1. Description of Business
1. Description of Business | 9 Months Ended |

Description Of Business | |
Description of Business | Overview Freedom Holding Corp. is a Nevada corporation (“FRHC”). 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, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and Cyprus 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. This acquisition included the acquisition of three wholly owned operating subsidiaries of Freedom RU, 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.” On November 1, 2017, FRHC received notification from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (“CySEC”) that it had granted final regulatory approval to allow Timur Turlov to transfer ownership of Freedom CY and the securities brokerage and financial services business conducted by it in Cyprus to FRHC. 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 FRHC common stock at the closing of the acquisition and Freedom CY became a wholly owned subsidiary of FRHC. On November 1, 2017, FRHC entered into a Share Exchange and Acquisition Agreement with BusinessTrain Ltd. to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interest of LLC Freedom Finance Ukraine, a Ukrainian limited liability company, formerly known as FC Ukranet LLC, (“Freedom UA”) and the securities brokerage business conducted by it in Ukraine in exchange for 387,700 shares of restricted common stock of FRHC. Completion of the acquisition required approval of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission of Ukraine, which was received on January 30, 2018. 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. We formed Freedom 24, as a startup to build and manage 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 and focuses on provided banking services to the customers of the Company’s subsidiaries. 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. Unless otherwise specifically indicated or as is otherwise contextually required, FRHC, FFIN, Freedom RU, Freedom KZ, FFIN Bank, Freedom CY, Freedom UA, Freedom 24 and KZ Branch are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”. |

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 9 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2017 | |
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, Freedom CY, Freedom UA 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 nine-month period ended December 31, 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 condensed 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 and also purchases foreign currency futures contracts for speculative purposes. Futures are traded on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange and represent commitments to purchase or sell a particular foreign currency at a future date and at a specific price. All gains and losses on foreign currency contracts were realized during nine months ended December 31, 2017 and are included in net gain on derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss). 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, Euro, Ukrainian hryvnia 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 reverse repurchase agreements 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. Financial instruments purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded in the financial statements as cash placed on deposit collateralized by securities and classified as cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. The Company retains the financial instruments sold under repurchase agreements and classifies them as trading securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The consideration received under repurchase agreements is classified as securities repurchase agreement obligations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. Available-for-sale securities 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/(Loss). 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/(Loss) 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/(Loss) 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/(Loss). 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 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. 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 December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had not recorded any charges for impairment of long-lived assets. Impairment of goodwill As of December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2017, goodwill recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $1,856 and $981, respectively. 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 determined the fair value of the Company’s goodwill exceeded the carrying amount of the Company’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 provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. bill commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”) was enacted, which significantly changes U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates, implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Tax Reform Act permanently reduces the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate, effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Reform Act also provided for a one-time deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and profits (“E&P”) through the year ended December 31, 2017. The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") provisions of the Tax Reform Act require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. The Company may be subject to incremental U.S. tax on GILTI income beginning in 2018, depending upon expense allocations and the applicable U.S. foreign tax credit rules. The Company has elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred, and therefore has not provided any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2017. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. The Company has considered the provisional tax impacts related to deemed repatriated earnings and the benefit for the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, on its consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2017. The final impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Reform Act. In accordance with SAB 118 the financial reporting impact of the Tax Reform Act will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018. 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 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. 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. 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. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2017-13 essentially delays the effective date of the revenue recognition and leases standards for a subset of public entities. A public business entity that otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business entity except for a requirement to include or the inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s filing with the SEC would be permitted to adopt (1) ASC Topic 606 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and (2) ASC Topic 842, Leases for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Such an entity would also be permitted to adopt ASC Topic 606 and ASC Topic 842 according to the public business entity effective dates. In November 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-14, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). A new Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) features amendments to select Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) paragraphs under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Issued as ASU No. 2017-14, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the standard amends the Accounting Standards Codification to incorporate the SEC guidance. |

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Turlov received a total of 24,465,024 shares of restricted common stock in exchange for his 100% interest in Freedom RU. On October 6, 2017, the Company awarded restricted stock grants totaling 3,900,000 shares of its common stock to 16 employees and awarded nonqualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 360,000 shares of its common stock to two employees. 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. The Company recorded stock based compensation expense for restricted stock grants and stock options in the amount of $792 during nine months ended December 31, 2017. As disclosed in Note 1 on November 10, 2017, FRHC issued 12,758,011 shares of restricted Company common stock in exchange for Mr. Turlov 100% equity interest in Freedom CY and Freedom CY became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As disclosed in Note 1, on November 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange and Acquisition Agreement and agreed to issue 387,700 shares of restricted common stock to BusinessTrain Ltd. to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Freedom UA.

Stock Based Compensation | |
Stock based compensation | As disclosed in Note 13, on October 6, 2017, the Company issued restricted stock awards totaling 3,900,000 shares of its common stock to 16 employees and awarded nonqualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 360,000 shares of its common stock at a strike price $1.98 per share to two employees. Shares of restricted stock have the same dividend and voting rights as common stock while options do not. All awards are issued at fair value of the underlying shares at the grant date. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, stock options covering a total of 360,000 shares of common stock were granted. No options were granted for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Total compensation expense related to options granted was $51 for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2017, there was total remaining compensation expense of $596 related to stock options, which will be recorded over a weighted average period of approximately 2.8 years. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017 a total of 3,900,000 restricted shares were awarded. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016 no restricted shares were awarded. The compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $741 during the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and $0 during the nine months ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2017, there was $7,447 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares of restricted stock granted. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. Stock-based compensation expense for the cost of the awards granted is based on the grant-date fair value. For stock option awards, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that would otherwise have a significant effect on the value of employee stock options granted but are not considered by the model. Accordingly, while management believes that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model provides a reasonable estimate of fair value, the model does not necessarily provide the best single measure of fair value for the Company's employee stock options. The following is a summary of stock option activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2017: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (In Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding, beginning of year - $ - - $ - Granted 360,000 1.98 2.76 1,577 Exercised - - - - Forfeited/cancelled/expired - - - - Outstanding, at December 31, 2017 360,000 $ 1.98 2.76 $ 1,577 Exercisable at December 31, 2017 - $ - - $ - The table below summarizes the activity for the Company's restricted stock outstanding during the nine months ended December 31, 2017: Shares Weighted Average Fair Value Outstanding, beginning of year - $ - Granted 3,900,000 8,190 Vested - - Forfeited/cancelled/expired - - Outstanding, at December 31, 2017 3,900,000 $ 8,190 |

Acquisition of Freedom CY The Company agreed to acquire Freedom CY from Mr. Turlov on November 23, 2015, subject to certain closing conditions, including receipt of all required regulatory approvals to transfer ownership of Freedom CY. As disclosed in Note 1, the final condition to closing was completed on November 1, 2017 and on November 10, 2017, the Company issued 12,758,011 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Turlov in exchange for his 100% equity interest in Freedom CY and the securities brokerage and financial services business conducted by it in Cyprus, and Freedom CY became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. |

2. Summary of Significant Acc24
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 9 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2017 | |
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, Freedom CY, Freedom UA 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 nine-month period ended December 31, 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 condensed 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 and also purchases foreign currency futures contracts for speculative purposes. Futures are traded on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange and represent commitments to purchase or sell a particular foreign currency at a future date and at a specific price. All gains and losses on foreign currency contracts were realized during nine months ended December 31, 2017 and are included in net gain on derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss). 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, Euro, Ukrainian hryvnia 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 reverse repurchase agreements 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. Financial instruments purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded in the financial statements as cash placed on deposit collateralized by securities and classified as cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. The Company retains the financial instruments sold under repurchase agreements and classifies them as trading securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The consideration received under repurchase agreements is classified as securities repurchase agreement obligations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. |
Available-for-sale securities | 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/(Loss). 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/(Loss) 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/(Loss) 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/(Loss). |
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 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. |
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 December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had not recorded any charges for impairment of long-lived assets. |
Impairment of goodwill | As of December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2017, goodwill recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $1,856 and $981, respectively. 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 determined the fair value of the Company’s goodwill exceeded the carrying amount of the Company’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 provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. bill commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”) was enacted, which significantly changes U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates, implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Tax Reform Act permanently reduces the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate, effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Reform Act also provided for a one-time deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and profits (“E&P”) through the year ended December 31, 2017. The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") provisions of the Tax Reform Act require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. The Company may be subject to incremental U.S. tax on GILTI income beginning in 2018, depending upon expense allocations and the applicable U.S. foreign tax credit rules. The Company has elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred, and therefore has not provided any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2017. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. The Company has considered the provisional tax impacts related to deemed repatriated earnings and the benefit for the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, on its consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2017. The final impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Reform Act. In accordance with SAB 118 the financial reporting impact of the Tax Reform Act will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018. |
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 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. 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. 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. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2017-13 essentially delays the effective date of the revenue recognition and leases standards for a subset of public entities. A public business entity that otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business entity except for a requirement to include or the inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s filing with the SEC would be permitted to adopt (1) ASC Topic 606 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and (2) ASC Topic 842, Leases for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Such an entity would also be permitted to adopt ASC Topic 606 and ASC Topic 842 according to the public business entity effective dates. In November 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-14, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). A new Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) features amendments to select Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) paragraphs under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Issued as ASU No. 2017-14, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the standard amends the Accounting Standards Codification to incorporate the SEC guidance. |
