During the year under review, your company witnessed significant
structural changes in alignment with its long-term strategic vision of streamlining
business operations and strengthening focus across business verticals. These
transformations are expected to enhance operational efficiency, regulatory alignment, and
value creation for all stakeholders.
Pursuant to the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) order
dated October 22, 2024, Srajan Capital Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary and a registered
Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC), was merged into its holding company, CP Capital
Limited (erstwhile Career Point Limited). This merger marked the consolidation of the NBFC
operations under a single umbrella, aimed at simplifying the group structure and
leveraging synergies across the financial services domain.
The said NCLT order dated October 22, 2024, also sanctioned a composite
scheme of arrangement involving:
Merger of Srajan Capital Limited (Transferor Company) into CP Capital
Limited (erstwhile Career Point Limited) (Transferee Company/Demerged Company), and
Demerger of the Education Business of CP Capital Limited (erstwhile
Career Point Limited) into Career Point Edutech Limited (Resulting Company).
The scheme became effective on April 1, 2025, with the appointed date
being April 1, 2023. As a result of this restructuring:
CP Capital Limited has become a focused financial services and
investment entity.
The education business has been ring-fenced under a separate legal
entity, Career Point Edutech Limited, enabling sharper strategic and operational focus in
both education and finance domains.
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31,
2025, have been restated as per the approved Scheme of Arrangement, with effect from the
appointed date of April 1, 2023. Accordingly:
The financials reflect the absorption of Srajan Capital's
financials into CP capital Limited (erstwhile Career Point Limited).
The demerger adjustments for the education business have been accounted
for in accordance with applicable accounting standards and regulatory guidance.
The comparative figures for the previous year have been restated to
provide a consistent and comparable financial presentation.
These changes have resulted in a reclassification of segment revenue,
expenses, assets, and liabilities, clearly separating financial services from educational
operations in accordance with the applicable lndian Accounting Standards (lnd AS).
Post-restructuring, CP Capital Limited is well-positioned to leverage
its sharpened strategic focus in financial services. With the NBFC license now operational
through CP capital Limited, the Company aims to:
Expand lending operations in niche segments.
Enhance technology integration for scalable NBFC operations.
Pursue growth through inorganic and organic initiatives in financial
and allied sectors.
The demerger of the education business is expected to foster
independent growth trajectories for both education and finance domains under their
respective entities, allowing for better governance, agility, and sector-specific capital
allocation.

Financial Company (NBFC) pursuant to the Certificate of Registration No. N-06.00629 dated
