S. NO

Particulars

Response

1.

The company has entered into Related Party Transactions in the ordinary course and at arms’ length without taking prior approval of the Audit Committee under Clause 23 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure) Requirements (LODR) even though the transactions have been ratified at a later date.

Going forward the company will take suitable steps to obtain prior approval .

2.

The Company didn’t file MGT-10 pursuant to sec.93 of the Companies Act, 2013 (Section since deleted) when one of the promoter sold 2.24% of equity shares in Company in January 2018.

The delay was due to inadvertence. The Company has taken sufficient precautions not to repeat such instances in the future.

3.

The Company had granted loans / made investments to its subsidiary after taking approval of the board of directors as required u/s.179 of the Companies Act, 2013 but the filing of the resolution pursuant to sec.117 of the Companies Act, 2013 has not been complied with. The company is in the process of making an application for the condonation of delay and for filing the aforesaid form with ROC.

The company is in the process of making an application for the condonation of delay and for filing the aforesaid form with ROC and such delay was due to inadvertence.

4.

It is seen from the copies of the Inter Depository Delivery Instructions (Form 15 of the Depositories’ business Rules) by one of the promoters that he has transferred 16,50,000 equity shares of the Company before 31-03-2018 to his own account maintained with another depository, but the said shares are not reflected either in the Promoters’ category or Public category in the name of the said promoter as per the Benpos dated 06-04-2018. The said transfer perhaps is reflected as ‘disposal’ in the system based disclosures of insider trading by the BSE Limited. The shareholding pattern filed by the Company to the stock exchanges doesn’t reflect the aforesaid transaction

The promoter is in the process of taking up the same with the concerned for necessary corrective measures.

8K MILES IP DRIVEN CLOUDEZ SOLUTIONS AND AS-A-SERVICE OFFERINGS:

Life sciences solutions built on Cloud

FINANCIAL SERVICES - THE NEXT FOCUS SEGMENT

By 2018, more than 60% of all enterprises will have at least half of their infrastructure on cloud based platforms. Financial service providers are starting to move legacy systems to the cloud which can accommodate its fast online growth. Functionalities including data warehousing and electronic business processing systems are to replace paper-based application systems. Some of the customers are even moving their entire retail banking platforms to the cloud to reduce complexity and costs while improving agility making the banks much more responsive to changing customer demands.

Another area is moving storage to the cloud which cuts costs in half. Similar savings can be achieved by moving application testing and development to cloud. Major cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) has scooped up significant business from financial services firms which have been early adopters of cloud. Amazon cloud is able to run credit risk simulations for its customers in 20 minutes, down from 23 hours before.

Adopting a cloud model will provide the banks, mortgage and insurance agencies with a platform that is secure, scalable and can handle mission-critical workloads while offering greater flexibility and performance. Following are the top established and emerging financial services related opportunities for cloud providers:

1. Card and mobile payment processing -- Visa, MasterCard, and trusted 3rd parties

2. Marketing and customer relationship management

3. Core banking

4. Human Resources and talent management

5. Infrastructure as a Service

6. Wealth management

7. Mortgage and Insurance applications

8K Miles can take a leadership role in these areas and be part of the cloud journey for financial service providers by providing the digital transformation services and cloud solutions in banking, insurance and mortgage industries.

OUTLOOK

RISK AND RISK MITIGATION
