  • Net lossat Rs. 30.2

Consolidated

  • Revenue atRs. 3168.1
  • Net Loss at Rs. 136.5

The above results do show a drop in performance.  The adverse results are mainly due to restructuring cost provisions that we have had to make in our Joint venture, TUI Infotec Gmbh coupled with excess capacity in anticipation of revenue growth and a challenging foreign exchange environment in the International services business.  In the domestic business segment, realigning our product portfolio and an adverse tax and regulatory environment surrounding this business has contributed to the drop in margins. 

 

The Company has made significant progress in addressing the above issue and is poised for a sustainable performance in 2013.
