2. PERFORMANCE

Generally the performance of the company has substantially reduced. The problems faced by the company are due to various reasons enumerated in the previous annual report as well. During the year under review, the Canadian subsidiary was sold by ICICI Bank Limited . Due to this there is steep reduction in turnover . The turnover of the Canadian subsidiary for the accounting year 2013-14 was Rs 478.84 Crs.

During FY 2014-15, the company has posted a muted financial performance, both at the standalone and consolidated level. Net Loss at the consolidated level has increased from Rs. 559.17 crores in the previous year to a net loss of Rs. 637.29 crores.

Charges to the extent of Rs. 174.07 crores, which constitutes 42.4% of the revenue from operations at standalone level, our loss after tax amounted to Rs. 628.41 crores as against the previous year loss of Rs. 437.91 crores. On consolidated basis, our profit / (loss) after tax amounted to (Rs. 637.29 crores) as against loss Rs. 559.17 crores of the previous year. This is principally due to four factors. (1) Increase in Depreciation/Amortization compared to the previous year's 14.9%. (2) Employee benefit expenses forms 36.4% of the operating revenue as against 51.8% in the previous year. (3) Project related expenses stands at 45.4% on the revenue from operations compared to the previous year's ratio of 37.4%. (4) The cost escalation on Operations and other expense rose to 20.1% on operating revenue compared to the previous year's recorded ratio of 30.4%. This is primarily due to the provision of doubtful debts amount on account receivables amounting to Rs. 468.94 crores.

These four factors coupled with losses suffered due to acute shortage of human resources. Offshore has lost the technical engineer's strength of 2,107 during the FY 2013-14 and further recruitment of engineers has been standing as a challenge due to the prevailing financial challenges and instability arising out of liabilities with the lenders/banks. This originated in the previous financial year due to the foreign currency fluctuation that caused a severe flow to P&L account. The Indian rupee which was at levels of Rs. 42 to a US dollar in October 2011 started to depreciate sharply to levels of Rs. 55 within a short period and again from Rs. 55 it steadily depreciated to levels Rs. 68 before settling to current levels of Rs. 65 to a USD. The working capital PCFC loan limits was fixed in INR but a ailment & repayment was in USD. Steep Rupee depreciation caused overdrawn situation in the account. Banks either adjusted or sent letters to adjust the overdrawn immediately without any delay irrespective of whether the receivables are overdue or not, thus the Rupee depreciation effected in PCFC limit shrinkage. This explains the huge Rs. 200 crores four loss suffered by the company cumulatively during the period starting from October 2011 until September 2013 i.e. spread over three financial years of FY 2012, FY 2013 & FY 2014. The company had no option but to request the bank either to fix the limits in US$ or increase the limit by the depreciated portion as the a ailment has always been PCFC as majority of expenses being in US$. Unfortunately, both the requests were not considered and thus leading to overdrawn situation. Due to prior customer contractual commitments, the company had to borrow outside consortium by way of unsecured loan from banks/NBFCs to tie up the WC deficit. This created an increased expense in interest costs. Further lot of capex items which were in WIP the previous year went on stream this year for which Depreciation/amortization expenses had to be taken.

The net worth of the company at the standalone level has decreased to Rs. -115.43 crores from Rs. 512.98 crores and the group net worth has decreased to Rs. -181.33 crores from Rs. 411.09 crores. The EPS stood at - 108.03 (Rs. -94.79 PY) for standalone and Rs. -106.52 (Rs. -74.23 PY) for the group for the FY ending 31st March 2015.

Liquidation proceedings: Few creditors have filed winding-up petition against the company in the High court. Against one of such petition, High court had given an order for winding up, which we have contested with the prayer to stay the said order. Hearings are happening at regular intervals. In the recent hearing, the bench in which we appealed for the stay have categorically instructed, that the company should not be wound-up by OL and the case be transferred to a single Judge company's court to hear further on this case. However, the bench further instructed that regular statutory compliances and operations of the company should not be curtailed in any manner

The Members,

The Directors submit the 19l Annual Report of the Company along With the audited financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 20.14.

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND REVIEW OF OPERATION

During FY 2013-14, the company has posted a muted financial performance, both at the standalone and consolidated level. Net Profit at the consolidated level has come down from Rs. 2.99 crores in the previous year to a net loss of Rs. 559.17 crores.

At standalone level, our loss after tax amounted to Rs. 437.91 crores as against the previous year profit of Rs. 8.09 crores. On consolidated basis, our profit/(loss) after tax amounted to (Rs. 559.17 crores) as against Rs. 2.99 crores of the previous year. This is principally due to four factors. (1) Increase in Depreciation/Amortization Charges to the extent of Rs. 71.96 crores, which constitutes 14.9% of the revenue from operations compared to the previous year''s 7.4%. (2) Employee benefit expenses forms 51.9% of the operating revenue as against 43.0% in the previous year. (3) Project related expenses stands at 37.4% on the revenue from operations compared to the previous year''s ratio of 29.2%. (4) The cost escalation on Operations and other expense rose to 30.4% on operating revenue compared to the previous year''s recorded ratio of 13.3%. This is primarily due to the write-off amount on account receivables amounting to Rs. 213.11 crores.

These four factors coupled with losses suffered due to acute shortage of human resources. Offshore has lost the technical engineer''s strength of 2,107 during the FY 2013-14 and further recruitment of engineers has been standing as a challenge due to the prevailing financial challenges and instability arising out of liabilities with the lenders/banks. This originated in the previous financial year due to the foreign currency fluctuation that caused a severe flow to P&L account. The Indian rupee which was at levels of Rs. 42 to a US dollar in October 2011 started to depreciate sharply to levels of Rs. 55 within a short period and again from Rs. 55 it steadily depreciated to levels Rs. 68 before settling to current levels of Rs. 62 to a USD. The working capital PCFC loan limits was fixed in INR but availment & repayment was in USD- Steep Rupee depreciation caused overdrawn situation in the account. Banks either adjusted or sent-letters to adjust the overdrawn immediately without any delay irrespective of whether the receivables are overdue or not, thus the Rupee depreciation effected in PCFC limit shrinkage. This explains the huge Rs. 200 crores forex loss suffered by the company cumulatively during the period starting from October 2011 until September 2013 ie spread over 3 financial years of FY 2012, FY 2013 & FY 2014. The company had no option but to request the bank either to fix the Jimits in US$ or increase the limit by the depreciated portion as the availment has always been PCFC as majority of expenses being in US$. Unfortunately, both the requests were not considered and thus leading to overdrawn situation. Due to prior customer contractual commitments, the company had to borrow outside consortium by way of unsecured loan from banks/NBFCs to tie up the WC deficit. This created an increased expense in interest costs. Further lot of capex items which were in WIP the previous year went on stream this year for which Depreciation/amortization expenses had to be taken.

The net worth of the company at the standalone level has decreased to Rs. 512.98 crores from Rs. 819.53 crores and the group net worth has decreased to Rs. 411.09 crores from Rs. 911.57 crores. The EPS stood at - 2.46 (Rs. 52.86 PY) for standalone and Rs. 0.91 (Rs. 62.14 PY) for the group for the FY ending 31st March 2014.''

Liquidation proceedings:_Few creditors have filed winding-up petition against the company in the High court. Against one of such petition, High court had given an order for winding up, which we have contested with the prayer to stay the said order. Hearings are happening at regular intervals. In the recent hearing, the bench in which we appealed for the stay have categorically instructed, that the company should not be wound-up by OL and the case be transferred to a single judge company''s court to hear further on this case. However, the bench further instructed that regular statutory compliances and operations of the company should not be curtailed in any manner

Directors Reply to the Auditor''s Remarks:

A substantial loss of Rs. 200 Crores due to appreciation of US Dollar Vs the Indian rupee created shrinkage in working capital limits as the Loans.were in dollar denomination but limit was set in INR. Further the company couldn''t tie up additional sanctioned working capital limit in the subsequent year creating a deficit of additional Rs. 130 crores. This happened during the period when Zylog was in parallel investing in expansion plans across different regions most of which were highly capital intensive in nature, but had the capability to provide solid& consistent returns after couple of years. Naturally the holding capacity of the company got deteriorated^ due to the losses suffered during the period & hence it had to abandon some plans mid-way which created further losses.

This mismatch in cash flow resulted in slippage in pay roll processing, vendor payment & payments related to statutory dues like Dividend, TDS etc. The management is taking several measures on the operational front, lots of optimization/consolidation measures was put across all projects across the globe to manage and improve the cash flow, the results of which will naturally take some time to fructify but the management is confident of steering the company back on track in another few quarters.

The Company shall take necessary Initiative to file Form-2 for the allotment of shares during the year to the tune of Rs.131.36 crores in respect of GDR issue.

HUMAN RESOURCES

Despite the crisis the company faced due to working capital mismatch it did not resort to retrenchment of employees. The employees were briefed on the crisis and were requested to provide the company with a breathing period for cash flows to get stabilized but those who wanting to leave the organization were allowed to do so. A number of resources at the offshore locations in Chennai & Hyderabad & Bangalore left the organization while the Onsite offices has gone through relatively a lesser impact.

On consolidated basis, our profit after tax amounted to Rs. 2.99 crores as against Rs. 204.40 crores. This is principally due to three factors.

Increase in Depreciation/Amortization Charges to the extent of Rs. 118 crores & Bad debts written off to the tune of Rs. 20 Crores. These three factors coupled with losses suffered due to foreign currency fluctuation dealt a severe flow to P&L account. The Indian rupee which was at levels of Rs. 42 to a US dollar in October 2011 started to depreciate sharply to levels of Rs. 55 within a short period and again from Rs. 55 it steadily depreciated to levels Rs 68 before settling to current levels of Rs. 62 to a USD.

RESULTS OF OPERATION

During FY 2011-12, the company posted an excellent financial performance, both at the standalone and consolidated level.The prospects for the company have improved immeasurably in spite of challenging global economic climate. Each of the subsidiaries has incrementally added value in its area of operation, both in the geographical sense and also in the particular niche offering that is the hallmark of the subsidiary in question. Net Profit at the consolidated level has continued to climb steeply at the rate of 41% from Rs. 145.15 crores in the previous year to Rs. 204.40 crores. Total Revenue for Zylog Systems Limited was Rs. 1,218.76 crores as against Rs. 915.84 crores in the previous year, representing a growth of 33%.

At standalone level, our profit after tax amounted to Rs. 173.89 crores (14.27% of revenue) as against Rs. 121.12 crores (13.22% of revenue), thus representing an increase of 43.57% over the previous year. On consolidated basis, our profit after tax amounted to Rs. 204.40 crores (8.99% of revenue) as against Rs. 145.15 crores (10.29% of revenue).The net worth of the company has increased to Rs. 827.61 crores from Rs. 672.84 crores whereas the group net worth has increased to Rs. 909 crores from Rs. 709.14 crores.The EPS has improved to Rs. 105.73 (Rs. 73.64 PY) for standalone and Rs. 124.28 (Rs. 88.25 PY) for the group.

Tax benefits extended to 100% Export Oriented Unit ("EOU") registered with SoftwareTechnology Parks of India (STPI) have been fully withdrawn by the Government. Hence, tax burden on the software exports has substantially increased for the offshore revenue. However, the company having set up an Offshore Development Centre in Special Economic Zone in Siruseri,Chennai to implement new projects, has helped in reducing the tax burden to some extent. However, the full effect of the tax benefits emanating from this move can be seen only in the forthcoming years.

STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS & ACQUISITIONS

The Company continues to invest heavily in its Products & solutions space which is the main differentiator vis - a – vis other companies in the IT Software Development space.We now have customers in newer geographies such as the Carribean, South Africa, the Middle East and Australia. Our flagship solutions such as Field Power, Smart Migrator and Bank.Companion have won increasing traction, entirely based on existing customer references. So this goes to show the exemplary performance that Zylog is notching up in the market amongst the stiffest competition offered by our peers who are mainly based in North America and Europe. It is also gratifying to know that, despite our relative size, we command huge respect by means of representation on the Technology Committee/Board of industry leaders such as Sun MicroSystems.As our forte is increasingly innovation and how to leverage it by making use of cutting edge technology to solve business problems, this kind of involvement at the highest level brings us kudos and ensures that we are noticed in the marketplace.We have opened up development centres in Dubai and Malaysia to serve better our existing customers in those regions and also to take advantage of investor-friendly tax regimes offered by the said countries.Thus we will be in a better position to consolidate and expand our client base as both Dubai and Malaysia are very much implementing to be regional hubs to vast prosperous hinterlands such as Saudi Arabia and other wealthy oil-rich states and also latterly, South East Asia as a region in its own right with huge potential, to attract inward investment by providing high class infrastructure and other benefits to global corporations such as Zylog.

Much of our vision comes from wanting to be the kind of business that accommodates several objectives including innovative excellence, customer care, attention to detail, attending to complementary markets and verticals and giving fullest respect to specialized tools or solutions within the software technological arena, however small by acquiring companies with those solutions and integrating them within their stable of offerings. Our growth strategy has always been by means of the twin methods of organic and inorganic means which subsequently complement each other over a period of time. Following an acquisition, the customer pools of both acquiring and acquired entity get enlarged, thereby enlarging the revenue pool and gradually removing the previously clear lines of demarcation between the two entities. Customer mining is a very large source of our revenue as we always look to work existing customers in prospecting for new ones, either by geography or business vertical.We continue to look to acquire suitable target companies with unfulfilled potential which will pay full justice to our various objectives outlined above.

STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS & ACQUISITIONS

One of the largest acquisitions of the Company during the previous year was M/s. Brainhunter Inc, Canada.The benefits that were envisaged include access to new clients, new geographical areas and new service and product offerings. This company was endowed with a superb client base to which Zylog could market and sell its own products and solutions. The other main plus point of the acquisition was that Canada represented a stable and prosperous economy into which any business that had a significant presence in the US like Zylog would want to add its own footprint in Canada as a natural extension of its operations. Integration of Brainhunter indeed had its own challenges which have been successfully overcome, as the synergy of leveraging

Zylog's top management, business development, marketing and other operational expertise has been fully put into practice. The 'Brainhunter' business that was acquired was purely an asset purchase and not an equity purchase. This purchase was through our wholly owned subsidiary, Zylog Systems (Canada) Limited. The business is now recognized under the name of Zylog Systems (Canada) Limited. Once the Company completely leverages Brainhunter's customer base to cross-sell its own products and services, the benefits will accrue in subsequent periods.This is entirely in line with Zylog's strategic vision that seeks out target companies for acquisition which have substantial untapped potential in their business prospects or have some operational, financial or geographical constraints. During the year, Zylog Systems (Canada) Limited has acquired 100% of the share capital of Mindwire Inc. for a net consideration amounting to Rs 5,83,68,125. This was an operational decision implemented to facilitate the running of Business with Government Departments which contribute 30% of total revenues of the subsidiary. Mindwire was a locally registered Canadian company which had an excellent track record in conducting business with Government Departments in Canada. One other acquisition during the previous year, M/s Matrix Primus Partners Inc., USA has also performed well contributing revenue of Rs. 91.23 cr with a net profit of Rs. 10.95 cr.

Your company has been doing well in various acquisitions from previous financial years and has successfully integrated the acquired products, solutions and services into its suite of offerings. These acquisitions have helped the Company to penetrate the market deeper and cross-sell its newly-acquired offerings to complementary markets, thus enlarging its reach. Your Company continues to look out for suitable acquisitions that shall be a leading edge in business and has potential to yield substantial business benefits. Acquiring a company in a niche space will have its own attractions amongst existing offerings. Also, building up economies of scale in our product and service capabilities proves to be a very important strategy as we target larger size contracts with premier companies and governments around the world.
