Discussion as per Company:

During the FY 2014-15, the Company has drastically reduced its export business where the payments are delayed abnormally

and where the profit margins are low. During the year the Company has made an export turnover of ` 10.75 crores. The total

revenue of the Company from operations, for the year ended 31st March, 2015 was ` 18.41 crores, the total revenue of the

previous year was ` 106.55 crores. The gain on foreign exchange fluctuations accounts majorly for the difference. The

Company has written off receivables as bad debts which are pending and the Company has initiated legal proceedings to

recover the amount. The net loss booked for the year under review is ` 184.31 crores as compared to ` 73.87 crores during the

previous year.

During the FY 2013-14, the Company has achieved income of ` 118.79 crores for the year ended 31st March, 2014 on

standalone basis. After providing a sum of ` 196.95 crores for expenditure, provision for taxes and depreciation and

considering the prior period adjustment of ` 4.29 Crores, the Company has incurred a net loss of ` 74.13 crores for the year

ended 31st March, 2014 and in view of the loss incurred during the year no amount could be transferred to General Reserves.

There are no material changes and commitments affecting the financial position of the Company between 31st March, 2014

and the date of this report.

AUDIT QUALIFICATIONS

The Auditors have raised following qualifications in last three years:

Auditors qualifications in FY 2014-15.

“The Company is undergoing a problem in facing the going concern issue, here auditor mention events that may cast doubt

about going concern assumption as follows:

1) Company is facing difficulties in paying statutory dues such as service tax and TDS amount of ` 3.34 crores and ` 3.72 on

31.03.2015 out of which ` 1.72 and ` 3.31 outstanding for more than one year.

2) The Company Has Accumulated Losses and Its Net Worth Has Been Substantially Eroded, The Company Incurred a Net Loss

During the Current Year (` 178.33 Crores) And Previous Year (` 74.12 Crores) And, The Company’s Current Liabilities (` 119.64

Crores) Exceed Its Current Assets (` 10.25 Crores) As at The Balance Sheet Date. These Conditions, Indicate The Existence of a

Material Uncertainty That May Cast Significant Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as A Going Concern. However,

The Financial Statements of the Company Have Been Prepared On a Going Concern Basis.

3) Out of the Unsecured Advances Given to Staff & Employees, There Is Uncertainty About Recovery of ` 0.23 crores as There Is

No Recovery During the Year and These Are Outstanding for More Than a Year.

4) During the Year the Company Has Written Off ` 139.87Crores as Bad Debts Which Are Outstanding for More Than a Year and

The Management Is Not Confident of Realisation from Its Customers.”

Management Response:

“1) About facing difficulties in statutory dues company said that, cash flow from operations was better than previous year

because of the strategies adopted by the company to recover the company. The collateral securities given to the bank are

auctioned by the banks as the facilities availed from them are classified as Non-Performing Assets. The company is planning to

address the remaining dues to the government departments from the surplus cash left from the sale of properties after settling

the banks’ dues. The company has been paying salary and has paid in full to its existing employees.

2) The company has written off some of the debtor receipts which are pending for a very long time and are disputed by the

clients. Due to this, the company has been booking losses in the last two years. For this loss, the net worth has been eroded and

the current assets have come down drastically and the current liabilities have exceeded the current assets. However, the net

worth and the current assets are expected to improve in the coming years

3) The company has advanced this amount to one of its ex-employee for foreign travel. He did not settle the accounts for this

advance amount and the company owes his settlement amount. While doing his full and final settlement, the amount will get

accounted automatically.

4) The company has witnessed an unprecedented high employees’ attrition in the previous years due to the severe cash flow

strain the company was paying. Several employees engaged in the projects left abruptly without proper knowledge transfer.

Because of this, company could not continue some of the projects and this has created some gaps which company could not

resolve immediately. The customers have not only stopped payments for these projects but also stopped the payments to the

other projects where there are no issues. The company wrote off some of the export debtors but the company has initiated legal

actions against these clients to recover the dues which are rightfully receivable by the company.”

Auditors qualifications in FY 2013-14. (Similar qualification raised in FY 2012-13)

“A) Not able to express an opinion on the sundry debtors of ` 75.99 Crores outstanding over a period of one year.

B) The Branch Accounts of Acropetal USA are not audited and the financial are incorporated as unaudited.

C) The Company is not regular in depositing the undisputed statutory dues and repayments of loans to Banks.

Management Response:

A) Due to the high attrition in the financial year 2011-12, the Company could not deliver the projects on time. This has caused

serious concerns to the clients especially in the US and Middle East regions who has doubted our capability of delivering the

projects on time. Performance guarantee were insisted for the release of payments, which the Company could not provide and

this has resulted in unprecedented debtors receivables in the last two years. During the last financial year, the Company

undertook lot of measures to regain the customer confidence and employee satisfaction initiatives. These have certainly yielded

results and the customers are releasing payments to the extent of employee/consultants salary who are working in their

projects.

b) Acropetal Technologies Limited, USA is the Branch of the parent Company, Acropetal Technologies Limited in India. The

branch is taking care of the onsite activities and is working as an extended arm of the parent company. The accounting year for

this US subsidiary is January to December and the accounts are audited and tax returns are fi led by the CPA before the due

date. Since the parent company has the accounting period as April to March, the accounts related to April to December and

January to March are not separately audited as this branch is very small in financial size. They are consolidated with the parent

company as unaudited accounts for the financial year end reporting.

c) The Company has been facing working capital strain during the financial year. Due to this, the Company has defaulted some

of its commitments. However, the Company has taken some strategies to come out of the aberrations, as a result all the dues

would be addressed shortly.”

Response Comment

Frequency of Qualifications - The Auditors have raised qualifications in last

three years’ Annual reports.

Have the Auditors made any adverse remark in last 3 years? No -

Are the material accounts audited by the Principal Auditors? Yes -

Do the financial statements include material unaudited

financial statements? Yes

The consolidated financial statements contain

unaudited accounts of 3 subsidiaries. The

unaudited statements are material with

respect to the consolidated assets and

revenues of the Company. As a material part of

the consolidated financial statements of the

Company are unaudited, this raises concern

regarding the fairness of such financial

statements.
