Discussion as per Company:

In the Annual Report for FY 2014-15 the Company has mentioned that During FY 2014-15, the company has posted a muted

financial performance, both at the standalone and consolidated level. Net Loss at the consolidated level has increased from `

559.17 crores in the previous year to a net loss of ` 637.29 crores.

During the year under review, the Canadian subsidiary was sold by ICICI Bank Limited. Due to this there is steep reduction in

turnover. The turnover of the Canadian subsidiary for the accounting year 2013-14 was ` 478.84 Crores. Charges to the extent

of ` 174.07 crores, which constitutes 42.4% of the revenue from operations at standalone level, our loss after tax amounted to

` 628.41 crores as against the previous year loss of ` 437.91 crores.

This is principally due to four factors. (1) Increase in Depreciation/Amortization compared to the previous year’s 14.90%. (2)

Employee benefit expenses forms 36.40% of the operating revenue as against 51.80% in the previous year. (3) Project related

expenses stands at 45.40% on the revenue from operations compared to the previous year’s ratio of 37.40%. (4) The cost

escalation 8 on Operations and other expense rose to 20.10% on operating revenue compared to the previous year’s recorded

ratio of 30.40%. This is primarily due to the provision of doubtful debts amount on account receivables amounting to ` 468.94

crores. The net worth of the company at the standalone level has decreased to ` -115.43 crores from ` 512.98 crores and the

group net worth has decreased to ` -181.33 crores from ` 411.09 crores.

Problems Faced by the Company

1. Outstanding debts The company along with its subsidiaries is presently engulfed in debts and accounts payable. Most of the

problems stem from the fact that the company is not in a position to address its liabilities at this present juncture.

Restructuring all possible debts is the need of the hour.

2. Legal battles faced by the company The company is caught in legal tangles in more than one sphere. Brief outline is as

follows. - Virtually every financial institution has filed a case against the company in DRT and other forums.

- Unsecured loan creditors have filed cases against the Company.

- Based on the application filed by IFIN the company is placed under provisional winding up by the Honorable High Court of

Madras. Seeing the merit in the company’s functioning, the Honorable Division Bench of High Court of Madras deemed it fit

not to disrupt the functioning of the company, but to seek approval from the Office of the Official Liquidator, Chennai on

matters relating to administration and finance.

- There is a SEBI investigation pending against the promoters and a few others.

3. Credibility and Trust Deficit in the eyes of the stakeholders, the problems faced by the company were probably much

concerning to them and this resulted in substantial impact on the business performance. This saw the company’s sales dipping

substantially to ` 370 crores from the peak level of ` 2500 crores. The exodus of employees and customers eroded both the

top line and bottom line.

AUDIT QUALIFICATIONS

Audit Qualifications in last 3 years: The Auditors have not given any qualified opinion in their Report. However, they have

drawn attention to the following in Annual report for FY 2013-14 and FY 2014-15;

1) non-compliance of Section 205 A of the companies Act, 2013 in respect of unpaid dividend for the financial year 2011-12 of `

14.09 crores. (including promoters share) has not been deposited in any scheduled bank as mentioned in para 2.37 of Notes on

accounts.

2) Form 2 has not been filed for the allotment of shares during the year to the tune of 131.36 crores in respect of GDR issue

(refer notes Para 2).

3) The Auditors are not satisfied with the evidence providing during the year regarding GDR Shares’ receipts and utilization.

4) The minutes books of the company were not available for our verification.

Management Response: The Company did not respond to the matters raised/pointed out by the Auditors in their Audit

Report.

However, in Annual Report for FY 2013-14, the Directors have Reply to the Auditor’s Remarks as follows;

A substantial loss of ₹ 200 Crores due to appreciation of US Dollar Vs the Indian rupee created shrinkage in working capital

limits as the Loans were in dollar denomination but limit was set in INR. Further the company couldn’t tie up additional

sanctioned working capital limit in the subsequent year creating a deficit of additional ₹ 130 crores. This happened during the

period when Zylog was in parallel investing in expansion plans across different regions most of which were highly capital

intensive in nature, but had the capability to provide solid& consistent returns after couple of years. Naturally the holding

capacity of the company got deteriorated due to the losses suffered during the period & hence it had to abandon some plans

mid-way which created further losses.

This mismatch in cash flow resulted in slippage in pay roll processing, vendor payment & payments related to statutory dues like

Dividend, TDS etc. The management is taking several measures on the operational front, lots of optimization/consolidation

measures was put across all projects across the globe to manage and improve the cash flow, the results of which will naturally

take some time to fructify but the management is confident of steering the company back on track in another few quarters.

The Company shall take necessary initiative to file Form-2 for the allotment of shares during the year to the tune of ₹ 131.36

crores in respect of GDR issue.

The Board of Directors of the Company wish to state that the Company has duly obtained all the necessary approvals for

issuance of GDR and has all sufficient evidences towards the utilization of funds. The Company shall take all necessary initiatives

to produce all the evidences to the satisfaction of the Auditors.

The Board of Directors of the Company has duly met and has minuted the events of the Meetings of the Company. The

Company shall make necessary arrangements to produce the copy of the minutes for the verification of the Auditors.
