DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Dear Shareholders,

I. Your Directors are happy to present Thirty Second Annual Report and the Financial Results for the year ended on 31st March, 2015.

II. Management Discussion & Analysis (M D &A):

Industry Structure and developments:

India’s IT industry can be divided into five main components, viz. Software Products, IT services, Engineering and R&D services, ITES/BPO (IT-enabled services/Business Process Outsourcing) and Hardware. Export revenues, primarily on project based IT Services continue to drive growth with IT Services. This accounts for 54.2% of total revenues followed by BPO and Engineering services at 19.5%, Software Products at 15.3% and hardware at 11%. Multi-year annuity based outsourcing agreements continue to increase at a steady rate.

On an overview the companies’ had a good year in terms of financial performance, driven by factors like such as the improvement in the quality of service offerings, stable pricing environment and the depreciation of the Indian rupee. Indian IT firms continue to move up the value chain by providing more end-to-end solutions and engaging more closely with clients. They are also increasingly relying on internal cost optimization measures to improve profitability.

Opportunities and Threats:

Retention of labour has always been the most important factor in all IT companies and being in niche markets increases the risk.

Increasing competition, pressure on billing rates of traditional services and increasing commoditization of lower-end services are among the key reasons forcing the Indian software industry to make a fast move up in the software value chain. The companies are now providing higher value-added services like consulting, product development, R&D as well as new digital technologies like social media, mobility, analytics, and cloud computing (SMAC).

The new Indian government is emphasizing on better technology enabled delivery mechanisms for a multitude of government projects. Further, with the new digital India initiative being launched, the domestic market for software services looks forward to a bright future.

Outlook:

With the evolution of our new products, we expect the market to accept our products more readily and with online advertising, which we have introduced, the response has been up to the mark. Furthermore, the strategic alliances entered last year with Computer Age Management (CAMS), Chennai for providing software services that are required for KYC services for their client and UID Authority of India are working as per the expectations of the Company. We continue to develop new products and increasing our marketing strength.

Risk and Concerns:

· The first major problem developed in recent times subject to added different legal laws and norms.

· Another major problem the need to develop the optimum mix of employees. A big dilemma is to get the balance correct in terms of recruitment.

Internal Control systems and Adequacy:

The Company has a proper and adequate system of internal controls. This ensures that all transactions are authorized, recorded and reported correctly, and assets are safeguarded and protected against loss from unauthorized use or disposition. In addition there are operational controls and fraud risk controls, covering the entire spectrum of internal financial controls. The Company has an Internal Control System, commensurate with the size, scale and complexity of its operations.

Discussion on financial performance with respect to operational performance:

During the year under review, your Company made a Turnover of Rs. 246.47 Lakhs as against Rs. 85.23 Lakhs and incurred a profit of Rs. 32.07 Lakhs as against a profit of Rs. 13.82 Lakhs for the previous year, the Company anticipates more profits in the coming years.
