LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT:

 

Advance estimates of central statistical organization indicates a real GDP growth of 9.2% for 2006-07. The average growth rate over the past four years stands at 8.6% making it the fastest pace of growth in India’s history. While all the three sectors of the economy recorded positive growth during 2006-07, the key driver was the industrial sector, which grew by an estimated 10%. Industrial growth was led by the manufacturing sector, which recorded an impressive increase of 11.3% bolstered by capital goods production, which grew by 17.7% over the previous year. The services sector posted a robust growth of 11.2% in line with the strong performance trend of the previous years. Agriculture sector recorded a relatively low growth of 2.7%.

 

Exports of goods grew by 20.8% to touch USD 124.6 billion mark. However the robust export performance could not contain the trade deficit which further to touch USD 56.7 billion, an increase of 40.6% over 2005-06, mainly on account of a sharp increase in the value of oil imports.

 

AUDITORS REPORT:

 

The auditors have raised objections in their report on the following points thereby expressing inability to quantity their impact on the depreciation charge, loss for the period, accumulated losses as at 31st March 2007 and Net Fixed assets as at 31st March, 2008.

v      The value of capitalized as “Options” in the Books of accounts should  have been capitalized as tangible assets at the fair value amounts in the financial statements and depreciation over their individual estimated useful lives.

 

The objection above is a continuation from the previous financial years 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07 and the relevant clarifications have been repeated below as in the previous year’s reports.

 

To clarify the position of the Board with reference to the objection raised by the auditors, the following paragraphs will suitably elaborate the viewpoint of the Board –

 

Under the terms of the Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) and the Toll Conversion Agreement (TCA) between ICI India Limited (ICI and Johnson Matthey Chemicals India Private Limited (JMCIPL), both ICI and JMCIPL have options to sell/buy all or part of the Panki assets (with or without Land) at a future date at a prearrived value (plus statutory levies for land), subject to the exercising of the relevant option by either party accompanied by the fulfillment of certain conditions.

 

The company has agreed to the fact that the Business consideration paid by it to ICI includes a value for the Panki Manufacturing assets as the future consideration payable on the same is a taken residual value. As a result, it has recognized the need to acknowledge the future options relating to Panki assets and has therefore reflected it in the books of Accounts as an intangible right to exercise an option, based on an independent fair Valuation of the Panki assets as on the transfer date

 

However, the company cannot capitalize the consideration paid on account of the right to exercise an option in the form of Tangible assets because of the following factors:-

v      A reading of the Business Transfer Agreement and the Toll conversion agreement will clearly suggest that the Panki site assets are excluded from the list of assets has not been transferred by ICI to JMCIPL as on the transfer date under the BTA read will the allied agreements.

v      A possible future transfer of all or part of the Panki manufacturing assets is dependent on the exercising of options by either party, and on the satisfaction of certain conditions and is therefore not a foregone conclusion.

 

Further, there is no material impact of the Financial statements as a result of this treatment which can be explained as under as the total value of the assets have been disclosed in the financial statement under the head “Options” instead of the separate categories of Tangible Assets suggested by the auditors which makes the Gross Block of assets reflected in the Balance sheet the same as suggested by the auditors which makes the Gross Block of assets reflected in the Balance sheet reflects an amortization value on the “Option” for the period of the operations instead of the depreciation value on the said Tangible assets and the differential impact is summarized in the table below. Thus, there has been adequate discloser and accounting of these fact in the Financial Statements.

 

In the current financial year, the company has recognized the potential liability on account of costs payable on the transfer of leasehold nghts to the land at the Panki site based on an estimated valuation and reported the same under capital work in progress in the financials.
