The Authorised Capital of the company has been increased to Rs. 1050 millions in the Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on 06.08.2004 and shares worth Rs. 234.400 millions have been allotted to Government on 23.12.2004.  The Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2005 shows an accumulated loss of Rs. 4470.200 millions as against the Share Capital of Rs. 1033.600 millions.

ONE TIME SETTLEMENT OF DUES OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND BANKS

 

During the year Rs. 30 millions has been sanctioned by Government as grant for settlement of the dues of Peerless General Finance & Investment Company.  Subsequently, an agreement was reached with Peerless General Finance & Investment Company Limited to settle the final installments of Rs. 71 millions at Rs. 50 millions.  Government had vide G. O. [MS] No. 163/05/ID dated 19.12.2005 sanctioned Rs. 40 millions as loan and directed to pay the balance Rs. 10 millions from the company.  Accordingly KIRFB had released Rs. 40 millions on behalf of Government and the settlement was concluded on 27.12.2005, by paying Rs. 50 millions as full and final settlement.

 

As decided in the meeting with the Consortium Bankers held by the Hon’ble Minister for Industries on 08.03.2004 a proposal to settle the dues to the Consortium Bankers at Rs. 578.500 millions i.e. the sanctioned limit of Rs. 418.000 millions plus the developed LCs and Bank Guarantee settled by the Banks Rs. 160.500 millions, in two installments in September, 04 and December, 04 has been submitted to the Government.  Government has not taken a decision on the proposal so far.

 

In the mean time, Consortium Banks have filed case No. OA 19 of 2006 before the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Ernakulam, against the company, State of Kerala represented by Chief Secretary to Government and Principal Secretary to Government Industries [D] Department,  Government of Kerala for recovering an amount of Rs. 3282.000 millions with 12% interest from 01.12.205 and Rs. 2.100 millions towards invoked guarantees.  They have engaged Advocate, Mr. T. P. Kelu Nambiar, Ernakulam to defend the case before the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Ernakulam.

 

A decision on the One Time Settlement proposal based on the agreement with Banks reached in a meeting held by the Industries Minister on 08.03.2004, to settle the entire dues at Rs. 578.500 millions is yet to be taken by the Government.  The approval of the Government for the OTS proposal can avoid the litigation and result in a saving of about Rs. 2700 millions.

 

Subsidiary / Associate Companies :

 

The year 2004-05 continued to experience the same trend for the electronic component industry as in the previous year and the performance of the Subsidiary Companies remained unsatisfactory.  Keltron Electro Ceramics Limited registered a net loss of Rs. 2.906 millions as compared to the previous years figure of Rs. 0.645 millions.  Keltron Component Complex Limited has incurred a loss of Rs. 38.474 millions against the previous years’ figure of Rs. 16.522 millions, Keltron Magnetics Limited incurred a loss of Rs. 2.976 millions against the previous years’ figure of Rs. 3.499 millions, Keltron Crystals Limited also incurred a loss of Rs. 22.490 millions against the previous years’ figure of Rs. 16.207 millions, Keltron Resistors Limited registered a loss of Rs. 6.184 millions against the previous years’ loss of Rs. 4.728 millions.

 

As part of the restructuring of KCCL operations, the OTS with Financial Institutions was concluded by availing a loan from KIRFB as the interest free Government loan as envisaged in the approved proposal was not received.  Government settled the loan by sanctioning a loan of KCCL on 31.03.2005.  KCCL is also referred to BIFR.

 

BIFR on its hearing held on 22.11.2005 declared the company as Sick Company and directed the company to submit a Revival Programme.  KCCL is formulating a Revival Scheme for rehabilitation of the company as per the guidelines of BIFR.

 

Keltron Crystals Limited [KXL] has been incurring huge loses and referred to BIFR on 19.09.2002.

 

The operations of Keltron Magnetics Limited, Keltron Resistors Limited and Keltron Electro Ceramic Limited are also not satisfactory.  These Companies are facing very severe competition from cheaper imports.  As restructuring of these companies is essential for long terms sustenance, detailed proposals have been submitted to Government.

 

As viable projects could not be submitted, BIFR ordered winding up of Keltron Power Devices Limited and referred the matter to High Court of Kerala.  The High Court of Kerala has ordered the winding up of the company on 14.11.2005 and appointed the Official Liquidator.  On 14.12.2005, the Official Liquidator took possession of the assets and effects of the company.

 

BIFR confirmed the winding up order on the Keltron Rectifiers Limited and sent the relevant papers to Hon’ble High Court of Kerala.  The case is pending with the High Court.

 

In the mean time, Principal Secretary [Industries] convened a meeting on 30.11.2005 to discuss on the take over of KRCL by District Industries Centre, Thrissur [DIC] and it was decided that DIC will take over the assets of the company by 31.12.2005, and Government will undertake to settle all the liabilities of the company and move to the High Court to wind up the company.  Accordingly, DIC, Trichur took possession of the assets of the company and the details of the remaining major liabilities are also furnished to Government.

 

All the employees of KRCL has been sent on VRS and settled the dues to Indian Bank and KFC on OTS with funds sanctioned by Government of Kerala.  The remaining major liabilities are dues of MIT, Sales Tax, Electricity etc.

 

Though BIFR has ordered the winding up of Keltron Counters Limited and referred the matter to High Court of Kerala, a stay has been obtained from High Court of Kerala as ERC has formulated a revival scheme and the same was approved by Government of Kerala.  Based on the scheme 138 employees have been relieved on Employees Separation Scheme [ESS] and Rs. 74.449 millions sanctioned by Government of Kerala has been distributed as benefits.

 

Government of Kerala vide Letter No. 6225/D3/04/ID dated 12.07.2004 directed the company to issue notice for Social Safety Net Programme for the remaining employees of the company.  The company issued notice to all remaining employees for SSNP on 15.07.2004.  Out of 145 employees 109 opted for SSNP and were separated from the services of the company on 31.08.2004.  The remaining employees started agitation against trade sale and is still continuing.  Government of Kerala vide order No. G. O [Ms] No. 137/2004/ID dated 30.11.2004 sanctioned an amount of Rs. 52.936 millions.  The terminal benefits to the separated employees has been settled.
