reducing the profit for the year (if any) and net assets at 31st March by that amount.
"As enumerated above, the losses the company suffered were mainly caused due caused due to acute recession/down turn
in the market and liquidity environment starting 2012-2013. The difficulties were further complicated by slow recovery of
the dues from the customers. A large number of customers also refused to pay on account of some or the other product
and service deficiency or non-conformity with the order. Some of these were due to the service and implementation
deficiencies caused by the acute shortage of manpower and the company has had to consequently book these and other
non-recoverable amounts as bad debts."
Other Matters:
As per statutory records produced before Auditors and explanations given to them, Auditors comment as follows:
(i) There were no Independent Directors in the company leading to non-compliance of the provisions of the listing
Agreement as well as the Companies Act 2013.
The Company had already published the advertisement twice in the newspapers in the recent past, concerning inviting
candidature for the appointment of Independent director. However, we have not yet received the appropriate candidature
for the same. Also, the Company is lacking in receipt of director's candidatures, in quantum, for being appointed on the

NET 4 INDIA LTD. www.net4india.com
Board of the Company. The reason behind the lack in receipt of director's candidature would probably be the concerning
financial position of the Company and other ongoing numerous issues/cases therein. The company is going through an
extremely tough financial position since more than two years and has suffered heavy losses. In the backdrop of the above,
the director's, independent or otherwise, might not find their position comfortable; and thus, the company is not receiving
the candidature for the position as such. We, however, submit that the Company is consistently trying to appoint suitable
candidature on the Board of the Company at the earliest and have already taken step in compliance thereof by publishing
the advertisements as specified above and are continually stepping ahead for recruiting the suitable candidature. We are
endeavoring hard for the appointment of the suitable candidature and as soon as we find the suitable candidature, we'll
make the appointment with no delays.
(ii) There was no Woman Director in the Board of Directors of the company, leading to non-compliance of the applicable
provision.
The Company has appointed a woman Director on 30th October,2015.

Due to the Sudden Resignation of all the Independent Directors, the company could not Constitute an audit Committee

Due to the Sudden Resignation of all the Independent Directors, the company could not Constitute the said Committee.
(vii) There was no Internal Auditor for the year.
Due to the resignation of the Internal auditor the position was vacated however the company shall appoint the same with

h.) Non-Compliance of provisions relating to public deposit i.e.as per the requirements of Company (Acceptance of Deposit)
Rules, 1975 a company has to deposit or invest at least 15% of its deposits maturing during the financial year latest by 30th
April 2014. This requirement has not been complied by the company.
Due to the tough financial position the company has filed the repayment scheme to CLB for Repayment to FD holders, and

submitted before it. The Court has stayed this order subject to payment of ` 25 Lacs in 4 weeks out of which ` 10 Lacs
was paid immediately and for the balance, the company has time till 17th June, 2015. This observation is incorrect, as,
although the company had received the winding up order dated 23.04.2015 it was not a part of the period under review. Be
that as it may, the Company had appealed the decision and received a stay order dated 18.05.2015 and has paid ` 45 lacs in
compliance of the order of the Hon'ble high Court which is ` 9 lacs more than the actual liability. The matter is under
consideration by the Court.
