Answer:The historical performance of Quadrant Tele shows a fluctuating trend in net sales and profitability over the years.

Breakdown:
Quadrant Tele's net sales have shown a consistent upward trajectory, increasing from Rs 197.39 crore in March 2010 to Rs 562.39 crore in March 2016. However, the company has faced significant challenges in profitability, with operating profit (PBDIT) fluctuating from a positive Rs 74.83 crore in 2010 to a negative Rs 134.87 crore in 2016. The operating profit margin, which was negative in several years, improved to 3.8% in 2016 from -14.98% in 2015. Despite this improvement, the profit after tax remained negative, with a loss of Rs 134.86 crore in 2016, although this was an improvement from a loss of Rs 240.66 crore in 2015. The company's total assets decreased from Rs 840.20 crore in 2011 to Rs 609.70 crore in 2016, while total liabilities have remained relatively stable around Rs 600 crore. Cash flow from operating activities has also shown a decline, dropping from Rs 284.63 crore in 2011 to Rs 165.15 crore in 2016, although there was a slight net cash inflow of Rs 4.79 crore in 2016 compared to previous years. Overall, while Quadrant Tele has increased its sales, it continues to struggle with profitability and asset management.
