board is pre-requisite for strong and effective corporate
governance. Corporate Governance deals with set of
laws, regulations, rules, and good practices that enable
an organization to perform efficiently and ethically
generate long term wealth and create value for all its
stakeholders. The Corporate Governance enables a
corporation to complete more efficiently and prevent
fraud and malpractices within organization. Our
Corporate Governance framework ensures that we make
timely disclosures and share accurate information
regarding our financials and performance, as well as the
leadership and governance of the Company.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION &


ANALYSIS REPORT
Economy and IT Industry Overview
Indian IT companies delivered a modest year in terms of
financial performance, driven by an overall
improvement in the quality of their service offerings
combined with a flat pricing environment. They are now
attempting to move up the value chain by providing
more end-to-end solutions to their clients.
Increased confidence of business leaders in their
companies performance and improved sentiment of
consumers drove spending in technology products.
Investment in technology is among top three priorities of
companies across the world. Worldwide interactions
with business leaders reveal that role of technology will
create biggest impact on their business. An increasing
acceptance of the fact that digital technologies will
impact business models, processes, new products and
services offerings, access to new markets, new customer
base and will open up completely new set of
opportunities for their companies, is a common feature
across industries and markets.
As a result, spending on technology and technology
services grew at a faster pace (4.5%) than global economic
growth in 2013. US world's largest IT market grew at
5.6%, while continuing to lead investments in digital
technologies. The need to find new ways to reach out to
consumers prompted the European companies to invest
in technology for optimization and innovation.
Revitalization of global economy continued during
calendar year 2013 and global economy ended year on a
better footing as compared to the start of the year. Global
trade and activity picked up in the second half of 2013.
Latest forecast from IMF says that world output growth
will reach 3.6% in 2014, up from 3% recorded in 2013.
Strengthening of developed economies is likely to boost
demand, which, in turn, will help emerging markets and
developing economies strengthen further.
US economy grew at an annual rate of 2.6% in last quarter
of 2013 with better forecast for 2014. The Euro Zone
appears to be transiting from recession to recovery with a
projected GDP growth of 1% in 2014 as against a marginal
de-growth of 0.4% recorded in 2013.

Expected revenues of IT-BPM in financial year 2014 is


USD 118 Billion. The actual revenue of India IT- BPM
revenue stands at 109 USD Billion in year 2013 as against
68 USD Billion in year 2009. Indian IT services exports
reached approximately USD 52 billion in FY 2014. IT
Services Exports revenue was 45.4 USD billion in FY 2013
as against 27 USD billion in FY 2009.
Indian market continues to acts as a beta testing ground
wherein 60% of the firms have India as their testing
ground before going global. Indian software export is
estimated to be 1.7 Billion USD in FY 2014. Export of
software was 1.6 Billion USD in FY 2013 as against 1.1% in
FY 2009. This indicates lower growth in terms of revenue
from export of software products. Indian IT Service
providers have increased their focus on:
i.

Strengthening customer-facing teams and


mining focus accounts

ii.

Deepening vertical specialization and building


deep domain expertise

iii.

Broadening services portfolio

iv.

Evolving newer business models, building


non-linear revenue streams

v.

Augmenting global delivery models.

Global ITES Industry has dramatically gone through a


sea change, where Technology was an enabler for
Automation, it is now an intricate service tool for
ensuring not only automation or process
implementation, but also as a bottom-line improvement
tool.
Number of deals signed by Prism Informatics Limited
(Prism) as of 2013-2014 is a clear indication that things are
changing for the better. The following years 2015 and
2016 would see things substantially improve with the
demand for ITES services on an upswing.
Prism is optimistic about the business prospects in USA,
Europe, Middle East and the Asia Pacific regions and is
geared to meet the challenges that such prospects may
bring.

India's IT industry can be divided into five main


components, viz. Software Products, IT services,
Engineering and R&D services, ITES/BPO (IT-enabled
services/Business Process Outsourcing) and Hardware.
Information Technology is one of the most important
industry in the Indian economy.

ANALYSIS REPORT
which has been reduced to Rs. 1.5 Crore.

Opportunities and Risks


Prism has identified opportunities based on trends
noticed in past couple of years, which continues to be
focus of our growth strategies during 2014-15, the key
ones among them are as follows:
1.

The adoption of Social media, Mobile, Analytics


and Cloud (SMAC) technologies is expected to
drive growth in all the segments. Cloud and
client maturity are the major drivers for this,
especially in IT. PRISM is adapting this
technology for upgrading its existing solutions
as part of its offerings.

2.

Emerging Geographies like MEA / APAC and


emerging verticals Healthcare, energy and
retails are the key areas where CMC will tap
opportunities with its core competency of asset
based solution.

III.

Management representation (MP) for point (I)


(II) and (III) above: The Company is taking all
reasonable steps to avail bank guarantee.
Company has approached various banks in this
regards and is in talk with leading banks to assist
the company by providing Bank Guarantee and
enable company to secure the operational
activities of the Company. One of the leading
Bank have considered our proposal and we are in
negotiation stage to solve these internal
problems and same might take some time as
same involves restructuring of business.
IV.

Threats:
1.

2.

Attrition: Since the IT sector is exposed to high


attrition rate due to more opportunities available
in market for the employee, retaining existing
talent pool and attracting new talented
manpower is a major risk to the Company. The
Company has initiated various measures to
enhance the retention of employees during the
year which includes, employee engagement
surveys, transparent Performance Management
System, and Prismconnect to maintain
employee-friendly culture in the organization.

Risk External to the Company:


I.

I.

II.

Presently Company does not have bank


guarantee facility and hence not able to conduct
its SAP licensing business to its full extent.
Company has taken a cash credit facility from

evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the

financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

Notes to the Abridged Financial Statements

1) Company has honored its obligation with respect to repayment of loans and interest on its due date and there has
been no default on the part of Company to honor its commitments.

6) Going Concern :
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplated continuity of normal
business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
i.

The Company has step down subsidiary TLC Technologies INC under Prism Inc US. The Prism India
holds 100% shareholding in the Prism Inc US and Prism Inc held 51% in the TLC Technologies INC
Company. The TLC was incurring losses from the operations resulting in substantial erosion of the
capital. Subsequent to the sale of shares of step down subsidiary TLC, the business conditions indicate
the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt regarding Prism Inc's., ability to
continue as going concern. In the Opinion of the management there is a decline, other than temporary, in
the carrying amounts of long term investments. Hence reduction in the carrying amount of investment
Rs 2, 56, 23,329/- has been charged to the profit and loss statement as an exceptional / extraordinary
item. The Accounts receivable from the TLC Technologies Rs 1, 68, 16,560/- has also been provided as
doubtful debt and considered in the exceptional / Extraordinary items.
During the previous financial year the Company had 100% subsidiary Prism Informatics Pte Ltd at
Singapore. The subsidiary was incurring losses from the operations resulting in substantial erosion of
capital as on the balance sheet date. The subsidiary had borrowed Rs 30, 97,325 from Prism India for its
working capital requirements. Also, refer Note no 13 (b) for the step down subsidiary of the Prism Pte
for closing agreement signed by the company with its ex-owners which may require additional
quantification of liability, if any. These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may
cast significant doubt about the subsidiary's ability to continue as a going concern. In the opinion of the
management there is a decline, other than temporary, in the carrying amounts of long term investments.
Hence, reduction in the carrying amount of investment Rs 3, 12, 97,902 has been charged to the profit
and loss statement as an exceptional / extraordinary item in the previous financial year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PRISM INFORMATICS LTD.
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated financial statements of Prism Informatics Limited (the
Company) and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries constitute the Group), which comprise
the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31st March 2014, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and the
Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on 31st March, 2014 and a summary of the significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company's Management is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that
give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance and
consolidated cash flows of the Group, in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to
the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with the Standard on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
company's preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.

We did not audit the financial statements of the subsidiaries of Prism Informatics Limited whose financial
statements reflect total assets (net) of Rs. 2277.96 lacs as at 31st March 2014 and total revenue of Rs. 4916.64 for
the year ended on 31st March 2014, as considered in the consolidated financial statements. These financial
statements have been audited by other auditors. The audit reports of the subsidiaries have been furnished to
us, and in our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect of those associates and
subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
Without qualifying our report, we draw attention to Note no.1.1 to the financial statements indicates the
Company's 100% subsidiary Prism Inc has been incurring losses from the operations and sale of its subsidiary
Company TLC Technologies INC Company, in which Prism Inc held 51% holding, resulting in substantial
erosion of capital as on the balance sheet date. In the opinion of the management these conditions indicate the
existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the subsidiary's ability to continue as a
going concern. Hence the carrying amount of investment Rs.2,56,23,329 has been impaired and receivables
from the TLC Technologies Rs 1,68,16,560 has been provided as doubtful debt and the said impairment and
doubtful debts is considered in the exceptional / Extraordinary items.
The Company had also provided some of the intercompany balances for other subsidiaries aggregating (net) to
Rs (3,08,80,538). These have been considered to the profit and loss statement as an exceptional / extraordinary item.

The excess of the cost of the Holding Company of its investment in subsidiaries over the Holding Company's portion of
equity in the subsidiaries, at the respective dates on which investments in subsidiaries were made, is recognized in the
consolidated financial statements as Goodwill. The holding company's portion of equity in the subsidiaries is
determined on the basis of the book value of the acquired assets and liabilities as per the financial statements of the
subsidiaries as on the date of investment.

impairment. The Group evaluates the carrying amount of its goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that its carrying amount may be impaired.
