The Company has made provision of Nil for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 (for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021: Rs 279 Lakhs), on account of accumulated losses and errosion of net worth of HCL Infotech Limited.
- As at June 30, 2021, the Company has accumulated losses and its net worth has been fully eroded, the Company has incurred a net profit of Rs. 4,992 Lakhs during the current period (March 31, 2021: net loss of Rs. 20,476 Lakhs) and the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 40,523 lakhs (March 31, 2021 Rs. 46,133 lakhs) as at June 30, 2021. The losses are primarily as a result of delayed receipts on certain system integration contracts, certain historical low margin contracts, slow-down of distribution businesses and finance costs. The management of the Company, is pursuing strategies which include scale down of loss-making businesses like scaling down of the distribution business (refer note 4), sale of certain non-core properties (refer note 7) and reduction in outstanding debts. To ensure the necessary financial support for its operations, the Board of Directors of HCL Corporation Private Limited has approved support (in the form of corporate guarantees and unsecured loans) to the Company upto Rs. 1,50,000 lakhs. This had been approved by the shareholders of the Company, vide their resolution dated September 14, 2017. Considering the above support, the Company’s management and the Board of Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to realise its assets and discharge its contractual obligations and liabilities as they fall due in the near future in the normal course of business. Accordingly, these financial results have been prepared on a going concern basis.
234
-
In view of the current financial stress faced by the Enterprise and Consumer Distribution businesses resulting in decline in sales and increase in losses, the Board of Directors had appointed a reputed independent consulting firm to review these businesses. Based on the report of the consulting firm and the inputs of the management team, the Board of Directors in their meeting dated January 27, 2020 decided that because of low margin contracts, tough market conditions and the current financial position of the Company, the Distribution businesses of the Company were not financially sustainable. Consequently, the Board recommended that in order to limit future financial losses, the Enterprise and Consumer Distribution Business has been substantially scaled down during the previous financial year ended March 31, 2021.
-
Management believes that it has taken into account all the possible impacts of known events arising from COVID-19 pandemic in the preparation of these financial results. In evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the management has assessed the impact on its business and the carrying value of its major assets comprising of property, plant and equipment, trade receivables and other receivable balances. The impact assessment of COVID-19 is a continuing process given the uncertainties associated with its nature and duration and actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The Company will continue to monitor any material changes to future economic conditions and any significant impact of these changes would be recognized in the financial results as and when these material changes to economic conditions arise.
-
The Board of Directors of HCL Infosystems Limited, in its meeting held on August 06, 2020, approved the merger of HCL Learning Limited and Digilife Distribution and Marketing Services Limited (DDMS), wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, with HCL Infosystems Limited. The proposed merger is for the purpose of simplifying the group structure. As part of the ongoing rationalization of the business, the learning business and the distribution business are being scaled down. As a result, separate entities for these businesses, i.e. HCL Learning Limited for learning business and DDMS for distribution business, are no longer required. An application was filed before the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal (‘NCLT’) at New Delhi Bench on 21 September 2020 for obtaining the sanction of NCLT on the proposed merger. Since, the aforesaid Scheme is subject to approval from concerned regulatory authorities which is considered to be substantive, the accounting effect of the above Scheme has not been considered in these financial results.
-
In order to reduce Company’s debt obligations, the Company has decided to monetize Company owned properties in a phased manner. Several of Company’s properties are not being fully utilized due to changes in the business of the Company, therefore during the quarter ended, June 30, 2021, the Company has disposed three properties located in Mohali, Sector-11 Noida and Sederapet, having net carrying amount of Rs.1,407 Lakhs, for a consideration of Rs. 7,610 Lakhs, resulting an overall gain of Rs. 6,203 Lakhs. (quarter and year ended March 31, 2021: Nil). Additionally, the Company has subsequently sold one property located at Hyderabad during the month of July 2021.
-
The Board of Directors of HCL Infosystems Limited in its meeting held on February 10, 2021 had approved to sell the entire shareholding held by HCL Infosystems Limited in HCL Infotech Limited at “Net Asset Value” as on closing date, after acquiring the undertaking which shall comprise of the business relating to two specific projects through a business transfer agreement, certain other assets and liabilities through assignment deed and HCL Investments Pte., Singapore & it’s step down subsidiary through a share purchase agreement. Unaudited net asset value of HCL Infotech Limited post this carve out as on 30 September 2020 is Rs 14,700 Lakhs. The sale will be made to Novezo Consulting Pvt. Ltd based on the terms and conditions as specified in share purchase agreement dated February 10, 2021. One of the customers of our key defense project which is forming part of the deal has asked us to maintain status quo and further explore alternative options. The Company is in active discussion with the investor and the customer and this transaction is expected to take longer time than expected initially with of change in terms. Since, the closure of transaction is subject to certain conditions precedents, which are considered to be substantive in nature, the accounting effect of the above transaction has not been considered in these financial results.
-
The Board of Directors of the Company in its meeting held on March 23, 2021, had consented to adjust the unsecured loan advanced to HCL Infotech Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary, amounting to Rs. 40,000 Lakhs, against the subscription money payable by the Company to HCL Infotech Limited, for subscription of the 40,00,000 (forty lakhs) 0.1% Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCD) of a face value of Rs.1,000 each (Indian Rupees One thousand only) issued, on private placement basis to the Company, pursuant to terms of OCD Subscription Agreement dated March 31, 2021 between the Company and HCL Infotech Limited. As legally advised, the issuance of 0.1% OCDs does not meet the definition of loan as envisaged under section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013 and accordingly the Company is of the view that the above transaction is outside the purview of the aforesaid section.
Further the company had recognised a loss on of Rs. 631 Lakhs, upon conversion of net balance of unsecured loan into OCD during the previous financial year ended March 31, 2021.

The Company and HCL Infotech Limited, has agreed that the OCDs as mentioned in note 9, issued to the Company shall be redeemed only from and to the extent of the proceeds from certain specified book receivables and favorable awards received by the HCL Infotech Limited in accordance with the terms set out in the OCD Subscription Agreement. Accordingly, HCL Infotech Limited, has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from those specified book receivables and favorable awards to the Company and the aforesaid transaction meets the pass-through arrangement criteria, as per the requirements of Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments. Therefore, the outstanding balance of specified books receivables of Rs. 1,892 Lakhs (including amount of Rs. 867 Lakhs of the contract assets) has been derecognized in the financial statements of HCL Infotech Limited and recognized by the Company against the value of OCDs.

-
We have reviewed the accompanying Statement of unaudited standalone financial results of HCL Infosystems Limited (“the company” ) for the quarter ended 30 June 2021(“the Statement”).
-
This Statement, which is the responsibility of the Company’s management and approved by the Board of Directors, has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34 “ Interim Financial Reporting ” (“Ind AS 34”),prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.
-
We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
-
Attention is drawn to the fact that the figures for the 3 months ended 31 March 2021 as reported in these financial results are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full previous financial year and the published year to date figures up to the third quarter of the previous financial year. The figures up to the end of the third quarter of previous financial year had only been reviewed and not subjected to audit.
-
Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and other recognized accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

- We draw attention to note 3 of the Statement, which states that the Company has accumulated losses and has incurred a profit of Rs. 4,992 Lakhs during the current quarter. Further its net worth is fully eroded and that the Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets as at 30 June 2021. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in note 4, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern i.e., whether the Company will be able to realise its assets and discharge all its contractual obligations and liabilities as they fall due in near future in the normal course of the business. However, based upon the measures as set forth in the note 3, including necessary financial support from a significant promoter shareholder, the management and the Board of Directors of the Company have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to operate as a going concern in the near future. Accordingly, management has prepared the statement on a going concern basis.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
