herein to a fiscal (e.g., fiscal 2010), are to the fiscal ended March 31 of a particular year. In this DRHP, any
discrepancies in any table between the total and the sum of the amounts listed are due to rounding-off.

There are significant differences between Indian GAAP, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and

the Companies Act and the ICDR Regulations on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring

3. Our relationship with Wincor Nixdorf, POSTEC and FFM contribute substantially to our business. We are also
dependent on the continuance of the said arrangements and those with other global suppliers for the
implementation of our existing customer contracts.

We have business arrangements with Wincor Nixdorf, POSTEC and FFM for supply of goods for our business.
Wincor Nixdorf, POSTEC and FFM collectively contributed 70.90%, 65.00% and 70.66% of the total raw
materials consumed and products traded by us for FY 2010, FY 2009 and FY 2008 respectively. Further, majority
of our contracts with our customers relating to the supply of products from Wincor Nixdorf, POSTEC and FFM
are based upon the continuance of the arrangements with them.

The termination or cessation of our relationship with Wincor Nixdorf, POSTEC and / or FFM for any reason
whatsoever, would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Further, the termination of the said arrangements may cause us to default on our obligations under
various customer contracts and in turn render us liable for breach of contract, damages and various legal
proceedings.

Further, we have also entered into other distributorship arrangements with foreign entities for supply of
various products for our business in India. Our ability to operate our business is dependent on our ability to
maintain the business relationship with the existing global suppliers or to renew the arrangements upon their
scheduled expiration or to achieve certain targets as mutually agreed with the global suppliers.

In the event, the arrangements with the global suppliers including arrangements with Wincor Nixdorf, POSTEC
and FFM are not renewed, we will have to find new suppliers who would supply the appropriate goods for our
business and in the event we are unable to find new suppliers, it can have a material adverse effect on our
business.

For details on the arrangements with our suppliers please refer to section titled “History and Other Corporate
Matters” beginning on page 111 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

4. Our agreement and arrangement with Wincor Nixdorf is on a non-exclusive basis.

Our agreement with Wincor Nixdorf is on a non-exclusive basis. We procure substantial amount of products
from Wincor Nixdorf for our business and if Wincor Nixdorf supplies its products to other parties, it may
adversely affect our business and financial conditions.

5. Recovering costs for expenditures incurred to act as semi autonomous IAD’s may take time depending upon the
number of transactions at various ATM sites.

Our new initiative to act as semi-autonomous IADs involve capital expenditure and upfront operating expenses
for setting up ATM sites. The costs incurred by us for setting up the ATM sites may take time to recover which
is dependent on the number of transactions taking place at the various ATM sites. If there are less number of
transactions at a particular ATM site for whatever reason, the same will result in our Company losing revenue
from such site thereby increasing the time period to recover costs of setting up the ATM sites and
simultaneously having a material adverse impact on the business of our Company.
13
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

6. We have limited operating history in our new role as semi-autonomous independent ATM deployers (“semi
autonomous IAD”), for which we are primarily raising money through the Issue.

We are currently working towards a new initiative to act as semi-autonomous IADs and the activities to be
carried out under this new role forms a part of the object of this Issue.

We have no significant operating history in this new venture from which our future prospects and viability can
be evaluated. Our inability to effectively develop and operate the semi autonomous IAD business could
adversely affect our business prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

7. Our new role as semi autonomous IAD will require us to take ATM sites on rent thereby increasing our
expenses and liability for site identification, payment of fees and other expenses towards the ATM sites and
any other claims which may arise from such transactions.

Our role as semi autonomous IADs will increase our liability and obligations with respect to ATM site
identification, entering into agreements with third parties for taking these ATM sites on rent, making payments
towards fees and other expenses for such sites and any other obligations which may be imposed on us under
the agreements with the third parties. In the event we are unable to carry out any obligations under these
agreements, the third parties may make such claims against us which may adversely affect our financial
conditions and business operations.

8. Under the semi autonomous IAD model we may be held liable by the bank for loss/ theft of cash in transit and
also during the time the cash is stored in the vaults till such time the cash is replenished in the ATMs.

replenishment agency engaged by us for the purpose of collecting, picking up, storing in the vault and carrying
the cash from the bank to the ATMs or at the time of replenishment of such cash in the ATMs. In the event there
is any claim against us for such loss/ theft of cash the same may adversely affect our financial conditions and
operating results.

9. We are yet to finalise ATM sites for all the ATM’s to be installed under the ATM Network Deployment and
Management Agreement between our Company and AXIS Bank Limited dated March 15, 2010 and the
Addendum Agreement between our Company and AXIS Bank Limited dated June 21, 2010.

Under the abovementioned agreements, our Company is required to locate 1607 ATM sites to install the ATM’s
for Axis Bank Limited. Currently we have located only 66 ATM sites and we are still in the process of locating
1541 ATM sites as proosed under the “Objects of the Issue”. In the event we are unable to locate the ATM sites
we will be unable to adhere to the provisions of the above agreements which may result in a breach of the above
mentioned agreements which can have a material adverse effect on our business expansion plans.

For details on the above please refer to section titled “Objects of the Issue” and “Business Overview”

10. We are subject to certain restrictive covenants under the Co-operation Agreement with Wincor Nixdorf.

or promoting products of a third party supplier or those that compete with the products supplied by Wincor
Nixdorf, whether local or imported as the same can be supplied only after providing Wincor Nixdorf with a
prior written notice of 3 (three) months for the same. Non-compliance of the provisions under the agreement
shall entitle Wincor Nixdorf to revoke/terminate the agreement and/or exercise any other rights under the

material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

11. We may be exposed to the risk of increase in price of products which we purchase from our global suppliers
which in turn would increase our product prices which are sold to our customers, reducing orders from our
customers.

We are exposed to the risk of increase in price of products purchased from our global suppliers. In the event
there is an increase in the purchase price, the selling price of our products may also increase to that extent. Such
increase in procurement cost may impact our margins and / or our purchase orders.

Our products are sold at a fixed price based on the orders placed by our customers. Any variance in cost of the
products due to increase in taxes or other charges cannot be recovered from the customers since the orders are
placed on a fixed price basis and such additional costs will have to be borne by our Company which may have a
material adverse impact on our financial condition and business operations.

12. Our business in certain segments including petroleum and banking is dependant on securing tenders.

Some of our customer orders especially in petroleum and banking segments are based on tenders. With the rise
in competition in these segments, we may face the risk of being outbid by a competitor on the aspects of
pricing and other terms of the tender. Hence, in such tenders there is limited scope for negotiations which may
adversely affect our financial conditions and business operations.

13. We may be held liable for claims of or from customers on account of any defects in the services or
manufacturing defects in the products supplied to our customers / clients including penalty for delay in
implementation of contracts with customers.

We have entered into contracts with our customers whereunder we are required to provide a variety of services.
In the event of any loss caused to our customer on account of an act or omission by us and such act or omission
being a breach of the customer agreement, we may be held liable for the same and may be required to make
good such losses, pay damages etc, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our financial results and
business prospects.

Further, we may be exposed to warranty and other claims for manufacturing defects in the products supplied
under certain customer contracts including warranty for any software provided by us to our customer. In the
event of any of our customers claiming that there are defects in the products, we may be subject to damages and
other costs, which may adversely affect our financial conditions, business and reputation.

Further, the contracts with our customers are generally time bound and contain provisions which may attract
payment of penalty to the customer in the event there is a delay in delivery or services. Failure to adhere to
contractually agreed timelines for reasons other than for force majeure events could make us liable to pay
penalty and/or lead to forfeiture of security deposits, etc. which may adversely affect our financial conditions
and results of operation.

14. Our business is dependent on our continuing relationship with our customers.

Our business is dependent on a continuing relationship with our customers. Any reduction or interruption in
the business from customers, or a substantial decrease in orders placed by customers may have an adverse
impact on the revenues and operations of our Company.

Our business may also be materially affected if there is a slow down in the business of our customers due to
which there is a reduction of orders placed by our customers

15. Our business relating to the banking sector is highly dependent on the regulatory framework and policies
framed by the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”) from time to time applicable to banks with respect to setting up
of ATMs.

15
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Our business of supply, installation and maintenance of ATMs is highly dependent on the regulatory policies
framed by RBI from time to time which are applicable to banks with respect to setting up of ATMs. In the event
of any change in policies by the RBI which may either restrict the banks from utilising the assistance of third
parties/service providers including semi-autonomous independent ATM deployers for installation and
maintenance of ATMs or restricts the number of ATMs which can be set up by the banks, the same shall have a
material adverse effect on the business including financial conditions and operating results.

16. Our intended use of proceeds from the Issue has not been appraised by any bank or financial institution.

The proceeds being raised through the Issue are intended to be utilised for acting as semi autonomous IAD’s,
setting up command centres, cash management branch offices and setting up financial transaction processing
switch. The proposed activities and expenditure for which the proceeds are being raised through this Issue have
not been appraised by any bank or financial institution and the requirement of proceeds are based primarily on
management estimates. There is no guarantee that our management estimates will prove to be accurate and any
significant deviation in the projected estimates could adversely impact our operations and financial conditions.

17. Our Company is yet to finalize 4 premises for setting up the currency management vaults for the Objects of the
Issue.

We are in the process of locating and finalizing 4 premises to set up our currency management vaults for storing
money which shall be in transit to be deposited at the various ATM sites. Currently, we have located and
finalized only 2 premises for the said purpose. In the event we are unable to locate the additional places it will
be difficult to manage all the cash in transit as proposed in the “Objects of the Issue” which can have a material
adverse effect on our business expansion plans.

For details on the proposed cash management vaults and the property documents please refer to section titled
“Objects of the Issue” and “Business Overview” respectively.

18. Our Company is proposing to use 2 premises at TTC Industrial Area, Mhape for the purpose of starting the
command centres as proposed in the Objects of the Issue which have been allotted to Mr. Ravi B. Goyal, as
proprietor of Advanced Graphic Systems and not allotted to our Company.

We are proposing to use 2 premises situated at EL 82 and 83 at TTC Industrial Area, Mhape for starting our
command centre. The possessions of the said premises have been given to Mr. Ravi B. Goyal, as proprietor of
Advanced Graphic Systems. The handing over of the legal title to the said premises to Mr. Ravi B. Goyal, as
proprietor of Advanced Graphic Systems shall be pursuant to the execution of an agreement between MIDC
and Mr. Ravi B. Goyal which is still in the process of finalisation. Once the agreement is executed by Advanced
Graphic Systems, they shall seek permission from MIDC to lease the said premises to our Company for the
proposed command centre. In the event Advanced Graphic Systems receives the consent then we shall execute
a lease agreement with Advanced Graphic Systems for the said premises. However, in the event we do not
receive the consent from MIDC we will be unable to start our operations of the command centre in the said
premises which shall have a material adverse effect on our business and the expansion plans.

For details on the proposed command centre and the property documents please refer to section titled “Objects
of the Issue” and “Business Overview” respectively.

19. Non compliance of certain terms of the lease agreement with MIDC relating to premises situated at Business
Millennium Park, block ‘A’ Unit Nos. 19, 20 & 21 ground floor, building no. 2 (A-3) in sector 1 in the TTC
Industrial Area, Thane District

MIDC has, vide lease agreement dated August 11, 2006, given to us on lease, premises situated at Business
Millennium Park, block ‘A’ Unit Nos. 19, 20 & 21 ground floor, building no. 2 (A-3) in sector 1 in the TTC
Industrial Area, Thane District. As per the terms of the said lease agreement, we are required to obtain the
consent of MIDC, prior to transfer of any interest in the premises. We have not complied with the said condition

16
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

and neither have we obtained any no-objection certificate from MIDC for mortaging the said premises in favour
of lender banks. The non-compliance with the above condition may entitle MIDC to terminate the lease
agreement thereby, adversely affecting our business, operations and financial conditions.

20. Documents pertaining to certain immovable properties occupied on license basis suffer from irregularities in
title.

The leave and license agreements pertaining to some of our premises including our registered office have not
been registered under the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908 and/or have not been stamped in accordance
with the applicable stamp acts. Consequently, the said documents may be inadmissible as evidence in a court of
law, unless the defects are rectified.

21. Most of our facilities and offices are situated on leasehold properties and we are subject to the risks, including
non-renewal, termination and disputes, associated with such contracts.

We have entered into lease / leave and license agreements for most of our manufacturing facilities and offices.
These agreements may not be renewed when they expire and in some events may be terminated prior to their
expiration. Moreover, since the arrangements are subject to renewal from time to time on mutually agreeable
terms, there may be an increase in lease rentals payable. Failure to renew the said lease agreements would
adversely impact our revenues from business operations, financial condition and profitability. For further
details in respect of the said lease agreements please refer to the section titled ‘Business Overview’ beginning on
page 80 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

22. We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

During FY 2010, we have incurred expenses in foreign currency amounting to approximately INR 153.21 Lacs.
Such expenses have been incurred in purchasing products from our global suppliers at prices which were
mutually decided between us and our suppliers. Changes in the value of currencies with respect to the Rupee
may cause fluctuations in our operating results expressed in Rupees, and a possible appreciation of the foreign
currencies with respect to the Rupee may have an unfavorable impact on such results. We have further incurred
expenses towards capital goods while acting in the capacity as a semi autonomous IAD in foreign currency
which is also exposed to currency fluctuations. In the course of normal business, we may cover foreign
exchange risks using standard market instruments, however, we cannot assure that we will be able to
effectively mitigate the adverse impact of currency fluctuations on our operating results.

Fluctuations in the value of the INR to other currencies may impact our Company’s revenue, cost of sales and
services and operating margins and may result in foreign currency losses. However, our Company has not
adopted any method or means to hedge such fluctuation risks. Given the volatile currency market, hedging
strategies may be required to eliminate the potential loss that might accrue due to currency market fluctuations.

23. We have not made any Overseas Direct Investment (“ODI”) filings with the RBI for the investment made by us
in our subsidiary which is incorporated in Singapore.

We subscribed to 100 shares of AGS Infotech Singapore Pte Limited, our wholly owned subsidiary on March 6,
2009. Pursuant to investing in the shares of the subsidiary we have not made any ODI filings as required under
the regulations prescribed by RBI. In the event we do not make the requisite filings we may be liable to face
compounding charges for such non-compliance. Any penalty imposed on us for such compounding charges
may have a material adverse effect.

24. Some of our trademarks and copyrights have not been registered. Consequently we may not be able to
effectively protect our intellectual property.

We have filed applications for our trademarks and copyrights which are pending with the relevant authorities.
Further, there is no assurance that the applications will be approved by the relevant authorities. In addition, our

17
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

applications for the registration of such trademarks and copyrights may be opposed by third parties. In the
event we are not able to obtain registrations in respect of such trade mark and copy right applications, we may
not be able to obtain statutory protections available under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and the Copyright Act,
1957, as otherwise available for registered trademarks and copyrights. Consequently, we are subject to the
various risks arising out of the same, including but not limited to infringement or passing off our name and
logo by a third party. Except as mentioned above, we have not applied for any other form of intellectual
property protection.

trademarks which are either registered in the name of Mr. Ravi B. Goyal or an application for registration has
been made in the name of Mr. Ravi B. Goyal. The License Agreement entitles Mr. Ravi B. Goyal to terminate the
agreement by giving us prior written notice of 4 months. In the event Mr. Ravi B. Goyal terminates the License
Agreement, we will be unable to use the trademarks specified in the License Agreement for the purpose of our
business which may result in a material loss to us.

beginning on page 234 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

The licenses and approvals required to be obtained by us for the purpose of carrying on our existing and

municipal rules and regulations. Further, the grant of the licenses are contingent upon the satisfaction of certain

the Company. Consequently, there may be a substantial amount of delay in the receipt of the required
approvals.

penal action against us, restraining our operations, imposition of fines/ penalties or initiating legal proceedings.
Consequently, failure or delay to obtain the above approvals could adversely affect our business, financial

managerial personnel or attracting new key management personnel in the future. Further, some of our KMP’s

or towards capital restructuring may lead to dilution of equity and in turn may affect the price of our Equity
Shares.

34. We may fail to attract and retain trained employees as competition for skilled personnel is intense.

The industry in which we operate is dependent on the quality of people and our success depends largely upon
our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualified employees, including our ability to attract employees with
required skills in the geographic areas in which we operate. In the event that we are unable to retain our
existing employees or attract new talent, the future of our business and operations may be adversely affected.

35. We may be held liable for any wrongful acts or omission of our employees or third party contractors while they
are rendering their services for us.

We are at the risk of being held liable for any wrongful act or omission of our employees or third party
contractors engaged by us for our business while they are rendering their services for us. Such liability may lead
to imposition of penalty and/ or legal action against us which may adversely affect our financial conditions and
results of operation.

36. Our results of operations could be adversely affected by strikes, work stoppages or increased wage demands by
our employees or other disputes with our employees.

We believe that none of our employees are affiliated with any labor unions. However, there can be no assurance
that our employees will not form a union, join any existing union or otherwise organize themselves into a
union. In the event our employees organize themselves into a union or join any union and go on strikes, stop
work or make such demands which the management cannot fulfill our business including financial conditions
and results of operation may be adversely affected..

37. We are subject to restrictive covenants in certain debt facilities provided to us by our lenders.

There are restrictive covenants in agreements we have entered into with certain banks for borrowings. These
restrictive covenants require us to seek the prior permission of the said banks for various activities, such as
effecting any change in the capital structure, declaration of dividends for any year except out of profits relating
to that year, implementing any scheme of expansion or acquire fixed assets, enter into borrowing arrangements
with any bank/FI/company, issuing new securities, changing the management, merger, consolidation, sale of
assets, creating subsidiaries or making certain investments, and certain financial covenants may limit our ability
to borrow additional money or to incur additional liens. We have been able in the past to obtain required lender
consents for desired actions, but there can be no assurance that such consents will be obtained in the future.

38. Our assets have been charged in favour of our lenders.

We have availed of financial assistance and credit facilities from various banks and financial institutions. As
security for such financial assistance and credit facilities, the lenders have created a charge on our assets. In this
regard, our Promoter and one of our directors have furnished personal guarantees in favor of the lenders.

Failure to repay the loans or adhere to the terms and conditions of the loan agreements, the lenders inter alia,
have the right to dispose off the assets charged. Consequently, in the event we are in breach of the loan
agreements, the ensuing rights available to the lenders may adversely affect our business and operation.

39. Our insurance coverage may not adequately protect us against certain operating hazards.

20
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Operating and managing our business involves many risks that may adversely affect our operations. To cover
ourselves against such risks we have obtained various insurance policies. We maintain general liability
insurance coverage in relation to our assets, stocks, and properties. We believe that our insurance coverage is
generally consistent with industry practice. We have also maintained insurance coverage as specified under
certain agreements executed with customers. However, to the extent that any uninsured risks materialize or we
fail to effectively cover ourselves for any risks, we could be exposed to substantial costs and losses that would
adversely affect results of operations.

In addition, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more
large claims, or that our insurers will not disclaim coverage as to any claims. A successful assertion of one or
more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage or that leads to adverse changes in
our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of a large deductible or co- insurance
requirement, could adversely affect our results of operations.

For details on the insurance policies, please refer to section titled “Business Overview” beginning on page 80 of
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

40. We may not be able to keep pace with the changing technology affecting our industry including keeping pace
with superior technology which may be developed by our competitors and other players in the industry.

Our management believes that our business is based on technology which may be subject to technological
changes periodically. We cannot guarantee that our revenue model would not undergo any change, if there are
sustained innovations/ technological advancement to our line of business incuding the industry in which we
operate. Besides we may not be able to eliminate, sustain technological advantage that it may currently enjoy
over its competitors or render our technology obsolete. Our failure to improve the existing technology with the
changing times and requirements or to respond in a timely manner to changing market dynamics or client
requirements would have a material adverse affect on its business, prospects, financial conditions and results of
operations.

41. The Company’s revenues and profits are difficult to predict and may vary considerably from quarter to quarter.
The Company’s historical financial data may not be an indicator of future performance.

The Company’s revenues may fluctuate in the future, depending upon the demand from our customers/ clients
Our total operating expenses of the Company’s business, particularly towards wages and facility costs, are
fixed in nature for any particular quarter and are incurred whether contracts/ purchase orders for products are
booked or not. As a result, any shortfall in order bookings or execution; may cause significant variations in the
operating results in any particular quarter and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,
growth, financial condition and results of operations.

Our financial statements are not indicative of the level of revenues we expect to earn and the expenditures we
expect to incur in the future and will not be indicative in any way of our future profitability.

42. Any penalty or action taken by any regulatory authorities in future for non-compliance of Section 383A of the
Companies Act, 1956 could impact financial position of the Company to that extent.

Our Company has not complied with the provisions of Section 383A of the Companies Act, 1956 during the
period beginning March 31, 2006 till September 16, 2010 (for 4 years 6 months) as the Company had not
appointed any Company Secretary during the said period. Thereby there was a non-compliance of Section 383A
of the Act for a total period of 4 years 6 months. This may attract a liability as per the provisions of the Act. No
show cause notice in respect of the above has been received by the Company from the office of Registrar of the
Companies till date. We have suo moto filed a compounding application with the ROC in Form 61 on September
17, 2010 and we are in the process of filing the compounding petition shortly. Any penalty imposed for such
non-compliance in the future by any regulatory authority could affect our financial conditions to that extent.

21
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

43. We have entered into and will continue to enter into related party transactions.

We have entered into transactions with several related parties, including our Promoter, Directors and group
companies. Whilst we believe that all such transactions have been conducted on an “arm’s length basis”, there
can be no assurance that we could not have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions not been
entered into with related parties.

Furthermore, it is likely that we may enter into related party transactions in the future. There can be no
assurance that such transactions individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our
business and results of operations. For details on related party transactions, please refer to “Financial
Statements – Related Party Transactions” beginning on page 141 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

44. The Company does not have a track record for payment of dividend on equity shares.

The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on the Equity Shares in the past. The amount of
future dividend payments, if any, will depend upon the Company’s future earnings, financial condition, cash
flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other factors including recommendation of our
Board of Directors.

45. Increase in interest rates for loans availed by us from banks may adversely impact our results of operations.

The loans availed by us are subject to payment of interest. We are exposed to the risk of increase in interest rates
by the banks for repayment of the loans availed by us. Any increase in expenses to be incurred by us while
paying interest on the loans availed may have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial
condition and result of operations.

46. There exists a potential conflict of interest between our Company and certain ventures promoted by our
Promoter.

One of group entity, Advanced Graphic Systems and Fillon Technologies Limited are in the business of
providing colour solutions. Even though Advanced Graphic Systems and Fillon Technologies Limited provide
colour solutions using different technologies, there is a potential conflict of interest in the future due to similar
nature of business.

47. We have presence in multiple domains which may result in lack of concentration and time to any one domain
by the management of our Company

We have presence in multiple domains i.e. banking, retail, petroleum and colour solutions and have the
necessary people and skill set across these domains. Although such diversification limits the risk of fluctuation
in our profitability in any of these domains, it could also result in lack of concentration and time to any one
domain by our management. This may result in loss of existing clientele which may adversely affect our
business including financial conditions and operating results.

48. One of our Group Company, Instrumental Research Associates Pvt. Ltd. is a party to certain legal proceedings
that, if decided against them, could have an effect on their business and results of operations. Classification of
these legal proceedings instituted against the company is given as follows.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS

the financial markets and our business.

Regional or international hostilities, terrorist attacks or other acts of violence of war could have a significant
adverse impact on international or Indian financial markets or economic conditions or on Government policy.
Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher
degree of risk and could have an adverse impact on our business and on the market price of our equity shares.

53. Our operations can be adversely affected by natural calamities

Our operations are dependent on our ability to protect our places of business including our corporate offices,
manufacturing and staging centres and godowns from natural calamities like fire, flood, earthquakes etc. The

affect our business operations, financial conditions and profitability.

54. Valuation methodology and accounting practice in our industry may change.
Presently there is no standard valuation methodology for companies involved in our industry. Further, there
are no listed companies which are carrying out activities similar to ours. Current valuations may not be
reflective of future valuations within the industry and there may not be any benchmark for valuation
methodolog. Further, current valuations of other listed companies may not be comparable with ours.

23
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

55. An economic downturn may negatively impact the Company.


The Company’s revenues are largely dependent on corporate expenditure on IT infrastructure and facilities.

the event of an economic slowdown the customers may reduce or postpone their contracts, thereby negatively
impacting the revenue and profitability.

56. Political, economic and social developments in India could adversely affect our business.

investing in our Company’s equity shares. You should read the entire Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the
information in “Risk Factors” and the “Financial Statements” and related notes on pages 12 and 143, respectively, before

Industry Overview

The Indian ATM industry


The first ATM’s were introduced into India by banks, also known as deployers, in 1988. Banks installed proprietary
machines that catered to the needs of their retail customers and charged them high charges to use this service. Up
till 1997, ATM additions grew at a lackluster pace precisely because of this cost. However, the introduction of the
first shared ATM cash network in 1997 changed the face of the industry. Cash networks allowed retail customers of
individual networked banks to use an ATM of another bank thereby reducing the dependence of belonging to a
bank with a large ATM network. While the transaction costs were still high, this allowed the customer to use the
ATM card more frequently and efficiently. Between 1997 and 1998, ATM deployment grew at a rate of 160% and
numbers almost doubled year-on-year in absolute terms on the back of the proliferation of these networks.

There are a number of factors driving future growth:

• The unabated increase in cash transactions


• Reduced costs of delivering services to customers and increased number of branches
• The increasing functionality of the ATM
• Evolution of offsite installations
• Improvements in communications and IT
• Conducive Regulatory Environment
• The role of the Semi–Autonomous Independent ATM Deployer (IAD)
• Replacement cycle

Overview of the Indian Retail sector


For the 4th time in five years, India has been ranked as the most attractive nation for retail investment among 30
emerging markets by the US-based global management consulting firm, A T Kearney in its 8th annual Global Retail
Development Index (GRDI) 2009. India remains among the leaders in the 2010 GRDI and presents major retail
opportunities. India's retail market is expected to be worth about US$ 410 billion, with 5 per cent of sales through
organized retail, meaning that the opportunity in India remains immense. Source: India Brand Equity Foundation,
www.ibef.org

Retail should continue to grow rapidly—up to US$ 535 billion in 2013, with 10 per cent coming from organised
retail, reflecting a fast-growing middle class, demanding higher quality shopping environments and stronger
brands, the report added. Bharti Retail strengthened its position in northern India by opening 59 stores, Bharti Wal-
Mart is expected to open 10 to 15 wholesale locations in the next three years, and Marks & Spencer is considering
plans to open additional outlets in the next few years.

Overview of the Indian Coatings Sector


The Indian coatings Industry is over 100 years old and accounts for about 3.9% of the global coatings market. It is
worth Rs 1,54,000 million and has a volume of around 1.6 million tones. The per capita consumption of about 1.35
kg.

Growth of the Indian coatings industry is directly proportional to GDP growth as a result of the key growth driver
being infrastructure and construction. With future GDP growth expected to be over and above 8% levels, the
industry growth rates are likely to move in a positive direction. On account of the fiscal incentives given by the
government to the housing sector, the architectural paints are expected to witness higher growth going forward.

26
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

This will fuel the Point-of –Sale tinting sector. Domestic and global auto majors have long term plans for the Indian
market, which augur well for automotive paint manufacturers. Increased industrial paint demand, especially
powder coatings and high performance coatings will also propel growth in medium term.

Overview of the Indian Petroleum fuel dispensing business


The oil and gas industry has been instrumental in fuelling the rapid growth of the Indian economy. The petroleum
and natural gas sector which includes transportation, refining and marketing of petroleum products and gas
constitutes over 15 per cent of the GDP.

India's domestic demand for oil and gas is on the rise. As per the Ministry of Petroleum, demand for oil and gas is
likely to increase from 186.54 million tons of oil equivalent (mmtoe) in 2009-10 to 233.58 mmtoe in 2011-12. India's
domestic oil product sales in November 2009 grew 3.7 per cent from a year ago, driven by higher demand for auto
fuels, according to government data. Oil product sales were 11.32 million tons in November, as per official data.

Key drivers for Retail automation can be summarized as follows:

• Obtaining timely, upto date and accurate wetstock and drystock data from the sites
• monitoring/analyzing product stock & sales of these retail outlets,
• control on retail fuel price
• To deliver on the brand promise of offering outstanding customer and vehicle care.
• Improved Forecourt Efficiency
• Enhancing customer relationship management
• Quality and Quantity Assurance

bids at or above this issue price and cut-off bids are valid bids and are considered for allocation in respective
category.

requirements for a particular purpose may be financed by surplus funds, if any, available in respect of the other
purposes for which funds are being raised in the Issue. In the event of any short fall in the Issue proceeds, the
requirements shall be utilized from internal accruals.
We may have to revise our expenditure and fund requirements as a result of variations in the cost structure,
changes in estimates and external factors, which may not be within the control of our management. This may entail
rescheduling, revising or canceling the planned expenditure and fund requirements and increasing or decreasing
the expenditure for a particular purpose from its planned expenditure mentioned below at the discretion of our
management. In addition, the estimated dates of completion as described herein are based on management’s current
expectations and are subject to change due to various factors including those described above, some of which may
not be in our control. Accordingly, the Net Proceeds of the Issue would be used to meet all or any of the uses of the
funds described herein.

A. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Introduction to Retail banking:

Retail banking has grown exponentially over the last few years driven, primarily, by the increase in the number of
branches, ATM installations, debit cards and the consequent increase in electronic transactions. All this is geared
towards servicing the Indian retail banking sector that is among the largest market segments in the world. In India,
retail banking is catered to by the Indian commercial banking sector.

The Indian commercial banking sector is split into three types of banks: 1) Public sector banks that comprise of
‘nationalized’ banks and the State Bank of India group, 2) domestic private banks, and 3) foreign private banks.
There are also a range of co-operative financial institutions that are regulated by the RBI as is every other bank in
the country. Aggregate deposits as of June 2010 of all scheduled commercial banks stood at Rs. 4,55,88,360 mn up by
14% from June 2009. For the purpose of this industry overview we will be analyzing the scheduled commercial
banks that are regulated by the RBI.

The commercial banking sector dominates the market, accounting for 96% of banking sector assets and 81% of total
branches. The total assets of scheduled commercial banks were INR 52,413,310mn, up 21% from the previous year.
Commercial banking is still dominated by 27 public sector banks, which account for 85% of branches and 71% of
total assets. The State Bank of India (SBI) Group remains India’s largest financial institution, with assets of Rs.
12,282,120 mn and 16062 branches. Source: RBI Annual Trends and Progress in Banking 2008-09

There are 22 private domestic banks, representing just 14% of commercial bank branches but nearly 19.6% of assets.
ICICI Bank is the largest private sector bank. Even though most new private banks have small branch networks,
some – including ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and HDFC Bank – are among the leading ATM deployers in India
representing about 15% of total assets. Source: RBI Annual Trends and Progress in Banking 2008-09

There are 31 foreign banks that play a relatively small part in the banking sector. They account for 293 branches and
8.5% of commercial bank assets. In the past, foreign banks had a competitive edge over domestic (particularly state-
owned) institutions, owing to their wide product ranges and high standards of service. Domestic private sector
banks are becoming increasingly competitive while foreign banks are expected to try to leverage their international
networks to differentiate themselves.

The total number of branches in the country as of March 2009 is 64,608, down by 2.3% from 66,195 in March 2002.
An interesting dynamic is the changing geographical segmentation of these branches. While rural branches used to
account for almost half of all branches, they now account for 31%. 25% of all branches are in semi-rural areas, 22% in
urban areas and 21% in metropolitan areas (i.e. cities with a population of more than 1 million).

The Indian ATM industry

Overview

The first ATM’s were introduced into India by banks, also known as deployers, in 1988. Banks installed proprietary
machines that catered to the needs of their retail customers and charged them high charges to use this service. Up
till 1997, ATM additions grew at a lackluster pace precisely because of this cost. However, the introduction of the
first shared ATM cash network in 1997 changed the face of the industry. Cash networks allowed retail customers of
individual networked banks to use an ATM of another bank thereby reducing the dependence of belonging to a
bank with a large ATM network. While the transaction costs were still high, this allowed the customer to use the
ATM card more frequently and efficiently. Between 1997 and 1998, ATM deployment grew at a rate of 160% and
numbers almost doubled year-on-year in absolute terms on the back of the proliferation of these networks.

The growth in ATM installations since 1999 has been exponential. The RBR Global ATM Market and Forecasts to
2015 shows that there were 520 ATMs countrywide in 1999 which have now grown to 59,737 in 2009. (Refer Figure
1.2) Between 2008 and 2009, the total number of ATMs installed by the banks grew by 37% per cent (16,086). ATM
installations have grown at a 4 year CAGR of 29.64%.

There are a total of five networks in India that are currently in operation with some banks belonging to two or more
of them and few belonging to none. The largest network belongs to INFINET (Indian Financial Network), also
known as the National Financial Switch (NFS), which was launched in August 2004. This network is managed by
Euronet Services India, and serves not only as an ATM switch, but also as a conduit for transactions originating
from other channels, e.g. internet banking. On 1st July 2008, SBI connected its ATM network to INFINET. This
increased the number of ATM’s in the network to 37,000 ATMs belonging to 31 banks. This was a key development
in the evolution of ATM usage as SBI has the largest number of retail customers in India. Other member banks
include ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Canara Bank, HDFC, Union Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and Punjab National
Bank. There is overlap over the shared network of ATMs. INFINET/NFS has now grown to 56,711 ATM’s in 2009,
making it the largest ATM Cash network. Source: Retail Banking Research Limited (RBR)

Cash withdrawal remains the major driver of ATM usage. RBR estimates that the average proportion of ATM
transactions made up by cash withdrawals account for 62%. This figure has fallen from 72% in 2007 as a wider
range of facilities have been made available at the ATM and increased sharing of machines has boosted the number
of balance enquiries. Their research also shows that on average of around 5,600 cash withdrawals is made per ATM
per month, with an average withdrawal value of approximately Rs. 3,700 (USD 76). Their survey reported that the
highest usage was reported by SBI with a figure of over 7,800 withdrawals per ATM per month though this
represents a decrease from the 2007 figure, which was in excess of 9,000. However this could also be a result of an
increase in the average withdrawal in itself. Source: RBR Global ATM Market and Forecasts to 2015

Transaction volumes vary considerably between banking sectors with the three large new private sector banks
(ICICI bank HDFC Bank and Axis bank) reporting monthly cash withdrawals volumes of between 5,300 and 8,250
per ATM. Nationalized banks generally show lower monthly usage rates (ranging from 2,000 and 5,000
withdrawals per terminal per month. Indian banks quoted average withdrawal values between Rs. 2,500 (USD 51)
and Rs. 4,000(USD 82). In general private sector banks report higher average values than public sector banks. Source:
RBR Global ATM Market and Forecasts to 2015

The average charge for using ATMs connected to INFINET is Rs. 18 per cash withdrawal and Rs. 8 pre balance
enquiry. This has come down from Rs. 20 and Rs. 10 in 2005. With the increasing number of features on ATMs’
non-cash transactions have also proven to be successful among retail customers as balance checking, mini statement
printing have started to accompany each cash transaction and this brings in added revenue to both banks and cash
networks.

Key trends driving ATM installation and usage

Growing Adoption of the debit card: A key driver of ATM installations has been the growing adoption of the debit
card. The debit card is the access card for the ATM and its growing popularity is making it the key conduit for
electronic payment. ATM growth is directly proportional to the issuance of debit cards. From a banks perspective, it
is the growing issuance of the debit card and its accompanying user friendly environment that is influencing ATM
withdrawal rather than account opening. As of March 2010, a total of 1,819.59 lac debit cards were outstanding - a 4
year CAGR of 38%.

Year Number of Debit Cards Outstanding


2005-06 497.63
2006-07 749.76

*As of June 2010; Source: RBI monthly Bulletin

RBR forecasts the number of such cards held by Indian consumers to more than double reaching approximately 450
million by 2015.

Increasing functionality of the ATM is also making every trip more useful for the customer and increasing revenue
streams for the deployer. ATMs in India have now reached high levels of functionality which are continuously

evolving. Functions can be broadly defined as 1) Cash and 2) Non cash. Cash would involve withdrawal and, now,
even cash deposit. Envelope deposits are possible at a significant proportion of terminals including some belonging
to SBI, Bank of India ICICI bank and Axis Bank. Non cash involves balance enquiry, full or mini statement printing
and PIN change. Almost 80% of terminals allow the customer to pay utility bills and transfer funds between
accounts including all ATMs belonging to SBI, Axist Bank HDFC and ICICI bank. Over 90% of machines, including
the entire ATM fleets of SBI, HDFC, ICICI bank and Axis Banks now offer mobile phone top-ups.

Other facilities are booking of travel tickets and even direct transfers of donation payments to well known charities.
Bank advertising is displayed on approximately 90% of ATMs, even though third party advertising is still not
permitted by the RBI. Envelope deposits and account transfers are key customer transactions that are making the
ATM a very probable substitute to a branch.

Public sector banks (PSB’s) are driving the recent installations: In the early days of the ATM, key deployers were foreign
banks that portrayed this service as a premier offering. Private bank’s followed suit to compete with them. This left
out the majority of Indian retail bank customers that have traditionally banked with nationalized banks like SBI and
Canara bank. Recent years has shown that Public sector banks have become the biggest deployers of ATMs to
bridge this huge gap. The country’s largest deployer is now the SBI group.

SBI group recently joined the INFINET/NFS network that now connects over 50000 ATMs. With 21,471 ATMs, the
SBI group accounts for 36% of the installed base up from 24% in 2007. In both 2007 and 2008 its share of the installed
base decline slightly as mainly private sector competitors installed ATM’s at a faster rate, but the SBI group
installed 10,000 terminals between March 2009 and March 2010, almost doubling its fleet. This is a world record
number of new units shipped by a bank in a 12- month period. Source: RBR Global ATM Market and Forecasts to 2015

Six other deployers– ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and HDFC Bank, along with public sector institution, Canara Bank,
Union Bank of India and Punjab National Bank had more than 2000 ATMs, accounting for a combined market share
of 34%. Source: RBR Global ATM Market and Forecasts to 2015

The current ATM to branch ratio is 67.6%. (Refer Fig 1.1) While the ratio for new private sector banks and foreign
banks is 3, public sector banks, with their huge branch networks, skew this number by only having half the number
of ATMs as branches. This only proves further, the huge potential for further ATM growth.

The Reserve Bank of India is responsible for regulating the Indian ATM market. In 2009 a key regulation that
mandated that all cash withdrawal from an ATM was to be made free of charge was critical to increasing usage.
This did not adversely impact the banks because they were still allowed to charge non-bank customers an
acquisition cost (better known us off-us transactions). This would be paid by the customer’s bank. Banks have been
also been advised to reimburse the amount wrongfully debited on account of failed ATM transactions within a
maximum period of 12 days from the date of receipt of customer complaint and effective from July 17, 2009 back to
the customer.

The Annual Policy Statement for the year 2008-09 liberalized the eligibility norms for opening up of on-site ATMs.
UCBs (Urban Co-operative Banks) that were registered in States which had entered into MoU with the Reserve
Bank or were registered under the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002 and classified in Grades other than
Grade III and IV could set up on-site ATMs without prior approval of the Reserve Bank.

The branch licensing norms have also been liberalized. Approvals for branch expansion, including off-site ATMs,
in respect of well-managed and financially sound UCBs in the States that have signed MOU’s and those registered
under the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002, would be considered based on their annual business plans.

In June 2009, the RBI permitted SCBs to install Off-site ATMs at places identified by them, without having the need
to take permission from the Reserve Bank in each case. This would, however, be subject to any direction which the
Reserve Bank may issue, including for closure/shifting of any such Off-site ATMs, wherever so considered
necessary by the Reserve Bank.

On 4th May 2010, RBI in its Annual Policy Statement, allowed well managed UCBs to set up off-site ATMs without
seeking approval through the Annual Business Plans.
Another trend is the evolution of off-site ATMs. ATMs can be on-site, which means part of the branch, or offsite,
which means away from the branches. Development of off-site ATMs in the 2000’s was critical to the growth of
ATMs as private and foreign sector banks aggressively deployed them as an alternative to setting up new branches.
For instance ICICI bank and Axis bank have placed 60% and 72% of their machines offsite respectively. Non branch
machines are concentrated in the most heavily populated urban areas and business districts. In contrast to many
other countries the proportion of Indian ATMs located offsite has actually been falling in the last few years
primarily due to public sector banks catching up on ATM deployment. Of all the ATMs installed in the country at
end-March 2009, nationalized banks had the largest share of on-site ATM’s whereas private sector banks had the
largest share in offsite ATMs. (Ref Fig 1.1)
A small percentage of offsite terminals are believed to be mobile ATMs. Wall units, popular globally, are rare in
India leading to two thirds of branch based ATMs being located in lobbies. SBI, the bank with the largest number of
branches and the largest deployer of ATMs, has almost half of its ATMs offsite.
Indian deployers outsource first line maintenance and cash replenishment for both branch and offsite ATMs.
Exceptions are SBI which does its own cash replenishment and Canara bank which does both in-house. These
agents are Prism, AGS Transact Technologies and Euronet. Cash replenishment is carried out by cash-in-transit
companies such as Brink’s Loomis and G4S. Local providers include CMS info Syustems, writers Safeguared and
Securitrans India. These agencies have now evolved beyond plain vanilla maintenance and cash replenishment to
holistic management of the bank’s ATM network. This is referred to as Semi-Autonomous Independent Agency
Deployer (IAD). Second line maintenance is outsourced by all major deployers to the ATM manufacturers.
Manufacturers of ATM’s: NCR, Diebold and Wincor Nixdorf are the three main ATM suppliers to Indian banks.
Wincor Nixdorf has seen a significant increase in its share from 10% in 2007 to 19% in 2009 which has allowed it to
close the gap and eat into NCR and Diebold’s market shares. It is a major supplier to some larger banks catering to
54% and 8% of ICICI and Axis Bank’s fleet respectively. Other manufacturers are Triton and Sigma. Source: RBR

Future growth of the Indian ATM market


The Indian ATM market has witnessed sharp growth in the last five years. More importantly it is one of the only
regional markets where future expansion is highly plausible given the low ATM to branch ratio and the fact that a
great number of India’s towns are still underserved. Banks are also obliged by law to open one rural branch for
every four they open in urban or suburban locations. On average private sector banks have only one ATM per
branch but public sector banks have only one for every three branches. The density of ATMs is low both in terms of
population and size of country’s economy. There are only 51 machines per million people compared to 157 in China
and 124 in Indonesia. Source: RBR Global ATM Market and Forecasts to 2015
There are only 69 ATM’s per 1,000 branches which is below even the regional average. ATM forecasts by the RBR
determine that India will have reached 175,000 ATM’s in 2015, an increase of more than 200% from 2007.

# Data till December 2009

There are a number of factors driving future growth:

• The unabated increase in cash transactions: The nature of our economy still ensures that cash is the key
currency for transactions (Refer Fig 1.5). While the credit card might have made headway in urban India,
the rest of the country still relies on cash for small value payments. This increases the need for cash delivery
mechanisms be it in the form of branches or ATMs. In recent years, the use of electronic payments has
witnessed unabated increase, reflecting growing adoption of technology. The growth of volume of
transactions directed through electronic payment method, however, decelerated from 41.4 per cent in 2007-
08 to 24.8 per cent in 2008-09 (Refer Fig 1.7). More strikingly, the value of transactions directed through
electronic payment method declined sharply during 2008-09.

• Reduced costs of delivering services to customers and increased number of branches: Branches are
critical to banks as a function of being the face to their customer. Banks are constantly adding customers
and giving additional services to existing customers. 3300 branches were opened between March 2005 and
March 2007. However real estate and cost of personnel is making opening branches unviable especially in
remote areas. The low profitability of new rural branches makes the ATM even more attractive. This brings
us to the cost of the ATM. Availability of the low cost ATM is critical to its growth in the rural market. They
also need to be specially designed for remote locations requiring wireless connectivity, low power
requirements, increased resistance to humidity and biometric technology which allows illiterate customers
to use them. Diebold has started production of the Diebold 450, a more power efficient full function ATM
model at a factory in Goa.

• The increasing functionality of the ATM and the growing comfort of its users with it is another driver for
growth. For instance, the recent introduction of cheque truncations system has paved the way for
widespread automated cheque deposit to be introduced at ATM’s across the country. There is also cash
envelop deposit that reduces queues in branches. Automated currency deposits enabling immediate money
transfer into accounts is still in its nascent stage even though the technology is available.

• Evolution of offsite installations: Even though off-site deployments have taken a backseat, offsite locations
will spill onto shopping malls and part of individual shops themselves allowing for reduced rental costs.
ATMs will also benefit from footfalls of the malls. This is particularly important in light of the new
outsourcing activity that will emerge as Semi Autonomous IAD’s take a more active role.

• Improvements in communications and IT: Cash networks are the underlying premise of the growth of an
ATM market and cash networks depend on efficiency of communication.

• Regulation: A number of recent positive regulations will also drive ATM installations. In April 2006 the RBI
allowed select urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs) to install ATMs. There are 1813 UCBs in India with a total
of 3000 branches. RBI has also mandated that banks follow a ratio of 3:1 in favor of rural ATMs for new
installations. The most significant regulation of course is the entry of Semi Autonomous Independent
Agency deployer to the Indian market.

• The role of the Semi–Autonomous Independent ATM Deployer (IAD): The opening of ATM licenses by
RBI has resulted in the birth of a new business avenue where an independent ATM deployer (IAD),
installs, maintains and manages the ATM and its site for a bank (Partner Bank) using the partner Bank’s
ATM license. The asset (i.e. ATM) and all its consequent maintenance and operating costs get transferred
from the balance sheet of the bank to the IAD. This is very similar to the White Label model practiced in
developed markets where an Independent ATM deployer (IAD) does the same. The key difference is that,
in India, the IAD is only an agent of the bank and cannot install an ATM in its own right and has no control
over the decision of installation or the location of Installation. Therefore we can refer to this IAD as semi-
autonomous. The business model works on transaction based pricing. Transaction can be of two types.
Bank cards on banks ATMs (Called Issuer transactions or On-Us transactions) and other banks cards on the
Bank’s ATM (Called Acquirer transactions or Off-Us transactions). Every On-Us transaction is charged to
the bank. Typical On-Us transaction charges are approximately Rs 14 per transaction and account for about
200 per day per ATM. RBI has also mandated that customers should not be charged for up to 5 transactions
on any ATM. This has resulted in a steep increase in off-us transactions for large deployers–almost 30% to
40%. Any transaction acquired by the ATM will be given to the deployer. Though the bank does not charge
the customer, the acquiring bank/deployer charges the issuing bank Rs 18 for withdrawal and Rs 4 for
Balance Inquiry. This revenue goes to the Semi-autonomous IAD. These account to typically 30 to 50
transactions per ATM. The key advantage for the bank is that the cost of the ATM, a key decision
parameter, is negated. The ATM is not on the bank’s balance sheet, and its only responsibility is providing
necessary software and paying the IAD for the transactions that take place.

In July 2009, YES Bank signed an agreement to outsource the deployment of new ATM’s across India to
First Data International. In early 2010, Axis Bank, India’s third largest ATM deployer signed agreements
with partners (including our company) who would set up and manage upto 5000 terminals on its behalf,
with Axis Bank retaining ultimate responsibility for their operation. RBR expects that bank partnerships
with companies such as AGS Transact Technologies (erstwhile AGS Infotech) will result in installation of
almost 20,000 machines by 2015. Source: RBR Global ATM Market and Forecasts to 2015

• Replacement cycle: According to RBR, India’s replacement cycle is on average nine years. Since the
majority of our ATM’s have only been installed in the last 5 years, RBR expects replacement cycles to start
in the next couple of years. Annual shipments are expected to number around 18,000 in 2010, rising to
28,000 in 2015. Initially replacements are expected to account for only 13% of shipments but this will
increase to around 20% by 2015, as the large numbers of machines installed in the recent period of intensive
growth begin to reach the end of their lives.

Overview of the Indian Retail sector

AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

For the 4th time in five years, India has been ranked as the most attractive nation for retail investment among 30
emerging markets by the US-based global management consulting firm, A T Kearney in its 8th annual Global Retail
Development Index (GRDI) 2009. India remains among the leaders in the 2010 GRDI and presents major retail
opportunities. India's retail market is expected to be worth about US$ 410 billion, with 5 per cent of sales through
organized retail, meaning that the opportunity in India remains immense. Source: India Brand Equity Foundation,
www.ibef.org

Retail should continue to grow rapidly—up to US$ 535 billion in 2013, with 10 per cent coming from organised
retail, reflecting a fast-growing middle class, demanding higher quality shopping environments and stronger
brands, the report added. Bharti Retail strengthened its position in northern India by opening 59 stores, Bharti Wal-
Mart is expected to open 10 to 15 wholesale locations in the next three years, and Marks & Spencer is considering
plans to open additional outlets in the next few years.

The BMI India Retail Report for the third-quarter of 2010, forecasts that the total retail sales will grow from US$ 353
billion in 2010 to US$ 543.2 billion by 2014. With the expanding middle and upper class consumer base, there will
also be opportunities in India's tier II and III cities. The greater availability of personal credit and a growing vehicle
population to improve mobility also contribute to a trend towards annual retail sales growth of 11.4 per cent. Mass
grocery retail (MGR) sales in India are forecast to undergo enormous growth over the forecast period. BMI further
predicts that sales through MGR outlets will increase by 154 per cent to reach US$ 15.29 billion by 2014. This is a
consequence of India's dramatic, rapid shift from small independent retailers to large, modern outlets. Source: India
Brand Equity Foundation, www.ibef.org

Retail Point-of-Sale (POS) Technology is in a nascent phase in India and can only grow on the back of organized
retail due to the cost and back ended technology requirements. The organized retail sector, which currently
accounts for around 5 per cent of the Indian retail market, is being driven by the increasing number of large format
malls and branded retail stores in South India, followed by North, West and the East in the next two years. Tier II
cities like Noida, Amritsar, Kochi and Gurgaon, are emerging as the favored destinations for the retail sector backed
by increasing disposable incomes of their middle class.

Established retailers are tapping into the growing retail market by introducing innovative store formats. Spencer's
Retail, More (owned by Aditya Birla Group) and Shoppers Stop (owned by K Raheja Group) already plan to
expand.

According to a McKinsey & Company report titled 'The Great Indian Bazaar: Organised Retail Comes of Age in
India', organised retail in India is expected to increase from 5 per cent of the total market in 2008 to 14 - 18 per cent
of the total retail market and reach US$ 450 billion by 2015.

Furthermore, according to a report titled 'India Organised Retail Market 2010', published by Knight Frank India in
May 2010 during 2010-12, around 55 million square feet (sq ft) of retail space will be ready in Mumbai, national
capital region (NCR), Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune. Besides, between 2010 and 2012, the
organised retail real estate stock will grow from the existing 41 million sq ft to 95 million sq ft.

Estimates by the Retailers Association of India (RAI), the apex body of organized, modern retailers, have shown that
the country's USD 21.05 billion organized retail segment has grown 20 per cent in the September quarter 2009-10.

Most of this sector still uses PC based software to bill and connect their backend. Retail POS is critical especially for
super markets and hypermarkets as it helps seamlessly connect the backend with the final point of sale and ensure
reliable inventory and stocking information. As the organized retail segment matures, the many advantages of
using POS hardware and software over PC will reflect in increased shifts in technology. The key advantage is that
while PC software is constantly changing and requires constant configuration updates, POS is supported against
obsolesce for 5 years. This standard configuration helps companies, especially chains to have seamless integration.
The hardware and software have a longer lifecycle. The industrial motherboard and keyboard are designed to
handle the harsh retail environment. Peripherals can be attached with ease as the entire system is integrated. In the

74
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

past PC based software has always been preferred because of the cost involved in investing in high technology POS
software and hardware. However with the influx of large chains and foreign investment, this sector is expected to
invest around USD 503.2 million in retail technology service solutions in the current financial year. This could go
further up to USD 1.26 billion in the next four to five years, at a CAGR of 40 per cent.

Buoyed by improved consumer spending, sales of listed retailers increased by 12 per cent in the September 2009
quarter compared with the same period in 2008.

India continues to be among the most attractive countries for global retailers. Foreign direct investment (FDI)
inflows between April 2000 and April 2010, in single-brand retail trading, stood at US$ 194.69 million, according to
the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

Point-of-Sale Technology-Driving growth of IT in Retail Industry

During 2008, Retail Banking Research (RBR) carried out a major study of the global retail point-of-sale hardware
market, comprising extensive primary and secondary research. The study showed that the number of
programmable EPOS terminal installed around the world had reached 8.5 million by the end of 2007, up 8% on the
previous year. The three dominant regions were North America with 39% of these machines, Western Europe with
27% and Asia-Pacific with 23%.

The limited development of retail IT infrastructure is in part due to the fragmentation of the retail and hospitality
industries. Large Chains are typically the first adopters of more advanced point-of-sale technology. The growing
presence of major foreign players can be expected to drive overall adoption rates, as local companies are forced to
improve their system to compete with new entrants.

In terms of shipments, a total of 1.6 million programmable EPOS units were delivered worldwide in 2007, up 6% on
the previous years. Three regions were accounted for 87% of these shipments. North America was the largest with
562000 shipments, followed by Western Europe with 432000 and Asia-Pacific with 401000.

By 2012, RBR estimates that global programmable EPOS terminal shipments will reach 2.3 million, up 44% on 2007.
In Asia-Pacific, shipments will increase by 42% over the five years to 2012, while shipments to Western Europe and
North America are expected to grow at 30% and 26% respectively over the same period.

New customer segment to drive growth


RBR’s research defines four key customer segments for Point-of-sale technology, which are:

• The Food/Non-Food sector comprises of stores for which food is the primary product sold, irrespective of
whether or not those outlets also sell non-food products. This category includes outlets of all sizes, from
hypermarkets with 50 checkout lanes down to convenience stores with just one.

• The ‘General Merchandise’ sector includes multi-category retailers from whom food is not the primary
product, such as department stores, mass merchandisers and variety stores. It also covers specialty chains
for fashion, electronics, DIY etc.

• The ‘Hospitality’ industry comprises of locations that serve food (restaurant, fast food outlets etc.), drinks
(pubs, bars and cafes) or provide accommodation (Hotels, guest houses, etc.).

• Other EPOS users include petrol stations (and other motoring/travel outlets), post offices and any
retail/services businesses not included in the previous categories.

In 2007, the food/non-food sector accounted for 26% of global installed base of programmable EPOS units, general
merchandise retailers for 36%, hospitality for 19% and other businesses for 19%.
Shipment quantities to these sectors were more or less evenly distributed in 2007. RBR estimates that by 2012, the
number of shipments in the food/non-food, general merchandise and hospitality segments will grow by 37%, 38%
and 32% respectively. In contrast, the other segment is forecast to see growth of 73%, as in many countries,
penetration of programmable EPOS terminal in the sub segments of this category – such as post offices and services
like doctors surgeries – is lower today than it is in the retail and hospitality segment. The growth rate is thus
expected to rise as these sub-sector catch up.

76
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Self-Checkout market to triple by 2011


The last decade has seen the retail industry and particularly the food/no-food business, embrace the ethos of self-
services at the point-of-sale. Many of the world’s top retailers, including Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Tesco, have
started to roll out self-checkout (SCO) terminals in selected markets. But while programmable EPOS has reached
significant levels of penetration, particularly in North-America and Western Europe, SCO remains a niche product
in all but a handful of countries.

Self-Checkout drives POS hardware spending growth


According to RBR estimate, global expenditure on programmable EPOS and SCO hardware and maintenance is
expected to rise by 6.3% per year between 2007 and 2011.
Key drivers of expenditure are increases in the number of shipments (driving hardware revenue) and the installed
base (driving maintenance revenue). The initial hardware purchase, together with ongoing maintenance fees,
represents the majority of hardware-related spending for retailers.
Another key driver is the end user cost of hardware and maintenance. With fierce competition and a difficult
economic environment in most countries, there will be pressure for price reductions.

Overview of the Indian Coatings Sector


The Indian coatings Industry is over 100 years old and accounts for about 3.9% of the global coatings market. It is
worth Rs 1,54,000 million and has a volume of around 1.6 million tones. The per capita consumption of about 1.35

Paint Industry Growth Real GDP Growth


Fig 1.8: Growth of the Indian Paint Industry; Source: Snapshot of Indian Coatings Industry, Color Publications Pvt Ltd

The industry is traditionally categorized into organized and SME. The organized segment consists of 12-15 players
that have around 58% market share whereas the SME sector has around 1,500 players and caters to the rest.

The industry can further be classified into architectural and industrial. Architectural accounts for 70% of sales by
value and 77% by volume. The mode of sale is predominantly distribution driven or through hardware stores.
Primers, Interior Emulsions, exterior emulsions and Enamels constitute 63% of the Architectural coatings sector.
Major players are Asian Paints, Berger Paints, Kansai, Nerolac Paints, ICI paints and Shalimar paints. Industrial
coatings constitute 30% by value and 23% by volume. Auto OEM, Auto refinish cater to 38% of this.

Application is still dependent on unskilled applicators as the DIY segment in India is practically non-existent. Point-
of-Sale tinting is becoming increasingly popular though with over 22,000 installations, making it the largest in the
world. There is also a growing usage of spray guns.

Growth of the Indian coatings industry is directly proportional to GDP growth as a result of the key growth driver
being infrastructure and construction. With future GDP growth expected to be over and above 8% levels, the
industry growth rates are likely to move in a positive direction. On account of the fiscal incentives given by the
government to the housing sector, the architectural paints are expected to witness higher growth going forward.
This will fuel the Point-of –Sale tinting sector. Domestic and global auto majors have long term plans for the Indian

market, which augur well for automotive paint manufacturers. Increased industrial paint demand, especially
powder coatings and high performance coatings will also propel growth in medium term.

Overview of the Indian Petroleum fuel dispensing business

The oil and gas industry has been instrumental in fuelling the rapid growth of the Indian economy. The petroleum
and natural gas sector which includes transportation, refining and marketing of petroleum products and gas
constitutes over 15 per cent of the GDP.

India's domestic demand for oil and gas is on the rise. As per the Ministry of Petroleum, demand for oil and gas is
likely to increase from 186.54 million tons of oil equivalent (mmtoe) in 2009-10 to 233.58 mmtoe in 2011-12. India's
domestic oil product sales in November 2009 grew 3.7 per cent from a year ago, driven by higher demand for auto
fuels, according to government data. Oil product sales were 11.32 million tons in November, as per official data.

At present, the marketing of petroleum products in India is being done by four major public sector oil companies,
namely, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL), Bharat Petroleum
Corporation Ltd., and IBP Co. Ltd. The increase in automobile sales has led to significant investments in the
development and expansion of the Indian petroleum retail market. Consequently, state-run fuel retailers Indian Oil
Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation together are planning to open
2,263 new petrol pumps in the country during the fiscal year 2010, over and above the 35,068 pumps they already
own. Public sector oil companies will spend USD 11.33 billion in 2010 on expanding supplies and building new
transportation networks for oil and gas. There are three major private petroleum players who focus on marketing in
India. The largest private player is Reliance (1,432 outlets) followed by Essar (1,316 outlets) and finally Shell (75
outlets).

An ambitious programme for modernization of retail outlets to bring them at par with international standards has
been taken up by the oil industry. The Ministry of Petroleum’s Vision - 2015 for ‘Consumer Satisfaction and Beyond’
document states that retail automation is to be implemented in all outlets selling more than 100 KL/month. The
document also mandates the use of GPS on all fuel and kerosene tankers and utilization of this data to improve
quality of service. MOP has also mandated Multi fuel/Electronic dispensers with improved sealing system at all
ROs selling > 100 KL/month. This will be huge growth driver for turnkey operators in the retail automation space.

Petroleum companies intend to implement a comprehensive Retail Outlet Automation System to assure customers
of guaranteed quality and correct quantity. With the number of outlets increasing steadily and the brand
establishing itself to stand for quality, quantity and convenience for the customer, it is becoming extremely
important to have both world-class infrastructure and adopt best practices for Customer service at these outlets.

81
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

5 Experienced and strong management team

We believeve that our qualified and experienced management has contributed to the growth of our business
operations. Mr. Ravi B Goyal, our Managing Director, has demonstrated business agility by adopting new business
models based on market dynamics and offered produ
products
cts catering to the needs of our customers.
Each area of operation is head by a person who has over 15 years of relevant experience. We believe our
management team has project management skills which is critical to the successful implementation and delivery
delive of
projects.

6 Common infrastructures including pan


pan-India
India support network across all business segment

We meet all the service requirements of all product segments and customers using a common service platform
based out of Mhape. This common platform operates a round round-the-clock
clock help desk which is supported by a pan-
pan
India support network consisting of enginee
engineers who work of our branches across the country. This common
infrastructure allows us to provide seamless and cost efficient support services and acts as a single conduit for all
our customer service requirements. Our common centralized repair center, also at Mhape, caters to the repair and
maintenance requirements across product segments. Our engineers are equipped with cross-functional
cross skill sets
which enable them to handle repairs and queries across all business segments. Our monitoring and managed
services
es center, two warehouses and staging facilities is also common across segments.

This sharing of infrastructure results in economies of scale through increased efficiency, reduced manpower and
reduction in other operational costs.

Our Strategies

Our strategic
trategic objective is to consolidate our position in area of operations and become a semi autonomous IAD. We
intend to achieve this by implementing the following strategies:

1 Market entry and expansion strategy

We believe our simple but effective business philosophy, (as depicted below), of offering existing products /
services to new customers and introducing new products and services to both existing and new customers have
helped in growing our business.

In the past we have successfully implemented this business philosophy as demonstrated in the following examples -

82
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

New products / services to existing customers – From offering limited hardware products to our banking customers, we
also started offering complete solutions around the products including site build, site identification, site
maintenance, vendor management and help desk.

Existing products / services to new customers segment (cross- selling) – We have successfully managed to cross-sell our
retail products like kiosks and digital signage to our customers in the banking segment.

New products / services to new customers – We started our operations by offering Wincor Nixdorf’s banking solutions
in 2003 and subsequently started offering Wincor Nixdorf’s retail solutions to new retail customers in 2005.

We intend to pursue these strategies in order to increase the share of products per existing customer and also to
acquire new customers.

2 Continued focus on relationship management

We believe our strong long-term relationships with our customers allow us to assess their growing needs. In the
past, these relationships have led to a quick ramp up in our new offerings. For instance, within nine months of the
change in RBI policy allowing us to act as Semi Autonomous IAD’s, we have entered into contracts with three banks
to provide this service. Our relationships in sourcing and maintaining ATM’s for them has evolved into a
partnership where they trust us to manage the ATM as well. We intend to continue our focus on building strong
relationships with our customers as a part of our growth strategy.

We believe our strong long-term relationships with both our customers and product principals complement each
other, thereby enabling us to cater to the varied needs of our customers. Our relationships with our product
principals have enabled us to offer multiple products to our customers. One of our long-term relationships has
culminated into an agreement for manufacturing of paint dispensers and transfer of technology.

We intend to continue our focus on building strong relationships with our product principals as a part of our
strategy to providing complete solutions to our customers.

3 Focus on semi-autonomous Independent ATM Deployer (IAD)

The opening of RBI licenses for off-site ATMs opened up a new business opportunity- that of semi-autonomous
IAD. We believe we are uniquely positioned to grab this opportunity as we are already offering ATMs and other
IAD services like installation, maintenance, site build, site identification, cash replenishment, monitoring, vendor
management, facility management, software support and help desk. Within 6 months of becoming a semi-
autonomous IAD, we have entered into contracts with three banks to provide these services. We intend to leverage
our strength in the banking segment to build this business.

The semi-autonomous IAD business is based on transaction revenues and hence the locations of ATMs are
important. We believe retail stores, malls and petroleum outlets are high transaction locations for ATMs. We intend
to leverage our existing relationships in retail and petroleum segment for tapping the desired ATM sites for our
semi-autonomous IAD business.

4 Focus on managed services

At present we are offering complete managed services that include installation, maintenance, site build, site
identification, cash replenishment, monitoring, vendor management, facility management, software support and
help desk to our customers in the banking segment. We intend to replicate this business model for our customers in
the retail and petroleum segments. We believe our common managed service infrastructure and pan-India support
network can be leveraged for offering managed services to our customers in the retail and petroleum segment.

83
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

5 Expanding in touch point transformation in other segments

We intend to expand touch point transformation to other segments. We believe that our current offerings could be
used / implemented in segments like postal, airline, telecom and transportation.
We are currently considering the opportunities in the postal segment. Apart from its regular postal services like
stamp vending and courier, India Post also offers banking services like postal savings account, fixed deposit and
pension dispersion and retail services like sale of gold coins and money transfer services. We plan to enter the
postal industry with a range of products from banking and retail segment like ATMs, assisted teller, kiosks, stamp
vending machines, digital signage and queue management system.

6 Continuous leveraging common infrastructures to gain economies of scale across segment

We have now created infrastructure facilities that can be utilized across all business segments. We intend to
continue to do so to gain economies of scale and operational efficiency.

Nixdorf and services related to these products and (ii) Semi Autonomous IAD services. For FY08, FY09 and FY10,
our sales from banking segment was Rs 10,633.23 Lacs, Rs 12,340.05 Lacs and Rs 18,116.71 Lacs respectively.

Banking products of Wincor Nixdorf and related services

We have a tie-up with Wincor Nixdorf for offering ATMs, cash deposit machines, cash re-cycling machines, banking
transaction terminals (kiosks), assisted teller systems (ATS) plus the entire range of Wincor Nixdorf’s self service
terminal software directly to the banks in India. We install the products we offer at the installation sites. We also
enter into annual maintenance contracts with the banks for the products we had provided post the expiry of the
warranty period. Apart from hardware we also provide Wincor Nixdorf software solutions to the banks.
Given below is the graphical representation of our banking portfolio:

84
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

We offer following Wincor Nixdorf products / hardware to banks:

Automated Teller Machine (ATM): ATM is a computerized telecommunications device that provides the clients of
a bank with access to financial transactions in a public space without the need for a cashier, human clerk or bank
teller. On most ATMs, the customer is identified by inserting a plastic ATM card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic
smart card with a chip that contains a unique card number and some security information such as an expiration
date. Authentication is provided by the customer entering a personal identification number (PIN).

Using an ATM, customers can access their bank accounts in order to make cash withdrawals (or credit card cash
advances), cash deposits, fund transfers, check account balances and print statements. ATMs connect to the cash
network which enables the account holder to withdraw cash from any bank which is connected to the cash network.
ATMs can also be used for other value added services like purchasing pre-paid cell-phone credit or airline tickets,
paying taxes, donating to charitable entities, etc. The value added services vary from banks to bank.

In line with the dynamic needs of the banking industry, AGS offers best-in-line technology from Wincor Nixdorf for
its customers focused on deposit and cash recycling systems.

Our products in ATM are:


• ProCash 1500xe: The ProCash 1500xe is the entry-level system in Wincor Nixdorf‘s ProCash product family.
With its compact size, it is the ideal system for locations at which space is limited and the focus is on cash
handling.
• ProCash 2100xe: ProCash 2100xe is a multifunction ATM for lobby installations. This product can accept
cash and cheques through an envelope slot. The system is based on a PC and Windows XP and can thus be
integrated easily into existing networks.

For FY 08, FY09 and FY 10 we have sold and installed 2313, 2318 and 3095 ATMs in India respectively.

85
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Intelligent Deposit Machines– Intelligent deposit machines are self-service terminals that allow a client of the bank
make deposits and payment transactions by cash. All successful transactions are immediately credited and clients
will be issued an advice slip confirming the transaction. The transactions such machines can handle are cash deposit
to accounts, credit card and other utility payments by cash, cheque deposits to accounts, etc. This also includes the
cash re-cycling machine is a type of ATM, where the cash deposited is sorted into various denominations and is
used for cash dispensing. Cash re-cycling machines lower the cash handling cost by recycling the deposited cash.
• ProCash 4000xs sets new standards in currency processing, system availability and product quality for self-

takes place in bank branches.

For FY 08, FY09 and FY 10 we have sold and installed 2, 47 and 52 Intelligent Deposit Machines in India
respectively.

Automated Teller Safes (ATS) – ATS is a device used in retail banking for the disbursement of money at a bank
teller’s area. Cash supplies are held in a vault or safe. Disbursements and acceptance of money take place by means
of inputting information through a separate computer to the cash dispensing mechanism inside the vault, which is
similar in construction to an ATM vault. ATS is distinct from an ATM in that they are designed to be operated
solely by trained branch personnel and do not integrate directly into any cash networks.
Other areas of application of ATS include the automation of starting and reconciling teller or cashier drawers (tills)
in retail, check cashing, payday loan / advance, grocery, and casino operations. AGS enables banks to create an
environment suitable for next generation branch banking.
• ProCash 5100 is an under -counter model for installation directly at the teller‘s workplace or near the
counter. The ProCash 5100 supports open-plan customer zones in the front office and rounds off an
institution‘s consulting services by dispensing cash.

We started this business in FY 10 and we have rented 30 Automated Teller Safes in India to United Bank of India.

statement, PIN change, etc. It is used for bill payments with bar code scanners attached to it. These are also web
enabled and can be used for web based payment transactions, staging, ticketing and for internal banking.

The banking transaction terminals enable the end users to indulge in intelligent and convenience banking thus
generating satisfied customers for the bank.

application across ATMs of all vendors. This common application platform runs across all ATMs which
gives banks the advantages of easy management, low cost for incorporation of changes, faster time-to-
market and integrated approach.

Total Implementation Services (TIS)


The activities behind setting-up ATM room are scrupulous and time consuming. The effort involves various stages
of development- from a survey of the location to the installation of an ATM. To ease off the work load on banks and
to maintain quality & consistency, in addition to supplying and installing ATMs, we offer Total Implementation
Services (TIS). As a TIS provider we coordinate with various agencies (hardware, interior design, and durables),
install and maintain ATM centers. Our services ensures saving of time, reduction in cost and efficient project
management for the installation of ATMs.
Our Total Implementation Services involve

• Consistent/equal quality at each site in terms of materials and workmanship

Semi Autonomous IAD business

A semi-autonomous IAD provides a combination of services that includes site identification and deployment,
installation, ownership and management of the ATM and the ATM site on behalf of the bank (Sponsor Bank). The
Sponsor Bank retains the license and responsibility of cash in the ATM along with clearing and settlement.

A semi autonomous IAD earns revenue through transaction based fees paid by the Bank to the third-party service
provider. The transaction based fee depends on various factors like –
• location of ATMs (Onsite i.e. location in the branch or Offsite i.e. location independent of branch);
• nature of transaction (cash transaction or non-cash transaction);
• card issuer (own bank card i.e. the card of the bank whose brand is used for the ATM or other bank’s card);
• combination of above

We believe that the Semi autonomous IAD business is a logical evolution from our present business of providing
ATMs and Total Implementation Services to banks

A semi autonomous IAD owns the ATMs and performs the following sub-activities either directly or indirectly
through a sub-vendor –

# Item AGS
1 Purchase of ATMs Yes
2 Maintenance of ATMs Yes
3 Site Build Yes
4 Site Maintenance Yes

We believe our strength in providing Semi Autonomous IAD services to bank lies in the fact that we can perform a
number of the sub-activities shown above directly. At present cash management and supply of VSAT, UPS are the
only sub-activities we sub-contract to other vendors.

Leveraging our strengths and relationships in the banking segment, we are now acting as a semi-autonomous IAD
and have arrangements with Dhanlaxmi Bank, Dena Bank and Axis Bank as of April 30, 2010 for installing 380, 142
and 1,500 ATMs respectively.

For details on the key features of our contract with Dhanlakshmi Bank Limited and AXIS Bank Limited please refer

Prospectus.

2,440.36 Lacs and Rs 2,434.84 Lacs respectively.
Given below is the graphical representation of our retail portfolio:

88
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

We offer our retail clients products and services for automating the Point of Sale Billing terminals at their
establishments, increasing security, increasing convenience of their customers, analyzing footfall numbers,
managing digital signages, etc. Our customers include supermarkets / hypermarkets, hospitality segment and
multiplexes. The products offered depend on the type of the establishment. We offer following products in this
category are:
• Point of Sale Billing Terminals
• Kiosks
• Store Automation Systems
• Mall Intelligent Systems
• IP Camera Surveillance Software
• Thin Client Systems
• Digital Signage Software

Point of Sale Terminals

We offer Wincor Nixdorf’s Point of Sale (POS) billing terminals and solutions to our retail clients. The configuration
of the POS billing terminals depends on the type of establishment viz. supermarket / hypermarket, hospitality or
multiplex. The key advantages of POS terminals over PC based terminals are:
• PC configurations get obsolete very quickly and constant up gradation increases cost and is time
consuming. POS terminals run on one common software which means any changes in configurations do not
require additional up gradations. This reduces the total cost of ownership.
• The motherboard and keyboard of POS terminals is designed for industrial use and can take the wear and
tear of the retail environment
• Attaching various peripherals like barcode scanners, receipt printers, cash drawers and customized display
to form an integrated system is easier in POS Billing terminal compared to a PC based terminal

We offer limited customization like modifying RAM and hard disks, of the POS terminals as per client requirement.
We usually sell POS terminals to clients on an outright basis. However due to the slow down we have improvised
our business model by offering POS terminals on a rental basis to our client. In order to tap the unorganized retail
segment, we also offer a more economical terminal from Wincor Nixdorf.

Our POS product offerings are:


• Beetle iPoS Advanced: The Beetle iPoS Advanced is a PoS terminal offers everything for the retail and
hospitality segments’ need for all-in-one design and graphical user interface. The system dovetails
seamlessly into the open standards-based Beetle iPoS family.
• Beetle i8: The Beetle i8 is a cost effective, compact Retail PoS solution featuring an open architecture design
with a high level of retail peripheral integration. With its small footprint, the Beetle i8 adapts to any existing
retail environment without costly renovations to the existing stands.
• Beetle iSprint: Retailers looking for a reliable, high performance workhorse to run their PoS applications
need look no further than the Beetle iSprint. The Beetle iSprint’s superior performance makes it an excellent
choice for running merchandising applications concurrently with the PoS application

For FY 08, FY09 and FY 10 we have sold and installed 5376, 2778 and 4166 Point of Sale Billing Terminals in India
respectively.

AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Paint Dispensers for Retail Paint Industry

AGS manufactures paint dispensers – automatic & manual under the license from Fast & Fluid Management (FFM).
FFM is the world leader in dispensing and mixing technology for paints industry. FFM offers a wide range of
equipment from manual dispenser for a small retail paint dealer to a large in-plant facility. The paint companies
further offer these dispensers – manual & automatic to their dealers depending mainly on the consumption pattern.

During last 10 years, most paint companies have stopped producing colour paints (decorative paints) in their plants
and totally shifted to manufacturing only white base paints and pigment concentrates, known as machine colorants.
These white bases and colorants are supplied to all their retail dealers. This shift in manufacturing has helped paint
companies in logistics, inventory management and has increased their productivity many folds. It became possible
for the paint companies by installing the paint dispensers at the retail outlets.

The dealers now offer the consumer more than 25,000 different shades, the formulation of all these is stored in
computers which are interfaced to the dispensers. When a customer walks into a retail shop, he/she can just select
any shade from shades library, the dealer makes the coloured paint from white base and colorants in the dispenser
in matter of minutes. The customer walks out with paint. The customer is totally satisfied as he/she gets the shade
he/she wants and also a fresh paint. The other advantage of dispenser is the same shade can be repeated any time.
AGS offers following dispensers to the large, medium and small paint manufacturers:

Automatic Paint Dispensers: Our key product is BT Tintmaster Automatic Dispenser which is the most popular
and accepted by all paint companies. It has 16-polymeric canisters of 1.75 litre capacity. It is based on proven piston
pump technology. It has central agitator. It can dispense in 1, 4 and 20 litres cans. It can dispense smallest volume of
0.075 ml. It has a small footprint. It uses PrizmPro software for dispensing, storing all formulations and also
maintenance. PrismaPro is common for the other FFM dispensers, like HA450, TM300, and AT750 etc. The
PrismaPro software and the operation of BT Tintmaster do not require any skilled operator and even an unskilled
paint shop boy can operate the dispenser. The BT Tintmaster dispenser is the most preferred dispenser as it is the
best suited in retail paint outlets as it is robust and has minimum maintenance and service problems. It has the
lowest cost of ownership.

AGS produces over 2400 BT Tintmaster dispensers a year and have so far installed over 18,000 BT Tintmaster in
India.

Manual Dispensers: AGS also manufactures manual dispensers; model PD22PD, under the license from FFM.
Manual dispenser has the same configurations & features as the automatic dispenser except that it has manual
operations. It is best suited for markets having low volumes and in places where power availability is poor.
AGS produces over 700 manual dispensers a year and has so far installed over 7000 manual dispensers in India.

AGS Shakers

AGS also manufactures shakers under the license from FFM. The white paint base after addition of colorants from
dispenser is mixed using the shaker and the colour paint is ready within 3-minutes. AGS manufactures both manual
& automatic shakers.

Printers & Engravers for the Textile Industry:

AGS /CST Inkjet Flat Bed & Direct-to-Fabric Printer and Rotary Screen Engravers

AGS manufactures these engravers at Daman factory under the Technology Sharing Agreement with CST Germany
and markets it under AGS/CST Screen Engravers.

AGS/CST Flat Bed Screen Engraver and Direct-to-Fabric Printer – This dual purpose screen engraver and printer
is best suited for screen making and printing for sampling, while AGS/CST Rotary Screen Engraver is screen
engraver for rotary screen printing in textiles.

These engravers are a direct replacement of conventional methods of preparing screens, which are slow, manual,
less accurate, besides costly. The most important feature is it avoids use of highly corrosive chemicals which add to
the pollution to environment. It eliminates many intermediate steps and helps in producing very high quality &
sharper designs, which are not possible using conventional manual methods. AGS Inkjet Engravers are very cost
effective & efficient solution for all types of designs producing high quality screens for textile printing.

Our customers in the paint industry include Asian Paints, Kansai Nerolac Paints and Berger Paints, Shalimar Paints,
Nippon Paints and Mandhana Textiles.

Currency Management Business

In order to supplement its ATM and semi-autonomous IAD business, our banking segment is now in the process of
adding another service to its current portfolio, that of Currency Management Services. The currency management
services portfolio will comprise of cash-in-transit, cash vaulting, cash replenishments at ATM, cash management,
cash pick-up and drop etc. These products and services can be utilized by companies operating in sectors such as
Banking, Retail and Petroleum.

Staging process

Prior to installation all ATMs from Wincor Nixdorf undergo staging process at our facility in Pondicherry. In the
staging process we install the operating software, additional peripherals like security camera, perform the quality
checks and ensure the configuration is as per the specifications provided by the customer. We also install bank
specific graphic software and customize the colour of the ATMs as per the bank requirement. After the staging
process, the ATMs are shipped to their respective site locations for installations.

The staging process also takes place for the POS billing terminals.

Our Manufacturing, Staging and Support Facilities

Our manufacturing facility at Daman is spread across an area of approximately 73194.59 sq. ft. and we currently
undertake the manufacture of paint dispensing machines there.

The facility acts as the central manufacturing centre for our paint dispensing machines with a capacity of
manufacturing 1500-2000 manual and 4000 automatic dispensing machines per annum. The main technology for
these machines is imported under our business agreement with Fast & Fluid Management a unit of IDEX
Corporation based out of The Netherlands. For details on the agreement please refer to section titled “History and
Other Corporate Matters” beginning on page 111 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

94
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

We assemble FFM Manual Paint Dispensers, FFM Auto Paint Dispensers, Wincor ATMs, Inkjet CST Engravers,
Rotary CST Engravers, Inkject Espon Printer, iBeetle (Wincor POS terminal), Prizm OPT, Thin Client (AGS Endura),
Digital Signage, Cheque scanning m/c.

We also have a facility at Pondicherry where we do staging of ATMs. We stage 250-300 ATMs per month. We have
a capacity of staging 650 ATM’s a month.

The Pondicherry center also acts as a warehousing facility. Since it takes about a month for receiving the ATMs from
the time of placement of order with Wincor Nixdorf, we usually order ATMs in advance based on our estimate of
future requirement. These excess ATMs are warehoused at the Pondicherry facility.

Common Infrastructure Facility

Keeping in line with our strategy of sharing and cross utilization of physical infrastructure we have a support
facility in DNA building at Mahape, Navi Mumbai spread over two floors and covering approximately 7075.98 sq.
ft.area and an office in Millenium Business Park (MBP) covering approximately 5623.40 sq. ft. area.

The DNA Building houses the operations teams mainly for three of our business verticals i.e Banking, Colors and
Petroleum. All post sales activities related to our banking business are carried out from this centre thereby making it
the central nervous system of this particular business. Once the sales team gets an order from a banking customer
the action shifts to this Mahape facility wherein the Operations team sub-divided into various functional teams such
as Support, Logistics, Projects, Total Implementation Services (TIS), Software and Outsourcing spring into action.
The colors team under the Advanced Graphic Systems (AGS) setup consists of around 6 people and performs
critical functions such as customization of software used in the paint dispensing machines. This software is
provided by Fast and Fluid Management (FFM) and is just re-configured by the AGS technicians as per customer
requirements. This team also monitors and coordinates the support services which AGS provides to clients of Fillon
Technology (FTIL). The products manufactured by Fillon at the Daman facility and then supplied to the end
customers are supported by AGS through its on-the-ground field technician teams spread across the country. This 6
people team is responsible for coordinating and ensuring smooth after sales support services to Fillon products. In
addition to this, they also coordinate on providing after sales services for AGS’ own paint dispensing machines
which are integrated at and supplied from the Daman facility.

Continuing with our tradition of cross utilization of resources both in terms of physical infrastructure and
manpower, this AGS team also helps the AGSIPL banking and retail teams as far as digital signages as a product is
concerned. This team is responsible for loading of software in the digital signage (only – the software customization
etc is done by AGS Sundyne), installation of the same at client sites and providing after sales services as well.

Finally, this facility acts as a base for our petroleum business vertical the core management team of which is based
only out of this building. This team headed by Mr. Bhupinder Rana performs all its functions from this office. These
functions include business development, pre sales, core/central technical support including technical
evaluation/feasibility of new business/technology opportunities, project management and implementation.
Therefore it won’t be wrong to say that this particular office of ours acts as an engine for our petroleum business.

Millennium Business Park

Additionally, we have another office space in Millenium Business Park (MBP) at a very short distance from the
DNA office building which leads to easier coordination between the various functions being performed at both
these offices. This office is spread across 5623.40 sq ft area.

Our MBP office mainly acts as a Testing and Repairing Centre (TRC) for all our products which are sold across our 4
business verticals. This centralized TRC with its short turnaround time (TAT) in repairing products leads to
increased business efficiencies across verticals by reducing downtime of our installed products. Taking the case of
ATMs, the process followed by this centre is as follows – the field technician attends a complaint at an ATM site and

95
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

incase of encountering a defective module in the ATM replaces it with the help of the spare parts stored at various
branch offices present across the country. The defective module is then packed and sent to the TRC with a tag which
explains the problem in detail. The skilled technicians/engineers at TRC repair the defective piece and return it to
the central stores department which is also housed at this particular office. The stores department acts as a storage
house for both new and repaired spare parts of products belonging to all four business verticals. Depending on the
spare part requests received from the branches by this stores department, the relevant spare parts are dispatched to
the branches on a timely basis.

We also have our centralized helpdesk which attends routes and coordinates on customer/client complaints
received by them via telephone. The personnel manning these helpdesks do possess basic knowledge of all our
products and are therefore well equipped to perform such basic coordination functions w.r.t customer complaints.

Labour Laws

India has stringent labour legislation protecting the interests of employees. There is a clear distinction
between (i) employees who are ‘workmen’ (as defined under various enactments including the Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947 (the “IDA”) and (ii) employees who are not ‘workmen’. Workmen have been provided
several benefits and are protected under various labour laws, whilst those persons who have not been
classified as workmen are generally not afforded statutory benefits or protection, except in relation to
bonus, provident fund and gratuity. Employees are usually subject to the terms of their employment
contracts with their employer, which are regulated by the provisions of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.

105
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

A brief description of certain labour legislation applicable to the industry is set forth below:

Factories Act, 1948

The Factories Act, 1948 (“Factories Act”) defines a factory to cover any premises which employs ten or
more workers and in which the manufacturing process is carried on with the aid of power and any
premises where there are at least 20 workers even though there is no electricity aided manufacturing
process being carried on.

The Factories Act provides that an occupier of a factory is the person who has ultimate control over the
affairs of the factory. In case of a company, any of the directors must ensure the health, safety, welfare,
working hours, leave and other benefits for workers employed in factories. The Factories Act was enacted
primarily with the object of protecting workers from industrial and occupational hazards. Under this
statute, an approval must be granted prior to the setting up of the factory and a license must be granted
after setup is complete, by the Chief Inspector of Factories. In case of contravention of any provision of
the Factories Act or rules framed thereunder, the occupier and the manager of a factory may be punished
with imprisonment or with fine or both.

Shops and Commercial Establishment Laws

Under various State laws dealing with shops and establishments, any shop or commercial establishment
has to obtain a certificate of registration from the supervising inspector and also has to comply with
certain rules laid down in the act governing that particular State. These rules and regulations regulate the
opening and closing hours of shops and commercial establishments, daily and weekly work hours,
closing dates and holidays, health and safety of persons working in shops and commercial
establishments, payment of wages and maintenance of records and registers by the employers, among
others.

Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952

The Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, as amended , provides for the
institution of compulsory provident fund, pension fund and deposit linked insurance funds for the
benefit of employees in establishments. A liability is placed both on the employer and the employee to
make certain contributions to the funds mentioned above.

Employees State Insurance Act, 1948

The Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 (the “ESI Act”) provides for certain benefits to employees
(drawing salary upto Rs. 15,000 per month) in case of sickness, maternity and employment injury. All
employees in establishments covered by the ESI Act are required to be insured, with an obligation
imposed on the employer to make certain contributions in relation thereto. In addition, the employer is
also required to register itself under the ESI Act and maintain prescribed records and registers.

Payment of Bonus Act, 1965

Pursuant to the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, as amended (the “Bonus Act”), an employee in an
establishment who has worked for at least 30 working days in a year is eligible to be paid bonus.

superannuation or death or disablement due to accident or disease. The maximum amount of gratuity
payable must not exceed Rs. 10,00,000. An employee in a factory is said to be in ‘continuous service’ for a
certain period notwithstanding that his service has been interrupted during that period by sickness,
accident, leave, absence without leave, lay-off, strike, lock-out or cessation of work not due to the fault of
the employee. The employee is also deemed to be in continuous service if the employee has worked (in an
establishment that works for at least six days in a week) for at least 240 days in a period of 12 months or
120 days in a period of six months immediately preceding the date of reckoning.

Employees Compensation Act, 1923

The Employee’s Compensation Act, 1923 provides for payment of compensation to employees (as defined
under the Act) and their dependants in case of injury and accident (including certain occupational
disease) arising out of and in the course of employment and resulting in disablement or death. The Act
applies to railway servants and persons employed in any such capacity as is specified in Schedule II of
the Act. The schedule II includes persons employed in factories, mines, plantations, mechanically
propelled vehicles, construction works and certain other hazardous occupations. The amount of
compensation to be paid depends on the nature of the injury and the average monthly wages and age of
the employees. The minimum and maximum rates of compensation payable for death (in such cases it is
paid to the dependents of the employees) and for disability have been fixed and is subject to revision
from time to time.

Trade Unions Act, 1926

The Trade Unions Act, 1926 (“TU Act”) sets out procedures for registering a trade union and also
prescribes the method for functioning such registered trade unions. Any seven or more members of a
trade union may apply for registration to the appropriate authority by subscribing their names and by
complying with the provisions of the TU Act with respect to registration and such trade union shall not
become invalid due to cessation of some persons (not exceeding half of the total number) as members of
trade union either after application or before the registration of the trade union. A certificate of
registration of a trade union may be withdrawn or cancelled by the appropriate authority either on an
application by the trade union or if the appropriate authority is satisfied that the certificate has been
obtained by fraud or mistake. A trade union is required to maintain certain records and submit returns to
the appropriate authority. A trade union who fails to submit returns may require to pay fine which may
extend to Rs.5 and in the case of continuing default with an additional fine which may extend to Rs.5 for
each week and shall not exceed Rs. 50. Any person who wilfully makes, or causes to be made any false
entry or any omission from the general statement required under the TU Act shall be punishable with
fine which may extend to Rs.500. Registered trade unions, furnishing false information shall be
punishable with fine which may extend to Rs.200.

Payment of Wages Act, 1936 (“Wages Act”)

other establishments where the monthly wages payable to such persons is less than Rs.1,600. The Wages
Act confers on the person(s) responsible for payment of wages certain obligations with respect to the
maintenance of registers and the display in such factory/establishment, of the abstracts of the Wages Act

107
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 (“Employment (Standing Orders) Act”)

The Employment (Standing Orders) Act requires employers in industrial establishments to formally
define conditions of employment under them. It applies to every industrial establishment wherein 100
(reduced to 50 by the State Government of Maharahstra in respect of the establishments within the State
of Maharashtra) or more workmen are employed. The Employment (Standing Orders) Act calls for the
submission of such conditions of work to the relevant authorities for their approval.

The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 (“Maternity Act”)

The purpose of the Maternity Act is to regulate the employment of pregnant women and to ensure that
they get paid leave for a specified period during and after their pregnancy. It provides for payment of
maternity benefits and medical bonus, and prohibits the dismissal of and the reduction of wages paid to
pregnant women.

Intellectual Property

The intellectual property of the company includes the registered intellectual property rights and
trademark applications made by the company in relation to the business of the company, as well as
unregistered rights in intellectual property. The salient features of the legal regime governing the
acquisition and protection of trade marks in India are briefly outlined below.

Trademarks

The Trade Marks Act, 1999 (the “Trademark Act”) governs the statutory protection of trademarks in
India. In India, trademarks enjoy protection under both statutory and common law.

Indian trademarks law permits the registration of trademarks for goods and services. Certification
trademarks and collective marks are also registrable under the Trade Mark Act. An application for
trademark registration may be made by any person claiming to be the proprietor of a trademark and can
be made on the basis of either current use or intention to use a trademark in the future. The registration of
certain types of trade marks are absolutely prohibited, including trademarks that are not distinctive and
which indicate the kind or quality of the goods.

Applications for a trademark registration may be made for in one or more international classes. Once
granted, trademark registration is valid for ten years unless cancelled. If not renewed after ten years, the
mark lapses and the registration for such mark has to be obtained afresh. While both registered and
unregistered trademarks are protected under Indian law, the registration of trademarks offers significant
advantages to the registered owner, particularly with respect to proving infringement. Registered
trademarks may be protected by means of an action for infringement, whereas unregistered trademarks
may only be protected by means of the common law remedy of passing off. In case of the latter, the
plaintiff must, prior to proving passing off, first prove that he is the owner of the trademark concerned. In
contrast, the owner of a registered trademark is prima facie regarded as the owner of the mark by virtue
of the registration obtained.

Copyright Protection

The Copyright Act, 1957 (“Copyright Act”) governs copyright protection in India. Under the Copyright
Act, copyright may subsist in original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, cinematograph films,
and sound recordings. Software, both in source and object code, constitutes a literary work under Indian
law and is afforded copyright protection. Following the issuance of the International Copyright Order,
1999, subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the Copyright Act apply to nationals of all member
states of the World Trade Organisation.

108
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

While copyright registration is not a prerequisite for acquiring or enforcing a copyright in an otherwise
copyrightable work, registration constitutes prima facie evidence of the particulars entered therein and
creates a rebuttable presumption favoring the ownership of the copyright by the registered owner.
Copyright registration may expedite infringement proceedings and reduce delay caused due to
evidentiary considerations. Once registered, the copyright protection of a work lasts for a 60-year period
following the death of the author.

Reproduction of a copyrighted work for sale or hire, issuing of copies to the public, performance or
exhibition in public, making a translation of the work, making an adaptation of the work and making a
cinematograph film of the work without consent of the owner of copyright are all acts which expressly
amount to an infringement of copyright. With respect to computer software, in addition to the above, any
unauthorised sale and commercial rental of software also amount to infringement of copyright. The
Copyright Act also prescribes certain fair use exceptions which permit certain acts which are otherwise
considered copyright infringement. In respect of computer software, these fair use exceptions would
include:

(i) the making of copies or adaptations of a computer program by the lawful possessor of a copy
of such computer program in order that it may be utilised for the purposes for which it was
supplied;
(ii) the right of the lawful possessor to obtain any other essential information for interoperability
of an independently created computer program, if that information is not otherwise readily
available;
(iii) the observation, study, or test of functioning of the computer program in order to determine
the ideas and principle which underline any elements of the program while performing such
acts necessary for the functions for which the computer program is supplied; and
(iv) The making of copies or adapting the computer program from a personal legally obtained
copy for any non-commercial personal use.

The remedies available in the event of infringement of copyright under the Copyright Act include civil
proceedings for damages, account of profits, injunction and the delivery of the infringing copies to the
copyright owner.

The Copyright Act also provides for criminal remedies including imprisonment of the accused and the
imposition of fines and seizures of infringing copies. A third set of remedies are administrative or quasi
judicial remedies which are prosecuted before the Registrar of Copyright to ban the import of infringing
copies into India and the confiscation of infringing copies.

International Treaties for Copyright Protection

India is a signatory to the Convention of International Union for the Protection of Literary and Artistic
Works (the “Berne Convention”), the Universal Copyright Convention, 1952, (the “UCC”) the Rome
Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organisations,
1961 and as a member of the World Trade Organisation is a signatory to the Agreement on Trade Related
aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (the “TRIPS Agreement”). The TRIPS Agreement embodies a set of
minimum standards that all signatories have to adhere to in respect of all forms of intellectual property
protection, including copyright.

The Berne Convention requires that the signatory countries provide the same rights to foreigners from
other member countries as to their own nationals and mandates automatic protection not subject to
procedural formalities. It also provides for minimum substantive standards of protection, dealing with
the duration of copyright and the exclusive rights which the author shall hold. While the Berne
Convention does not prescribe what works are required to be protected under it, computer software has
been brought under its purview by means of Article 10 of the TRIPS Agreement.

109
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

The UCC provides for similar protection, including national treatment and minimum substantive rights
to be granted to copyright holders. The substantive provisions include the right of foreign national of a
signatory country whose work was first published outside a signatory state to claim copyright protection
in that signatory state under the UCC upon the printing of a copyright symbol and certain other
information.

Trade Secrets and Confidential Information

In India, trade secrets and confidential information enjoy no special statutory protection and are
protected under Common Law.

Transfer of Property Act, 1882

The transfer of property, including immovable property, between living persons, as opposed to the
transfer of property by the operation of law, is governed by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (“T.P.
Act”). The T.P. Act establishes the general principles relating to the transfer of property, including,
among other things, identifying the categories of property that are capable of being transferred, the
persons competent to transfer property, the validity of restrictions and conditions imposed on the
transfer and the creation of contingent and vested interest in the property.

Registration Act, 1908

The Registration Act, 1908 (“Registration Act”) has been enacted with the object of providing public
notice of the execution of documents affecting the transfer of an interest in immoveable property. The
purpose of the Registration Act is the conservation of evidence, assurances, title, and publication of
documents and prevention of fraud. It details the formalities for registering an instrument. Section 17 of
the Registration Act identifies documents for which registration is compulsory and includes, among other
things, any non-testamentary instrument which purports or operates to create, declare, assign, limit or
extinguish, whether in the present or in future, any right, title or interest, whether vested or contingent, in
immovable property of the value of Rs. 100 or more, and a lease of immovable property for any term
exceeding one year or reserving a yearly rent. A document will not affect the property comprised in it,
nor be treated as evidence of any transaction affecting such property (except as evidence of a contract in a
suit for specific performance or as evidence of part performance under the T.P. Act or as collateral),
unless it has been registered.

The Indian Stamp Act, 1899

Stamp duty needs to be paid on all documents specified under the Stamp Act and at the rates specified in
the Schedules thereunder. The rate of stamp duty varies from state to state. The stamp duty is payable on
instruments at the rates specified in Schedule I of the said Act. The applicable rates for stamp duty on
these instruments, including those relating to conveyance, are prescribed by state legislation. Instruments
chargeable to duty under the Stamp Act which are not duly stamped are incapable of being admitted in
court as evidence of the transaction contained therein. The Stamp Act also provides for impounding of
instruments which are not sufficiently stamped or not stamped at all.

The Income Tax Act, 1961

In addition to prescribing regulations for computation of tax liability on income, the Income Tax Act
provides that any company deducting tax must apply to the assessing officer for the allotment of a tax
deduction account number. Furthermore, the legislation requires every taxpayer to apply to the assessing
officer for a permanent account number.

period such assets are put to use, is included in the cost.
b) Depreciation on all fixed assets is provided under Written Down Value Method. The rates of
depreciation prescribed in schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 are considered as the minimum
rates. If the management’s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of acquisition of the
asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the
aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the management’s estimate of
the useful life/remaining useful life. Pursuant to this policy, depreciation on following assets has been
provided at rates which are higher than the corresponding rates prescribed in Schedule XIV.
Automatic Teller Machine with Customers : 14.28% SLM (7years)
Software with Customers : 14.28% SLM (7years)
Plant & Machinery : 15.33% WDV
c) Assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 are fully charged to the profit and loss account in the year of
acquisition.
d) At Balance Sheet date, an assessment is done to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment in the carrying amount of the Company’s fixed assets. If any such indication exists, the
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying
amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
An assessment is also done at each Balance Sheet date whether there is any indication that an
impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have
decreased. If any such indication exists the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The carrying
amount of the fixed asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount but so that the
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined
had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss is
recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.
After recognition of impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss as applicable, the depreciation
charge for the asset is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less its
residual value (if any), on WDV basis.
3 . Re ve n u e Re c o gn i t i on
a) Revenue is recognised only when it can be reliably measured & it is reasonable to expect ultimate
collection. The amount recognised as sale is exclusive of VAT and is net of returns. Sales are stated
gross of excise duty as well as net of excise duty; excise duty being the amount included in the amount
of gross turnover.

150
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

b) Revenue from service is recognised on rendering of services to customers.


c) Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
d) Interest income is recognised on the time proportion basis.
4. Le a s e Accounting
a) Assets taken on operating lease:
Lease rentals on assets taken on operating lease are recognised as expense in the Profit and Loss
Account on an accrual basis over the lease term.
b) Assets given on operating lease:
The Company has provided Automatic Teller Machines to Customers on an operating lease basis.
Revenue from same are accounted on accrual basis in accordance with the respective lease
agreements.
5. Inventory
a) Raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, stores, spares, traded items and consumables are
carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The comparison of cost and net realisable value
is made on an item-by-item basis. Damaged, unserviceable and inert stocks are suitably depreciated.
b) In determining cost of raw materials, traded items, stores, spares and consumables, weighted
average cost method is used. Cost of inventory comprises all costs of purchase, duties, taxes (other
than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities) and all other costs incurred in bringing the
inventory to their present location and condition.
c) Cost of finished goods and work-in-process includes the cost of raw materials, an appropriate share
of fixed and variable production overheads, excise duty as applicable and other costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Fixed production overheads are
allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.
6. Investments
Long term investments are carried at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long term
investments is made only if such a decline is other than temporary in the opinion of the management.
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. The comparison of cost and fair value is
done separately in respect of each category of investments.
Profit and loss on sale of investments is determined on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis.
7. Transactions in Foreign Exchange
a) Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the
transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year
are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account of the year.
b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are outstanding as at the year
end are translated at the closing exchange rate and the resultant exchange differences are recognised
in the Profit and Loss Account.
c) The premium or discount on forward exchange contracts is recognized over the period of the contracts
in the Profit and Loss Account.
8. Sundry Debtors
Sundry debtors are stated after writing off debts considered as bad. Adequate provision is made for
debts considered doubtful.
9. Employee Benefits
A. Short Term Employee Benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as
short term employee benefits and they are recognised in the period in which the employee renders
the related service. The Company recognises the undiscounted amount of short term employee
benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services rendered as a liability (accrued expense) after
deducting any amount already paid.
B. Post-Employment Benefits.
151
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Company’s contribution to Recognised Provident fund is charged to Profit & Loss A/c.
Provision for Gratuity is recognised at the present value of the amount payable based on Actuarial
valuation carried out using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the financial year & is
charged to company’s Profit & Loss A/c. The defined benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet
represent the present value of the defined obligation as adjusted for unrecognised actuarial gains and
losses and unrecognised past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of plan assets, if applicable.
Provision for Leave Encashment is made based on Actuarial Valuation carried out using the Projected
Accrued Benefit Method which is same as the Projected Unit Credit Method in respect of past services
on unutilized Leave due to employees at the end of the financial year.
10. Provision for Taxation
Tax expense comprises of current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the period determined in accordance with
the Income Tax Act, 1961) & deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences
between accounting income and taxable income for the period).
The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised
using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be
realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward loss under taxation
laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty of realisation of such assets.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each Balance Sheet date to reassess realisation.
11. Provisions and Contingencies
The Company creates a provision when there exists a present obligation as a result of a past event that
probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no
provision or disclosure is made.
12. Earnings Per Share
The Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the
year by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
13. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of
the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to Profit and Loss account.
14. Proposed Dividend
Dividend recommended by the Board of directors If any is provided for in the accounts, pending
approval at the Annual General Meeting.

Annexure IV – Significant Accounting Policies and Notes to Consolidated Financials Statements, as restated
Annexure IV A – Statement of Significant Accounting Policies Followed in the Compilation of Consolidated
Accounts, as restated (Notes to account contains notes of parent company only as there are no transactions in
subsidiary company.)

1. Basis of preparation of financial statement.


a) Basis of Accounting:
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention on
accrual basis of accounting to comply with the accounting standards prescribed in the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.
b) Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) in India requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent liabilities on the date of financial
statements.
2 . Fixed Asse t s & Depreciation
a) Fixed assets are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation. The
cost of fixed assets includes taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities),
duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation of the
respective assets. Interest on borrowed funds directly attributable to the qualifying assets up to the
period such assets are put to use, is included in the cost.
b) Depreciation on all fixed assets is provided under Written Down Value Method. The rates of
depreciation prescribed in schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 are considered as the minimum
rates. If the management’s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of acquisition of the
asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that envisaged in the
aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the management’s estimate of
the useful life/remaining useful life. Pursuant to this policy, depreciation on following assets has been
provided at rates which are higher than the corresponding rates prescribed in Schedule XIV.
Automatic Teller Machine with Customers : 14.28% SLM (7years)
Software with Customers : 14.28% SLM (7years)
Plant & Machinery : 15.33% WDV
c) Assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 are fully charged to the profit and loss account in the year of
acquisition.
d) At Balance Sheet date, an assessment is done to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment in the carrying amount of the Company’s fixed assets. If any such indication exists, the
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying
amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
An assessment is also done at each Balance Sheet date whether there is any indication that an
impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may have
decreased. If any such indication exists the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The carrying
amount of the fixed asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount but so that the
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined
had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss is
recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.
After recognition of impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss as applicable, the depreciation
charge for the asset is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less its
residual value (if any), on WDV basis.
3 . Re ve n u e Re c o gn i t i on
e) Revenue is recognised only when it can be reliably measured & it is reasonable to expect ultimate
collection. The amount recognised as sale is exclusive of VAT and is net of returns. Sales are stated

184
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

gross of excise duty as well as net of excise duty; excise duty being the amount included in the amount
of gross turnover.
f) Revenue from service is recognised on rendering of services to customers.
g) Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
h) Interest income is recognised on the time proportion basis.
4. Le a s e Accounting
a) Assets taken on operating lease:
Lease rentals on assets taken on operating lease are recognised as expense in the Profit and Loss
Account on an accrual basis over the lease term.
b) Assets given on operating lease:
The Company has provided Automatic Teller Machines to Customers on an operating lease basis.
Revenue from same are accounted on accrual basis in accordance with the respective lease
agreements.
5. Inventory
a) Raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, stores, spares, traded items and consumables are
carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The comparison of cost and net realisable value
is made on an item-by-item basis. Damaged, unserviceable and inert stocks are suitably depreciated.
b) In determining cost of raw materials, traded items, stores, spares and consumables, weighted
average cost method is used. Cost of inventory comprises all costs of purchase, duties, taxes (other
than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities) and all other costs incurred in bringing the
inventory to their present location and condition.
c) Cost of finished goods and work-in-process includes the cost of raw materials, an appropriate share
of fixed and variable production overheads, excise duty as applicable and other costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Fixed production overheads are
allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.
6. Investments
Long term investments are carried at cost. Provision for diminution in the value of long term
investments is made only if such a decline is other than temporary in the opinion of the management.
Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. The comparison of cost and fair value is
done separately in respect of each category of investments.
Profit and loss on sale of investments is determined on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis.
7. Transactions in Foreign Exchange
d) Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the
transaction. Exchange differences arising on foreign exchange transactions settled during the year
are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account of the year.
e) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are outstanding as at the year
end are translated at the closing exchange rate and the resultant exchange differences are recognised
in the Profit and Loss Account.
f) The premium or discount on forward exchange contracts is recognized over the period of the contracts
in the Profit and Loss Account.
8. Sundry Debtors
Sundry debtors are stated after writing off debts considered as bad. Adequate provision is made for
debts considered doubtful.
9. Employee Benefits
A. Short Term Employee Benefits:
All employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as
short term employee benefits and they are recognised in the period in which the employee renders
the related service. The Company recognises the undiscounted amount of short term employee

185
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

benefits expected to be paid in exchange for services rendered as a liability (accrued expense) after
deducting any amount already paid.
B. Post-Employment Benefits.
Company’s contribution to Recognised Provident fund is charged to Profit & Loss A/c.
Provision for Gratuity is recognised at the present value of the amount payable based on Actuarial
valuation carried out using the Projected Unit Credit Method at the end of the financial year & is
charged to company’s Profit & Loss A/c. The defined benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet
represent the present value of the defined obligation as adjusted for unrecognised actuarial gains and
losses and unrecognised past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of plan assets, if applicable.
Provision for Leave Encashment is made based on Actuarial Valuation carried out using the Projected
Accrued Benefit Method which is same as the Projected Unit Credit Method in respect of past services
on unutilized Leave due to employees at the end of the financial year.
10. Provision for Taxation
Tax expense comprises of current tax (i.e. amount of tax for the period determined in accordance with
the Income Tax Act, 1961) & deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting the tax effects of timing differences
between accounting income and taxable income for the period).
The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised
using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be
realised in future; however, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward loss under taxation
laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a virtual certainty of realisation of such assets.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at each Balance Sheet date to reassess realisation.
11. Provisions and Contingencies
The Company creates a provision when there exists a present obligation as a result of a past event that
probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present
obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible
obligation or a present obligation in respect of which likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no
provision or disclosure is made.
12. Earnings Per Share
The Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the
year by weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.
13. Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of
the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to Profit and Loss account.
14. Proposed Dividend
Dividend recommended by the Board of directors If any is provided for in the accounts, pending
approval at the Annual General Meeting.

Our Significant Accounting Policies


15. Basis of preparation of financial statement.
c) Basis of Accounting:
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention on
accrual basis of accounting to comply with the accounting standards prescribed in the Companies
(Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956.
d) Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) in India requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent liabilities on the date of financial
statements.
1 6 . Fixed Asse t s & Depreciation
e) Fixed assets are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction, less accumulated depreciation.
The cost of fixed assets includes taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from tax
authorities), duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and
installation of the respective assets. Interest on borrowed funds directly attributable to the
qualifying assets up to the period such assets are put to use, is included in the cost.
f) Depreciation on all fixed assets is provided under Written Down Value Method. The rates of
depreciation prescribed in schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 are considered as the
minimum rates. If the management’s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of
acquisition of the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that
envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on the
management’s estimate of the useful life/remaining useful life. Pursuant to this policy, depreciation
on following assets has been provided at rates which are higher than the corresponding rates
prescribed in Schedule XIV.
Automatic Teller Machine with Customers : 14.28% SLM (7years)
Software with Customers : 14.28% SLM (7years)

214
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Plant & Machinery : 15.33% WDV


g) Assets costing less than Rs. 5,000 are fully charged to the profit and loss account in the year of
acquisition.
h) At Balance Sheet date, an assessment is done to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment in the carrying amount of the Company’s fixed assets. If any such indication exists,
the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
An assessment is also done at each Balance Sheet date whether there is any indication that an
impairment loss recognised for an asset in prior accounting periods may no longer exist or may
have decreased. If any such indication exists the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The
carrying amount of the fixed asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount
but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal
of impairment loss is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account.
After recognition of impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss as applicable, the
depreciation charge for the asset is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised
carrying amount, less its residual value (if any), on WDV basis.
17. Re ve n u e Re c o gn i t i on
i) Revenue is recognised only when it can be reliably measured & it is reasonable to expect ultimate
collection. The amount recognised as sale is exclusive of VAT and is net of returns. Sales are
stated gross of excise duty as well as net of excise duty; excise duty being the amount included in
the amount of gross turnover.
j) Revenue from service is recognised on rendering of services to customers.
k) Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
l) Interest income is recognised on the time proportion basis.
18. Le a s e Accounting
c) Assets taken on operating lease:
Lease rentals on assets taken on operating lease are recognised as expense in the Profit and Loss
Account on an accrual basis over the lease term.
d) Assets given on operating lease:
The Company has provided Automatic Teller Machines to Customers on an operating lease basis.
Revenue from same are accounted on accrual basis in accordance with the respective lease
agreements.
19. Inventory
d) Raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, stores, spares, traded items and consumables
are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The comparison of cost and net realisable
value is made on an item-by-item basis. Damaged, unserviceable and inert stocks are suitably
depreciated.
e) In determining cost of raw materials, traded items, stores, spares and consumables, weighted
average cost method is used. Cost of inventory comprises all costs of purchase, duties, taxes
(other than those subsequently recoverable from tax authorities) and all other costs incurred in
bringing the inventory to their present location and condition.

Fiscal Year 2010 as compared to the Fiscal Year 2009


Our results of operations for the fiscal year 2010 were particularly affected by the following factors:
• Growth in the banking segment offset by decrease in the petroleum segment as petroleum companies put
on hold their retail outlet automation / upgradations
• Our entry into the Semi Autonomous IAD business by securing the contract with Dhanlaxmi Bank
• Slowdown in retail segment

Total income: Our total income increased by 20.14% to Rs 31,217.82 Lacs for fiscal year 2010 from Rs 25,985.01 Lacs
for fiscal year 2009. Our total income consisted of revenue from the sale of manufactured products, sale of traded
products, service income, other income and increase in inventories.

Total sales: Our total sales increased by 4.29% to Rs 27,744.52 Lacs for fiscal year 2010 from Rs 26,602.23 Lacs for
fiscal year 2009. This increase was primarily due to increase in sales in banking segment by 46.10% which was offset
by decrease in sales in petroleum segment by 66.12%. The sales from banking segment increased in fiscal year 2010
due to large ATM rollout by our customers. The sales from petroleum segment decreased in fiscal year 2010 as the
petroleum companies put on hold their retail outlet automation and no new contracts were awarded during fiscal
year 2010.

Sale of products manufactured by the Company: Our revenue from the sale of products manufactured by us
increased by 5.04% to Rs. 9,964.82 Lacs for fiscal year 2010 from Rs.9,486.75 Lacs for fiscal year 2009. Sales of

Service income: Our service income increased by 112.41% to Rs 885.27 Lacs for fiscal year 2010 from Rs 416.78 Lacs
for fiscal year 2009. This increase was primarily due to increase in our total implementation services offering to our
customers in the banking segment. Also during fiscal year 2010 we started generating revenues from ATM rental
services to Union Bank of India, POS software rental services to Pantaloon. Service income constituted 2.84% and
1.60% of our total income for the fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

2009, respectively. In fiscal year 2010 there was a foreign exchange gain of Rs 590.18 Lacs compared to a foreign
exchanges loss of Rs 1,420.94 Lacs in fiscal year 2009. We import most of the products we trade in and also some
components of the products we manufacture. Due to the timing difference between the purchase of imported goods
and payment thereof, we are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuation risk. The increase in our other income in fiscal
year 2010 was also due to an insurance claim of Rs 77.62 Lacs, warranty reimbursement of Rs 167.46 Lacs and SAD
refund of Rs 101.93 Lacs.

Increase in inventories: Increase in inventories was Rs 2,440.80 Lacs or 7.82% of total income for fiscal year 2010
compared to Rs 673.69 Lacs or 2.59% of total income for fiscal year 2009. The change in inventories as a percentage
of sales has increased significantly due to Rs 1,566.46 Lacs worth of good in-transit as well as finished goods worth
Rs 3081.11 Lacs for orders in hand.

Total expenditure: Our total expenditure increased by 17.85% to Rs. 27,639.05 Lacs for the fiscal year 2010 from Rs.
23,453.40 Lacs for the fiscal year 2009, primarily due to an increase in the cost of raw material consumed, staff costs,
other manufacturing expenses, selling & distribution expenses, interest & finance charges and depreciation. Total

Staff costs: Our staff costs increased by 49.21% to Rs. 1,413.37 Lacs for the fiscal year 2010 from Rs. 947.23 Lacs for
the fiscal year 2009, primarily due to increase in manpower to 467 in fiscal year 2010 from 318 in fiscal year 2009 and
compounded due to increments. Our business model has undergone a significant shift in fiscal year 2010 as we
secured Semi-Autonomous IAD contracts with few banks which require constant monitoring and servicing the

and 2009, respectively.

year 2010 from Rs. 965.86 Lacs for the fiscal year 2009, primarily due to increase in sales tax, security expenses and
royalty expenses. The increase in sales tax is due to increase in banking segment which was partially offset by
decrease in petroleum segment as the sales tax rate on ATM is higher than sales tax rate on petroleum segment
products. The security expenses have increased significantly as we have to provide security for the ATMs deployed
under Semi-Autonomous IAD contracts. We have to pay royalty on Prism OPT, which is one of the components
supplied to our customers in petroleum vertical. The royalty paid increased in fiscal year 2010 as we sold more

professional charges and rent & taxes. The increase in these expenses was due to our contracts with banks to act as

221

for the fiscal year 2010 from Rs. 443.19 Lacs for the fiscal year 2009, primarily due to increase in transportation
charges related to increase in sale in banking segment as well as increase in implementation cost for banking and
petroleum segment due to delays. Selling and distribution expenses constituted 3.67% and 1.71% of our total income
for the fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Interest and finance charges: Our interest and finance charges increased by 53.45% to Rs. 686.52 Lacs for the fiscal
year 2010 from Rs. 447.40 Lacs for the fiscal year 2009 primarily due to increase in working capital requirement.

respectively.

Depreciation: Our depreciation expenses increased by 151.36% to Rs. 108.18 Lacs for the fiscal year 2010 from Rs.
43.04 Lacs for the fiscal year 2009 in line with an increase in fixed assets. Our fixed assets increased primarily due to
deployment of ATMs as per our Semi-Autonomous IAD contract with Dhanlaxmi Bank, deployment of ATMs on

Fiscal Year 2009 Compared to the Fiscal Year 2008


Our results of operations for the fiscal year 2009 were particularly affected by the following factors:
• Receipt of a large order from HPCL for retail outlet automation in the petroleum segment
• Growth in the banking segment
• Global economic crisis which affected our customers in the retail and color segments

Total income: Our total income increased by 35.82% to Rs 25,985.01 Lacs for fiscal year 2009 from Rs 19,132.43 Lacs
for fiscal year 2008. Our total income consisted of revenue from the sale of manufactured products, sale of traded
products, service income, other income and increase in inventories.

Total sales: Our total sales increased by 41.41% to Rs 26,602.23 Lacs for fiscal year 2009 from Rs 18,811.69 Lacs for
fiscal year 2008. This increase was primarily due to increase in sales in petroleum and banking segments by 968.10%
and 15.41% respectively which was partially offset by decrease in sales in retail and color segments by 34.18% and
12.21% respectively. The sales from petroleum segment increased in fiscal year 2009 as we secured a large tender in
a competitive bidding process from HPCL for retail outlet automation. The decrease in sales in retail and color
segments was primarily due to effect of slow-down in retail and colour segment.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk


Market risk is the risk of loss related to adverse changes in market prices, including interest rate risk, foreign
exchange risk and inflation. We are exposed to different degrees of these risks in the normal course of our business.

Interest Rate Risk


We currently have floating rate indebtedness and also maintain deposits of cash and cash equivalents with banks
and other financial institutions and thus are exposed to market risk as a result of changes in interest rates.
Moreover, the interest rates on certain of our indebtedness are subject to periodic resets. See “Financial
Indebtedness” on page 228. As of March 31, 2010, entire debt consisted of floating rate indebtedness. Upward
fluctuations in interest rates increase the cost of both existing and new debts. It is likely that in the current fiscal year
and in future periods our borrowings will rise substantially given our growth plans. We do not currently use any
derivative instruments to modify the nature of our exposure to floating rate indebtedness or our deposits so as to
manage interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk


While substantially all of our revenues will be denominated in rupees, we have incurred and expect to incur
expenditure denominated in currencies other than rupees for sourcing the traded products and raw material. We
also will be exposed to foreign currency risks arising out of the consolidation of our Singapore subsidiary after it
starts operations. These exposures are to United States dollars, Euro, Australian Dolar, New Zealand Dollar and the
Singapore dollars. Any depreciation of the rupee against the currency in which we have an exposure will increase
the rupee costs to us of servicing and repaying our expenditure and exchange related risks with respect to our
226
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Singapore subsidiary. We do not currently use any derivative instruments to modify the nature of our exposure to
foreign currency fluctuations so as to manage foreign exchange risk.

Inflation
Inflation has not had a material impact on our business and results of operations.

accordance with Section 109A of the Companies Act, be entitled to the same advantages to which he or she
would be entitled if he or she were the registered holder of the Equity Share(s). Where the nominee is a
minor, the holder(s) may make a nomination to appoint, in the prescribed manner, any person to become
entitled to Equity Share(s) in the event of his or her death during the minority. A nomination shall stand
rescinded upon a sale/transfer/alienation of Equity Share(s) by the person nominating. A buyer will be
entitled to make a fresh nomination in the manner prescribed. A fresh nomination can be made only on the
prescribed form available on request at the registered office of our Company or with the Registrar.

In accordance with Section 109B of the Companies Act, any person who becomes a nominee by virtue of the
provisions of Section 109A of the Companies Act, shall upon the production of such evidence as may be
required by our Board, elect either:

1. To register himself or herself as the holder of the Equity Shares; or


2. To make such transfer of the Equity Shares, as the deceased holder could have made.

Further, our Board may at any time give notice requiring any nominee to choose either to be registered
himself or herself or to transfer the Equity Shares, and if the notice is not complied with, within a period of
90 days, our Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in
respect of the Equity Shares, until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

Since the allotment of Equity Shares in the Issue will be made only in dematerialized form, there is no need
to make a separate nomination with us. Nominations registered with the respective depository participant
of the applicant would prevail. If the investors require changing the nomination, they are requested to
inform their respective depository participant.

Prospectus and the Bid cum Application Form as would be required under the ICDR Regulations and other

1. Each Bid cum Application Form will give the Bidder the choice to bid for up to three optional prices
(for details refer to the paragraph titled “Bids at Different Price Levels and Revision of Bids” on page
279 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus) within the Price Band and specify the demand (i.e., the
number of Equity Shares Bid for) in each option. The price and demand options submitted by the
Bidder in the Bid cum Application Form will be treated as optional demands from the Bidder and will
not be cumulated. After determination of the Issue Price, the maximum number of Equity Shares Bid
for by a Bidder at or above the Issue Price will be considered for allocation/ Allotment and the rest of
the Bid(s), irrespective of the Bid Price, will become automatically invalid.
2. The Bidder cannot Bid on another Bid cum Application Form after Bid(s) on one Bid cum Application
Form have been submitted to any member of the Syndicate. Submission of a second Bid cum
Application Form to either the same or to another member of the Syndicate will be treated as multiple
Bids and is liable to be rejected either before entering the Bid into the electronic bidding system, or at
any point of time prior to the allocation or Allotment of Equity Shares in this Issue. However, the
Bidder can revise the Bid through the Revision Form, the procedure for which is detailed under the
paragraph titled “Bids at Different Price Levels and Revision of Bids” on page 279 of this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus.
3. Except in relation to the Bids received from Anchor Investors, the members of the Syndicate will enter
each Bid option into the electronic bidding system as a separate Bid and generate a Transaction
Registration Slip (“TRS”) for each price and demand option and give the same to the Bidder. Therefore,
a Bidder can receive up to three TRSs for each Bid cum Application Form.
4. During the Bidding/Issue Period, Bidders (excluding Anchor Investors) may approach the members of
the Syndicate to submit their Bid. Every member of the Syndicate shall accept Bids from all
clients/investors who place orders through them and shall have the right to vet the Bids, subject to the
terms of the Syndicate Agreement and this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
5. The BRLMs shall accept Bids from the Anchor Investors only during the Anchor Investor Bid/ Issue
Period i.e., one day prior to the Bid/ Issue Opening Date. The Members of the Syndicate shall accept
Bids from the Bidders during the Bid/Issue Period in accordance with the terms of the Syndicate
Agreement.
6. Along with the Bid cum Application Form, all Bidders will make payment in the manner described
under the paragraph titled “Terms of Payment and Payment into the Escrow Accounts” on page 286 of
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
7. For Issue Procedure, please refer section “Issue Procedure” on page no. 272 of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus.

Bids at Different Price Levels and Revision of Bids

1. The Bidder can bid at any price within the Price Band. The Bidder has to bid for the desired number of
Equity Shares at a specific price. Retail Individual Bidders applying for a maximum Bid in any of the
bidding options not exceeding Rs. 100,000 may bid at Cut-Off Price. However, bidding at Cut-Off Price
279
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

is prohibited for QIB, Non-Institutional Bidders bidding in excess of Rs. 100,000 and such bids shall be
rejected.
2. Retail Individual Bidders who bid at the Cut-Off Price agree that they shall purchase the Equity Shares
at any price within the Price Band. Retail Individual Bidders bidding at Cut-Off Price shall deposit the
Bid Price based on the higher end of the Price Band in the Escrow Account. In the event the Bid Price is
higher than the subscription amount payable by the Retail Individual Bidders who Bid at Cut off Price
(i.e., the total number of Equity Shares allocated in the Issue multiplied by the Issue Price), the Retail
Individual Bidders who Bid at Cut off Price, shall receive the refund of the excess amounts from the
Escrow Account.
3. In case of an upward revision in the Price Band announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders and
Bidders who had Bid at Cut-off Price could either (i) revise their Bid or (ii) make additional payment
based on the higher end of the Revised Price Band (such that the total amount i.e., original Bid Price
plus additional payment does not exceed Rs. 100,000 for Retail Individual Bidders, if the Bidder wants
to continue to Bid at Cut-off Price), with the members of the Syndicate to whom the original Bid was
submitted. In case the total amount (i.e., original Bid Price plus additional payment) exceeds Rs. 100,000
for Retail Individual Bidders the Bid will be considered for allocation under the Non- Institutional
Portion in terms of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. If, however, the Bidder does not either revise the
Bid or make additional payment and the Issue Price is higher than the higher end of the Price Band
prior to revision, the number of Equity Shares Bid for shall be adjusted downwards for the purpose of
Allotment, such that no additional payment would be required from the Bidder and such Bidder is
deemed to have approved such revised Bid at Cut-off Price.
4. In case of a downward revision in the Price Band, announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders who
have Bid at Cut-off Price could either revise their Bid or the excess amount paid at the time of bidding
would be refunded from the Escrow Account.
5. In the event of any revision in the Price Band, whether upwards or downwards, the minimum
application size shall remain [●] Equity Shares irrespective of whether the Bid Price payable on such
minimum application is not in the range of Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 7,000.
6. During the Bidding/ Issue Period, any bidder who has registered his or her interest in the Equity
Shares at a particular price level is free to revise his or her Bid within the Price Band using the printed
Revision Form, which is a part of the Bid cum Application Form.
7. Revisions can be made in both the desired number of Equity Shares and the Bid price by using the
Revision Form. The Bidder must also mention the details of all the options in his or her Bid cum
Application Form or earlier Revision Form. For example, if a Bidder has Bid for three options in the Bid
cum Application Form and he is changing only one of the options in the Revision Form, he must
complete all the details of the other two options that are not being revised, in the Revision Form. The
members of the Syndicate will not accept incomplete or inaccurate Revision Forms.
8. The Bidder can make this revision any number of times during the Bidding/ Issue Period. However,
for any revision(s) in the Bid, the Bidders will have to use the services of the same member of the
Syndicate through whom he or she had place the original Bid.
9. Bidders are advised to retain copies of the blank Revision Form and the revised Bid must be made only
in such Revision Form or copies thereof.
10. Any revision of the Bid shall be accompanied by payment in the form of cheque or demand draft for
the incremental amount, if any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid. The excess
amount, if any, resulting from downward revision of the Bid would be returned to the Bidder at the
time of refund in accordance with the terms of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. In case of the QIB
Bidders, the members of the Syndicate shall collect the payment in the form of cheque or demand draft
or electronic transfer of funds through RTGS for the incremental amount in the QIB Margin Amount, if
any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid at the time of one or more revisions by the
QIB Bidders.

280
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

11. When a Bidder revises his or her Bid, he or she shall surrender the earlier TRS and get a revised TRS
from the members of the Syndicate. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to request for and obtain the
revised TRS, which will act as proof of revision of the original bid.
12. Our Company, in consultation with the BRLMs, shall finalise the Issue Price and Anchor Investor Price
within the Price Band, without the prior approval of, or intimation to, the Bidders.

Electronic Registration of Bids

1. The Members of the Syndicate will register the Bids (except Bids from Anchor Investors) using the on-
line facilities of the BSE and the NSE. There will be at least one on-line connectivity in each city, where
a stock exchange is located in India and where Bids are being accepted.
2. The BSE and the NSE will offer a screen-based facility for registering Bids for the Issue. This facility will

registration of the Bid by the member of the Syndicate does not guarantee that the Equity Shares shall
be allocated/ Allotted either by the members of the Syndicate or our Company.
6. Such TRS will be non-negotiable and by itself will not create any obligation of any kind.
7. In case of QIB bidders, members of the syndicate also have the right to accept the bid or reject it.
However, such rejection should be made at the time of receiving the bid and only after assigning a
reason for such rejection in writing. In case of Non-Institutional Bidders, Retail Individual Bidders, Bids
would not be rejected except on the technical grounds mentioned on page 290 of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus.
8. It is also to be distinctly understood that the approval given by the BSE and the NSE to use their
network and software of the online IPO system should not in any way be deemed or construed that this
Red Herring Prospectus has been cleared or approved by the BSE and NSE; nor does it in any manner
warrant, certify or endorse the correctness or completeness of any of the contents of this Red Herring
Prospectus; nor does it warrant that our Equity Shares will be listed or will continue to be listed on the
BSE and NSE.

SAME AS THE NAME IN WHICH THE DEPOSITORY ACCOUNT IS HELD. IN CASE THE BID CUM
APPLICATION FORM IS SUBMITTED IN JOINT NAMES, IT SHOULD BE ENSURED THAT THE
DEPOSITORY ACCOUNT IS ALSO HELD IN THE SAME JOINT NAMES AND ARE IN THE SAME

284
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

given by Bidders in the Bid cum Application Form would not be used for any other purpose by the
Registrar to the Issue.

By signing the Bid cum Application Form, the Bidder would have deemed to have authorized the
Depositories to provide, upon request, to the Registrar to the Issue, the required Demographic Details as
available on its records.

In case of Bidders not receiving refunds through electronic transfer of funds, delivery of refund orders/
allocation advice/ CANs may get delayed if the same, once sent to the address obtained from the
Depositories, are returned undelivered. In such an event, the address and other details given by the
Bidder in the Bid cum Application Form would be used only to ensure dispatch of refund orders. Please
note that any such delay shall be at the Bidders sole risk and neither the Bank, the Registrar, Escrow
Collection Bank(s) nor the BRLMs shall be liable to compensate the Bidder for any losses caused to the
Bidder due to any such delay or pay any interest for such delay. In case of Bidders receiving refunds
through electronic modes, Bidders may note that refunds may get delayed if Bank particulars obtained
from the Depository Participant are incorrect.

In case no corresponding record is available with the Depositories that matches three parameters, namely,
names of the Bidders (including the order of names of joint holders), the Depository Participant’s identity
(DP ID) and the beneficiary’s identity, then such Bids are liable to be rejected.

Our Company in their absolute discretion, reserve the right to permit the holder of the power of attorney to
request the Registrar that for the purpose of printing particulars on the refund order and mailing of the
refund order/CANs/allocation advice/ refunds through electronic transfer of funds, the Demographic
Details given on the Bid cum Application Form should be used (and not those obtained from the
Depository of the Bidder). In such cases, the Registrar shall use Demographic Details as given in the Bid
cum Application Form instead of those obtained from the depositories.

Refunds, dividends and other distributions, if any, will be payable in Indian Rupees only at the
prevailing exchange rate and net of bank charges and/or commission. In case of Bidders who remit
money through Indian Rupee drafts purchased abroad, such payments in Indian Rupees will be
converted into US Dollars or any other freely convertible currency as may be permitted by the RBI at the
rate of exchange prevailing at the time of remittance and will be dispatched by registered post or if the
Bidders so desire, will be credited to their NRE accounts, details of which should be furnished in the
space provided for this purpose in the Bid cum Application Form. Our Company will not be responsible
for loss, if any, incurred by the Bidder on account of conversion of foreign currency.

OTHER INSTRUCTIONS

Joint Bids in the case of Individuals

Bids may be made in single or joint names (not more than three). In the case of joint Bids, all refund
payments will be made out in favour of the Bidder whose name appears first in the Bid cum Application
Form or Revision Form. All communication will be addressed to the First Bidder and will be dispatched to
his or her address as per the Demographic Details received from the Depository.

Multiple Bids

A Bidder should submit only one Bid (and not more than one) for the total number of Equity Shares
required. Two or more Bids will be deemed to be multiple Bids if the sole or First Bidder is one and the
same. Anchor Investors can Bid under the Anchor Investor Portion and also in the QIB Portion and such
Bids shall not be treated as multiple Bids.

In this regard, the procedures which would be followed by the Registrar to the Issue to detect multiple
applications are given below:

288
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

1. All applications with the same name and age will be accumulated and taken to a separate process file
which would serve as a multiple master.

2. In this master, a check will be carried out for the same PAN/GIR numbers. In cases where the
PAN/GIR numbers are different, the same will be deleted from this master.

3. The Registrar to the Issue will obtain, from the depositories, details of the applicant’s address based on
the DP ID and Beneficiary Account Number provided in the Bid cum Application Form and create an
address master.

4. The addresses of all these applications in the multiple master will be strung from the address master.
This involves putting the addresses in a single line after deleting non-alpha and non-numeric characters
i.e. commas, full stops, hash etc. Sometimes, the name, the first line of address and pin code will be
converted into a string for each application received and a photo match will be carried out amongst all
the applications processed. A print-out of the addresses will be taken to check for common names. The
applications with same name and same address will be treated as multiple applications.

5. The applications will be scanned for similar DP ID and Beneficiary Account Numbers. In case
applications bear the same DP ID and Beneficiary Account Numbers, these will be treated as multiple
applications.

6. Subsequent to the aforesaid procedures, a print out of the multiple master will be taken and the
applications physically verified to tally signatures as also father’s/husband’s names. On completion of
this, applications will finally be identified as multiple applications.

In case of a mutual fund, a separate Bid can be made in respect of each scheme of the mutual funds
registered with SEBI and such Bids in respect of more than one scheme of the mutual funds will not be
treated as multiple Bids provided that the Bids clearly indicate the scheme for which the Bid has been
made.

For Bids from Mutual Funds and FII sub-accounts which are submitted under the same PAN, as well as
Bids on behalf of the Central or State Government, an official liquidator or receiver appointed by a
court and residents of Sikkim for which submission of PAN is not mandatory, the Bids will be
scrutinised for DP ID and Beneficiary Account Numbers. In case such Bids bear the same DP ID and
Beneficiary Account Numbers, these will be treated as multiple Bids and will be rejected.

Our Company, in consultation with the BRLMs, reserves the right to reject, in its absolute discretion, all or
any multiple Bids in any or all categories.

Permanent Account Number or PAN

Pursuant to the circular MRD/DoP/Circ-05/2007 dated April 27, 2007, SEBI has mandated Permanent
Account Number (PAN) to be the sole identification number for all participants transacting in the securities
market, irrespective of the amount of the transaction with effect from July 2, 2007. Except for Bids on behalf
of the Central or State Government, an official liquidator or receiver appointed by a court and residents of
Sikkim, Bidders, or in case of a Bid in joint names, each of the Bidders, should mention his/her PAN
allotted under the IT Act. Applications without this information will be considered incomplete and are
liable to be rejected. It is to be specifically noted that Bidders should not submit the GIR number instead of
the PAN, as the Bid is liable to be rejected on this ground. With effect from August 16, 2010, the demat
accounts of Bidders for whom PAN details have not been verified shall be “suspended for credit” and no
credit of Equity Shares pursuant to the Issue will be made into the accounts of such Bidders.

289
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Unique Identification Number (“UIN”)

With effect from July 1, 2005, SEBI had decided to suspend all fresh registrations for obtaining UIN and the
requirement to contain/quote UIN under the SEBI MAPIN Regulations/Circulars vide its circular
MAPIN/Cir-13/2005. However, in a recent press release dated December 30, 2005, SEBI has approved
certain policy decisions and has now decided to resume registrations for obtaining UIN’s in a phased
manner. The press release states that the cut off limit for obtaining UIN has been raised from the existing
limit of trade order value of Rs. 100,000 to Rs. 500,000 or more. The limit will be reduced progressively. For
trade order value of less than Rs. 500,000, an option will be available to investors to obtain either the PAN
or UIN. These changes are, however, not effective as of the date of the Red Herring Prospectus and SEBI
has stated in the press release that the changes will be implemented only after necessary amendments are
made to the SEBI MAPIN Regulations.

Therefore, MAPIN is not required to be quoted with the Bids.

Our Right to Reject Bids

In case of QIB Bidders, our Company in consultation with the BRLMs may reject Bids provided that the
reasons for rejecting the same shall be provided to such Bidder in writing. In case of Non-Institutional
Bidders and Retail Individual Bidders, our Company has a right to reject Bids based on technical grounds.
Consequent refunds shall be made by cheque or pay order or draft and will be sent to the Bidder’s address
at the Bidder’s risk.

Our Company, in consultation with BRLMs, reserve the right to reject any Bid received from Anchor
Investors without assigning any reasons therefor.

Notice to Anchor Investors: Allotment Reconciliation and revised CANs

After the Anchor Investor Bidding Date, a physical book will be prepared by the Registrar on the basis of Bid cum
Application Forms received in the Anchor Investor Portion. Based on the physical book and at the discretion of our
Company, in consultation with the BRLMs, select Anchor Investors may be sent a CAN, within two Working Days
of the Anchor Investor Bidding Date, indicating the number of Equity Shares that may be allocated to them. The
provisional CAN shall constitute the valid, binding and irrevocable contract (subject only to the issue of a revised
CAN) for the Anchor Investor to pay the entire Issue Price for all the Equity Shares allocated to such Anchor
Investor. This provisional CAN and the final allocation is subject to (a) physical application being valid in all
respects along with stipulated documents being received by the Registrar to the Issue, (b) the Issue Price being
finalized at a price not higher than the higher than the Anchor Investor Price, and (c) the Allotment. Subject to SEBI
ICDR, certain Bids/ applications may be rejected due to technical reasons, non-receipt of funds, cancellation of
cheques, cheque bouncing, incorrect details, among other things, and these rejected Bids/ applications will be
reflected in the reconciliation and ‘Basis of Allocation’ as approved by the Designated Stock Exchange. In such
instances or in the event the Issue Price is fixed higher than the Anchor Investor Price, a revised CAN may be sent
to Anchor Investors, price of the Equity Shares in such revised CAN may be different from that specified in the
earlier CAN. Anchor Investors should note that they may be required to pay additional amounts, if any, by the Pay-
in Date specified in the revised CAN, for any increased allocation or price of Equity Shares, which shall in no event
be later than two days after the Bid/Issue Closing Date. Any revised CAN, if issued, will supersede in entirety, the
earlier CAN.

Notice to QIBs: Allotment Reconciliation and Revised CANs

After the Bid/Issue Closing Date, an electronic book will be prepared by the Registrar on the basis of Bids
uploaded on the BSE/NSE system. This shall be followed by a physical book prepared by the Registrar on
the basis of Bid-cum-Application Forms received. Based on the electronic book or the physical book, as the
case may be, QIBs may be sent a CAN, indicating the number of Equity Shares that may be allocated to
them. This CAN is subject to the basis of final allotment, which will be approved by the Designated Stock
Exchange and reflected in the reconciled book prepared by the Registrar. Subject to SEBI Regulations,
certain Bid cum Applications Forms may be rejected due to technical reasons, non-receipt of funds,
cancellation of cheques, cheque bouncing, incorrect details, etc., and these rejected applications will be
reflected in the reconciliation and basis of Allotment as approved by the Designated Stock Exchange. As a
result, a revised CAN may be sent to QIBs and the allocation of Equity Shares in such revised CAN may be
different from that specified in the earlier CAN. QIBs should note that they may be required to pay
additional amounts, if any, by the Pay-in Date specified in the revised CAN, for any increased allotment of
Equity Shares. The CAN will constitute the valid, binding and irrevocable contract (subject only to the issue
of a revised CAN) for the QIB to pay the entire Issue Price for all the Equity Shares allocated to such QIB.
Any revised CAN, if issued, will supersede in entirety the earlier CAN.

Method of Proportionate Basis of Allotment in the Issue

Except in relation to Anchor Investor, in the event the Issue is over-subscribed, the basis of Allotment shall be
finalized by our Company in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange. The Executive Director (or any
other senior official nominated by them) of the Designated Stock Exchange along with the BRLMs and the

298
AGS TRANSACT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

Registrar to the Issue shall be responsible for ensuring that basis of allotment is finalized in a fair and proper
manner.

Except in relation to Anchor Investor, the Allotment shall be made in marketable lots, on a proportionate basis as
explained below:

(a) Bidders will be categorized according to the number of Equity Shares applied for by them.
(b) The total number of Equity Shares to be allotted to each category as a whole shall be arrived at on a
proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for in that category (number of
Bidders in the category multiplied by the number of Equity Shares applied for) multiplied by the
inverse of the over-subscription ratio.
(c) Number of Equity Shares to be allotted to the successful Bidders will be arrived at on a proportionate
basis, which is total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that category multiplied by
the inverse of the over-subscription ratio.
(d) In all Bids where the proportionate Allotment is less than [●] Equity Shares per Bidder, the Allotment
shall be made as follows:
 The successful Bidders out of the total Bidders for a category shall be determined by draw of lots in
a manner such that the total number of Equity Shares Allotted in that portion is equal to the
number of Equity Shares calculated in accordance with (b) above; and
 Each successful Bidder shall be allotted a minimum of [●] Equity Shares.
(e) If the proportionate Allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than [●] but is not a multiple of one
(which is the market lot), the decimal would be rounded off to the higher whole number if that decimal
is 0.5 or higher. If that number is lower than 0.5, it would be rounded off to the lower whole number.
Allotment to all Bidders in such categories would be arrived at after such rounding off.
(f) If the Equity Shares allocated on a proportionate basis to any category are more than the Equity Shares
Allotted to the Bidders in that category, the remaining Equity Shares available for Allotment shall be
first adjusted against any other category, where the Allotted shares are not sufficient for proportionate
Allotment to the successful Bidders in that category. The balance Equity Shares, if any, remaining after
such adjustment will be added to the category comprising Bidders applying for minimum number of
Equity Shares.

instalments at fixed time (whether on account of the amount of the share or by way of premium) every such
amount or instalment shall be payable as if it were a call duly made by the Directors and of which due notice
has been given and all the provisions herein contained in respect of calls shall apply to such amount or
instalment accordingly.

37. On the trial or hearing of any action or suit brought by the Company against any Member or his
representatives for the recovery of any money claimed to be due to the Company in respect of his shares, if
shall be sufficient to prove that the name of the Member in respect of whose shares the money is sought to be
recovered, appears entered on the Register of Members as the holder, at or subsequent to the date at which
the money is sought to be recovered is alleged to have become due on the share in respect of which such
money is sought to be recovered in the Minute Books: and that notice of such call was duly given to the
Member or his representatives used in pursuance of these Articles: and that it shall not be necessary to prove
the appointment of the Directors who made such call, nor that a quorum of Directors was present at the Board
at which any call was made was duly convened or constituted nor any other matters whatsoever, but the
proof of the matters aforesaid shall be conclusive evidence of the debt.

38. Neither a judgment nor a decree in favour of the Company for calls or other moneys due in respect of any
shares nor any part payment or satisfaction thereunder nor the receipt by the Company of a portion of any
money which shall from time to time be due from any Member of the Company in respect of his shares, either
by way of principal or interest, nor any indulgence granted by the Company in respect of the payment of any
such money, shall preclude the Company from thereafter proceeding to enforce forfeiture of such shares as
hereinafter provided.

39. (a) The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, all or any part of
the amounts of his respective shares beyond the sums, actually called up and upon the moneys so paid
in advance, or upon so much thereof, from time to time, and at any time thereafter as exceeds the
amount of the calls then made upon and due in respect of the shares on account of which such advances
are made the Board may pay or allow interest, at such rate as the member paying the sum in advance
and the Board agree upon. The Board may agree to repay at any time any amount so advanced or may at
any time repay the same upon giving to the Member three months’ notice in writing: provided that
moneys paid in advance of calls on shares may carry interest but shall not confer a right to dividend or
to participate in profits.

(b) No Member paying any such sum in advance shall be entitled to voting rights in respect of the moneys
so paid by him until the same would but for such payment become presently payable. The provisions of this
Article shall mutatis mutandis apply to calls on debentures issued by the Company.

LIEN

40. The Company shall have a first and paramount lien upon all the shares/debentures (other than fully paid-up

the proceeds of sale thereof for all moneys (whether presently payable or not) called or payable at a fixed time
in respect of such shares/debentures and no equitable interest in any share shall be created except upon the
footing and condition that this Article will have full effect. And such lien shall extend to all dividends and
bonuses from time to time declared in respect of such shares/debentures. Unless otherwise agreed the
registration of a transfer of shares/debentures shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien if any, on such
shares/debentures. The Directors may at any time declare any shares/debentures wholly or in part to be
exempt from the provisions of this clause.

41. For the purpose of enforcing such lien the Directors may sell the shares subject thereto in such manner as they
shall think fit, but no sale shall be made until such period as aforesaid shall have arrived and until notice in
writing of the intention to sell shall have been served on such member or the person (if any) entitled by
transmission to the shares and default shall have been made by him in payment, fulfilment of discharge of
such debts, liabilities or engagements for seven days after such notice. To give effect to any such sale the
Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser thereof and purchaser shall be
registered as the holder of the shares comprised in any such transfer. Upon any such sale as the Certificates in
respect of the shares sold shall stand cancelled and become null and void and of no effect, and the Directors
shall be entitled to issue a new Certificate or Certificates in lieu thereof to the purchaser or purchasers
concerned.

42. The net proceeds of any such sale shall be received by the Company and applied in or towards payment of
such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and the residue, if any, shall
(subject to lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the person
entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.

FORFEITURE AND SURRENDER OF SHARES

43. If any Member fails to pay the whole or any part of any call or instalment or any moneys due in respect of any
shares either by way of principal or interest on or before the day appointed for the payment of the same, the
Directors may, at any time thereafter, during such time as the call or instalment or any part thereof or other
moneys as aforesaid remains unpaid or a judgment or decree in respect thereof remains unsatisfied in whole
or in part, serve a notice on such Member or on the person (if any) entitled to the shares by transmission,
requiring him to pay such call or instalment of such part thereof or other moneys as remain unpaid together
with any interest that may have accrued and all reasonable expenses (legal or otherwise) that may have been
accrued by the Company by reason of such non-payment. Provided that no such shares shall be forfeited if
any moneys shall remain unpaid in respect of any call or instalment or any part thereof as aforesaid by reason
of the delay occasioned in payment due to the necessity of complying with the provisions contained in the
relevant exchange control laws or other applicable laws of India, for the time being in force.

44. The notice shall name a day (not being less than fourteen days from the date of notice) and a place or places
on and at which such call or instalment and such interest thereon as the Directors shall determine from the
day on which such call or instalment ought to have been paid and expenses as aforesaid are to be paid. The
notice shall also state that, in the event of the non-payment at or before the time and at the place or places
appointed, the shares in respect of which the call was made or instalment is payable, will be liable to be
forfeited.

45. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid shall not be complied with, every or any share in respect of
which such notice has been given, may at any time thereafter but before payment of all calls or instalments,
interest and expenses, due in respect thereof, be forfeited by resolution of the Board to that effect. Such
forfeiture shall include all dividends declared or any other moneys payable in respect of the forfeited share
and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

46. When any shares have been forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shall be given to the member in whose name it
stood immediately prior to the forfeiture, and an entry of the forfeiture, with the date thereof shall forthwith
be made in the Register of Members.

47. Any shares so forfeited, shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and may be sold, re-allotted, or
otherwise disposed of, either to the original holder thereof or to any other person, upon such terms and in
such manner as the Board in their absolute discretion shall think fit.

48. Any Member whose shares have been forfeited shall notwithstanding the forfeiture, be liable to pay and shall
forthwith pay to the Company, on demand all calls, instalments, interest and expenses owing upon or in
respect of such shares at the time of the forfeiture, together with interest thereon from the time of the
forfeiture until payment, at such rate as the Board may determine and the Board may enforce the payment of
the whole or a portion thereof as if it were a new call made at the date of the forfeiture, but shall not be under
any obligation to do so.

49. The forfeiture shares shall involve extinction at the time of the forfeiture, of all interest in all claims and
demand against the Company, in respect of the share and all other rights incidental to the share, except only
such of those rights as by these Articles are expressly saved.

50. A declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director or Secretary of the Company and that shares in the
Company have been duly forfeited in accordance with these articles on a date stated in the declaration, shall
be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the shares.

51. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for the share on any sale, re-allotment or other
disposition thereof and the person to whom such share is sold, re-allotted or disposed of may be registered as
the holder of the share and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration: if any, nor
shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularly or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the
forfeiture, sale, re-allotment or other disposal of the shares.

52. Upon any sale, re-allotment or other disposal under the provisions of the preceding Article, the certificate or
certificates originally issued in respect of the relative shares shall (unless the same shall on demand by the
Company have been previously surrendered to it by the defaulting member) stand cancelled and become null
and void and of no effect, and the Directors shall be entitled to issue a duplicate certificate or certificates in
respect of the said shares to the person or persons entitled thereto.

53. In the meantime and until any share so forfeited shall be sold, re-allotted, or otherwise dealt with as aforesaid,
the forfeiture thereof may, at the discretion and by a resolution of the Directors, be remitted as a matter of
grace and favour, and not as was owing thereon to the Company at the time of forfeiture being declared with
interest for the same unto the time of the actual payment thereof if the Directors shall think fit to receive the
same, or on any other terms which the Director may deem reasonable.

54. The Directors may, subject to the provisions of the Act, accept a surrender of any share from or by any
Member desirous of surrendering on such terms the Directors may think fit.

Directors that the instrument of transfer signed by or on behalf of the transferor and by or on behalf of the
transferee has been lost, the Company may register the transfer on such terms as to indemnity as the Board
may think fit, provided further that nothing in this Article shall prejudice any power of the Company to

operation of law.

Act, 1956, the Directors may, at their own absolute and uncontrolled discretion and by giving reasons, decline
to register or acknowledge any transfer of shares whether fully paid or not and the right of refusal, shall not
be affected by the circumstances that the proposed transferee is already a member of the Company but in
such cases, the Directors shall within one month from the date on which the instrument of transfer was
lodged with the Company, send to the transferee and transferor notice of the refusal to register such transfer
provided that registration of transfer shall not be refused on the ground of the transferor being either alone or

the company has a lien on the shares. However, no transfer of shares/debentures shall be refused on the ground of them not
being held in marketable lots.

than forty-five days in the aggregate in any year or any statutory modification thereof.

62. The instrument of transfer shall after registration be retained by the Company and shall remain in its custody.

of post.

Directors registered as Member in respect of such shares; provided nevertheless that if such person shall elect
