2. PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY
In the reporting year, the turnover and the operating profit of your company has declined as compared to the previous year. In the reporting year, the company has continued its focus on transitioning from an outsourced service oriented business to product based offerings.

3. STATE OF COMPANY AFFAIRS
Your company is re-orienting its strategy to offer a suite of IP driven software products and solutions built around structured data. In this area, your company is already occupying a leading position in reporting solutions built on the XBRL information standard.

The market for your company’s structured data offerings is at the cusp of rapid growth. Countries across the world are in the process of adopting XBRL as the reporting standard for external reporting. Regulators across capital markets, banking, business registries and taxation are at the forefront of XBRL adoption. Adoption paves the way for your company to enter the emerging markets through filing solutions and associated offerings to a range of filing entities. Your company already has XBRL implementations / on-going projects with regulators across South Africa, Macedonia, UAE, Qatar, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Mauritius, Kuwait and India. These wide ranges of implementations have given your company an unparalleled depth of knowledge in the XBRL domain, which is leveraged in driving the software product strategy as well.

In addition to providing software that help filers, especially financial institutions, automate their XBRL reporting to the regulators, your company has also now introduced offerings in related compliance filings area such as ‘FATCA’ reporting. Your company’s XBRL filing creation business that now cater to the USA, UK , Italy and Indian markets is now in a process of migrating to a new collaborative cloud (SaaS) based XBRL reporting solution named ‘Carbon’, enabling your company to move up the value chain and build global scale while mitigating customer concentration risks. Your company is also in the process of building comprehensive corporate fundamental datasets for a range of potential customers, leveraging its global XBRL data consumption platform. The on-going implementation of the ‘Data Act’ by the US federal government is expected to open significant opportunities for your company’s established structured data solutions. Your company is represented at various XBRL international forums through representations at the board level, steering committees and working groups that set the specification and direction of the structured data standard.
