* Warranty provision relate to the estimated outflow in respect of warranty for products sold by the Company. Due to very nature of such costs, it is not possible to estimate the timing/uncertainties relating to their outflows as well as expense from such estimates

** As per notification no. 22/2006 of Central Excise, the Company has to pay additional custom duty on its local sales, if the goods sold are exempted from payment of sales tax or value added tax. One of the units of the Company is exempt from payment of local sales tax and hence the department has disputed the same and demanded the duty on the sale of such goods. The Company has contested this matter and the dispute is currently pending at CESTAT and Commissioner of Custom and Central Excise forum and final demand order has not been raised till now. Pending the final outcome of the dispute with authorities, the Company has recorded the provision for the amount demanded by the authorities on prudence basis and is accruing the interest on it on quarterly basis.

As at March 31, 2016, accrual for premium on FCCB aggregates Rs 4,983,850,363 . The company is in the process of negotiation with the bondholders to re-structure the terms of these bonds and these negotiations have progressed. The Company has applied to the RBI for approval to extend the repayment of FCCBs till December 2016.

Due to continued liquidity issues primarily resulting from non-release of sanctioned working capital limits and refunds due to the Company, the Company has been unable to comply with repayment terms of its borrowing arrangement with secured lenders as agreed in the Corporate Debt Restructuring package approved in year ended March 31, 2013. The Company has received debt recall and other notices from certain consortium lender banks for their respective share of debt. Meanwhile, the Company has approached the lender consortium for a revised debt restructuring plan. The revised debt restructuring plan submitted by the Company includes deferment of debt and interest repayment, disposal of surplus assets and infusion of fresh capital by the promoters. The banks instituted a TEV study to be conducted by an expert appointed by bank who has since submitted its report to the lenders. In a recent meeting, the lenders have indicated their inability to accept the TEV and have indicated their intention to exit from the CDR and initiate legal proceedings against the company subject to approval of their competent authorities. The Company continues to engage with management of banks for restructuring proposal during the period as well as previous year. The final response of the banks is awaited. Meanwhile the banks have allowed the company to continue to operate through TRA with 6% tagging. On March 30, 2016, one of the lender banks, which is part of the CDR consortium of the Company, has assigned its outstanding dues in favour of an asset reconstruction company on the same terms and conditions as applicable to the said lender.

The Company has been operating at suboptimal levels due to working capital constraints, resulting in adverse impact on cash flow from operations. With restoration of OEM optical media business, generation of funds through sale of surplus assets and promoter contribution, accompanied by restructuring of debt from banks, the Company expects to achieve better utilization of its manufacturing facilities and consequently, generate positive cash flow from operations.

Conditions explained above, indicate existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern due to which the Company may not be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, considering recent developments, inter-alia, progress made in the review of plan and further management''s plans relating to restructuring of debt, FCCBs, infusion of capital, generation of funds through sale of surplus assets and expected improvement in the operating activities, management is confident of generating positive cash flow from operations and accordingly, these results have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Under the Income Tax Act, 1961, for domestic Transfer Pricing transaction the Company is required to use specified methods for computing arm''s length price in relation to domestic transactions with its associated enterprises. Further, Company is required to maintain prescribed information and documents in relating to such transactions. The appropriate method to be adopted will depend on the nature of transactions/class of transactions, class of associated persons, functions performed and other factors, which have been prescribed. The management confirms that all transactions with associated enterprises are undertaken at negotiated contracted prices on usual commercial terms, and adjustments if any, arising from the transfer pricing study shall be accounted for as and when the study is completed. The Company is in the process of conducting a transfer pricing study for the current financial year, however, management is of the view that the same would not have a material impact on the financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments for the transfer pricing implications, if any.

On the basis of approval by Board of Directors and upon completion of successful bidding process, assets has been classified as "Non-current asset held for sale" in financial statements.

In the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company had received grant of Rs. 35,000,000 for the said project.

Pursuant to the meeting of R&D Project Appraisal Committee (RDPAC) on Solar Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal held on November 16, 2015 and letter No. 15/01/2010-11/ST dated March 28, 2016, the project was considered as commercially unviable and therefore decided to abandon the project and the Company has been requested to shift all MNRE assets acquired out of the grant received to National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) and unspent money is to be return to the MNRE.

Note 16. on "Fixed Assets" under the sub-head Plant and Equipment includes testing equipments of Rs. 21,139,973 acquired out of the grant received, having carrying value of Rs. 9,329,622 as at March 31, 2016.

the current period.

17. During the current period, certain workers at Greater Noida plant instigated illegal stoppage of work, which consequently affected factory operations in the month of March 2015. On account of stoppage of work as aforesaid, the Company''s shipment and revenue were adversely affected. Operating cost were also lower on account of lower expenses including wages cost. With the support of concerned government and administrative authorities, an amicable settlement reached with the workers and normalcy was restored in early April 2015. Company ensured that disruption led to minimum impact on operating cash flows and speedy recovery thereafter.

18. The Company has changed its financial year from 31 December to 31 March and prepared financial statements for 15 months, whereas previous financial year consisted of 12 months period. Accordingly, current financial period figures are not comparable with those of the previous year.

The Company has incurred a loss of Rs 7,083,003,303 during the year ended 31 December 2014 (previous period Rs 4,466,627,030), and, as of that date, the Company''s accumulated losses amounts to Rs. 16,457,149,952 (previous period Rs. 9,374,146,649) and it has negative net worth of Rs. 9,139,176,589 (previous period Rs. 1,453,334,331). Further, as of 31 December 2014, the Company''s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 14,877,708,565 (previous period Rs. 9,671,083,241)

Due to continued liquidity issues, the Company has been unable to comply with repayment terms of its borrowing arrangement with secured lenders as agreed in the Corporate Debt Restructuring package approved in 31 March 2013. The Company has now approached these lenders for a revised debt restructuring plan. The management has submitted its proposal which is under review at this stage. The revised debt restructuring plan submitted by the Company includes deferment of debt and interest repayment, disposal of surplus assets and infusion of fresh capital by the promoters. The management is hopeful of finalizing the restructuring package soon.

The Company also has outstanding foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs) with principal value of USD 88,500,000 (equivalent to Rs 5,579,040,000) which were due for redemption on 21 June 2012.

With generation of funds through sale of surplus assets and promoter contribution, accompanied by restructuring of debt from banks and FCCB holders, the Company expects to achieve better utilization of its manufacturing facilities and consequently, generate positive cash flow from operations.

Conditions explained above, indicate existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern due to which the Company may not be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, considering management plans relating to restructuring of debt, infusion of capital and generation of funds through sale of surplus assets and expected improvement in the operating activities, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

9 Under the Income Tax Act, 1961, for domestic Transfer Pricing transaction the Company is required to use specified methods for computing arm''s length price in relation to domestic transactions with its associated enterprises. Further, Company is required to maintain prescribed information and documents in relating to such transactions. The appropriate method to be adopted will depend on the nature of transactions/class of transactions, class of associated persons, functions performed and other factors, which have been prescribed. The management confirms that all transactions with associated enterprises are undertaken at negotiated contracted prices on usual commercial terms, and adjustments if any, arising from the transfer pricing study shall be accounted for as and when the study is completed. The Company is in the process of conducting a transfer pricing study for the current financial year, however, management is of the view that the same would not have a material impact on the financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments for the transfer pricing implications, if any.

10 During the previous period the Company had changed its financial year from 31 March to 31 December, hence previous financial year consisted of 9 months period from April 2013 to December 2013. Accordingly current financial year figures are not comparable with those of the previous period.
