Transforming nations. Management Discussion and Analysis | Management Reports | Financial Statements CORE Education & Technologies Ltd. | 1 management discussion & analysis Economic Overview Global growth is forecast at 3.5 percent in 2015 and 3.8 percent in 2016, with uneven prospects across the main countries and regions. Growth in emerging market economies is softening, reflecting an adjustment to diminished medium-term growth expectations and lower revenues from commodity exports, as well as country-specific factors. The outlook for advanced economies is showing signs of improvement, owing to the boost to disposable incomes from lower oil prices, continued support from accommodative monetary policy stances, and more moderate fiscal adjustment. The distribution of risks to near-term global growth has become more balanced relative to October 2014 but is still tilted to the downside. The decline in oil prices could boost activity more than expected. Geopolitical tensions continue to pose threats, and risks of disruptive shifts in asset prices remain relevant. In some advanced economies, protracted low inflation or deflation also pose risks to activity. Regional Highlights Growth in the United States and Canada remains solid. However, while lower energy prices have boosted growth momentum in the United States, they pose downside risks to the Canadian economy owing to the relatively large size of its energy sector. In the United States, labor markets and business and consumer confidence have shown solid improvements. The economy has also so far been resilient to the weaker external conditions and the strengthening dollar. The next prominent policy challenge will be a smooth normalization of monetary policy. Building political consensus around a medium term fiscal consolidation plan and supply-side reforms to boost medium-term growth—including simplifying the tax system, investing in infrastructure and human capital, and immigration reform— will continue to be a challenge. In Canada, continued monetary policy accommodation and gradual fiscal consolidation would help achieve growth that is more balanced and more broadly based. There are signs of a pickup and some positive momentum in the euro area, reflecting lower oil prices and supportive financial conditions, but risks of prolonged low growth and low inflation remain. The priority is to boost growth and inflation through a comprehensive approach that, in addition to quantitative easing, features the use of available fiscal space, especially for investment; productivity-

Page 2: Annual Report 2014

enhancing structural reforms; and steps to strengthen bank balance sheets. Growth is more robust in European advanced economies outside the euro area, but some of these economies may need to tighten macro prudential policies if housingrelated risks do not subside Asia’s growth is forecast to hold steady in 2015, and the region is expected to continue outperforming the rest of the world over the medium term. While the Chinese economy is shifting to a more sustainable pace, growth is projected to pick up elsewhere in the region. This reflects the boost from lower world oil prices, strengthening external demand, and still-accommodative financial conditions despite some recent tightening. Risks are two sided, but downside risks dominate. Elevated household and corporate debt amid higher real interest rates and a strong U.S. dollar could amplify shocks. Growth risks from within the region are also on the rise, and realignments of the major reserve currencies could create an uncomfortable trade-off between financial stability and competitiveness. Policymakers should maintain prudent frameworks and build buffers to enhance resilience, and implement reforms to support demand rebalancing and relieve bottlenecks to growth. Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean slowed to 1.3 percent in 2014 and is projected to soften to an even lower rate in 2015. The downturn in global commodity markets remains the main drag on activity in South America, even though lower oil prices and a solid U.S. recovery provide a boost to other parts of the region. Low business and consumer confidence in Brazil and the intensifying economic crisis in Venezuela weigh further on the near-term outlook. Flexible exchange rates can play a critical role in adapting to tougher external conditions, but policymakers will also need to ensure prudent fiscal positions are in place and catch up on structural reforms to raise investment and productivity. Industry Structure & Development The market for global education expenditures could top $6.3 trillion by 2017, according to estimates. This includes various education sectors like e-learning, edu-gaming, social/learning communities, test prep, language and others ranging from early education and K-12 through to post secondary, higher education and corporate learning. Currently the market is worth $4.4 trillion, and poised to grow significantly over the next five years. The e-learning market is projected to grow by 23 percent between now and 2017, making it the fastest-growing market in education. In dollar terms, this translates into $166.5 billion in 2012 and $255 billion in 2017. The education industry comprises the entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations which are playing an increasingly important and essential role in supporting public education by meeting the demand for products and services that both complement and supplement public education. These include after-school tutoring providers, school improvement and management services, charter schools, alternative education and special education services, professional development for teachers and administrators, educational content providers and suppliers, as well as the rapidly growing sector of online education. The Education Industry is changing – social & economic pressures are forcing senior education leaders to rethink business models and consider a range of new technologies, to bring down the cost of administering education institutions and scale the business, according to research from Gartner, Inc. 2 | Annual Report 2014-15 Educational technology holds the promise of substantially improving outcomes for K-12 students, but there are significant challenges in bringing new educational technology products for this population to market. It is difficult for producers of these technologies to demonstrate the effectiveness of their products to potential buyers and market fragmentation creates barriers to entry by all but the largest suppliers. Technological enhancements in the Industry, like, Online learning, also known as e-learning, is booming. Market research firm Global Industry Analysts projects it will reach $107 billion in 2015. More traditional methods of training or education are not going away, not yet, but

Page 3: Annual Report 2014

organizations of all types, from public schools to corporations, are opting to train and inform via the web. Initiatives undertaken by various Countries The U.S. Department of Education has developed several important federally-funded initiatives that impact high schools. The National High School Center provides synthesized information to help educators understand U.S. Department of Education guidelines for these initiatives, resources to help identify funding, and resources to track how the funds are currently being allocated. To deliver an excellent education to every child and to ensure U.S. global competitiveness, President Obama has set the goal of having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020. Though ambitious, this goal is attainable through bold reform and innovation spanning the education pipeline from early learning to college. President Obama emphasized the importance of everyone is entitled to the best education possible – from the day they start preschool to the day they start their career. Some of the schemes being implemented are: a) Helping Early Learners b) Making College more affordable c) Higher Education should not be a luxury d) Preparing kids for success e) Supporting great Teacher Another initiative is The state-led effort to develop the Common Core State Standards was launched in 2009 by state leaders, including governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, two territories and the District of Columbia, through their membership in the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). State school chiefs and governors recognized the value of consistent, real-world learning goals and launched this effort to ensure all students, regardless of where they live, are graduating high school prepared for college, career, and life. The development of the Common Core State Standards is a success story of meaningful, state-led change to help all students succeed. During the development process, the standards were divided into two categories: • First, the college- and career-readiness standards, which address what students are expected to know and understand by the time they graduate from high school. • Second, the K-12 standards, which address expectations for elementary school through high school. The college- and career-readiness standards were developed first and then incorporated into the K-12 standards in the final version of the Common Core we have today. The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) received nearly 10,000 comments on the standards during two public comment periods. Many of the comments from teachers, parents, school administrators, and other citizens concerned with education policy helped shape the final version of the standards. As of August 2015, 42 states, the Department of Defense Education Activity, Washington D.C., Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands have adopted the CCSS in ELA/literacy and math. They are now in the process of implementing the standards locally. In UK the Public spending on education grew rapidly during the 2000s. Over the decade between 1999–2000 and 2009–10, it grew by 5.1% per year in real terms, the fastest growth over any decade since the mid- 1970s. As a result, it rose from 4.5% of national income in 1999– 2000 to reach a high point of 6.4% in 2009–10. Going forwards, we estimate that public spending on education in the UK will fall by 3.5% per year in real terms between 2010–11 and 2014–15. This would represent the largest cut in education spending over any four-year period since at least the 1950s, and would return education spending as a share of national income back to 4.6% by 2014–15. Making India the skill capital of the world is one of the visions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While this will be a journey, the Union Budget 2015 does provide an opportunity for the government to bring to the forefront policies and initiatives that will be undertaken to achieve the vision. A Deloitte study has recognised the Indian education sector as a ‘sunrise sector’ for investments.

Page 4: Annual Report 2014

This is because the sector offers huge potential to investors in the regulated as well as non-regulated markets. The education market in India, which is at present valued around $150 billion, is headed for a major leap forward in the years to come. As a percentage of GDP, expenditure on education has gone up from 2.9% in 2008-09 to approximately 3.4% in 2014-15. Compare this with the Kothari Commission (set up in 1964-65) and National Education Policy recommendation suggestion of allocating 6 percent of GDP towards education. Statistics reveal that the allocation to the education sector received a 17 percent jump for fiscal year 2013-14 and approximately 12.5 percent for fiscal year 2014-15. However, it is still inadequate considering the sectoral requirement. In the above background, some of the key expectations of the Education sector from the forthcoming budget are summarised below: Encouraging private investment in the sector: While significant operators in primary and secondary education sector operate on ‘not for profit’ basis, this aspect has impact and creates challenges in creating further infrastructure in the sector. In order to encourage investment in the sector, the government may contemplate encouraging private investment in this area along with devising mechanism wherein the investor is entitled to an agreed share of return on investment – akin to what has been prescribed for certain infrastructure projects like the power sector. Encouraging education tourism: Education tourism could be the next opportunity for India. Policies could be formulated that focus in this direction. India can well be seen as being intellectual capital of the world. Affordable education loan/finance facility: The government should recognise the need for facilitating affordable education loan/finance facility by setting up institutions/education finance corporations that provide easy finance at concessional rates. Schemes could be devised to extend credit facilities for higher education without surety/indemnity by the government, repayable upon securing of job by the student. Management Discussion and Analysis | Management Reports | Financial Statements CORE Education & Technologies Ltd. | 3 Incentives for enrollment to skill development courses: Enrollment for skill development courses should be eligible for additional deductions in computing taxable income. Policy Initiatives The extant foreign direct investment policy and the regulations governing education system need to be aligned to generate opportunities and encourage foreign capital and improve infrastructure in education sector. Incentive towards staff training and development: Tax incentives/ relief could be extended to universities/institutions that incur expenditure towards staff training and development. Deduction towards tuition fees: Considering the inflation and the rising cost of education, taxpayers should be entitled to a deduction of an adequate sum against gross total income for fees paid to a higher educational institution recognised by the government. This will ease the hardship of common man. The links between early childhood care and education are strong and mutually reinforcing. Early childhood care and education services help build skills at a time when children’s brains are developing, with long-term benefits for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. In Jamaica, for example, infants who were stunted and from disadvantaged backgrounds receiving weekly psychosocial stimulation were earning 42% more than their peers by their early 20s. Since 2000, pre-primary education has expanded considerably. The global pre-primary education gross enrolment ratio increased from 33% in 1999 to 50% in 2011, although it reached only 18% in Sub-Saharan Africa. The number of children enrolled in pre-primary schools grew by almost 60 million over the period. In many parts of the world, however, there is a wide gap in enrolment between the richest and poorest. Part of the reason is that governments have yet to assume sufficient responsibility for pre-primary education: as of 2011, private providers were catering for 33% of all enrolled children, rising to 71% in the Arab States. The cost of

Page 5: Annual Report 2014

private provision is one of the factors that contribute to inequity in access at this level. A lack of attention to education quality and a failure to reach the marginalized have contributed to a learning crisis that needs urgent attention. Worldwide, 250 million children – many of them from disadvantaged backgrounds – are not learning even basic literacy and numeracy skills, let alone the further skills they need to get decent work and lead fulfilling lives. This learning crisis has costs not only for the future ambitions of children, but also for the current finances of governments. The cost of 250 million children not learning the basics is equivalent to US$129 billion, or 10% of global spending on primary education. Curriculum and Assessment Strategies to improve Learning To improve learning for all children, teachers need the support of curriculum and assessment strategies that can reduce disparities in school achievement and offer all children and young people the opportunity to acquire vital transferable skills. Such strategies need to build strong foundation skills by starting early, moving at the right pace, enabling disadvantaged pupils to catch up, meeting the language needs of ethnic minorities and building a culture of reading. Curricula need to address issues of inclusion to enhance the chances of students from marginalized backgrounds to learn effectively. Where gender-responsive curricula have been developed, as in projects in Mumbai, India and in Honduras, test scores measuring attitudes on several gender-related issues improved. In Honduras, adolescents who participated in the project also demonstrated better problem-solving skills and higher test scores. More needs to be done to design curricula that pay attention to the needs of disabled learners. In Canberra, Australia, curriculum reform aims to help teachers improve student attitudes regarding students with disabilities, improve the quality of interactions between students with and without disabilities, and enhance the wellbeing and academic achievement of students with disabilities. Classroom-based assessment tools can help teachers identify, monitor and support learners at risk of low achievement. In Liberia, the EGRA Plus project, which trained teachers in the use of classroom-based assessment tools and provided reading resources and scripted lesson plans to guide instruction, raised previously low levels of reading achievement among grade 2 and 3 pupils. Assessments need to be aligned with the curriculum so that they do not add significantly to teachers’ workloads. In South Africa, well-designed assessments with clear guidelines on how to interpret results helped teachers with little training who were working in difficult conditions: 80% of teachers were able to use them in class. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The enrolment of students has been marginally improving as per the chart below. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics. (2015) The enrolments for the 2014 & subsequently in 2015 are expected to be better than the last few years. Five Key Education Priorities for the Obama Administration Improving Accountability in Public Education The accountability systems put in place by No Child Left Behind have had some positive effects, but not enough to meet the goal of all students reaching proficiency standards by 2014. The five recommended policy actions to improve the system. 4 | Annual Report 2014-15 Increasing Participation in No Child Left Behind School Choice No Child Left Behind gave students in low-performing schools the opportunity to switch schools, but relatively few use the option. Research suggests that this reform’s power to induce educational improvement is limited at this time. Designing Effective Pay-for-Performance in K-12 Education While there is some evidence that paying educators for performance works, there are many challenges to adopting such systems in the United States. Promoting Effective Preschool Programs High-quality preschool education helps increase school readiness and close achievement gaps for children at risk; however, access varies greatly. Federal policymakers could allocate funds to support states in improving preschool quality and access for the

Page 6: Annual Report 2014

most disadvantaged children. The Role of Charter Schools in Improving Education Despite controversy, the number of charter schools is increasing. Research finds that charter schools do not produce some of the predicted negative effects, and they may have positive effects on student attainment. UK Market 8.4 million Pupils enrolled in state-funded and independent schools in England. 1.3 Percentage growth in pupils numbers since January 2014. This increase is larger than in previous years and is driven largely by a 2.1 per cent increase in the number of pupils in state-funded primary schools. The number of pupils in state-funded secondary schools rose by 0.1 per cent, the first rise since 2010. UK Government has been increasing the expenditure in the Education & training space consistently over the years. UK faces desperate shortage of science and maths teachers- More than 100,000 secondary school pupils will be taught maths and science by teachers untrained in the subjects because of a chronic shortage of new recruits. The shortfall in expertise will discourage sixth-formers from studying the disciplines – which have been identified by the Education Secretary Michael Gove as “national strategic priorities” – at A-level. India Market The education sector in India is at a vital stage of its growth. The vast diversity in ethnicities coupled with varying demographics has prompted different players to invest in the sector. Meanwhile, the upward surge in the Indian economy and consequent increase in income levels has aided the spending on education in the average Indian household. It is expected that the Indian education sector’s market size will increase to ` 602,410 crore (US$ 100.23 billion) by FY15 from ` 341,180 crore (US$ 56.77 billion) in FY12, due to the expected strong demand for quality education. The present Indian higher education system comprises of about 700 universities and over 35,500 colleges. More than 85 percent of these students are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programmes and about one-sixth of all Indian students are enrolled in Engineering/Technology degree programmes. To increase the percentage of students going for higher education to 30 percent by 2020, India will need 800 more universities and another 35,000 colleges, according to the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD). Vocational Training Business A huge population base - India will have 22 million young people entering the workforce every year from 2015 - and a changing social dynamic, when organised employment expands rapidly, are hugely important drivers of Vocational Business in India. Only in recent years has the government realized the enormity of the challenge and endeavoured to overcome the same through various initiatives. Under the Prime Minister’s National Skill Development Mission, the government has launched an initiative to train 500 million people by the year 2022. Further, the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) was created in order to streamline the identification and mapping of skills requirements, facilitate private participation through grants, gap funding, etc. The Government has undertaken multiple measures to address some of the problems mentioned in the earlier chapter, through such measures as: NSDA: The NSDA comprises the PM’s National Council on Skill Development (NCSD), the National Skill Development Board (NSDCB) and the NSDC. It oversees and directs the efforts taken vis-à-vis skill development by both the Government and the private sector, in a bid to fulfill the skilling target set under the 12th Five Year Plan. Sector Skill Councils (SSC): SSCs are initiatives born out of Public- Private Partnerships (PPPs). In addition to facilitating capacity building, the SSCs Management Discussion and Analysis | Management Reports | Financial Statements CORE Education & Technologies Ltd. | 5 also define the structure, levels, and benchmarks of training for each industry. This will help achieve consistency in the imparted training, aside from ensuring an ease of employment, and a portability of skills. In the year 2015- 2016 the number of SSC has increased from 8 to 22 and it is expected to increase to 50 by 2022. National Vocational Education Qualification

Page 7: Annual Report 2014

Framework (NVEQF): The NVEQF is a recently-launched initiative which is to be implemented in polytechnics, engineering colleges, and other institutions, across the country. A seven level certification program, starting from 9th standard/ grade, will be initiated in the various vocational training disciplines, culminating in a degree at the end of the seventh year. The Modular Employable Scheme (MES): It is being implemented by the Ministry of Labor and Employment as part of their Skill Development Initiative (SDI). The key objective of MES is to recognize and certify the prior learning of existing workers. MES offers short-term modular courses to school dropouts and existing wage earners and facilitates certification for skills and learning gained informally. National Service Scheme (NSS): The NSS has been proposed as an agent of change which engages students in skill development projects alongside other stakeholders in the society like academia, industry, and social organizations like NGOs and foundations. The pilot is expected to cover 30,000 students over a three-year period, eventually impacting 3.2 million students across universities, colleges, and secondary schools in the country. Further to the above mentioned initiatives, Government introduced many scheme this year like (a) National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM), to develop the skills of urban youth and make them market ready workers/ professionals (b) Deen Dayal Upadhyay-Gramin Kausjal Yojna under National Rural Livelihood Mission, to ensure livelihood of poor urban youth through skill development (c) Pradhanmantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna (PMKVY), this scheme provides a small term skill development course and help youth in getting jobs (d) State Project Livelihood Colleges (SPLC), to meet the long-term need of skilled youth these colleges are taking shape (e) Hunar Se Rozgar Scheme, this scheme also generates employability through skill development. 6 | Annual Report 2014-15 directors’ report Dear Members, Your Directors have pleasure in presenting the 30th Annual Report of your Company along with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2015.

As reported last year, the Company’s CDR proposal was approved by the CDR EG. The approved proposal envisaged an investment of ` 100 crores from a prospective joint venture partner. In spite of the Company’s best efforts, such a joint venture did not happen, as a result of which it was decided to withdraw the CDR proposal. The withdrawal is at present under consideration with the CDR EG. Consequent to the withdrawal, your Company’s management continues its efforts to revive the operations by pursuing all alternatives available to it. Disposal of non-core assets, divestment of the company’s overseas subsidiaries and a continued sustained search for an appropriate joint venture partner are part of these efforts. Recovery of dues on various government and other projects is also under way, both thru commercial and legal means. In view of these continued and sustained efforts, your Directors have thought it fit to draw up the Company’s accounts on a “going concern” basis, as observed by the Statutory Auditors’ in their Audit Report. Your Company achieved a total operating income of 3,437.56

Page 8: Annual Report 2014

million as compared to` 6,275.32 million during the previous financial year with a loss of 10,746.68 million as compared to a loss of 5,254.16 million during the previous financial year. Loss after tax was 10,746.68 million as compared to` 5,021.32 million during the previous financial year. The losses are mainly attributed towards the writing off of Trade receivables and Impairment of IPRS and also for providing for impairment in the value of investments in the subsidiary companies. On the exports and overseas operations, many customers had raised quality issues relating to assessment and intervention segment of the products. As reported last year, a management committee was formed to analyse and suggest the future course of action. Based on its findings, the committee had decided to write off INRs 1,769. 92 million, last year and make efforts to recover the rest. Based on the developments during the year under report, a further amount of INRs 1,730.49 has been written off in the current year. As part of its annual exercise, the management also reviewed the carrying value of its IPR. Technological changes, adoption of new standards in the USA and fast changing student behavioural patterns have shortened the life of a lot of hitherto long term products. Based on an analysis of the current demand and relevance for our products, the Company has decided to write down the value of its IPR. Therefore, management has made provisions for impairment of 3,287.84 million as compared to 1,291.52 million in the previous year, towards the carrying cost of such IPRs and treated an exceptional item. The operations of the overseas subsidiaries have also suffered due to the above reasons. The revenues in USA subsidiaries have reduced to INRs 2,843.35 million from 5,459.59 million in FY 13. The carrying value of IPR in the subsidiaries has also reduced substantially due to reasons mentioned above. In view of this, the value of investments in the subsidiaries has eroded substantially. An amount of INRs 4,052.99 million has been provisioned during the current year to provide for such erosion. To mitigate the financial stress, the Company has taken various steps including cost cutting exercise and bidding for low capital intensive projects with high margin. Also rationalization is done in terms of number of employees. The No. Of employees have reduced to 124 from 277. A fire accident occurred on 18th July, 2014 at the Corporate office of the Company situated at 10th Floor, Lotus Business Park ,Off Link Road, Andheri (West), Mumbai - 400 053. Because of this incident the Company has lost some important data, both in the physical & the digital form though there are no major financial losses other than damage to property. The Company is in the process of assessing the extent of the damage caused to the data and rebuilding/recoupment of such data. Dividends and Appropriations In view of the losses incurred, your Directors do not recommend any dividend for the financial year 2014-15. Transfer to reserves There are no transfer of funds to General Reserves during the financial year 2014-15. Changes in Capital Structure There is no change in Capital Structure of the Company during the year under review.

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 thereunder. 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 judgement, 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. 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.

Emphasis of Matter We invite attention to the following notes: a) Note No. 37 (b) of the accompanying financial statement of the company in respect of increase in its overdue trade receivable, default in repayment of its dues to lenders and debenture holders, salary arrears and arrears of statutory dues, etc., which indicates the existing of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability continue as going concern. As informed to us by management, the Empowered Group of Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Cell has admitted the Company’s application under the CDR Scheme. The company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent, interalia on the successful outcome of its application under CDR scheme and timely recovery of the trade receivable. On the basis of its strong expectation of the successful outcome of its CDR application, and other reason stated in the aforesaid Notes, the company has prepared the accompanying financial the statements on going concern assumption. b) Note No. 37(c ) of the accompanying financial statements of the Company relating to9 the termination order received from Haryana Government for the ICT Project and invocation of bank guarantee of ` 295,000,000.

The matter, being sub-judice pending the outcome of the legal proceedings, no adjustment has been made to the carrying value of receivables of ` 748,319,014/- and of the fixed assets of ` 1,002,144,968/- at this stage, for this project. c) Note No 37(d) of the accompanying financial statements of the Company relating to trade receivables which have remained overdue for extended period of time. In the opinion of the management, these are fully recoverable. The Company has received year-end balance confirmations from these trade receivables and accordingly no provision is deemed necessary by the Company. Our opinion is not qualified in

Page 31: Annual Report 2014

respect of these matters d) Debtors of ` 2,406,489,894 from subsidiaries are outstanding for more than 2 years. These debtors are 50.12% of the total debtors and there is an uncertainty regarding their recovery. e) Since the external liability of the Company are very high and due to increase in its overdue trade receivables, default in repayment of its dues to lenders and debenture holders and arrears of statutory dues., etc.,. The current liabilities of the Company are far exceeding the current assets of the Company which clearly indicates the existence of material uncertainty that may cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As informed to us by the management the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) application has also been rejected under the CDR scheme. In view of the exit from CDR there is an intrinsic risk to the continuing of operation on a going concern basis. Our opinion is qualified in respect of points d and e above.

(ii) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statement and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Any revision to accounting estimates and or difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates is recognized in the period in which the results are known. (iii) Tangible Fixed Assets All fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost is inclusive of freight, duties, levies and any directly attributable cost of bringing the assets to their present working condition. Capital Work-in-Progress represents cost of fixed assets that are not yet ready for their intended use as at the Balance sheet date. (iv) Intangible Assets Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and software Licences which have been separately paid for and put to use are shown under “Fixed Assets” in the Balance Sheet. Expenses incurred for software product development are expensed as incurred unless technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software and the costs can be measured reliably. Such expenses for acquiring intellectual property rights & licenses for projects under development on balance sheet date are shown under Capital Work-in-Process. (v) Depreciation Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on the basis of useful lives as per Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, except depreciation on assets used in BOOT projects which are depreciated equally over the period of respective projects, depreciation on foreign branch assets has been provided at the rates followed under the relevant law of the foreign country which are: Computers 5%; Furniture & Fixture 5% and Computer Software are amortized over 5 years. (vi) Impairment of Assets An asset is treated as impaired when the carrying cost of assets exceeds its recoverable value. An impairment loss, if any is charged to the Profit and Loss Account in the year in which an asset is identified as impaired. The impairment loss recognized in prior accounting period is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate of recoverable amount. (vii) Leases (a) Lease arrangement, where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vests with the lessor, are recognized as operating leases. Lease payments under operating lease are recognized as an expense in the profit & loss account. Operating lease rentals are expensed with reference to lease term and other considerations. (b) The lower of the fair value of the assets and present fair value of the minimum lease rentals is capitalised as fixed assets with corresponding amount shown as lease liability. The principal component in the lease rental is adjusted against the lease liability and the interest component is charged to profit and loss account. (viii) Foreign Currency Transactions a) Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of transactions. b) Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the year end are restated

Page 35: Annual Report 2014

at year end rates. c) Non-monetary foreign currency items are carried at cost. d) In respect of foreign operations, which are non-integral operations, all assets and liabilities, both monetary and non-monetary, are translated at closing rate, while all income and expenses are translated at average exchange rate for the year. The resulting exchange differences are accumulated in the ‘Foreign Currency Translation Reserve’. e) Any income or expense on account of exchange difference either on settlement translation or restatement, is recognized in the profit and loss account. (ix) Investments Current investments are carried at the lower of the cost and fair market value. Long-term investments are stated at cost. Cost includes costs incidental to acquisition such as legal costs, investment banking fees etc. Provision for diminution in the value of long-term investments is made only if such a decline is other than temporary. (x) Inventories The portion of the Software development contracts which has remained unbilled, though partly completed is inventorised as “Software Development – Work-in-Process.” The aggregate of ‘Software Development’ income and the inventories viz. “Software Development – Work-in-Process” is restricted to the contract value or the net realizable value of the work completed or the cost, whichever is less. For this purpose, manpower cost of the software development team and other directly attributable costs are considered for valuation. (xi) Revenue Recognition Our revenues for software development, both domestic and international, are generated primarily on fixed time frame and time and material basis. Revenue from software services under fixed-price contracts is recognized to the extent of billings due on achievement of milestones specified in the agreement. The expenditure incurred on unbilled services are inventoried. On time-and-materials contracts, revenue is recognized as the related services are rendered. Revenue from the sale of user licenses for software applications is recognized on transfer of the title in the user license. Revenue from ICT contracts which are on BOOT/ BOO basis are recognized equally over the contract period post implementation of contract. Revenues in case of hardware and software trading are recognized as and when these are delivered. (xii) Employee Benefits a) Short-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the profit and loss account of the year in which the related service is rendered. Management Discussion and Analysis | Management Reports | Financial Statements CORE Education & Technologies Ltd. | 41 b) In respect of Indian operations of the Company, postemployment and other long-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense in the profit and loss account for the year in which the employee has rendered services. The expense is recognized at the present value of the amount payable determined using actuarial valuation techniques. Actuarial gains and losses in respect of post employment and other long-term benefits are charged to the profit and loss account. c) In respect of employee stock options, the intrinsic value of the options, i.e. the excess of market price of the underlying share on the date of the grant over the exercise price of the option is accounted as deferred employee compensation cost to be amortized over the vesting period. (xiii) Borrowing Cost Borrowing costs that are specifically attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of such asset till such time as the asset is ready for its intended use. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily requires/takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs, i.e. not specifically attributable to the qualifying asset are charged to revenue in the period in which those are incurred. (xiv) Taxes on Income Current Income Tax comprises of taxes on income from operations in India and in foreign jurisdictions. Income tax liability in India is determined and provided in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred tax resulting from “timing differences” between taxable income and accounting income is

Page 36: Annual Report 2014

accounted for using the tax rates and laws that are enacted or substantively enacted as on the balance sheet date. The deferred tax asset is recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is a virtual certainty that the asset will be realized in future. (xv) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources. Contingent Liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes. Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the financial statements. (xvi) Derivative Contracts In respect of derivative contracts, premium paid, gain/loss on settlement and provision for losses on restatement are recognised along with the underlying transactions and charged to Statement of Profit and Loss. (xvii) Research and Development Costs (a) Research costs are expensed as incurred. (b) Development costs including costs paid to third parties for technical knowhow, content etc. for software/content development are expensed as incurred, unless the technical and commercial feasibility of the project is demonstrated, future economic benefits are probable, the Company has an intention and ability to complete and use or sell the software/content and the costs can be measured reliably. Costs of such projects upon completion are classified as Intellectual property rights under intangible assets and amortised. Costs of such projects under development on balance sheet date are shown under Intangible assets under development. (c) Research and development expenditure of a capital nature is included in the fixed assets. (d) The carrying value of development costs is reviewed for impairment annually when the asset is not yet in use, and otherwise when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 42 | Annual Report 2014-15 (Amount in `) As at 31st March, 2015 As at 31st March, 2014 1 - Share Capital Authorised: 250,000,000 (Previous year 250,000,000 ) equity shares of ` 2/- each. 500,000,000 500,000,000 500,000,000 500,000,000 Issued, Subscribed and Paid-up: 114,483,826 (Previous year 114,483,826 ) equity shares of ` 2/- each fully paid-up. 228,967,652 228,967,652 Total 228,967,652 228,967,652 (Amount in `) Reconciliation of the no. of shares outstanding at the beginning and at the end of the year: For the year ended on 31st March, 2015 No. of shares For the year ended on 31st March, 2014 No. of shares No. of Equity Shares outstanding at the beginning of the year 114,483,826 114,483,826 Add: Additional Equity Shares issued during the year - on conversion of FCCB - - - on exercise of ESOP - - No. of Equity Shares outstanding at the end of the year 114,483,826 114,483,826 i) Number of Equity Shares held by each shareholder holding more than 5% shares in the Company are as follows: Particulars Number of shares as at 31st March, 2015 % Number of shares as at 31st March, 2014 % Wisdom Global Enterprises Limited 14,322,645 12.51% 19,479,666 17.02% Core Infrapower Limited 5,200,000 4.54% 5,200,000 4.54% Translands Infrastructure Developer Pvt.

Hence the company has made provision as per AS -13 for dimunition in the value of Investments totalling to ` 4,052,948,378 as on 31st March 2015. Receivables w/off During the year, customers have raised quality issues relating to assessment and intervention segment of the products. A management committee was formed to analyise and suggest the future course of action. Customers in this segment would, generally make additional improvements on the products sold to them and further sell the upgraded/final product to their customers. During

Page 49: Annual Report 2014

negotiations, these customers have alleged that due to defective products supplied by CORE, they have lost their contracts with reputed clients and have claimed compensation. To avoid the legal claims and disputes in future and to have continuity in overseas operations, the committee has decided to write off the receivables of ` 1,730,436,995 and settle with customers. IPR Impairment: During the year, management has reviewed the carrying value of it’s IPR in view of the adoption of Common Core States Standard Initiative(CCSSI) in the United States of America (USA) where these assets were substantially used. The CCSSI is an education initiative in the USA that seeks to establish consistent education standards across the states as well as ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared to either two or four year college programs or enter the workforce. Prior to the CCSSI, each state had its own education standards and Company had the required resources and capability to deliver the solutions. However with the change in regulations and requirements, company has been investing in upgrading to the CCSSI to deliver the solutions consistently and as per requirement. With the CCSSI now in place, all the old products of the company that were aligned to the erstwhile State Standards have become partially redundant. Whilst the erstwhile State Standards will run parallel with the CCSSI for a few years, thus making the old products still commercially relevant, the company has, out of abundant caution, and with a NOTES forming part of the Financial Statements Management Discussion and Analysis | Management Reports | Financial Statements CORE Education & Technologies Ltd. | 63 conservative view, decided to fully write down these products. Management has made provision for impairment of ` 3,287,844,535 towards the carrying cost of such IPRs which has been treated as exceptional item. The IPRs aligned to CCSI are carried at cost. (b) Going Concern: The Company’s finances continued to be under stress which is evident from decrease in sales revenue, increase in overdue trade receivables and payables, salary arrears and arrears of statutory dues, over dues (interest and repayment of borrowings) of banks, financial institutions and finance lease obligations. To mitigate the financial stress, the company has taken various steps including cost cutting exercise and opted for Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) plan which has been admitted and is subject to final approval from its lenders. Also, during the year a promoter company has infused ` 51,20,80,907 as an advance under the aforesaid restructuring Plan. The management is confident of approval of the restructuring package of the loans under CDR, improve the operating margins and collection from trade receivables. Despite there being possible material uncertainty in this regard, management is confident of meeting its financial obligations. and hence, these financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern assumption. (c) Haryana ICT The company had entered into a contract with the State of Haryana on 25.03.2011 to install and maintain computer labs in 2,622 schools under the ICT program. The project was completed as per the contract and the maintenance part of the contract was in operation since last couple of years. Due to various reasons, chief among them being non-receipt of payments from the State Government, the company had partially ceased to service the contract during the year. In spite of on-going negotiations taking place between the company and the State Governments to revive the project, the company received a termination order from the State on 23.04.2014 and forfeiture of bank guarantee of ` 29,50,00,000. The company filed a Special Leave Petition with the Supreme Court on 28.04.2014 and in response to which the Supreme Court granted a stay on the termination Order and forfeiture of bank guarantee for a period of 3 weeks. The stay is currently in operation. The company believes that it has strong case in this matter. Pending outcome of the legal proceedings, no adjustment has been made to the carrying value as at 31st March, 2015 of receivables of ` 74,83,19,014 and of the

Page 50: Annual Report 2014

fixed assets of ` 100,21,44,968 at this stage, for this project. (d) Trade receivable overdue for more than six months period includes ` 4,655,855,013 dues from customers in assessment segment. Based on the discussion with the customers, management is confident of recovering the dues. The customers have confirmed the year end balances and therefore no provision for doubtfull debts is considered necessary at this stage. Out of the total Debtors of ` 4,801,085,391 debtors of ` 1,898,559,608 are receivable from the subsidiaries (e) Company had purchased computer equipments for ICT projects on financial lease and has taken term loan from Hewlett Packard Financial Services (India) Private Limited (HPFS). During the year, a restructuring agreement has been entered into and a repayment schedule has been restructured for both finance lease and the loan as a consolidated amount. In the absence of breakup of future repayments of lease and loan, the disclosures pertaining to finance lease obligations has not been made. (f) In the opinion of the Board of Directors, other current assets have a value on realisation in the ordinary course of the company’s business, which is at least to the amount at which they are stated in the balance sheet.

(iv) Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statement and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Any revision to accounting estimates and or difference, if any, between the actual results and estimates is recognized in the period in which the results are known.

Hence the company has made provision as per AS -13 for dimunition in the value of Investments totalling to ` 4,052,948,378 as on 31st March 2015. Receivables w/off During the year, customers have raised quality issues relating to

Page 66: Annual Report 2014

assessment and intervention segment of the products. A management committee was formed to analyise and suggest the future course of action. Customers in this segment would, generally make additional improvements on the products sold to them and further sell the upgraded/final product to their customers. During negotiations, these customers have alleged that due to defective products supplied by CORE, they have lost their contracts with reputed clients and have claimed compensation. To avoid the legal claims and disputes in future and to have continuity in overseas operations, the committee has decided to write off the receivables of ` 1,730,436,995 and settle with customers. IPR Impairment: During the year, management has reviewed the carrying value of it’s IPR in view of the adoption of Common Core States Standard Initiative(CCSSI) in the United States of America (USA) where these assets were substantially used. The CCSSI is an education initiative in the USA that seeks to establish consistent education standards across the states as well as ensure that students graduating from high school are prepared to either two 86 | Annual Report 2014-15 NOTES forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements or four year college programs or enter the workforce. Prior to the CCSSI, each state had its own education standards and Company had the required resources and capability to deliver the solutions. However with the change in regulations and requirements, company has been investing in upgrading to the CCSSI to deliver the solutions consistently and as per requirement. With the CCSSI now in place, all the old products of the company that were aligned to the erstwhile State Standards have become partially redundant. Whilst the erstwhile State Standards will run parallel with the CCSSI for a few years, thus making the old products still commercially relevant, the company has, out of abundant caution, and with a conservative view, decided to fully write down these products. Management has made provision for impairment of ` 3,287,844,535 towards the carrying cost of such IPRs which has been treated as exceptional item. The IPRs aligned to CCSI are carried at cost. (b) Going Concern: The Company’s finances continued to be under stress which is evident from decrease in sales revenue, increase in overdue trade receivables and payables, salary arrears and arrears of statutory dues, over dues (interest and repayment of borrowings) of banks, financial institutions and finance lease obligations. To mitigate the financial stress, the company has taken various steps including cost cutting exercise and opted for Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) plan which has been admitted and is subject to final approval from its lenders. Also, during the year a promoter company has infused ` 512,080,907 as an advance under the aforesaid restructuring Plan. The management is confident of approval of the restructuring package of the loans under CDR, improve the operating margins and collection from trade receivables. Despite there being possible material uncertainty in this regard, management is confident of meeting its financial obligations. and hence, these financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern assumption. (c) Haryana ICT The company had entered into a contract with the State of Haryana on 25.03.2011 to install and maintain computer labs in 2,622 schools under the ICT program. The project was completed as per the contract and the maintenance part of the contract was in operation since last couple of years. Due to various reasons, chief among them being non-receipt of payments from the State Government, the company had partially ceased to service the contract during the year. In spite of on-going negotiations taking place between the company and the State Governments to revive the project, the company received a termination order from the State on 23.04.2014 and forfeiture of bank guarantee of ` 295,000,000. The company filed a Special Leave Petition with the Supreme Court on 28.04.2014 and in response to which the Supreme Court granted a stay on the termination Order and forfeiture of bank guarantee for a

Page 67: Annual Report 2014

period of 3 weeks. The stay is currently in operation. The company believes that it has strong case in this matter. Pending outcome of the legal proceedings, no adjustment has been made to the carrying value as at 31st March, 2015 of receivables of ` 748,319,014 and of the fixed assets of ` 1,002,144,968 at this stage, for this project. (d) Trade receivable overdue for more than six months period includes ` 3,458,783,542 dues from customers in assessment segment. Based on the discussion with the customers, management is confident of recovering the dues. The customers have confirmed the year end balances and therefore no provision for doubtfull debts is considered necessary at this stage. (e) Company had purchased computer equipments for ICT projects on financial lease and has taken term loan from Hewlett Packard Financial Services (India) Private Limited (HPFS). During the year, a restructuring agreement has been entered into and a repayment schedule has been restructured for both finance lease and the loan as a consolidated amount. In the absence of breakup of future repayments of lease and loan, the disclosures pertaining to finance lease obligations has not been made. (f) In the opinion of the Board of Directors, other current assets have a value on realisation in the ordinary course of the company’s business, which is at least to the amount at which they are stated in the balance sheet. (g) Advances, Trade payables and few trade receivable balances are subject to confirmation and reconciliation, if any (h) The FCCB redemptiond date was 7th May 2015 but the company has still not redeemed the FCCB (i) Previous year’s figures have been regrouped / reclassified wherever necessary to correspond with the current year’s classification / disclosure.
