CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION, FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUTGO

Conservation of energy:

Your Company is taking continuous efforts towards optimum utilization of the energy resources.

Steps taken for conservation of energy and for utilising alternate sources of energy

•

Lighting energy savers have been installed at various places which have led to significant savings in power usage;

•

Technology Absorption:

It is the Company’s endeavour to deliver its best to the viewers/customers/business partners. Your Company is constantly active in harnessing and tapping the latest and the best technology in the industry. Your Company ensures that its technology continues to grow stronger with every passing year.

The Company has made the following efforts towards technology absorption:

•

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is a video compression standard, a successor to H.264/MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC). HEVC is said to double the data compression ratio compared to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC at the same level of video quality. Alternatively, it can be used to provide substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate. Two of the key features where HEVC was improved compared to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC was support for higher resolution video and improved parallel processing methods, thereby supporting the 8K Ultra High Definition (UHD) TV and resolutions up to 8192×4320.

•

4K resolution, also called 4K, refers to a display device or content having horizontal resolution on the order of 4,000 pixels. Television Industry has adopted Ultra HD 1 [UHD-1] as its 4K standard. Ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV) AKA “UHD-1”, has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 (16:9, 8.3 megapixel or approximately a 1.78:1 aspect ratio) and is one of the two resolutions of ultra high definition television targeted towards consumer television (the other being Full Ultra High Definition which is 7680 pixels × 4320 lines (33.2 megapixels)).

•

UHD has twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of the 1080p HDTV format, with four times as many pixels overall.

LOGO

Consequent upon the efforts made towards the technology absorption the Company has derived the following benefits:

•

HEVC is targeted at next-generation HDTV displays and content capture systems which features progressive scanned frames rates and display resolutions from Quarter Video Graphics Array (320x240) to 4320p (8192x4320), as well as improved picture quality in terms of noise level, colour spaces, and dynamic range.

•

The main advantage of recording video at the 4K standard is that fine spatial detail is resolved well. This contrasts with 2K resolutions in which fine detail in hair is displayed poorly.

Foreign Exchange Earnings and Outgo

During the year under review, there were no earnings in foreign exchange. However, the foreign exchange outgo during the year amounted to Rs. 170.41 million as compared to Rs. 79.07 million for the previous year.

OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND STRATEGIES

Opportunities

Pay TV in India is strongly positioned for extraordinary growth over the next few years with 90-100 million homes coming up for grabs by DTH and digital cable operators, as the Government rolls out its digitalization mandate across the country.

Your Company is well positioned to benefit from this and would take a large share of this opportunity, as we have in the past. With strong economic growth outlook for India, overall media sector should grow robustly in the years to come. This will help grow ARPU, TV penetration and increase HD uptake leading to strong revenue growth for Pay TV in general and the Company in particular.

Your Company continues to be the fastest growing Pay TV operator in India, with roughly 20% DTH net subscriber market share in March 2015 up from 9% four years ago. Last year the Company continued to lead the market in gross subscriber additions as well as incremental net subscribers for the fourth consecutive year.

The Company is also seeing strong pick up in HD subscriber base. In fiscal 2015, almost 35% of incremental subscribers opted for HD service. HD subscribers now represent almost 10% of total net subscriber base. The Company expects HD penetration to increase in the coming year, with attendant impact on ARPU.

The Company believes it maintains its competitive advantage for several reasons, including:

•

Newest technology enjoyed by all subscribers (MPEG4 DVB S2), more compression and bandwidth advantage, and thus more channels and HD offerings.

•

Largest distribution network with over 150,000 retail outlets around the country serving new customers and convenient recharges.

•

Greatest focus on customer service; only Pay TV operator with captive service network, 97% of new subscribers get installed on the same day.

•

Unique control of box supply chain and R&D with development of local manufacturing capabilities.

Threats

•

More and more subscribers churning out from Company’s platform and the Company is unable to recover the hardware installed at consumer premises resulting into loss of revenue as well as hardware.

•

A significant portion of the Company’s operations are currently located in a single digital broadcast center in Noida, India.

•

The Company relies on third parties to provide it with programming and any increase in programming costs or new regulations may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

•

The Company faces immense competition.

2	Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

F-2

3	Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. 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 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 financial control relevant to the Company’s preparation of the 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 whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company’s Directors, 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 on the financial statements.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2015, and its loss and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

5	Emphasis of Matters

We draw attention to Note No. 37 to the financial statements. The Company has incurred a net loss of Rs. 3,925.52 million during the year, the accumulated losses as at March 31, 2015 amounted to Rs. 25,240.06 million and the net worth of the Company has been substantially eroded. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to fund its operating and capital expenditure requirements. The management is confident of mobilizing necessary resources for continuing the operations and generating cash flow from business operations by increasing subscribers’ base. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
