1. The past MD Mr. Man Mohan Gupta had fraudulently shifted the entire business of the company including its Intellectual Property, to his own entity, consequently there is no revenue from operations during the year. The Company is making efforts to get back this business.

2. The Company had increased the authorised capital from Rs 21 crores to Rs 70 crores during the FY 2010-2011. ROC fees of Rs. 55.97 lacs towards the same stands payable. No provision has been made for any interest or fines payable theron.

3. Statutory dues of Service Tax / TDS / Professional Tax aggregating to Rs. 1.91 crore are outstanding since F. Y. 2009-10; service tax returns have not been filed from F.Y. 2011-12 onwards. No provision has been made for interest /penalties payable on such default.

4. Company has not provided estimated credit loss on outstanding debtors as per IND AS-109 , since management is of the opinion , all the receivables are good and realiasable.

5. Company has not disclosed realisable value of investments of Rs. 1.47 Crore invested in unquoted non current investments hence we can not estimate the impairment in value of non current investment.

Report of the Statutory Auditor is annexed with the Annual Report, however, as regards qualifications made by the Auditors in their report your Directors states as under:-

1. The past MD Mr Man Mohan Gupta, had fraudulently shifted the entire business of the company including its Intellectual Property to the entities formed by him.

2. The Company has increased its authorised capital from Rs. 21 Crores to Rs. 70 Crores during the period from F.Y. 2010-11. However, due to financial constraints and technical problems the company could not file Form 5 with ROC for increase in its authorised share capital. With the advent of the Companies Act, 2013 which came into effect from 01st April, 2014, the schedule of fees applicable w.r.t. increase in Authorised capital has been revised and increased. The Schedule of fees as per the Companies Act, 2013 has been made applicable and payable on the increased authorised share capital which the Company had increased prior to the applicability of Companies Act, 2013. Therefore, the company had filed the writ petition in the Honble High Court of Delhi challenging the applicability of provisions prescribed under Para 3 of Table B under Registration of Offices and Fees Rules, 2014 vide diary no. 159963 dated 30/05/2016. The fees and Additional fees payable as per Companies Act, 1956 has already been provided for hence there is no further impact on the financials/ profitability of the company.

3. As regards Auditors observation that the Statutory dues of Rs. 1.91 crores are still payable, we hereby state that our Company has already provided for the amount payable towards Service Tax. Hence this liability will have no further impact on the profits/ losses of the company for the period under consideration. Further, the management of the company is making necessary efforts to arrange the funds required to repay the same.

4. As per management opinion debtors are fully realisable and no estimated credit loss on outstanding debtors is required.

5. As per management assessment of value of investment, no impairment provision on investment is required since there is no permanent diminution in value of investments.
