Description Of Business | |
Description of Business | Overview Freedom Holding Corp. is a Nevada corporation (“FRHC”) and was formerly known as BMB Munai, Inc. In 2015, FRHC entered into a Share Exchange and Acquisition Agreement with Timur Turlov (the “Acquisition Agreement”) to acquire several businesses owned by Timur Turlov in exchange for controlling interest in FRHC. As the acquisitions are completed these businesses have become operating subsidiaries of FRHC. FRHC is building an international brokerage, banking, and financial services firm to meet the demand of a growing number of investors in Russia and Kazakhstan that desire financial services integration and greater access to the financial opportunities, relative stability, and integrity of the U.S. securities markets. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, FRHC acquired FFIN Securities, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (“FFIN”) from Timur Turlov and controlling interest in FRHC was transferred to him. FFIN was established to create or acquire a registered broker-dealer in the United States. At the same time, FRHC began upgrading the financial reporting capabilities of its foreign acquisition candidates to meet the regulatory standards imposed upon FRHC as an SEC registrant and pursuing the governmental approvals to permit FRHC ownership of the acquisition candidates. In June 2017, FRHC closed the acquisition of LLC Investment Company Freedom Finance, a Russian limited liability company (“Freedom RU”) as a wholly owned subsidiary, which included three wholly owned operating subsidiaries, including JSC Freedom Finance, a Kazakhstan joint stock company (“Freedom KZ”), LLC First Stock Store, a Russian limited liability company (“Freedom 24”) and LLC FFIN Bank, a Russian limited liability company (“FFIN Bank”). Freedom RU also maintains a representative office in Kazakhstan, referred to herein as “KZ Branch.” In 2017, FFIN decided to delay application for broker-dealer registration in the United States until such time as FRHC completes integration of its foreign operating subsidiaries. Subsequent to the quarter end, in November 2017, we received final regulatory approval to complete the acquisition of FFINEU Investments Limited, a Cyprus limited company (“Freedom CY”) and closed the acquisition of Freedom CY on November 10, 2017. We also entered into an agreement to acquire LLC Freedom Finance Ukraine, a Ukranian limited liability company (“Freedom UA”), subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals. Freedom RU provides brokerage and financial services in the capital markets in Russia, including maintaining customer accounts, managing investment portfolios, providing financial consulting and engaging in market making activities. Freedom KZ is licensed to provide brokerage and financial services in the capital markets of Kazakhstan, including the right to maintain customer accounts, manage investment portfolios, provide financial consulting, provide underwriting services and engage in market making activities. Freedom 24 built and manages the first online securities marketplace for retail customers in Russia. Freedom 24 attracts new brokerage clients to Freedom RU through a proprietary platform and internet portal for individual investors in Russia to establish a brokerage account and buy securities. FFIN Bank is licensed to engage in consumer banking operations in the Russian Federation. Freedom CY is licensed in Cyprus to provide brokerage and financial services in Cyprus including receiving, transmitting and executing customer orders, establishing custodial accounts, engaging in foreign currency exchange services and margin lending, and trading its own investment portfolio. Freedom UA is licensed to provide securities brokerage and depository services in Ukraine, but does not engage in proprietary trading activity. Unless otherwise specifically indicated or as is otherwise contextually required, FRHC, FFIN, Freedom RU, Freedom KZ, FFIN Bank, Freedom 24 and KZ Branch are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”. |

Description Of Business | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Accounting principles The Company’s accounting policies and accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). These financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Basis of presentation The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements present the consolidated accounts of FRHC, FFIN, Freedom RU, Freedom KZ, Freedom 24, FFIN Bank and KZ Branch. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 30, 2017. The condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2017, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements not included herein. Operating results for the six-month period ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2018. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue and expense recognition The Company earns interest and noninterest income from its proprietary trading accounts from various sources, including: ● Securities, derivatives and foreign exchange activities; ● Reverse repurchase agreements; and ● Bank deposits. Revenue earned on interest-earning assets, including unearned income and the amortization/ accretion of premiums or discounts recognized on debt securities, bank deposits and loans issued is recognized based on the constant effective yield of the financial instrument or based on other applicable accounting guidance. Gains and losses on the sale of securities and certain derivatives are recognized on a trade-date basis. The Company earns fees and commissions from its customers from: ● Providing brokerage services; ● Providing banking services (money transfers, foreign exchange operations and other); and ● Agency fees. The Company also earns revenues from investment banking, underwriting, market making, and bondholders’ representation services. Service charges on brokerage, banking, agency, investment banking and market making services, are recognized when earned. Brokerage fees are recognized on a trade-date basis. The Company recognizes revenue when four basic criteria have been met: ● Existence of persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; ● Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; ● The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and ● Collectability is reasonably assured. Derivative financial instruments In the normal course of business, the Company invests in various derivative financial contracts including futures. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. The fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices or pricing models that take into account the current market and contractual prices of the underlying instruments and other factors. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when it is negative. Derivatives are included in assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company purchases foreign currency futures contracts from financial institutions to minimize the risk caused by foreign currency fluctuation on its foreign currency receivables and payables. Futures are traded on Kazakhstan Stock Exchange and represent commitments to purchase or sell a particular foreign currency at a future date and at a specific price. At September 30, 2017, the Company had foreign currency contracts outstanding that had a notional amount of $25,000. All gains and losses on foreign currency contracts were realized during six months ended September 30, 2017 and are included in net gain on derivative in the consolidated statements of income. The contracts have varying maturities of less than one year. Functional currency Management has adopted ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters as it pertains to its foreign currency translation. The Company’s functional currencies are the Russian ruble and Kazakhstani tenge, and its reporting currency is the US dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in revenue. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are generally comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents include securities received under agreement to repurchase which are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. Securities reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements A reverse repurchase agreement is a transaction in which the Company purchases financial instruments from a seller, typically in exchange for cash, and simultaneously enters into an agreement to resell the same or substantially the same financial instruments to the seller for an amount equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged plus interest at a future date. Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the contractual amount for which the securities will be resold, including accrued interest. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which the Company sells financial instruments to another party, typically in exchange for cash, and simultaneously enters into an agreement to reacquire the same or substantially the same financial instruments from the buyer for an amount equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged plus interest at a future date. These agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. Financial instruments purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded in the financial statements as cash placed on deposit collateralized by securities and are classified within cash and cash equivalents. Financial instruments transferred under repurchase agreements are retained in the financial statements and are classified within trading securities and consideration received under these agreements is recorded as collateralized deposits received under repurchase agreements and classified within securities repurchase agreement obligations. The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions to, among other things, acquire securities to cover short positions and settle other securities obligations, to accommodate customers’ needs and to finance its inventory positions. The Company enters into these transactions in accordance with normal market practice. Under standard terms for repurchase transactions, the recipient of collateral has the right to sell or repledge the collateral, subject to returning equivalent securities on settlement of the transaction. Investments available-for-sale Financial assets categorized as available-for-sale (“AFS”) are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held to maturity investments or (c) trading securities. Listed shares and listed redeemable notes held by the Company that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value. The Company has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but that are also classified as investments AFS and stated at fair value (because Company management considers that fair value can be reliably measured). Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve, with the exception of other-than-temporary impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. Trading securities Financial assets are classified as trading securities if the financial asset has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Trading securities are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in revenue. Changes in fair value are recognized in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income and included in 'net gain/(loss) on trading securities'. Interest earned and dividend income are recognized in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income and included in 'interest income', according to the terms of the contract and when the right to receive the payment has been established. Investments in nonconsolidated managed funds are accounted for at fair value based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of the funds provided by the fund managers with gains or losses included in net gain on trading securities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income. Debt securities issued Debt securities issued are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received, less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, amounts due are stated at amortized cost and any difference between net proceeds and the redemption value is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. If the Company purchases its own debt, it is removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the consideration paid is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income. Brokerage and other receivables Brokerage and other receivables comprise commissions and receivables related to the securities brokerage and banking activity of the Company. At initial recognition, brokerage and other receivables are recognized at fair value. Subsequently, brokerage and other receivables are carried at cost net of any allowance for impairment losses. Impairment of long lived assets In accordance with the accounting guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the fair value from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. As of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had not recorded any charges for impairment of long-lived assets. Impairment of goodwill As of September 30, 2017, goodwill recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $953. The Company performs an impairment review at least annually, unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, step two must be performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. In its annual goodwill impairment test, the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit based on the income approach (also known as the discounted cash flow method) and as a result of the test the fair value of the Company’s goodwill exceeded the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Income taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Current income tax expenses are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years based on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income. The Company will include interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income in the provision for income taxes. As of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Financial instruments Financial instruments are carried at fair value as described below. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value is the current bid price for financial assets, current ask price for financial liabilities and the average of current bid and ask prices when the Company is both in short and long positions for the financial instrument. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange or other institution and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. Leases Rent payable under operating leases is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Recent accounting pronouncements In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarity in order to reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260)-Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480)-Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”. This ASU addresses narrow issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying US GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The amendments in Part I of this update that relate to liability or equity classification of financial instruments (or embedded features) affect all entities that issue financial instruments (for example, warrants or convertible instruments) that include down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this ASU No. 2017-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this ASU No. 2017-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The amendments in this update apply to any entity that elects to apply hedge accounting in accordance with current GAAP. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. |

Of the 3,900,000 shares awarded pursuant to the restricted stock grant awards, 1,200,000 shares are subject to two-year vesting conditions and 2,700,000 shares are subject to three-year vesting conditions. All of the nonqualified stock options are subject to three-year vesting conditions. On October 25, 2017, Mr. Turlov made a capital contribution of $130 to the Company. At the time this contribution was made, Mr. Turlov was the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the board, and majority shareholder of the Company.

Receipt of CySEC approval was the final condition necessary to close the acquisition of Freedom CY and the parties closed the acquisition of Freedom CY on November 10, 2017. In exchange for his 100% equity interest in Freedom CY and the securities brokerage and financial services business conducted by it in Cyprus, Mr Turlov was issued 12,758,011 shares of Company common stock at the closing of the acquisition and Freedom CY became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On November 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange and Acquisition Agreement, dated November 1, 2017, with BusinessTrain, Ltd., to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interest of LLC Freedom Finance, (formerly known as FC Ukranet, LLC), a Ukranian limited liability company (“Freedom UA”) and the securities brokerage business conducted by it in Ukraine.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies | |
Accounting principles | The Company’s accounting policies and accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). These financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. |
Basis of presentation | The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements present the consolidated accounts of FRHC, FFIN, Freedom RU, Freedom KZ, Freedom 24, FFIN Bank and KZ Branch. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 30, 2017. The condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2017, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements not included herein. Operating results for the six-month period ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2018. |
Use of estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Revenue and expense recognition | The Company earns interest and noninterest income from its proprietary trading accounts from various sources, including: ● Securities, derivatives and foreign exchange activities; ● Reverse repurchase agreements; and ● Bank deposits. Revenue earned on interest-earning assets, including unearned income and the amortization/ accretion of premiums or discounts recognized on debt securities, bank deposits and loans issued is recognized based on the constant effective yield of the financial instrument or based on other applicable accounting guidance. Gains and losses on the sale of securities and certain derivatives are recognized on a trade-date basis. The Company earns fees and commissions from its customers from: ● Providing brokerage services; ● Providing banking services (money transfers, foreign exchange operations and other); and ● Agency fees. The Company also earns revenues from investment banking, underwriting, market making, and bondholders’ representation services. Service charges on brokerage, banking, agency, investment banking and market making services, are recognized when earned. Brokerage fees are recognized on a trade-date basis. The Company recognizes revenue when four basic criteria have been met: ● Existence of persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; ● Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; ● The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and ● Collectability is reasonably assured. |
Derivative financial instruments | In the normal course of business, the Company invests in various derivative financial contracts including futures. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. The fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices or pricing models that take into account the current market and contractual prices of the underlying instruments and other factors. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when it is negative. Derivatives are included in assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company purchases foreign currency futures contracts from financial institutions to minimize the risk caused by foreign currency fluctuation on its foreign currency receivables and payables. Futures are traded on Kazakhstan Stock Exchange and represent commitments to purchase or sell a particular foreign currency at a future date and at a specific price. At September 30, 2017, the Company had foreign currency contracts outstanding that had a notional amount of $25,000. All gains and losses on foreign currency contracts were realized during six months ended September 30, 2017 and are included in net gain on derivative in the consolidated statements of income. The contracts have varying maturities of less than one year. |
Functional currency | Management has adopted ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters as it pertains to its foreign currency translation. The Company’s functional currencies are the Russian ruble and Kazakhstani tenge, and its reporting currency is the US dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in revenue. |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents are generally comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents include securities received under agreement to repurchase which are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. |
Securities reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements | A reverse repurchase agreement is a transaction in which the Company purchases financial instruments from a seller, typically in exchange for cash, and simultaneously enters into an agreement to resell the same or substantially the same financial instruments to the seller for an amount equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged plus interest at a future date. Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the contractual amount for which the securities will be resold, including accrued interest. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which the Company sells financial instruments to another party, typically in exchange for cash, and simultaneously enters into an agreement to reacquire the same or substantially the same financial instruments from the buyer for an amount equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged plus interest at a future date. These agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. Financial instruments purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded in the financial statements as cash placed on deposit collateralized by securities and are classified within cash and cash equivalents. Financial instruments transferred under repurchase agreements are retained in the financial statements and are classified within trading securities and consideration received under these agreements is recorded as collateralized deposits received under repurchase agreements and classified within securities repurchase agreement obligations. The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions to, among other things, acquire securities to cover short positions and settle other securities obligations, to accommodate customers’ needs and to finance its inventory positions. The Company enters into these transactions in accordance with normal market practice. Under standard terms for repurchase transactions, the recipient of collateral has the right to sell or repledge the collateral, subject to returning equivalent securities on settlement of the transaction. |
Investments available-for-sale | Financial assets categorized as available-for-sale (“AFS”) are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held to maturity investments or (c) trading securities. Listed shares and listed redeemable notes held by the Company that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value. The Company has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but that are also classified as investments AFS and stated at fair value (because Company management considers that fair value can be reliably measured). Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve, with the exception of other-than-temporary impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. |
Trading securities | Financial assets are classified as trading securities if the financial asset has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Trading securities are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in revenue. Changes in fair value are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income and included in 'net gain/(loss) on trading securities'. Interest earned and dividend income are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income and included in 'interest income', according to the terms of the contract and when the right to receive the payment has been established. Investments in nonconsolidated managed funds are accounted for at fair value based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of the funds provided by the fund managers with gains or losses included in net gain on trading securities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income. |
Debt securities issued | Debt securities issued are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received, less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, amounts due are stated at amortized cost and any difference between net proceeds and the redemption value is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. If the Company purchases its own debt, it is removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the consideration paid is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income. |
Brokerage and other receivables | Brokerage and other receivables comprise commissions and receivables related to the securities brokerage and banking activity of the Company. At initial recognition, brokerage and other receivables are recognized at fair value. Subsequently, brokerage and other receivables are carried at cost net of any allowance for impairment losses. |
Impairment of long lived assets | In accordance with the accounting guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the fair value from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. As of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had not recorded any charges for impairment of long-lived assets. |
Impairment of goodwill | As of September 30, 2017, goodwill recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $953. The Company performs an impairment review at least annually, unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, step two must be performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. In its annual goodwill impairment test, the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit based on the income approach (also known as the discounted cash flow method) and as a result of the test the fair value of the Company’s goodwill exceeded the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill. |
Income taxes | The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Current income tax expenses are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years based on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income. The Company will include interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income in the provision for income taxes. As of September 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. |
Financial instruments | Financial instruments are carried at fair value as described below. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value is the current bid price for financial assets, current ask price for financial liabilities and the average of current bid and ask prices when the Company is both in short and long positions for the financial instrument. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange or other institution and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. |
Leases | Rent payable under operating leases is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarity in order to reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260)-Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480)-Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”. This ASU addresses narrow issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying US GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The amendments in Part I of this update that relate to liability or equity classification of financial instruments (or embedded features) affect all entities that issue financial instruments (for example, warrants or convertible instruments) that include down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this ASU No. 2017-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this ASU No. 2017-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The amendments in this update apply to any entity that elects to apply hedge accounting in accordance with current GAAP. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. |
