2) Significant Accounting Policies

a) Basis of brparation

These financial statements have been brpared to comply with the in all material aspects with the Accounting Standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and referred to Sec 129 & 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, of India. The accounting policies adopted in the brparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the brvious year.

b) Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements of the subsidiary companies used for the publishing of the consolidated results are drawn up to the same reporting date as of the Company.

The consolidated financial statements have been brpared on the following basis:

i. The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies have been combined on the line by line basis by adding together like item of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Inter—Company balances and transactions and unrealized profits or losses have been fully eliminated.

ii. The excess of cost to the Parent Company of its investments in subsidiary companies over its share of the equity of the subsidiary companies at the dates on which the investment in subsidiary companies are made, is recognized as 'Goodwill' being an asset in the consolidated financial statements. Alternatively, where the share of equity in the subsidiary companies as on the date of investment is in excess of cost of investment of the Company, it is recognized as 'Capital Reserve' and shown under the head 'Reserves and Surplus', in the consolidated financial statements.

iii. Minority interest in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries consists of the amount of the equity attributable to the minority shareholders at the dates on which investments are made by the Company in the subsidiary companies and further movements in their share in the equity, subsequent to the dates of investments.

iv. Interest in a jointly controlled entity is reported using proportionate consolidation.

c) Use of estimates

The brparation of financial statements requires the management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to the contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the year. Examples of such estimates include provisions for doubtful debts, employee benefits, provision for income taxes, accounting for contract costs expected to be incurred to complete software development and the useful l ives of debrciable fixed assets.

d) Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated debrciation. Costs include all expenses incurred to bring the assets to its brsent location and condition. Subsequent expenditure related to fixed assets is capitalized only if such expenditure results in an increase in the future benefits from such assets beyond its brviously assessed standard of performance.

e) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises its development cost/purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use and net of any trade discounts and rebates. Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset after its purchase / completion is recognised as an expense when incurred unless it is probable that such expenditure will enable the asset to generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standards of performance and such expenditure can be measured and attributed to the asset reliably, in which case such expenditure is added to the cost of the asset.

f) Debrciation and amortization

Debrciation has been provided based on estimated useful life assigned to each asset in accordance with Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013:

Debrciation is charged only from the date the asset concerned is put to use by the Company. Intangible assets are amortized over the estimate useful life.

The debrciation has been charged using straight line Method over the estimated life of assets of three to seven years in case of Allied Digital Services LLC.

a) Leases

Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor, are recognized as operating leases. Lease rentals under operating leases are recognised in the profit and loss account on pro—rata basis over the period of the lease.

b) Impairment

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of the assets exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss, if any, is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. Reversal of impairment losses recognised in the prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the assets no longer exist or have decreased.

c) Investments

Investments, which are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investments are made, are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long—term investments.

Investments are recorded at cost on the date of purchase, which includes acquisition charges such as brokerage, stamp duty, taxes, etc. Current Investments are tested at lower of cost and net realisable value. Long term investments are stated at cost after deducting provisions made, if any, for other than temporary diminution in the value.

Profit or Loss on sale of Investments is determined on specific identification basis.

The Actuarial Gains or Losses are charged to the Profit and Loss Account for the period in which they occur.

Revenues from contracts priced on a time and material basis are recognised when services are rendered and related costs are incurred.

Revenues from maintenance contracts are recognised on pro—rata basis over the period of the contract.

Service revenue is considered on acceptance of the contract and is accrued over the period of the contract, net of all taxes, local levies and other discounts & rebates.

Interest income is accounted on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate. Dividends income is accounted when the right to receive it is established.

f) Taxation

Tax expense comprises of current and deferred tax.

Provision for current tax is made on the basis of estimated taxable income of the current accounting year in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.

The deferred tax for timing differences between the book and tax profits for the year is accounted for, using the tax rates and laws that have been substantively enacted as of the Balance Sheet date. Deferred tax assets arising from timing differences are recognised to the extent there is reasonable certainty that these would be realised in future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date. The Company writes down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realised. Any such write—down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.

In case of unabsorbed losses and unabsorbed debrciation, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profit. At each Balance Sheet date the Company reassesses the unrecognised deferred tax assets.

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the ICAI, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the Statement of Profit and Loss and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each Balance Sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.

g) Foreign Currency Transactions

The transactions in foreign currencies on revenue accounts are stated at the rate of exchange brvailing on the date of transaction. The difference on account of fluctuation in the rate of exchange brvailing on the date of transaction and the date of realization is treated as revenue / expenditure.

Differences on translation of Current Assets and Current Liabilities remaining unsettled at the year end are recognized in the Profit and Loss Account except those relating to acquisition of fixed assets which are adjusted in the cost of the assets.

h) Employee Stock Option Scheme

In accordance with the Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme Guidelines, 1999 issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI"), the Company is following the Intrinsic Value Method of ESOP cost whereby the excess of Fair Market Value of the shares of the Company one day prior to the date of issue of the shares over the price at which they are issued is recognised as employee compensation cost. This cost is amortized on straight-line basis over the period of vesting of the Option.

However, during the year there were no Options exercised and vested hence no expenses have been provided on account of Employee Stock Options Cost (Previous Year: Nil).

i) Inventories

Inventories are carried at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first in first out basis. Purchased goods in transit are carried at cost. Stores and spare parts are carried at cost less provision for obsolescence.

(ii) Amounts extended to wholly or partially owned subsidiaries Company has been shown under the head of investment as the same is long term in nature.

2) MAT Credit Entitlement

Hence MAT credit entitlement of Rs.736.34 Lacs pertaining upto F.Y. 2014-15 (Previous year Rs.696.34 Lacs) has been recognized for the year ended 31st March 2015.

3) Current Liabilities and Provisions

In the opinion of the Board, the current liabilities are approximately at the fair value in the Balance Sheet. Balances of sundry creditors are subject to confirmation and reconciliation.

The Company creates a provision when there is a brsent obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The company has received Notices from the MVAT Department for the disallowance of Input Credit on purchases made from certain registered dealers in Maharashtra. The company has contested the said claim of the MVAT Department but the quantum of the proposed disallowance of Input Credit has not been worked out by the company and hence cannot be quantified for provision.

The company has not deposited Rs.264.68 Lacs towards Service Tax Liability and has not filed their return of Service Tax for the year under consideration till the date of signing of this Audit Report.

4) Quantitative Information

Considering the nature of business of the company, it is not practically possible to give quantitative information in the absence of common exbrssible unit. Hence the value of the Inventory for the Balance Sheet purpose has been take as certified by the Management.
