However, the slow down of the world economy has considerably tapered off the growth momentum in almost all the sectors, including but limited to IT Sector, on account of rising inflation, depreciating rupee and higher interest costs. General stress in the Indian economy and an extremely tight liquidity environment since 2012-2013 had also made it difficult for IT Companies like us to sustain and achieve the desired targets.

The company was no able to service its debt interest liabilities on time. The delayed receipt of payments from the customers caused severe liquidity crunch and shortage of working capital. In spite of providing the best in class service in the industry it became difficult for the company to maintain the financial discipline which resulted in irregularities in our accounts with banks and delayed payments of statutory liabilities.
The company declared a loss of Rs. 199.98 Cr in 2013-14 and further in the 9 months ended 31-12-15, the company has further suffered a loss of Rs. 30.77 Cr. The company has, however, put in plan a well worked out revival plan that envisages clearing/settling all liabilities, which include statutory liabilities, over the next few years. The fact that the company is moving towards revival is clearly evidenced from the figure of loss which is brought to approx 54 Cr on March 31st, 2015.Further this loss is almost entirely attributable to previous write offs and not indicative of the benefits of the various structural and operational changes that have been and are being put into place. The company is in negotiations with all lenders to arrive at an amicable settlement and is also in advanced stages to raise capital, as per its revival plan, to settle these debts.
There are certain demands from the income tax department, pertaining to different financial years, that the company and its tax consultants feel are unjustified and bad in law. The company has filed the appropriate appeals and intends to fight the same to a positive conclusion. However, in the interim these unjustified demands have further stressed the cash position of the company.
The company defaulted in payment of service tax also and Notices have been received from the Service Tax Department in this regard and the company has started depositing amounts every month as per the directions. The company has deposited service tax to the tune of about Rs 9, 79, 83,558/- since September 2013 to July 31st 2015 itself.
In respect of the TDS amount The company has deposited the complete TDS for the financial year 2013-2014 and has also deposited TDS for financial year 2014-15 and 2015- 16 as well.
The deposit of taxes and the part payment of fixed deposits and interest on fixed deposits has been possible due to the cost savings and efficiencies that have been generated out of the implementation of the company’s revival plan.
However, as already explained, the company remains severely short staffed and to that extent handicapped to be able to deal with other issues in a timely manner
As enumerated above, the losses the company suffered were mainly caused due to acute recession/down turn in the market and liquidity environment starting 2012-2013. The difficulties were further complicated by slow/non recovery of the dues from the customers. A large number of customers also refused to pay on account of some or the other product and service deficiency or non conformity with the order. Some of these were due to the service and implementation deficiencies caused by the acute shortage of manpower and the company has had to consequently book these and other non recoverable amounts as bad debts.
In the surroundings of the above issues in spite of having intentions to repay the Company was also unable to make repayment of fixed Deposits, in a timely manner.

The problems for the Company started in 2013 and the Company has suffered severe losses over the last 2-3 financial years on account of the prior downturn in the economy and the tight liquidity environment and highly geared debt position. The company was no able to service its debt interest liabilities on time. The delayed receipt of payments from the customers caused severe liquidity crunch and shortage of working capital.

The company has, however, put in plan a well worked out revival plan that envisages clearing/settling all liabilities, which include statutory liabilities, over the next few years.

There are certain demands from the income tax department, pertaining to different financial years, that the company and its tax consultants feel are unjustified and bad in law. The company has filed the appropriate appeals and intends to fight the same to a positive conclusion. However, in the interim these unjustified demands have further stressed the cash position of the company.

However, as already explained, the company remains severely short staffed and to that extent handicapped to be able to deal with other issues in a timely manner
