1.DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Majesco is a global provider of core insurance software, consulting and services for business transformation for the insurance industry. We offer core insurance software solutions for property and casualty/general insurance (“P&C”), life and annuity (“L&A”) and pensions group/employee benefits providers, allowing them to manage policy administration, claims management and billing management capabilities. In addition, we offer a variety of other technology-based solutions that are designed to enable organizations to automate and innovate business processes across the end-to-end insurance value chain and comply with policies and regulations across their organizations. Our solutions enable customers to respond to evolving market needs and regulatory changes, while improving the efficiency of their core operations, thereby increasing revenues and reducing costs.

 

Majesco’s customers are insurers, managing general agents and other risk providers from the P&C, L&A and group insurance segments worldwide.

 

Majesco was previously 100% owned (directly or indirectly) by Mastek Ltd. (“Mastek Ltd.”), a publicly traded limited company domiciled in India whose equity shares are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange (India). Mastek Ltd. underwent a demerger through a scheme of arrangement under India’s Companies Act, 1956 pursuant to which its insurance related business was separated from Mastek Ltd.’s non-insurance related business and the insurance related operations of Mastek Ltd. that were not directly owned by Majesco were contributed to Majesco (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization was completed on June 1, 2015.

 

Majesco, along with its subsidiaries, operates in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and India (hereinafter referred to as the “Group”).

 

Merger with Cover-All Technologies Inc.

 

On June 26, 2015, Cover-All Technologies Inc. (“Cover-All”), an insurance software company listed on NYSE MKT, merged into Majesco in a 100% stock-for-stock merger, with Majesco surviving the merger.

 

In connection with the merger, Majesco’s common stock was listed on the NYSE MKT and began trading on the NYSE MKT on June 29, 2015. Pursuant to the merger, Cover-All’s stockholders and holders of its options and restricted stock units received equity or equity interests in Majesco representing approximately 16.5% of the total capitalization of the combined company in the merger.

 

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, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. The March 31, 2016 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, 2016 filed with the SEC on May 23, 2016 as amended (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.

 

In connection with the merger with Cover-All, the Group’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved a one for six reverse stock split of the Group’s common stock. The reverse stock split became effective June 22, 2015. All share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this reverse stock split, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid in capital. 

 

 7 

 

 

Mastek Ltd. maintained benefit and stock-based compensation programs at the parent company level. After the demerger of 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 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., Majesco Sdn. Bhd., Majesco UK Limited, Majesco (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Majesco Software and Solutions India Private Limited and Majesco Singapore as of December 31, 2016. 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

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), which, when effective, will supersede the guidance in former ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The new guidance requires entities to recognize revenue based on the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within that year for public companies and effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for private companies. Early adoption is not permitted. We will adopt this standard for the year ended March 31, 2019 and interim periods of the year ended March 31, 2020. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for the interim and annual reporting periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments” (“ASU 2015-16”). The FASB issued ASU 2015-16 to simplify US GAAP to require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect of changes to provisional, measurement period amounts calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date and disclose the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe that this updated standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 removes the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as either current or noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position and instead considers deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We do not believe that this updated standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees. In general, for lease arrangements exceeding a twelve month term, these arrangements must now be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 must be

 

 8 

 

 

calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. In addition, ASU 2016-02 requires the use of the modified retrospective method, which will require adjustment to all comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the implementation approach to be used.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-9, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact that the updated accounting guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards update 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) : Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-15 to decrease the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. The amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The company is currently evaluating the impact of that this updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Group is an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and is subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS 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 (the “Securities Act”), 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. The Group has taken the 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 fully with public company 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, derivative financial instruments, accounts receivables, unbilled accounts receivable, accounts payable, contingent consideration liability and accrued liabilities. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments in time deposits, restricted cash, accounts receivables, unbilled accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of the reporting date approximates their fair market value due to their 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 December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016:

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 has been done 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 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 Agile business during the earn-out period, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the terms of the Agile Agreement, respectively.

 

The total (losses)/gains attributable to contingent consideration payable for the acquisition of the Agile business were $(42),and $(118) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 respectively. The Group paid $1,503 to the sellers of the consulting business of Agile as earn out consideration in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.

 

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 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).

6. BORROWINGS

 

Line of Credit

 

On March 25, 2011, the Group entered into a secured revolving working capital line of credit facility with ICICI Bank Limited (“ICICI”) under which the maximum borrowing limit is $5,000. The interest rate on the credit facility at March 31, 2016 was three-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points and increased to three-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points with the second extension of this facility described below. The interest rate was 4.68% at December 31, 2016 and 4.13% at March 31, 2016. In case of unhedged foreign currency exposure, if any, ICICI reserves the right to increase the pricing of this facility. The credit facility is guaranteed by Mastek Ltd., subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the guarantee. The credit facility initially matured on November 11, 2015. On November 20, 2015, the Group extended this line of credit to February 11, 2016. The facility was further extended to May 9, 2016 and again extended to May 15, 2017. Majesco paid a processing fee of  $12.50 in connection with the second extension and a processing fee of  $50.83 in connection with the third extension. In connection with these extensions of the Majesco line of credit, Mastek Ltd. also extended its guarantee of such line of credit. Majesco has agreed to pay a fee and indemnify Mastek Ltd. against any payments made by Mastek Ltd. in connection with this guarantee.

 

This facility is secured by a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in, among other things, all of Majesco’s personal property and assets (both tangible and intangible), including accounts receivable, cash, certificated and uncertificated securities and proceeds of any insurance or indemnity payable to the Group with respect to the collateral. This facility contains financial covenants, as well as restrictions on, among other things, the ability of the Group to incur debt or liens; make loans and investments; enter into mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations; engage in asset sales; or amend its governing documents. This facility also restricts the Group from paying dividends upon and during the continuation of an event of default.

On January 20, 2017, the Group paid in full the balance under this facility with proceeds from a new $10,000 receivables purchase facility with HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC”), and terminated this facility.

 

PCFC Facilities

 

On June 30, 2015, the Group’s subsidiary, Majesco Software and Solutions India Pvt. Ltd.

The maximum borrowing limit is 300 million Indian rupees, or approximately $4,416 at the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2016. The interest rate on this PCFC facility is LIBOR plus 300 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% goodwill fixed deposit receipts in MSSIPL or Majesco Limited. As of December 31, 2016, the Group was in compliance with the terms of this facility. On September 27, 2016, MSSIPL extended this PCFC facility to June 17, 2017.

 

The outstanding loans as on December 31, 2016 are as follows:

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 will be 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  $1,666.67 shall be due and payable semi-annually. All principal and interest outstanding under the Note shall be 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 December 31, 2016, we had $10,000 outstanding under 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 holdings 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 fifty one percent (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 may use the loan proceeds solely for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures and working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

Majesco used the proceeds from the Facility to refinance its existing $3,000 term loan agreement with Punjab National Bank (International) Limited, capital expenditures and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The following table provides information of fair values of derivative financial instruments:

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.

 

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 through profit or loss.

 

The aggregate contracted principal amounts of the Group’s foreign exchange forward contracts (sell) outstanding as of December 31, 2016 amounted to $3,118 and as of March 31, 2016 amounted to $10,660, respectively. The outstanding forward contracts as of December 31, 2016 mature between 1 month to 15 months. As of December 31, 2016, the Group estimates that $59, net of tax, of the net 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 15 months.

 

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

 

The following table provides information of the amounts of pre-tax gains/(losses) recognized in and reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income “AOCI” of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges:

9. INCOME TAXES

 

The Group recognized income tax provision (benefit) of $57 and $(84), respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and recognized income tax provision/(benefit) of $(1,290) and $(1,588), respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015. The benefit during the three months ended December 31, 2016 is mainly on account of the creation of deferred tax assets on the pre-tax income.

 

The effective tax rate of 22% and 40%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 differs from the statutory US federal income tax rate of 39.3% mainly due to equity-based compensation, the impact of different tax jurisdictions and under accruals of prior periods.

10. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan

 

In the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized $326 and $960, respectively, in equity-based compensation expense in our consolidated financial statements compared to $246 and $504, respectively, in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015.

 

In June 2015, Majesco adopted the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). Under the 2015 Plan, options and stock awards for the purchase of up to 3,877,263 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 December 31, 2016, an aggregate of 1,259,374 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 volatilities are based on peer entities as the historical volatility of Majesco’s common stock is limited.  

 

- In accordance with SAB Topic 14, 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.

 

   2016   2015 
         
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   0.46%   0.46%

 

As of December 31, 2016, there was $3,867 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements previously granted by the Company. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years.

 

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

 

   Shares   Exercise Price
Per Share
   Weighted-Average

   Weighted-Average

Of the stock options outstanding, an aggregate of 575,175 are currently exercisable.

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“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 December 31, 2016, there were warrants to purchase 334,064 shares of common stock outstanding. A summary of the terms of the outstanding warrants as of December 31, 2016 is as follows:

On September 11, 2012, Cover-All entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) by and among Imperium Commercial Finance Master Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Imperium”), as lender, Cover-All Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cover-All (“Cover-All Systems”), as borrower, and Cover-All as guarantor. The Loan Agreement provided for a three-year term loan to Cover-All Systems of  $2,000 and a three-year revolving credit line to Cover-All Systems of up to $250,000, evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note in favor of Imperium (together with the Term Note, the “Imperium Notes”). Prior to the merger with Majesco, Cover-All paid in full the balance of the Imperium Notes.

 

In connection with the Loan Agreement, Cover-All issued to Imperium a five-year warrant to purchase 1,400,000 shares of Cover-All’s common stock at an exercise price of  $1.48 per share. Cover-All also issued five-year warrants to purchase 42,000 shares, in the aggregate, of Cover-All’s common stock at an exercise price of  $1.48 per share, to Monarch Capital Group, LLC (“Monarch”), which acted as Cover-All’s financial adviser in connection with the loan transaction, and to an officer of Monarch. All the warrants became exercisable on the date of the merger of Cover-All with Majesco. These issued and outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Cover-All common stock were not exercised or cancelled prior to the merger and were assumed by Majesco in accordance with their terms on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such warrants immediately prior to the merger, with the number of shares subject to, and the exercise price applicable to, such warrants being appropriately adjusted based on the merger exchange ratio of 0.21641. 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.

 

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 having 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 nine months ended December 31, 2016, 30,000 options were granted under ESOP plan 1 of Majesco Limited. The options were granted at the market price on the grant date.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the total future compensation cost related to non-vested options not yet recognized in the Statement of Operations was $1,535 and the weighted average period over which these awards are expected to be recognized was 2.16 years. The weighted average remaining contractual life of options expected to vest as of December 31, 2016 is 9.17 years.

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.

 

In the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, we accrued $1,561 and $4,653 respectively, in incentive compensation expense in our consolidated financial statements compared to $ 1,890 and $2,557 respectively, in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015.

 

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.

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 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 ordinary shares outstanding during the three and nine months periods plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential common shares into common shares.

 

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 774,481 and 2,613,642 shares and options, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2,390,787 shares and options for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 granted to employees, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

On December 14, 2014, Majesco entered into a definitive merger agreement with Cover-All. The merger was completed on June 26, 2015. Cover-All licenses and maintains software products for the property/casualty insurance industry throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Majesco merged with Cover-All to expand its insurance business in the United States.

 

The following table summarizes the consideration paid in the merger of Cover-All into Majesco and the amounts of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the merger date:

 

Fair value of consideration transferred    
Common stock  $12 
Additional paid-in capital   29,708 
Total consideration  $29,720 

 

The merger of Cover-All and Majesco was a stock-for-stock merger with each share of Cover-All common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Majesco common stock multiplied by the exchange ratio. The exchange ratio in the merger was 0.21641. Accordingly, at the closing of the merger, Cover-All in the aggregate represented 16.5% of the total capitalization of the combined company.

 

In the merger, 5,844,830 shares of Majesco common stock were issued to the shareholders of Cover-All and 197,081 equity incentives were issued to the holders of options and restricted stock units of Cover-All. Consequently, common stock of Majesco is increased by $12 and additional paid in capital is increased by $29,708.

The goodwill of $18,020 arising from the merger consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Majesco and Cover-All. Further, though workforce has been valued, it is not recognized separately, but subsumed in goodwill. Goodwill deductible for tax purpose amounts to Nil.

Overview

 

We are a global provider of core insurance software, consulting and services 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 software solutions for P&C, L&A and pensions group / employee benefits providers, allowing them to manage policy administration, claims management and billing management capabilities. In addition, we offer a variety of other technology-based solutions that are designed to enable organizations to automate and innovate business processes across the end-to-end insurance value chain and comply with policies and regulations across their organizations. Our solutions enable customers to respond to evolving market needs and regulatory changes, while improving the efficiency of their core operations, thereby increasing revenues and reducing costs.

 

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 startups, greenfields, and mid-market insurers, including specialty, mutual and regional carriers. As of December 31, 2016, we served approximately 150 insurance customers on a worldwide basis.

 

We generate revenues primarily from the licensing of our proprietary software and related implementation, support and maintenance fees pursuant to contracts with our customers. In general, we license software which requires significant modification or customization. In such cases, license revenue is not accounted for separately, but rather is accounted for along with software services revenue, as the services are an integral part of software functionality and include significant modification or customization of the software.

 

Our license agreements with our customers typically have terms ranging from fixed-year terms (which maybe renewable) to perpetual terms. Support services are provided to customers pursuant to multi-year support agreements, which are typically renewable on an annual basis. We bill customers for license fees in accordance with the terms of the applicable license agreement, typically payable upon the signing of the agreement and achievement of milestones over the course of a defined period of time. Support fees are payable in advance by the customer on an annualized, quarterly or monthly basis. We primarily derive service revenues from implementation and training services performed for our customers under the terms of a service contract on a time and materials or fixed-price basis.

$3.95 million (13.17% of revenue) in research and development expenses;

 

$10.56 million (35.18% of revenue) in sales, general and administrative expenses;

 

Net profit of  $0.21 million; and

 

Adjusted EBITDA of  $1.75 million, representing 5.82% of revenue.

 

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2016 Highlights

 

A few of our highlights of our nine months ended December 31, 2016 were:

 

Revenues of  $93.6 million with a gross profit of 48%;

 

$13.01 million (13.90% of revenue) in research and development expenses;

 

$31.87 million (34.05% of revenue) in sales, general and administrative expenses;

 

Net loss of  $0.12 million; and

 

Adjusted EBITDA of  $4.45 million, representing 4.76% of revenue.

 

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 (i) one-time non-recurring exceptional costs related to the merger with Cover-All and the listing of the Majesco common stock on the NYSE MKT in connection with the merger, and (ii) equity-based compensation.

 

The terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or 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 nine months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, see “— Results of Operations — Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2015”.

 

Agile Asset Acquisition

 

On January 1, 2015, we acquired substantially all of the insurance consulting business of Agile, a business and technology management consulting firm. We estimate the total consideration for the Agile asset acquisition will amount to approximately $8.5 million, with a total maximum of  $9.2 million possible depending on earn-out payments. Of the estimated approximately $8.5 million total consideration, (1) $1.0 million was paid in connection with the execution of the acquisition agreement and $2.0 million was paid in connection with the closing of the acquisition with available cash on hand, (2) approximately $0.39 million 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 $5.1 million 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 $5.8 million if performance targets are exceeded. We funded the consideration for this acquisition and all related costs to date using available cash on hand. We subsequently refinanced a portion of the consideration for this acquisition and related costs through borrowings of approximately $3 million under a term loan.

 

 25 

 

 

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.

 

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  $583,333 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 $1.5 million as earn-out to Agile in fiscal 2016.

 

Cover-All Merger

 

On June 26, 2015, 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 MKT, merged 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 MGAs 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 nine months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. 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 Risks.”

 

 26 

 

 

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.

 

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 whether professional services revenue should be accounted, 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.

 

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.

 

We also enter into multiple element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a combination of a software license, hosting services, maintenance, and professional services. For multiple element arrangements that contain non-software related elements, for example our hosting services, we allocate revenue to each element based upon VSOE of the undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method.” VSOE of fair value for the hosting, maintenance, and other post-contract customer support services (“PCS”) is established by a stated renewal rate charged in stand-alone renewals of each type of PCS.

 

 27 

 

 

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.).

 

Non-compete agreements 3 years
   
Leasehold benefits 7 years
   
Internal-use Software 1-5 years
   
Customer contracts 1 year
   
Customer relationships 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 combined Statement of Operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to combined 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

 

Change in Fiscal Year End

 

We changed our fiscal year-end from June 30 to March 31, effective with our fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

Revenues

 

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $30,012 compared to $29,625 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, reflecting an increase of 1.30%. The moderate increase was due to a slowdown in the L&A business and the impact to the exchange rate on the GBP for the UK business.

 

Revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 were $93,612 compared to $80,996 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 reflecting an increase of 15.58%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to revenues from new customers added during this period, expanding relationships with our current P&C customers in both IP as well as solution based services and the revenue contribution from the business of Cover-All.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit was $14,702 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared with $12,558 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of 17.07%. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to new projects being delivered at higher margins and improved efficiencies. Gross profit percentage for the three months ended December 31, 2016 increased to 49% from 42.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

 

Gross profit was $44,911 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared with $36,045 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of 24.59%. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to the combination of a higher

revenue base, an emphasis on operating efficiencies, and a higher proportion of our cloud business. Gross profit percentage for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 increased to 48% from 45% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

 

Salaries and consultant fees were $9,340 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $13,132 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. This represents a decrease of 28.88% in salaries and consultant fees. As a percentage of revenues, salaries and consultant fees decreased from 44.32% for the three months ended December 31, 2015 to 31.12% for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

 

Salaries and consultant fees were $29,083 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $33,050 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. This represents a decrease of 12% in salaries and consultant fees. As a percentage of revenues, salaries and consultant fees decreased from 40.80% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 to 31.07% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses were $14,510 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $14,845 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $43 and a decrease in research and development costs of $292. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses decreased to 48% for the three months ended December 31, 2016 from 50% for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues was a result of increased overall efficiency in operating costs.

 

Operating expenses were $44,882 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $39,781 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $4,187 and an increase in research and development costs of $1,379, offset by a decrease in restructuring costs of $465 due to the consummation of the Majesco Reorganization. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly due to planned investments in our sales and marketing efforts and the addition of the Cover-All business. As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses decreased to 48% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 from 49% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues was a result of overall efficiency in operating costs.

 

Income from Operations

 

Income/(Loss) from operations was $192 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to ($2,288) for the three months ended December 31, 2015. As a percentage of revenues, net profit from operations was 0.65% for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to net loss of 8% for the three months ended December 31, 2015 because of an emphasis on operating efficiencies and cost savings which are beginning to show results.

 

Income/(Loss) from operations was $29 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to ($ 3,737) for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. As a percentage of revenues, net income from operations was 0.03% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to net loss of 5% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 because of an emphasis on operating efficiencies and cost savings which are beginning to show results.

 

Other Income

 

Other income (net) was $208 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $(22) for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The increase is mainly due to a currency exchange gain in the three months ended December 31, 2016.

 

Other income (net) was $222 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $353 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in currency exchange gain in the nine months ended December 31, 2016.

 

Tax provision

 

We recognized income tax provision / (benefit) of $57 and $(84) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and recognized income tax provision/(benefit) of ($1,290) and ($1,588) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015. The benefit during the quarter is mainly on account of the creation of deferred tax assets on the losses during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

 

The effective tax rate of 22% and 40% respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 differs from the statutory US federal income tax rate of 39.3% mainly due to stock based compensation, R&D credit, the impact of different tax jurisdictions and under accruals of prior periods.

Net Income

 

Net profit was $209 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 compared to net loss of $1,130 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Net profit per share, basic and diluted, was $0.01 and $0.01 respectively, for the three months ended December 31 2016 compared to net loss per share, basic and diluted, of $0.03 and $0.03, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

 

Net loss was $123 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to net loss of $2,024 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, was $0.00 and $0.00, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to net loss per share, basic and diluted, of $0.06 and $0.06, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, was $1,747 and $4,454 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to $(1,081) and $177 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015.

 

The following is an unaudited reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 and the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash and cash equivalent and short term investments position was $19,544 at December 31, 2016 and $9,733 at December 31, 2015.

 

Net cash generated by operating activities was $13,192 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and $(6,094) for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. We had accounts receivable of $15,454 at December 31, 2016 and $22,503 at March 31, 2016. The overall net debt position has reduced by $9.9 million with improved collections during the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Days outstanding are down to 69 days at the end of December 31, 2016 as compared to 96 days at the end of March 31, 2016.

 

Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $(3,382) for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to cash generated of $1,222 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 primarily due to the purchase of property, equipment and intangible assets during the nine months ended December 31, 2016. During the nine months ended December 31, 2015, cash generated by investing activities increased by $2,990 due to our acquisition of Cover-All.

 

Net cash generated by financing activities was $3,347 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016, compared to net cash generated by financing activities of $7,557 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 mainly due to decreased borrowings under our secured PCFC facility, working capital line of credit and term loan.

 

We believe that our cash flows from operations and available borrowings are sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements

 

 32 

 

 

for the next 12 months, including capital expenditures.

 

Financing Arrangements

 

On March 25, 2011, we entered into a secured revolving working capital line of credit facility with ICICI Bank Limited (“ICICI”) under which the maximum borrowing limit is $5,000. The interest rate on the credit facility at March 31, 2016 was three-month LIBOR plus 350 basis points and increased to three-month LIBOR plus 375 basis points with the second extension of this facility described below. The interest rate was 4.68% at December 31, 2016 and 4.13% at March 31, 2016. In case of unhedged foreign currency exposure, ICICI reserves the right to increase the pricing of this facility. The credit facility is guaranteed by Mastek Ltd. subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the guarantee. The credit facility initially matured on November 11, 2015.

 

On November 20, 2015, we extended this line of credit to February 11, 2016. The facility was further extended to May 9, 2016 and again extended to May 15, 2017. Majesco paid a processing fee of  $12.50 in connection with the second extension and a processing fee of  $50.83 in connection with the third extension. In connection with these extensions of the Majesco line of credit, Mastek Ltd. also extended its guarantee of such line of credit. We have agreed to pay a fee and indemnify Mastek Ltd. against any payments made by Mastek Ltd. in connection with this guarantee.

 

This facility is secured by a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in, among other things, all of Majesco’s personal property and assets (both tangible and intangible), including accounts receivable, cash, certificated and uncertificated securities and proceeds of any insurance or indemnity payable to us with respect to the collateral. This facility contains financial covenants, as well as restrictions on, among other things, our ability to incur debt or liens; make loans and investments; enter into mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations; engage in asset sales; or amend our governing documents. This facility also restricts us from paying dividends upon and during the continuation of an event of default.

 

As of December 31, 2016, we had $5,000 of borrowings outstanding, and were in compliance with all covenants, under this facility. On January 20, 2017, the Group paid in full the balance under this facility with proceeds from a new $10,000 receivables purchase facility with HSBC, and terminated this facility.

 

On June 30, 2015, our subsidiary, MSSIPL, entered into a secured Pre Shipment in Foreign Currency and Post Shipment in Foreign Currency (“PCFC”) facility with YES Bank under which we may request 3 months pre-export advances and advances against export collection bills. The maximum borrowing limit is 300 million Indian rupees (or approximately $4,416 at the exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2016. The interest rate on this PCFC facility is 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% goodwill fixed deposit receipts in MSSIPL or Majesco Limited. As of December 31, 2016, we had $2,200 of borrowings outstanding under this PCFC facility bearing interest at 3.88% and were in compliance with the terms of this facility. On September 27, 2016, MSSIPL extended this PCFC facility to June 17, 2017.

 

On July 27, 2015, MSSIPL entered into a Credit Arrangement Letter with ICICI for packing credit in foreign currency and post-shipment credit in foreign currency. Under this facility, MSSIPL may borrow up to 150 million Indian Rupees in short term borrowings for working capital, including software and related services. This facility expired on July 8, 2016 and was not renewed.

 

On August 28, 2015, MSSIPL entered into a Facility Letter with Standard Chartered Bank for pre-shipment financing and overdraft facilities. Under this facility, MSSIPL may borrow up to 50 million Indian Rupees in short term borrowings. This facility expired on August 28, 2016 and was not renewed.

 

On March 23, 2016, we entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with HSBC pursuant to which HSBC agreed to extend loans to us in the amount of up to $10,000 and we 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 will be 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  $1,666.67 shall be due and payable semi-annually. All principal and interest outstanding under the Note shall be 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 our parent company, Majesco Limited. As of December 31, 2016, we had $10,000 outstanding under this Facility.

 

The Facility contains affirmative covenants that require us 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 us, including restrictions on declaring or paying dividends upon and during the continuation of an event of default, incurring additional indebtedness, selling material portions of our assets or undertaking other substantial changes to the business, purchasing or holdings 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 fifty one percent (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 we will indemnify HSBC against all losses or damages related to the Facility, provided, however, that we shall not have any indemnification obligations to HSBC for any claims caused by HSBC’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. We may use the loan proceeds solely for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures and working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

 33 

 

 

We used proceeds from the Facility to refinance our $3,000 term loan with Punjab National Bank (International) Limited, to fund capital expenditures and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

On January 13, 2017, we and our subsidiaries MSSI, and Cover-All Systems, jointly and severally entered into the Receivable Purchase Agreement with HSBC. Under the Receivable Purchase Agreement, HSBC may advance funds against the Receivables at an agreed advance rate. The outstanding aggregate amount of all advances shall not exceed the Facility Limit. The facility also bears interest at two (2%) per cent plus the ninety (90) day LIBOR rate. HSBC will also receive an arrangement fee equal to .20% of the Facility Limit and a facility review fee equal to .20% of the Facility Limit. We will serve as HSBC’s agent for the collection of Receivables, and we will collect and otherwise enforce payment of the Receivables. 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 us for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

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 $2,200 under the PCFC facility, $5,000 under working capital line with ICICI and $10,000 under our term loan with HSBC at December 31, 2016 from $4,651, $2,300 and $6,800, respectively, on March 31, 2016.

 

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” under the federal securities laws subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS 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 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 the 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 fully with public company accounting standards.

 

Item 3.Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

 

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 investments as of December 31, 2016 were $18,047 and $2,548, 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 working capital line with ICICI, our PCFC facility and our term loan with HSBC which were in effect as of December 31, 2016, are variable and are based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin. As of December 31, 2016, we had $5,000 and $2,200 in borrowings outstanding under our working capital line with ICICI and PCFC facility, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, we had borrowed $10,000 under our term loan with HSBC. 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.

 

 34 

 

 

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 10.10% and 11.18%, respectively, of our gross revenues outside of the United States for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 compared to 10.08% and 12.08%, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents resulted in a loss of $(230) and a loss of $(79) for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, compared to a loss of $ (680) and a loss of $(4) for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had a foreign exchange gain/(loss) of approximately $(178) and $(.22), respectively, compared to a foreign exchange gain/(loss) of approximately $(181.51 and $179.07, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

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 December 31, 2016 amounted to $3,118. The outstanding forward contracts as of December 31, 2016 mature between 1 month to 12 months. As of December 31, 2016, we estimate that $58, 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 12 months. The outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2016 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.

 

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:

 

   Noncurrent*   Current*   Noncurrent*   Current* 
As of December 31, 2016                    
Designated as hedging instruments under Cash Flow Hedges                    
Foreign exchange forward contracts  $6   $81   $0   $0 
Total  $6   $81   $0   $0 

 

  * 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 nine months ended December 31, 2016.

 

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 SEC’s 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

 

 35 

 

 

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 December 31, 2016. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, 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.
