As we step into the 6th year since commencement of operations, Asirvad has been part of the highs and
lows experienced by the industry. Amongst all this, one aspect stands out very prominently – the power of its
people. As the saying goes, “Men are more powerful than all the resources of the world”, Asirvad has been
fortunate to attract some of the best talent to manage its Microfinance operations. The fact that about 75%
of the employees have been with the organization for 2 or more years speaks volumes about the employeefriendly nature of the organization.
Challenging yet exciting working environment, attractive effort-reward ratio, and genuine concern towards
employee welfare have been the hallmarks of Asirvad. It would not be an overstatement to say that the
employees have amply reciprocated the warmth showered on them. Despite the rough times faced by the
industry since the infamous AP crisis that broke out in Oct ’10, Asirvad and its staff have been of huge support
to each other. The diligence exhibited by the staff, right from the field staff to the Management team, coupled
with the able guidance, support and encouragement of the Board, has contributed to the organization tiding
over the crisis and be in a position poised for future growth.
Asirvad is proud to have to have ‘People power’ as the central theme of its 6th Annual report. We are confident
that ‘Together, we will achieve more’ and continue to contribute to the welfare and service of the underserved.

Sixth Annual Report 2012-13
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Access to financial services is perhaps one
of the most important requirements of any
household across the world. Access to finance
in turn leads to access to other services and
consequently better standard of living. However,
we find a characteristic peculiarity in the
Indian context with respect to the availability of
financial resources. While the rural households
do have manifold needs, their ability to avail
financial resources is severely constrained. This
is primarily due to supply restrictions like the
outright absence of financial services facilities
in rural areas or inappropriateness of products
and delivery processes to the needs of the
targeted populations.
Given this background, Microfinance, as a
means of providing financial access to hitherto
underserved segments, held huge promises
because of its explicit mission to target
population who stand excluded from access
to financial services, and also because of its
innovative nature. Simplicity of the processes
involved, direct lending to the beneficiary, and
the door-step collections served as the primary
attractions. Women particularly were able to
benefit from microfinance as many Microfinance
Institutions (MFIs) targeted female clients.
Microfinance services resulted in women’s
empowerment by positively influencing women’s
decision-making power and enhancing their
overall socio-economic status.
Amidst all the positive impact created by the MFIs
on the borrowers and their standard of living,
9
there were certain undesirable practices, albeit
too few, that had crept into the operations of the
MFIs. The infamous AP crisis of Oct 2010 was the
step taken by the Andhra Pradesh Government
to weed out those practices, which unfortunately
had a crippling effect on the entire industry.
However, much has happened since then and I
am glad to note that the MFI sector is well on its
path to recovery. RBI’s initiative in creating a new
category of NBFC-MFI, Central bill to regulate
the NBFC-MFIs to be tabled in the parliament,
protection of borrower and organization interests
through the usage of credit bureau were all the
steps in the right direction to resurrect the MFI
industry. Lot of progress has been made and the
industry has managed to get back some of its
lost aura.
Asirvad was formed with the intention of providing
financial access to the underserved through the
formation of a commercially viable business. I am
happy to state that we have managed to achieve
our stated objectives without compromising the
interests of any of our stakeholders. We have
created an efficient organization upon the strong
foundation of sound corporate governance, set
up well-oiled processes, managed to attract
talented people who have helped achieve our
objectives within a short time frame. I am sure
that we will scale new highs in the years to come.
The liquidity conditions started to improve
during the 2nd half of 2012-13 and Asirvad was
also a beneficiary of liquidity from banks and
financial institutions given the strength of its
operations. We were able to develop new funding
relationships and also obtain enhancements from
existing funders. This resulted in growth of our
portfolio in FY 2012-13 by about 30% against FY
2011-12. Given the tough liquidity conditions that
persisted in FY 2011-12, we had also rationalized
our branch expenses through consolidation
measures. Once the funds position eased out, we
were able to utilize our infrastructure in a better
manner resulting in portfolio growth
Sixth Annual Report 2012-13
I also take pride in mentioning that continuous
process efficiency is accorded top priority at
Asirvad. We have been one of the earliest to
subscribe to the Credit bureau, share exhaustive
data with them and also use the bureau reports
for credit decisioning. This has enabled us to
build portfolio of very strong quality and also
comply with the Central bank regulations. The
technology used at Asirvad is robust enough to
facilitate such data sharing with the bureaus
and we have also continuously enhanced our
software to ensure that it is in line with the
various guidelines that have been laid out
from time to time. We have also submitted our
application for registration as NBFC-MFI and all
the queries that had been raised by the Central
bank from time to time in this regard have been
addressed to their satisfaction.
All this was made possible due to the untiring
efforts of Asirvad staff, who are the pillars
of strength on which Asirvad rests. It is also
heartening to note that most of our staff are of
high vintage which indicate that they have been
with the organization in both the happy and
turbulent times. The single pointed objective of
our field staff is to make a valuable contribution
to the lives of our clients and thereby uplift
their standard of living. They are ably guided by
the senior management members, who have
longstanding experience in the field of banking
and financial services. Such experience has
been leveraged to make Asirvad an efficient and
effective organisation, which has helped us to
sustain ourselves during times of crisis as well
,the reason why we have dedicated this years
Annual Report Cover to them.
Asirvad Development Foundation (ADF), the
Social Responsibility wing of our company, set
up in March 2010 continued to provide assistance
to our members and to the economically weaker
section of the society at large. During the year
2012-13, our Trust launched student scholarship
schemes for the benefit of poor children so that
they may have access to good education. Our
Trust had also provided funds for the renovation
10
of school buildings at remote places in order
to ensure infrastructure development in such
schools. We remain committed to our social
objectives and we have transferred 5% of our
current year profits to Asirvad Development
Foundation.
On behalf of Asirvad, I take this opportunity
to express my sincere gratitude to all the
stakeholders for their continued and active
support. The commitment and co-operation of
our staff has been the single most important
factor in Asirvad achieving its mission and the
company derives maximum strength from their
dedication and hard work to achieve its ambitious
growth plans. Good times await us and I pray
that Asirvad continues to grow from strength to
strength and contribute positively to the agenda
of financial inclusion and social development.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
Financial inclusion is defined as the delivery of financial services, at affordable costs, to sections of
disadvantaged and low income segments of society. Given the wide diaspora of people living in our
country, it becomes essential to provide everyone with access to finance in order to bring about an
improvement in standard of life and living. Traditional financial institutions like banks were not able
to achieve this goal of financial inclusion completely due to their business model which makes such
business unviable. Microfinance Institutions (MFI) provided a solution to bridge this gap and made
financial access possible even to the low income segments of the society.
The business model made commercial and social sense which enabled the MFIs to grow at a rapid
pace. Historically, the industry was always prone to certain setbacks and the infamous AP crisis
was the latest to hit the sector in Oct 2010. Much progress has been made since then with the
Reserve bank of India creating a separate category of NBFC-MFI, promulgating various ordinances
to regulate their activities, bringing about a cap on the interest rates and margins, streamlining the
collection mechanism, preparation of a Microfinance bill to bring about a central regulator, MFIs’
usage of credit bureaus to avoid over-indebtedness and multiple lending, etc which has helped the
industry to come out of the crisis.
The much wanted liquidity started finding its way back to the sector thereby exhibiting the renewed
confidence of the lenders. Asirvad was also a beneficiary of such renewed trust, which helped the
organization raise significant amount of funds during the third and fourth quarters of 2012-13. This
in turn enabled the organization to grow its portfolio beyond the Rs. 100 Cr mark despite the tight
market conditions and stiff competition from other MFIs in the State of Tamil Nadu. Our company
was also a participant in a number of multi-originator transactions which ensured reasonably steady
flow of liquidity for on-lending during the lean period. Asirvad was also a party to the only listed
Multi-Originator Securitization transaction structured by IFMR Capital, which was a landmark event
in the annals of MFI industry.
Given the margin cap imposed by RBI, Asirvad had undertaken expense rationalization measures
during 2011-12, which continued during the current year as well. Unprofitable branches were
consolidated resulting in expense saves. Usage of credit bureau coupled with stringent underwriting
norms ensured the build-up of a strong portfolio, resulting in NIL delinquent portfolio as at Mar ’13.
ADHERENCE TO RBI GUIDELINES
In addition to the guidlines issued by RBI to qualify for registration as NBFC - MFI, RBI introduced new
FPC codes and other guidelines for ensuring fair practices in business and protecting the borrowers
from excessive interest rates and over-indebtedness. Our Company proactively ensured compliance
with all the stipulated guidelines.
WAY FORWARD
Over the last few months, Reserve Bank of India has been donning the mantle of being the regulator
of the microfinance sector and through its recent guidelines for registering as “NBFC-MFI” has
signaled its intention to streamline the activities of MFIs towards inclusive growth. Our company has
already applied for registering as “NBFC -MFI and we hope that will pave the way for banks to start
lending to this sector on a continuous basis, which will help in providing financial assistance to the
17
Sixth Annual Report 2012-13
people living at the bottom of the pyramid and go a long way in building a stronger and vibrant India.
FINANCIAL YEAR 2012-13
Liquidity pressure was felt through the first half of 2012-13 and our portfolio had shown a sharp
de-growth during this period. However, the last quarter witnessed fresh inflow of funds which helped
in achieving the current portfolio size. Our company revamped the business model, products and
continuously took steps to strengthen the processes and audit framework to ensure that issues, if
any, are resolved immediately.
Our company continues to rely on the strengths of good governance, technological efficiency,
distribution network, and strong and efficient processes which have been the cornerstones of our
success and the basis on which our portfolio was built.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial year 2012-13 saw some light at the end of the tunnel as portfolio started to exhibit a
growing trend. RBI had issued guidelines from time to time which were adhered to strictly by our
company. Expense reduction, consolidation of branches was undertaken keeping the branch viability
and geographical concerns in mind. Due to the untiring work of field staff our portfolio grew by about
30% compared to the previous year, and we are confident that we will be able to grow this further in
the forthcoming years due to the strong management capabilities and the policies in place.

CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES
The key to the success of any business lies in having a healthy relationship with the primary
customers. This is more so for the Microfinance industry as the customers come from the lower
half of the pyramid and hence customer training assumes paramount importance. Keeping this in
mind, we have not compromised on the 3-day training provided to them before the disbursal of
the loan wherein they are kept informed about the profile of the company, terms and conditions
of our products, pricing and other important issues. We are also committed to ensure complete
transparency in our operations. Also in line with the RBI guidelines, our Company interacts with the
customers by having scheduled group meetings in a common place without causing any hindrance to
the general public. We are one of the very few companies that still insist on a minimum attendance
and give more weightage to the attendance criteria during the grant of a higher cycle loan.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Field Development Officers are primarily socially motivated and they work “to help people”. Being
a highly people oriented business, the primary challenge is to find a large pool of people with the
right skill sets and aptitude, followed by additional challenges of retention, talent management and
development. It is also necessary to enhance their skill and knowledge so that they become capable
of assuming higher responsibilities in the future.
As at the end of March 31, 2013, the number of employees in our Company stood at 280 across 20
districts of Tamil Nadu.
The other challenge is to manage the attrition which is generally high amongst the Field Officers due
to their tendency to shift employment regularly for higher monetary benefits to other companies or
other lucrative industries. The compensation provided by our company is benchmarked to the market
and we also conduct performance appraisal to retain the best talent and take steps to promote and
reward high performing individuals. Out of the total employee strength mentioned above, about 75%
of employees have been with us for more than 2 years, which indicates the high level of employee
stickiness that has been the foundation on which the organization rests.
TRAINING
Our company imparts induction and also continuous training to our staff so that they have a clear
understanding of the processes followed and also get the necessary skiils to shoulder additional
responsibilities which will help in their career progression. Our company has a DVD (in vernacular
language) containing the operational process in detail which is used to impart induction training to
the staff. Also the incumbent field staff is placed under senior field staff and he / she accompanies
the senior staff during field visits which will enable him/her to understand the process on the field
under an able guidance.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Our company had strongly relied on technology for capturing borrower data and updating the
collections which has resulted in better operational and reporting requirement, reducing the manhours of staff and productively utilizing the time of field staff. We have separate data engines to
meet our transactional and reporting requirements. We have also hired dedicated server space in
an external server for data storage in addition to a server hosted at Chennai, which acts as the
backup. This ensures close to zero outage time and demonstrates our preparedness to meet any
eventualities.

TREASURY
Raising liquidity was a challenge during the first half of the financial year 2012-13. Despite strong
portfolio without any presence in AP, banks were still reluctant in opening up any funding to the
industry at large. Due to our good relationships with funders and more importantly our efficient
process framework, our company managed to get sanctions from banks and development institutions
during the second half of the financial year. During the year, we had managed to raise about Rs. 148
Crores from various sources which enables us to cater to the needs of our borrowers.
INTERNAL AUDIT
In order to maintain better control over our processes and also as an expense reduction measure, our
company migrated to an in-house audit team during the current financial year. This has resulted in
better supervision and management and immediate resolution of issues. Through this arrangement,
our Company also managed to retain and provide better opportunities to some of the senior staff (at
Area Manager level) who have been managing the operations for quite some time and this gave them
the opportunity to utilize their skills in a different function.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Every organization is subject to the following risks - Credit risk (risk of delinquency), Operational risk
(risk of inadequate processes), Liquidity risk (risk of paucity in funding availability) and Sector risk
(political considerations and the like). The Risk Management framework of an organization serves to
minimize the impact in the event of any risks threatening to compromise the organizational strength.
Our company had put in adequate checks and balances to minimize these risk incidents and also to
counter-act as and when these risks occur. Our Company has constantly brought in changes to the
time tested processes to away untoward incidents and help manage credit and operational risks. The
stringent borrower selection process ensures minimal credit risk and employee training coupled
with a robust audit mechanism helps manage operational risk.
Our Company has also constituted the ALCO (Asset-Liability Committee) which meets at periodic
intervals to ensure that there is always a positive asset-liability pattern and funding is adequately
available to meet the financial obligations that become due in the forthcoming months. The ALM
of the organization is discussed in detail and necessary action taken to ensure that it is in line with
standard requirements.
Our company mandates strict adherence to regulatory guidelines comprising of KYC requirements,
transparency, usage of credit bureau, etc, and thereby expended all efforts to ensure orderly
functioning, which in a matured scenario, would be sufficient to address the sector risk. We also
expect these to act as confidence building measures for the banks to resume funding to our company
which would serve to address the liquidity risk.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Asirvad believes that Governance is a process by which a Board of Directors, through its Management
guides an institution in fulfilling its corporate mission and protects the institution’s assets over time.
A Board of Directors is established to provide oversight and give direction to the managers of an
institution. Good Governance is about achieving desired results and also achieving them in the
right way.
Asirvad’s Board includes well respected directors who provide visibility and direction to the institution
and also lend credibility to the Board. They, along with the Management, play a key role in developing
the institution’s strategic direction and making critical operational decisions.
Asirvad’s Board brings with them long years of strong expertise and is actively involved in defining
and monitoring the activities of the institution. Directors are kept informed of the ongoing operations

Management in overseeing its implementation and identify any shortcomings quickly and effectively

organisation’s progress and growth.
Corporate Governance is about promoting corporate fairness, transparency and accountability by

Corporate governance is the acceptance by management of the inalienable rights of shareholders as
the true owners of the corporation and of their own role as trustees on behalf of the shareholders.

personal and corporate interests in the management of a company. Asirvad promotes greater
transparency and better corporate governance to enhance long-term shareholder value and respect
minority rights in all our business decisions. Creating value that is not only profitable to the business

manner is one of the cornerstones of the Corporate governance at Asirvad. Asirvad encourages

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBLITY
The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful than a
thousand heads bowing in prayer.
-Mahatma Gandhi
One more year of trials and tribulations, endurance and perseverance, culminating in great
achievements and jubilation has passed. With bountiful blessings of the Almighty, generous support
from benefactors, timely assistance from authorities, dedicated service from the staff and, above all,
whole hearted cooperation from the beneficiaries and public at large, at every step of the way, we
were able to turn every thorn into a rose petal despite the tough operating environment.
ADF believes in the practice of benevolent giving and caring. During 2012-13, ADF focused its
attention on providing scholarships to poor students and also providing funds for primary schools
in order to improve the infrastructure facilities as it was observed that the rural schools did not
even have the basic infrastructure facilities. In some cases school students were forced to sit under
thatched roofs or under trees for their classes which resulted in school dropouts. Classrooms with
lack of resources also affected the mental health of the children.
Our Trust provided financial assistance to NMR Subbaraman Memorial Residential Primary School
at Madurai for renovation of the school building and the first instalment was paid last year. It is hoped
that the new facilities will provide the students with a more comfortable environment conducive for
learning. The renovation work was constantly supervised by the staff of AMPL and the inauguration
function was organized on the 30th July 2012. Mr. S V Raja Vaidyanathan, Managing Trustee was
the Chief Guest who laid the foundation stone and inaugurated the renovated school building. The
management and students were delighted to have the renovated building and the management was
very appreciative of the activities of the trust.
NMR Subbaraman Memorial Residential Primary School, Madurai
Our trust also received request for financial assistance from Anbu Primary School, Chinnalapatti for
repairing the thatched roofing and the side walls. The renovation work was completed successfully
and the inauguration function was organized on the 9th November 2012. Mr. S V Raja Vaidyanathan,
Managing Trustee was the Chief Guest who laid the foundation stone and inaugurated the renovated
school building in the presence of school functionaries. The students performed various cultural
programmes which lifted the spirits of all the people attending the function.
29
Sixth Annual Report 2012-13
ANBU Primary School, Chinnalapatti
Improving health care access for those with limited incomes and resources is one of the fundamental
objects of the trust. Our Trust facilitates low-income, uninsured, and underserved to have access to
health care. The free health camps which were started last year provided the much needed impetus
for people to get regular medical checkups done and also get treatment at the appropriate time. With
the objective of providing medical care to such people, this year Asirvad decided to provide donations
for medical assistance. The trust received request from Ms. Vimala, w/o Santhiyagu, suffering from
Diabetes Mellitus with gangrene on his right foot, for financial assistance towards her husband’s
surgery expenses. With the financial assistance from ADF, he was able to procure artificial limb and
benefit from the same.
ADF launched the Scholarship for School Student (SSS) last year to bring inclusive development at
the grass root level and continued with the scheme for the Academic Year 2012-13. 20 applications
were shortlisted and these students received scholarships for the academic year 2012 – 2013 and
this scholarship will be continued till these children complete their higher education.
Any catastrophe affects the life of people, especially poor people whose homes and livelihood get
badly damaged by such untoward events. All over the world, life of people changes the day calamities
hit them and they are caught off guard by natural / man-made disasters. It takes a very long time
for them to come back to normalcy. These instances also leave a scar in the minds of the affected.
One such case was the recent fire accident at Tuticorin. It was very disheartening to note that the
huts were gutted and people lost all the utensils affecting their daily way of life. Suddenly, they were
forced on to the streets with no shelter and no food. Government and many other organizations had
been giving a helping hand in those needy hours by providing meals. Our trust also joined the effort
and it was decided to give utensils and mattress to the affected lot. The items were distributed to the
affected lot by the staff of AMPL.
Aide given to people affected by natural calamities
30
Sixth Annual Report 2012-13
In all these endeavours, we have received the generous and whole-hearted support and assistance
from thousands of individuals, institutions and organizations, both Government and Non-Government,
national and international. Our achievements are still miniscule when compared to the immensity
and imminence of the tasks we have already committed ourselves to and the tasks awaiting and
clamouring for our attention. Our trust looks forward and gears up for the immense work awaiting
us in the field of social service that uplifts the oppressed, awakens the depressed, comforts the
deprived and rehabilitates the displaced. Our trust would continue to work towards the uplift of the
poor and is confident of valuable contributions from all concerned in furthering its objectives of
catering to the health, education and other activities in the future.

Sixth Annual Report 2012-13
NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2013
NOTE 1 : SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Nature of the operation
Asirvad Micro Finance Private Limited (‘the Company’) was incorporated in August 2007.
The company is engaged in extending micro credit advances to poor women, who are otherwise
unable to access finance from the main stream banking channels. The Company provides small
value collateral free loans up to Rs. 20,000 for a tenor of 50 weeks / 12 months / 18 months with
weekly / monthly repayments. The Company follows the Grameen model with suitable adoptions
using the joint liability framework, where each member of the group guarantees the loan repayment
of the other members of the group.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards
notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (as amended) and the relevant
provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial statements have been prepared on accrual
basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
financial statements are consistent with those followed in the previous year except for change in the
accounting policy for accounting of finance charges as more fully described in Note 2 (g) below.
The Company follows the prudential norms for income recognition, asset classification and
provisioning as prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India for Systemically Important Non-deposit
taking Non-Banking Finance Companies (NBFC-ND-SI) or more stringent norms as indicated in
Note 2(n) below.
a. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the Management to make estimates and
assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities) as of the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expenses during the
reporting period like provisioning for employee benefits, provisioning for receivables, provisioning for
credit enhancement for assets de-recognized, useful lives of fixed assets, provisioning for taxation
etc. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are
prudent and reasonable. Future results may vary from these estimates.
b. Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible assets:
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation / amortization and impairment losses,
where applicable. The Company capitalizes all costs relating to the acquisition and installation of
fixed assets. Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its
working condition for its intended use.
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on the written down value method basis, pro-rata to the
period of use of the assets at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of Companies Act, 1956.

impairment based on internal / external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future
cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor. When there is indication
that an impairment loss recognized for an asset in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may
have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss,
except in case of revalued assets.
d. Investments
Investments which are long term in nature are stated at cost less provision where necessary for
diminution, other than temporary, in the value of investments.

b) Accounting Standard 4 as applicable to MFIs allows charge off of assets only when the MFI’s contractual right to

payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the lease liability
based on the implicit rate of return. Finance charges are charged directly against income.

lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized
as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

r. Provision for credit enhancements on assets derecognized
Provision for credit enhancements on assets derecognized is made based on Management estimates
at 1% of the outstanding amount of assets de-recognized from the books of the company as at the
Balance Sheet Date.
s. Cash and cash equivalents (for purposes of Cash Flow Statement)
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short –term
balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value.
t. Cash flow Statement
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit / (loss) before extraordinary items
and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals
of past or future cash receipts or payments. The cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities of the Company are segregated based on the available information.
Note 26 – Finance Charges
Hitherto, the company was charging off the finance charges incurred on borrowings to the statement
of profit and loss in the year in which it was incurred. However, from the current year the company
has changed its policy to defer the finance charges over the tenure of the underlying receivables in
line with the Accounting standard 16. Consequently the finance charges debited to the statement of
profit and loss for the year ended 31st March, 2013 is lower by Rs 18,001,804 with a corresponding
impact on the profit for the year.
