Independent Auditor’s Report

Clarification on Auditors observations is given below:

Basis for Adverse Opinion

1. The Company's financial statements have been prepared using the going concernassumption of accounting. However the Company's accumulated losses of Rs.1828121320/-(including a loss of Rs.104954686/- incurred during the FY 2021-22) has eroded the NetWorth of the Company indicating the existence of material uncertainty that may cast adoubt about the Company's ability to continue as a Going Concern. The Company has notoperated its factory since 2017 and NO sales effected for more than three years. It isalso pertinent to note that power connections in the factory are disabled. Further asrepresented by the company the machineries would involve major overhauling cost to resumeoperations and the company is also unable to obtain support for supply of major rawmaterial required for manufacture from its supplier. Also the company has not bagged anynew orders to substantiate the going concern assumption.

/4s per Standard on Auditing (SA) 570 "If the financial statements have beenprepared using the going concern basis of accounting but in the auditor’s judgmentmanagement’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the financial statementsis inappropriate the requirement in paragraph 21 for the auditor to express an adverseopinion applies regardless of whether or not the financial statements include disclosureof the inappropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis ofaccounting."

Hence considering the cumulative effect of the factors detailed in the above paragraphin the revival of the company we conclude that the Going Concern assumption of themanagement in preparation of financial statements is inappropriate.

2. The Company has not recognized the following financial liability/asset at Fair Valuein terms of IndAS 109 (including comparative figures as of 31st March 2021) and impact ofthe same on the financial Statements is not ascertainable.

i) Amounts due to M/s Fujikura Limited amounting to Rs. 20030600/- (Previous Year-Rs. 19807090/-)

ii) Trade Receivables (considered good) amounting to Rs. 70665510/- (Previous Year-Rs. 71362110/-)

iii) Unsecured Trade Payables amounting to

Rs. 33704875/- (Previous Year -

Rs. 34114712/-).

Emphasis of Matter

1) We draw attention to Note No.28 (Sl.No.22) of the explanatory notes to the financialstatements which states the reason for non-recognition of amounts due to the holdingCompany viz. Telecommunications

Consultants India Limited amounting to Rs.1358129112/- (Previous Year -Rs.1261887189/-) at Fair Value in accordance with

IndAS 109 and impact of the same on the financial statements is not ascertainable andOur opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

2) Attention is invited to Note Nos. 3581415 of the notes to financial statementswhere the balances carried in the debtors creditors advances & deposits payable /recoverable are subject to confirmation from all parties (other than TelecommunicationsConsultants India Limited) as stated in Note No.28 (Sl. No. 2). The impact if any onfinancial statements is not ascertainable and Our opinion is not modified in this respect.

3) Attention is invited to Note No. 28 (Sl. No. 19) of the explanatory notes to thefinancial statements which states that the Company has not received information fromvendors regarding their status under the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises DevelopmentAct 2006. Hence the disclosure relating to amounts unpaid as at the year end togetherwith interest paid / payable under this Act could not be ascertained. Our opinion is notmodified in this respect.

Company’s Reply to Basis of Adverse Opinion Para 1 of Going Concern Assumption.

The requirement of OFC in the country is huge. TCIL and TIDCO to provide orders onnomination basis as both TCIL and Tamilnadu state government have huge orders to implementthe Bhartnet projects. Efforts are being made to obtain Preferential orders from TamilNadu Fibrenet Corporation (TANFINET) State PSU for supplying Optical Fiber Cable inTamilnadu. The DOT discussed in the meeting held on 07.03.2019 with regard to takeover ofTTL by BSNL it is suggested by Ministry to BSNL to utilise the capacity of TTL since BSNLrequirement is 100000 km per annum against TTL capacity of 10000 km per annum. Thereforethe order booking position is expected to be good in the near future. Renowned real estateconsultant has been appointed to monetization of vacant land. Considering the likely orderin the near future and with the promoter's financial support the accounts have beenprepared on Going Concern Basis.

As mentioned in our financials TTL is regularly borrowing from our holding companyTCIL for its raw material support and working capital support for running day to dayoperations. The balances of current liabilities and trade payable pertaining to relatedparty /our holding company TCIL as on 31/03/2022 are given below:

(i) Current liabilities - short term borrowing

Amounts due to Fujikura Limited amounting to Rs.20030600/-

Trade Receivables (considered good) amounting to Rs.70665510/-

Unsecured Trade Payables amounting to Rs.33704875/-

This is to state that the above items are reviewed and monitored on day to day basis inboth TTL and TCIL. The balances are periodically reconciled with TCIL and also approved byboard of directors of TTL.

It may not be out of place to mention that all the realizations from TTL clients arerouted through Escrow account which is auto credited to TCIL's Account for which standinginstructions have been given to bank. Moreover charge has been created in favour of TCILagainst fixed assets and current assets of TTL for all the TCIL loans advances andliabilities towards raw material supply. The loans are repayable on demand basis.

Ind AS 109 requires all financial assets/liabilities to be recognised initially at fairvalue and subsequently at amortised cost it satisfies the criteria with reference to IndAs 32 Para 11 and para 4.2.1 of Ind As 109. Since these financial assets/ liabilities arecurrent in nature there is immaterial finance cost/ income involved therefore as ageneral practice demand deposits are carried at cost and not at fair value/amortisedcost.

In view of the commitment to pay to TCIL the holding company/ related party on demandbasis and the company is taking a conservative approach management assume book value ofcurrent liabilities at a amortized cost i.e instead to book profit by discountingliabilities the company prefers to go and disclose liabilities with full amount under lawof prudence.

Company's Reply to Para 2 of Emphasis of Matter regarding balances carried in thedebtors creditors advances & deposits payable/recoverable are subject toconfirmation from all parties (other than Telecommunications Consultants India Limited)

Wherever possible the Company is getting confirmation. Since TTL does not have fund topay to the Creditor including M/s. Fujikura the company does not ask for balanceconfirmation from any Creditors which will trigger to make payment.

Company's Reply to Para 3 of Emphasis of Matter regarding Company has not receivedinformation from vendors regarding their status under the Micro Small and MediumEnterprises Development Act 2006.

As stated in Notes to Accounts No.19 the Company has not received information from thevendors regarding their status under the Micro Small and Medium Enterprises DevelopmentAct 2006.

Cost Auditors:

As per the provisions of the Companies (Cost Records and Audit) Rules 2014 theoperation of the company is not falling
