The company carried out many governmental and military functions in Asia for the Crown. As a reward, it was granted a monopoly of the trade in India. In 1773 the company was on the verge of bankruptcy as a result of mismanagement. It also had 17 million pounds of tea in London warehouses with no prospect of selling the tea. The British government agreed to allow the company exclusive right to sell the tea in the American colonies.
