On 16 April 2015, Glaucus Research Group California LLC, (Glaucus), released an undated research report in relation to Bonds of the company on its website (Glaucus Report).

The Company had issued a preliminary response to the Glaucus Report on April 16, 2015 mentioning that the said report is completely baseless and has factural errors and inconsistencies. The Company once again categorically denies the contents of the Glaucus Report in its entirety. By Glaucus's own admission, its motive in issuing the report is to make financial gains by shorting the Bonds. The Company believes that the manner in which the comparisons have been presented by Glaucus is misleading. Glaucus has not clarified the facts with any Company officials and/or visited any sites before releasing the Glaucus Report.

The Company requests readers to consider the following statements made by Glaucus in its own report.

"We are short sellers. We are biased." "Just because we are biased does not mean that we are wrong." "You are reading a short-biased opinion piece. Obviously, we will make money if the price of Rolta's Delaware-issued corporate bonds declines. This report and all statements contained herein are the opinion of Glaucus Research Group California, LLC, and are not statements of fact."  

"Use Glaucus Research Group California, LLC's research at your own risk. You should do your own research and due diligence before making any investment decision with respect to the debt instruments covered herein. The opinions expressed in this report are not investment advice nor should they be construed as investment advice or any recommendation of any kind."  

"Glaucus Research Group California, LLC makes no representation, express or implied, as to the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any such information or with regard to the results to be obtained from its use."  

These statements indicate that the Report has been issued in self-interest of Glaucus and with the objective of profiting from decline in price of the listed securities of the company and therefore the veracity of the contents is prejudiced. The Company once again refutes all allegations made in the Glaucus Report and has now filed a detailed point by point response of the said report with the relevant stock exchanges in India, London and Singapore and has posted it on its website http://www.rolta.com.
