Financial Overview

During the Financial year (FY) under review, the company incurred Net loss of Rs.14,698.44 Lakhs as against net loss of rs.29,547.67 lakhs in the previous year on consolidated basis. the Company’s consolidated EPS for the year was Rs.(41.97) as against Rs.(84.54) for the previous financial year. Management Discussion and Analysis forming part of this director’s report includes detailed review of the financial performance of the Company.

the revenues of the group derived from its online advertising segment has declined to rs.3,305.94 lakhs during the FY, as compared to rs.56,034.27 lakhs in the previous year. Further, the group has incurred losses of rs.14,673.92 lakhs during the FY and its net-worth as at 31st March, 2010 reduced to rs.1,748.85 lakhs as compared to rs.16,511.49 lakhs as at 31st March, 2009. During the FA Y, the group initiated the sale of certain internet-based intellectual properties. there has been no closure of the transaction so far.

As part of its ongoing restructuring exercise which commenced during the previous financial year, the Group has scaled down its internet related business considerably. In March, 2010, the group decided to liquidate its UK based subsidiary, Axill Europe Limited (AEL) the process for which is currently being implemented. Consequently, the Group recorded an impairment charge of Rs.6,420.75 Lakhs, relating to the write down of the carrying values of fixed assets held by AEL to its estimated recoverable values. The Group has estimated the recoverable values of the fixed assets based on initial discussions with potential buyers.

Notwithstanding the significant decline in net-worth which is on account of operating losses, write-down in fixed assets in Axill Europe Limited (as explained above) as well as provision/write-off of bad and doubtful debtors, recorded during the FY ended March, 2010. the group believes that with the considerable scaling of its internet- related business, it has attained a sustainable scale of operations which will generate operating cash flows sufficient to meet its ongoing expenses. No further write-down of fixed assets is expected and current assets and liabilities are expected to be realized and settled in the normal course. Further, the group also believes that the scaled down operations are capable of sustaining in the foreseeable future. on the basis of the above, the group believes that the going concern assumption is valid and the online advertising segment is a continuing business segment.

Dividend

No dividend for the FY 2009-10 was recommended by the Board of Directors.

Explanation to the Auditors Qualification

the group commenced Securities trading on 10th December, 2009 through its subsidiary Var Quant tech Securities Private Limited (Var Quant).
