DALLAS / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2014 / Calpian, Inc. (OTC:CLPI) Chief Executive Officer, Harold Montgomery, announced that "with our increased ownership in Digital Payments Processing Limited in the first calendar quarter of 2014 to 69%, we will begin consolidating Money-On-Mobile’s financial results, rather than using the equity method of accounting, in our financial statements. Calpian Inc. Chief Financial Officer, Scott Shiao Arey explained, " As part of consolidating Money-On-Mobile’s financial results, we have elected to change our fiscal year end to March 31 to align our fiscal year end with Money-On-Mobile’s fiscal year end. March 31 was selected to achieve efficiencies with the Indian government filing and statutory audit regulations." The Board has approved the fiscal year change to March 31, effective as of March 31, 2014. Money-On-Mobile CEO Shashank Joshi concluded, “We’re very excited to be taking this next step in our relationship with Calpian.”
