ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and financial performance and Cash Flow of the Company in accordance with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 (“the Act”) read with the General
thCircular 15/2013 dated 13 September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
The Company has not made the provision for interest on deposit of `13.97 Lacs as specified in Note no 3.7. Due to non provision of the said amount, deficit in Statement of Profit and Loss under Reserve and Surplus has been shown less and non-current liabilities have been shown less to this extent. This affects the accounting principles of accrual and consistency as per AS-1 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the said financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006. However, as per the information available there
are no amounts outstanding for a period beyond the stipulated period as specified under Micro, Small and
Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.
During the year the Company has internally generated software for its captive use for the various long
term projects received and also developed software for sale of its licenses. The cost of `50.72 Lacs
(Previous Year `75.73 Lacs) is capitalized and shown as Intangible assets under the Group Fixed Assets.

The Company’s significant leasing agreements are in respect of operating lease for office premises. These
leasing agreements are cancelable and renewable by mutual consent on mutually acceptable terms. The
aggregate lease rentals payable by the Company are charged to Statement of Profit and Loss as a rent
amounting to `39.00 Lacs (Previous year `188.00 Lacs). The future minimum lease payments under non-
cancelable operating leases due within a period of one year are estimated at `NIL (Previous year `NIL) and

Due to severe financial crisis, the Company has requested some of the lenders to waive off some part of
their interest on loan and negotiation on aforesaid matter is going on between the Company and the
lenders. On the basis of discussion with lenders, management feels that no interest provision is required
on loan from some of the lenders however, if any interest provision is required as per final negotiation it
will be made as and when required.
In the opinion of the Board, the Current Assets, Loans and Advances have been stated at a value realizable
in the ordinary course of business.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To The Board of Directors ofTricom India Limited
Report on the Consolidated Financial StatementsWe have audited the accompanying consolidated financial Statements of Tricom India Limited (“the Company”) and
stits subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”), which comprises the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 March, 2014, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow of the Group in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India including Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the Companies Act, 1956 (“the Act”). This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Group's preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified OpinionThe Company has not made the provision for interest on deposit of `13.97 Lacs as specified in Note no 3.7. Due to non provision of the said amount, deficit in Statement of Profit and Loss under Reserve and Surplus has been shown less and non-current liabilities have been shown less to this extent. This affects the accounting principles of accrual and consistency as per AS-1 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
Qualified OpinionIn our opinion, and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on consideration of the reports of the other auditors on the financial statements of the subsidiaries as noted below, except for the possible effect of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the said consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:
sti) in the case of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2014;ii) in the case of the Consolidated Statement Profit and Loss, of the Loss of the Company for the year ended on
that date; andiii) in the case of Consolidated Cash Flow Statements, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.
