1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of QUADRANT TELEVENTURES
LIMITED (Formerly known as HFCL Infotel Limited) (''the Company'') as at
31st March, 2011, the Profit & Loss Account and also the Cash Flow
Statement for the year ended on that date annexed thereto. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company''s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
2. We have conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those Standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditors'' Report) Order, 2003, issued
by the Central Government of India in terms of Section 227(4A) of the
Companies Act, 1956 and on the basis of such checks as considered
appropriate and according to the information and explanations given to
us during the course of the audit, we enclose in the Annexure hereto a
statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the said
Order to the extent applicable.
4. Without qualifying our opinion we draw attention to note 1 (c) of
Schedule 21 to the financial statements. The Company has incurred a
loss of Rs. 2,236,667,344 during the year (accumulated loss of Rs.
13,636,994,938) resulting into erosion of its net worth, and has a net
current liabilities of Rs. 6,588,544,442 as at March 31, 2011. These
factors raise a doubt that the Company will not be able to continue as
a going concern. The management is confident of generating cash flows
from business operations through increasing subscribers'' base and with
the support of significant shareholders to fund its operating and
capital fund requirements. Accordingly, these statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis.
5. As mentioned in Note 8 (a) of schedule 22 to the financial
statements, based on Company''s request Corporate Debt Restructuring
(''CDR'') Cell vide their letter dated August 13, 2009 (''CDR letter'') has
revised the terms of CDR scheme with effect from April 1, 2009. The
Company has accounted for the impact of revised CDR scheme as approved
by CDR Cell after complying with the most of the terms and conditions
stipulated therein, however compliance of some of them is still in
process. These financial statements do not include any adjustment which
may arise due to inability of the management to fulfill the remaining
conditions precedent.

paragraph, we report that:-
a) We have obtained all the information and explanations, which, to the
best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our
audit;
