase of raw material, processing, packing, transportation, warehousing and other expenses and overheads incurred by MSSIPL to ready goods for sale. The interest on this facility is based on the MCLR plus a margin to be agreed with Standard Chartered Bank at the time of each borrowing. The MCLR is to be determined on the date of utilization and be effective until repayment. Interest will accrue from the utilization date up to the repayment date.

 

The interest under the Combined Facility may be changed by Standard Chartered Bank upon the occurrence of certain market disruption events. The Combined Facility is secured by a first pari passu security interest over the current assets of MSSIPL. MSSIPL was in compliance under the terms of this Combined Facility as of September 30, 2018.

 

There are no outstanding loans under this Combined Facility as of September 30, 2018.

 

Term Loan Facility

 

On March 23, 2016, Majesco entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with HSBC pursuant to which HSBC agreed to extend loans to Majesco in the amount of up to $10,000 and Majesco issued a promissory note to HSBC in the maximum principal amount of $10,000 or any lesser amount borrowed under the Loan Agreement (the “Note”, and together with the “Loan Agreement”, the “Facility”). The outstanding principal balance of the loan bears interest based on LIBOR plus a margin in effect on the first day of the relevant interest period. Until January 1, 2018, only interest was payable under the loan. Commencing on January 1, 2018, and on each January 1 and July 1 thereafter until July 1, 2020, installments of principal in the amount of $1,667 will be due and payable semi-annually. All principal and interest outstanding under the Note is due and payable on March 1, 2021. The Facility is unsecured and supported by a letter of credit issued by a bank of $10,000, which is secured by a cash pledge of the Group’s parent company, Majesco Limited. As of September 30, 2018, the Group had $6,667 outstanding under this Facility. As of September 30, 2018, the Group was in compliance with the terms of this Facility.

 

The Facility contains affirmative covenants that require Majesco to furnish financial statements to HSBC and cause Majesco Limited to maintain (1) a Net Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of not more than (a) 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of its 2017 fiscal year and (b) 2.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal year thereafter, and (2) a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of not less than 1.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal year. The Facility contains restrictive covenants on Majesco, including restrictions on declaring or paying dividends upon and during the continuation of an event of default, incurring additional indebtedness, selling material portions of its assets or undertaking other substantial changes to the business, purchasing or holding securities for investment, and extending credit to any person outside the ordinary course of business. The Facility also restricts any transfer or change in, or assignment or pledge of the ownership or control of Majesco which would cause Majesco Limited to directly own less than 51% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Majesco. The Facility also restricts Majesco Limited from incurring any Net Debt (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in excess of $25,000 at any time prior to April 1, 2017. The Facility also contains customary events of default provision and indemnification provisions whereby Majesco will indemnify HSBC against all losses or damages related to the Facility; provided, however, that Majesco shall not have any indemnification obligations to HSBC for any claims caused by HSBC’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Majesco used the loan proceeds to repay existing indebtedness and for capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Receivable Purchase Facility

 

On January 13, 2017, Majesco and its subsidiaries Majesco Software and Solutions Inc. (“MSSI”), and Cover-All Systems, jointly and severally entered into a Receivable Purchase Agreement with HSBC pursuant to which HSBC may advance funds against receivables at an agreed advance rate. The outstanding aggregate amount of all advances may not exceed a $10,000 facility limit. The facility bears interest at two (2%) per cent plus the ninety (90) day LIBOR rate. HSBC will also receive an arrangement fee equal to 0.20% of the facility limit and a facility review fee equal to 0.20% of the facility limit. Majesco will serve as HSBC’s agent for the collection of receivables, and Majesco will collect and otherwise enforce payment of the receivables. HSBC has a security interest in accounts of MSSI and Cover-All Systems. The term of the Receivable Purchase Agreement is for a minimum period of twelve (12) months and shall continue unless terminated by either party. Either party may terminate the Receivable Purchase Agreement at any time upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the other party. The Receivable Purchase Agreement will provide additional liquidity to the Group for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2018, Majesco had $4,813 outstanding under this facility. Majesco used proceeds from this facility to repay existing indebtedness and for capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

Auto loan

 

MSSIPL has obtained an auto loan from HDFC Bank for the purchase of a vehicle. This loan is secured by the hypothecation of the vehicle. The outstanding balance of the auto loan as of September 30, 2018 is $110.

 

Dividends and Redemption

 

We have declared and paid a cash dividend on our common stock only for our fiscal year 2000. It has otherwise been our policy to invest earnings in growth rather than distribute earnings as common stock dividends. This policy, is expected to continue, but is subject to regular review by our Board of Directors.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

In the normal course of our business, we are party to a variety of contractual obligations as summarized in our Annual Report. These contractual obligations are considered by us when assessing our liquidity requirements. There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as disclosed in the Annual Report, other than those which occur in the ordinary course of business. We had borrowed $0 under the PCFC facility, $0 under the Combined Facility, $4,813 under our receivable purchase facility, $110 under our auto loan and $6,667 under our term loan with HSBC at September 30, 2018, compared to $0, $0, $5,262, $7 and $8,333, respectively, as of March 31, 2018.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Emerging growth company

 

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” under the federal securities laws and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have taken advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, each as described more fully below. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash and cash equivalents and investments. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge our interest rate exposure. Our cash and cash equivalents and short term investments as of September 30, 2018 were $12,315 and $2,743, respectively.

 

We invest primarily in highly liquid, money market funds and bank fixed deposits. Because of the short-term nature of the majority of the interest-bearing securities we hold, we believe that a 10% fluctuation in the interest rates applicable to our cash and cash equivalents and investments would not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

The rate of interest on our PCFC facility, our Combined Facility, our receivable purchase facility and our term loan with HSBC and our auto loan which were in effect as of September 30, 2018, are variable and are based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin. As of September 30, 2018, we had $0, $4,813 and $0 in borrowings outstanding under our PCFC facility, our receivable purchase facility with HSBC and our Combined Facility, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, we had borrowed $6,667 and $110 under our term loan with HSBC and our auto loan, respectively. We believe that a 10% fluctuation in the interest rates applicable to our borrowings would not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. However, payments to us by customers outside the U.S. are generally made in the local currency. Accordingly, our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Canadian dollar, Indian rupee, British pound, Thai baht, Malaysian ringgit, Singapore dollar and Mexican peso. The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy.

 

We generated approximately 11% and 10.16% of our gross revenues outside of the United States for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, compared to 11% and 12.68% for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents resulted in a (loss) of $(63) and a gain of $89 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to a gain of $57 and $210 for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, we had a foreign exchange gain of approximately $437 and $4, respectively, compared to a foreign exchange gain/(loss) of $616 and $(66.66) for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

 

We use foreign currency forward contracts and par forward contracts to hedge our risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations related to certain commitments and forecasted transactions. The use of hedging instruments is governed by our policies which are approved by our Board of Directors. We designate these hedging instruments as cash flow hedges. Derivative financial instruments we enter into that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships are classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

 

The aggregate contracted U.S. dollar principal amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts (sell) outstanding as of September 30, 2018 amounted to $31,975. The aggregate contracted Great Britain Pound (“GBP”) principal amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts (sell) outstanding as of September 30, 2018 amounted to GBP 525. The outstanding forward contracts as of September 30, 2018 mature between one month to 36 months. As of September 30, 2018, we estimate that $(1,303), net of tax, of the net gains/(losses) related to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the subsequent 36 months. The outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts in U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2018 are designated as in hedge relationship and there will be no impact on our statement of operations due to a strengthening or weakening of 10% in the foreign exchange rates.

 

  - 38 -  

 

 

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on observable market inputs and valuation models. The derivative financial instruments are valued based on valuations received from the relevant counterparty (i.e., bank). The fair value of the foreign exchange forward contract and foreign exchange par forward contract has been determined as the difference between the forward rate on reporting date and the forward rate on the original transaction, multiplied by the transaction’s notional amount (with currency matching). The following table provides information of fair values of derivative financial instruments:

  

    Assets     Liability  
    Noncurrent*     Current*     Noncurrent*     Current*  
As of September 30, 2018                                
Designated as hedging instruments under Cash Flow Hedges                                
Foreign exchange forward contracts   $ 1     $ 1     $ 639     $ 1,201  
Total   $ 1     $ 1     $ 639     $ 1,201  

 

*     The noncurrent and current portions of derivative assets are included in ‘Other Assets’ and ‘Prepaid Expenses And Other Current Assets,’ respectively , and the noncurrent and current portions of derivative liabilities are included in ‘Other Liabilities’ and ‘Accrued Expenses And Other Liabilities,’ respectively in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

For more information on foreign currency translation adjustments and cash flow hedges and other derivative financial instruments, see Notes 7 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2018. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.

  - 10 -  

 

 

For purposes of this offer letter, with respect to payments of any amounts that are considered to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, references to “termination of employment” (and substantially similar phrases) will be interpreted to mean a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

If, as of the date of your “separation from service” from the Company, you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then: (i) each installment of the Severance Benefits that, in accordance with the dates and terms set forth in this offer letter, will in all circumstances, regardless of when the “separation from service” occurs, be paid within the short-term deferral period (as defined in Section 409A) will be treated as a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Treas.

Reg. Section 1.409A-l(b)(9)(iii) (relating to separation pay upon an involuntary separation from service). Any installments that qualify for the exception under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-l(b)(9)(iii) must be paid no later than the last day of your second taxable year following the taxable year in which the “separation from service” occurs.

 

  - 11 -  

 

 

The determination of whether and when your “separation from service” from the Company has occurred will be made in a manner consistent with, and based on the presumptions set forth in, Treas. Reg. Section l.409A-1(h). Solely for purposes of this paragraph, “Company” will include all persons with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Section 414(b) and 414(c) of the Code.

 

All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this offer letter will be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirements that (1) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during your lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this offer letter), (2) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (3) the reimbursement of any eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (4) the right to reimbursement is not subject to set off or liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

9.     Section 280G . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this offer letter, to the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided for under this offer letter or any other agreement or arrangement between the Company and you (collectively, the “Payments”) (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) but for this paragraph, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Payments will be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of such Payments retained by you will be subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code; provided , however , such reduction will only occur if after taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, such reduction results in your receipt on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits under this offer letter, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and not a violation of Sections 280G, 409A or 4999 of the Code, you will be entitled to elect the order in which payments will be reduced. If you electing the order in which payments will be reduced would result in violation of Code Section 409A or loss of the benefit of reduction under Sections 280G or 4999 of the Code, payments will be reduced in the following order (i) severance payment based on multiple of Base Salary and/or Annual Bonus; (ii) other cash payments; (iii) any pro-rated Annual Bonus paid as severance; (iv) acceleration of vesting of stock options with an exercise price that exceeds the then fair market value of stock subject to the option, provided such options are not permitted to be valued under Treas. Reg. Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c); (v) any equity awards accelerated or otherwise valued at full value, provided such equity awards are not permitted to be valued under Treas, Reg. Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c); (vi) acceleration of vesting of stock options with an exercise price that exceeds the then fair market value of stock subject to the option, provided such options are permitted to be valued under Treas. Reg. Section 1.280G-1 Q/A – 24(c); (vii) acceleration of vesting of all other stock options and equity awards; and (viii) within any category, reductions will be from the last due payment to the first.
