HCL Infosystems Ltd Management Discussions

Focus on reduction of outstanding debt and losses

In the FY 23, the Company continued to focus on its initiatives such as monetization of properties, realization of tax refunds in order to reduce the debt and losses. As a result, the Company prepaid entire external loans, which helped to reduce the finance cost.

In FY 22, we reported revenue from continuing operations of Rs. 69.44 Crores while in FY23 our revenue decreased to

Rs. 31.41 Crores.

Businesses Performance & Highlights

For the purpose of financial reporting, the businesses have been arranged as per the following primary business categories:

Business Category	Lines of Business
Distribution Business	Residual annual maintenance contracts related to Enterprise Distribution Customers
System Integration and Solutions	System Integration projects

The numbers provide a line of business-wise view based on management accounts and are not as per reported segments.

System Integration (SI) & Solutions Business

The SI and Solutions business reported revenue of Rs. 25.74 Crores in FY23 with a focus on project execution and recovery of outstanding receivables from customers. During the financial year, 5 (five) SI projects have come to a close.

Though the business was able to realise Rs. 34.38 Crores from customers, our System Integration and Solutions business continued to face delays in customer acceptance and sign-offs on project completion from certain customers resulting in delays in recovering receivables. Over time the number of contracts that are coming to closure have increased without any considerable progress on release of money against receivables by customers.

As a result, the Company has initiated arbitration proceedings against a number of customers as per the terms of the contracts with them in an effort to obtain final sign-offs and recovery of overdue receivables. Due to multiple legal and arbitration proceedings and legacy issues, significant effort and cost are being incurred on compliance, legal and legacy matters. Hence our legal cost has increased considerably, and other operational costs including manpower costs continue to remain at the existing level for these contracts, thereby incurring higher costs which are increasing our operational losses as reflected in the financials.

During the year, Rs. 1.80 Crores has been provided on account of such receivables.

Distribution Business

In FY23, the Distribution business reported a revenue of

Rs. 5.67 Crores. As stated earlier, as per the direction of the Board, the Distribution business has been scaled down. However, certain maintenance contracts of enterprise distribution customers are still under execution.

Other Updates

In FY 21, the Board and the shareholders of the company had taken a strategic decision to divest the entire shareholding in HCL Infotech Ltd to Novezo Consulting Pvt. Ltd, (Novezo) after certain carve outs. However, despite rigorous and best efforts for closure of the deal, the Conditions Precedents were not fulfilled even after lapse of a considerable period from the date of execution of the Share Purchase Agreement.

The objective and purpose of the transaction completely changed and given that the changed circumstances created a fundamentally different situation which the Parties never envisaged or agreed to in the first place, the Share Purchase Agreement got frustrated as the object and purpose of executing the Share Purchase Agreement cannot be met and has undergone a fundamental change beyond the contemplation of the parties. Accordingly, the Company, in March 2023, issued a letter intimating Novezo that the Share Purchase Agreement has been frustrated. HCL Infotech Limited will continue to be operated in the ordinary course of business.

The Company had initiated a scheme of amalgamation of Digilife Distribution and Marketing Services Limited (DDMS) and HCL Learning Limited (Learning), wholly owned subsidiaries, with and into HCL Infosystems Limited (HCLI). The rationale for this is to consolidate multiple entities into a single entity to simplify the corporate structure and reduce administrative costs. The Scheme of Amalgamation has been approved by the Honble National Company Law Tribunal.

During the FY 23, the Company has sold 4 properties for a total consideration of Rs. 18.73 Crores.

As at March 31, 2023, the Group has accumulated losses and its net worth has been fully eroded, the Groups current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 470.41 crores for the period ended March 31, 2023 (March 31, 2022 - Rs. 411.70 crores). The losses are primarily as a result of delayed receipts on certain system integration contracts, historical low margin contracts, large litigations and their costs which are at different stages of progression. The management of the Company, is pursuing strategies which include scale down of loss-making businesses like scaling down of the distribution business, sale of certain non-core properties and reduction in outstanding debts. To ensure the necessary

4 financial support for its operations, the Board of Directors of HCL Corporation Private Limited has approved support in the form of corporate guarantees to banks of Rs. 330.35 crores and interest free unsecured loans of Rs. 355.00 crores to the Company out of total authorized limit of Rs. 1500.00 crores. This had been approved by the shareholders of the Company, vide their resolution dated September 14, 2017. Considering the above support, the Companys management and the Board of Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to realise its assets and discharge its contractual obligations and liabilities as they fall due in the near future in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated financial results have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Despite all these efforts to reduce debt & losses, the Company continues to face very challenging financial conditions . As a consequence, the Company cannot invest in any new businesses or in expanding its current operations and consequently, the business of the Company will continue to contract for the foreseeable future.

COVID – 19 Impact

In evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on its ability to continue as a going concern and the possible impact on its financial position, the management has assessed the impact of macro-economic conditions on its business and the carrying value of its major assets comprising of property, plant and equipment (PPE), trade receivables and other balances recoverable. In this regard, the management has carefully considered the circumstances and risk exposures arising from the COVID-19 situation for developing the estimates based on available information in its assessment of the impact thereof on its financial reporting.

Based on the aforesaid assessment, management believes that the Group will continue as a going concern and will be able to meet all of its obligations as well as recover the carrying amount of its aforesaid assets as of March 31, 2023. The impact assessment of COVID-19 is a continuing process given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration and actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The Group will continue to monitor any material changes to future economic conditions and any significant impact of these changes would be recognised in the financial statements, as and when these material changes to economic conditions arise.
