REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Annual Report 2014Prism Informatics Limited
Pursuant to Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement, a report on Corporate Governance is given below:
1) Company's philosophy on Code of Governance:
Corporate Governance is a concerned with the way corporate entities are governed, as distinct from the way business within those companies are managed. We believe that an active, well-informed and independent board is necessary to ensure the highest standards of corporate governance. It is well recognized that effective 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.
Recently, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) sought to amend the equity listing agreement to bring in additional corporate governance norms for listed entities. These norms provide for stricter disclosures and protection of investors rights, including equitable treatment for minority and foreign shareholders. Many of the amendments are effective from 1st day of October, 2014. The amended regulation requires Companies to obtain the approval of Shareholders for material related trade party transaction, to have women director on the Board of Company.

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.
India's IT industry can be divided into five main components, viz. Software Products, IT services, En-gineering 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.

Page|46
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.
Threats:
1. 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.
2. Technological Changes: The Company operates in high end technology domain which is subject to continuous innovations based on customer requirement. To mitigate the risk of technological changes, Company has its own R&D center to track technological innovations which are relevant to the business of the Company.
Risk:
Risk internal to the Company:
I. Presently Company does not have bank guarantee facility and hence not able to conduct its SAP licensing business to its full extent.
II. Company has taken a cash credit facility from Saraswat Co-operative Bank of Rs. 5 Crores
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT
Annual Report 2014Prism Informatics Limited
which has been reduced to Rs. 1.5 Crore.
III. Company in order to meet its working capital requirement has availed certain inter corporate loan at higher rate of interest i.e. simple interest of 27% p.a.
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. Company has receivable of Rs. 11 Crores which is outstanding for a period of more than six months as on 31st March, 2014. Company has provided provision for receivables due from its own subsidiaries amounting to Rs. 5.76 Crores. The said provision requires approval from RBI.
MP: The Company is in process to file the application seeking approval from RBI to write off the said provision from its balance sheet.
Risk External to the Company:
I. IT business is technology driven and there is a risk of present technology becoming obsolete.
MP: Prism has a channel partner and leading implementation of SAP solutions constantly upgrades its resource with latest technology and encourages technical team to look into futuristic technology through var ious t ra in ing programmes designed and conducted through SAP.
II. Investment by customers in Information Technology is a function of prevailing economic conditions and government policies in their respective country. Any adverse political or economic shift will have a bearing on investment decisions of customers.
MP: Prism is present in India, Srilanka, USA and the Middle east and has thus spread its country specific risk.
III. IT business is subject to attrition
MP: Prism has been a leader in SAP implementation projects in SME segment and offers excellent work experience and knowledge to its employees. This leads to greater work satisfaction as demonstrated by low attrition rate of 14%.
IV. Information Technology business has no entry restriction and thus carries risk of competition:
MP: Prism by its sustained performance has earned a niche position in SME segment for implementation of SAP Solutions and as a channel partner of SAP is a leading reseller of SAP licenses and has thus curved out a place for itself to sustain competition.
V. Risk relating to exchange rate fluctuation
The Company is into IT and IT enabled services which subjects it to foreign exchange exposure. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates might have an impact on the financial performance of the Company.
Marketing Strategies
Our Marketing Strategy revolves not only around the goal of increasing Prism's presence in market by acquiring new clients but also by serving existing client to their complete satisfaction. Modes in which we do marketing are:
a. Email Marketing

Act, 1956 (the “Act”) and in accordance with the accounting principles general accepted in India. This

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with the ethical requirements and
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 fair presentation of the financial statements 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
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

PRISM INFORMATICS LTD.
Annual Report 2013-14
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.

Auditors' Report
Annual Report 2014Prism Informatics Limited
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of the reports of the other auditors on the financial statements / financial information of the subsidiaries referred to below in the Other Matter paragraph, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, except in case of accounts receivable of Rs.14,46,10,602, and unsecured loan of Rs.1,00,00,000 from All state Finance & Leasing Ltd which are subject to confirmation and reconciliation (if any), unbilled revenue Rs 1,94,16,253/- which has been as certified by the management in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:
a) in the case of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of the affairs of the Prism Informatics and its subsidiaries as at 31st March 2014;
b) in the case of the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, of the profit for the year ended on that date; and
c) in the case of the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Other Matter
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 / extra-ordinary item.

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 The Company had also provided some of the inter company 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 / extra ordinary item.

c. Losses from the operations of Prism Inc., Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the company and sale of TLC Technologies INC, subsidiary of Prism Inc results in substantial erosion of capital of Prism Inc. as on date of balance sheet. In the opinion of Management these conditions indicate existence of material uncertainty and may cast significant doubt about the ability of Prism Inc. to continue as a going concern. Hence the carrying amount of investment of the Company in Prism Inc. being Rs. 25,623,329 has been impaired and receivables from TLC Technologies Inc Rs. 16,816,560/- has been provided as doubtful debts and the said impairment and doubtful debts is considered in the exceptional/ Extraordinary items.
