ii. Information pursuant to the Discontinuing Operations in accordance
with AS 24 - "Discontinuing Operations" issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India is as follows:
2.5 In April 2010, the Company had acquired an additional 49% stake in
Zicom CNA Automation Ltd. (ZCNA) which became a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company from the said date. Subsequent to this acquisition, the
Company has entered into BTA dated April 29, 2010 with ZCNA and
acquired the entire Automation Business on Slump Sale basis (Going
concern) for the consideration of Rs. 25 Lacs. No Goodwill / Capital
Reserve has been recognized in the books of the company as a
consequence of the above acquisition, since the Net Assets received
form ZCNA are equal to the Purchase Consideration.
Keeping in view the fact that Net Worth of ZCNA as on March 31, 2011
was lower than the book value of the investments made by the company as
on the said date, the company has decided to provide for diminution in
the value of the said investment to the extent of Rs. 70 Lacs and has
recognized in the books under the head Extraordinary items.
2.6 As a part of restructuring and in order to improve focus on the
retail security business, the Board of Directors in its meeting held on
September 30, 2010 has approved transfer of the retail security
business of its then wholly owned subsidiary Zicom Retail Products
Private Limited (ZRPPL) to the Company for a purchase consideration of
Rs. 4,800 Lacs resulting in Goodwill of Rs. 2,019 Lacs which is recognized
in the books of accounts, considering the benefit which will accrue as
a consequence of the above, the Company has decided to amortize the
Goodwill so arisen over a period of ten years in equal installment.
Consequent on transfer of the aforesaid business under slump sale on
going concern basis, the company had disinvested its entire cumulative
investment of Rs. 11,000 Lacs in its loss making subsidiary ZRPPL at
price of Rs. 1,500 Lacs. Resulting loss is reflected in extraordinary
item. The said loss was mainly on account of brand building expenses
incurred over a period of 4 years while building retail security
business.
2.7 In March 2011, the Company has divested its entire stake in its
subsidiary Zicom Manufacturing Co. (HK) Ltd. (ZHK) for a consideration
of Rs. 135 Lacs and made the profit of Rs. 109 Lacs on the disposal of the
same and has recognized in the books under the head Extraordinary
items.
2.8 Thus considering the profit of Rs. 12,463 Lacs made on Business
Transfer Arrangement with SE as above, profit / loss on account of
divestment of subsidiary ZHK and ZRPPL as above and diminution in the
value of investment made in ZCNA has resulted in a net surplus of Rs.
3,002 Lacs which is shown as Extraordinary item in the statement of
profit and loss.

consideration receivable by the company from Schneider Electrical India
Private Limited (SE) kept under Escrow as per the terms of Business
