22 Jan 2015 Evaluate

Dish TV India has reported results for third quarter ended December 31, 2014.

The company has reported a net loss of Rs 2.87 crore for the quarter under review as compared to a net loss of Rs 38.25 crore for the same quarter in the previous year. Total income of the company has increased 17.43% at Rs 729.25 crore for Q3FY15 as compared Rs 622.53 crore for the corresponding quarter previous year.

The life of the Consumer Premises Equipment (CPE) for the purposes of depreciation has been estimated by the management as five years, which as per the management, best represents the period of expected use, and is different from the life indicated by the Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. Upto March 31, 2012, in certain cases, the onetime advance contribution towards the CPEs in the form of rental was being recognized over a period of three years from the activation date.

However, such practice, with effect from April 01, 2012, was changed to five years in respect of CPEs activated on or after April 01, 2012. During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company amended its policy in respect of CPEs activated upto March 31, 2012 also in order to align the same with the CPEs installed thereafter. During the year ended March 31, 2014, the correction in the policy had resulted in reversal of excess revenue of Rs 12,930 lakh and excess provisions of license fee of Rs 1,293 lakh recognised upto March 31, 2013. This also resulted in revenue for the year ended March 31, 2014 being higher by Rs 3,702 lakh and license fee being higher by Rs 370 lakh. The above correction had resulted into the net loss for the year and for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 being higher by Rs 8,305 lakh. Since the correction was carried out during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the figures for the quarter and nine months period ended December 31, 2013 are not comparable.
