Secretarial Auditors' Observations in Secretarial Audit Report and Directors' explanation thereto -

i) In respect of Point pertaining to requisite number of Independent Directors as required under the Clause 49 of the  Listing Agreement:

The Board of Directors of the Company comprises of ten Directors. Of the said ten Directors, three Directors are Promoter-Directors, of which only one is an Executive Director and rest two are Non-executive Directors. As regard  the balance, seven directors are non-promoter / non-executive and unrelated directors with three being the  nominee directors of various lenders in terms of the CDR arrangements and four are Independent Directors, i.e. more than 2/3rd are non-promoter / non-executive and unrelated directors, and more of the nature of independent directors only.

In terms of Clause 49(II)(A)(2) of the listing agreement, at least half of the Company's Board shall consist of  Independent Directors, which the Company was complying with till September 30, 2014. However, due to change in the definition of "independent director" by excluding the "nominee director" outside the purview of the definition of the "independent director", with effect from October 1, 2014, the composition of the Board of the Company required change in terms of the revised Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement. The Nominee Directors fulfil all other criteria of independence as specified in Clause 49(II)(B)(1) of the listing agreement and they are more of the nature of independent directors only. Accordingly, in spirit the Company does comply with the requirements of the Board composition, with more than 2/3rd directors, being non-promoter / non-executive and unrelated directors.

Irrespective of above, the Company has been making its best endeavour to find appropriate persons as independent directors on its Board since quite some time, however without much success, and would still continue its efforts to comply with the requirements of Clause 49(II)(A)(2) of the Listing Agreement.

ii) In respect of Point pertaining to compliance with Clause 49(III)(B) of the Listing Agreement in relation to Audit Committee meeting held on October 31, 2014:

The change in definition of "independent director" by excluding the "nominee director" outside the purview of the definition of the "independent director", became effect from October 1, 2014 and thus to meet the requirements of the Listing Agreement regarding composition of the Audit Committee was immediately taken up in the first board meeting held after October 1, 2014, i.e. on October 31, 2014. Since the Board Meeting, wherein the agenda for reconstitution of the Audit Committee was considered, was held after the meeting of the Audit Committee on October 31, 2014, the meeting of Audit Committee continued to have the same earlier composition. It is hereby clarified that it is merely the fact the quorum with majority independent directors was not there, but the quorum per se was there with three members attending, of which the Chairman being the independent director, and other two being non-executive directors including one nominee director.

c) Cost Auditors - In terms of Section 148 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 and pursuant to the recommendation of Audit Committee, the Company has appointed M/s.
