Acquisition

In June 2009, through a definitive Share Purchase Agreement, Sesa Goa acquired all the outstanding common shares of VS Dempo and Co. Private Limited (“VSD”), which in turn, also holds 100% equity shares of Dempo Mining Corporation Private Limited and 50% equity shares of Goa Maritime Private Limited for a total consideration of Rs. 17500.000 millions (based on normative working capital) on debt-free and cash-free basis. The working capital on the acquisition date, thereafter, was determined and audited, and accordingly the final consideration amounted to Rs. 17130.000 millionss. The transaction was funded by Sesa Goa from its existing cash resources. At the time of acquisition it was estimated that VSD owned or had the rights to mineable reserves and resources of 70 million tonnes of iron ore in Goa. VSD’s Goa mining assets include processing plants, barges, jetties, transhippers and loading capacities at Mormugoa port.

 

Operations:

Sesa Goa confronted difficult market conditions in the first two quarters. With rising Chinese imports, demand started picking up from Q3 of, 2009-10. And in Q4 of 2009-10, the Company recorded all time high sales and production. With this rally in the second half, annual sales volumes increased by 12% from 15.1 million tonnes in 2008-09 to 16.9 million tonnes in 2009-10. While high levels of price remained below what was attained in the pre-economic slowdown days, sales realisation also increased steadily over the course of 2009-10. The combination of sales volumes and improved realisation helped propel Sesa Goa’s performance in 2009-10.

 

On the cost front, there were some external developments that adversely affected Sesa Goa’s operations. During Q2, 2009-10, the Government of India (GoI) changed the basis of royalty-charges on iron ore to ad-valorem (10%) basis from specific rates being levied earlier. This change in royalty was effective from 13.08.2009. Also, in December 2009, the export duty for iron ore lumps was increased from 5% to 10% along with the re introduction of export duty on iron ore fines by 5%. Despite, these adversities increasing the Company’s cost base, Sesa Goa increased its profits in 2009-10 as compared to 2008-09. This was achieved through higher sales volume, better price realisation and productivity improvements. With 83% share China continues to be the primary market for Sesa Goa. While 93% of its iron ore revenues are from exports, 7% is sold in the domestic Indian market. The total material handled by Sesa increased from 36.5 million tonnes in 2008-09 to 49.1 million tonnes in 2009-10. The Company delivered good results even in difficult conditions. This is a result of its aggressive policy and successful efforts to increase production at its mines at Goa, and Karnataka. This was supported by well managed logistics activities, which includes land transportation, barge management and port activities at Mormugao, New Mangalore, Paradip and Haldia. The Company has surpassed all past records in terms of tonnage handled at mines and by the transhipper vessel, M.V. Orissa.

 

Exploration Success:

While production is important, Sesa Goa lays great emphasis on developing assets. With this objective, The Company is focused on adding more iron ore resources through its exploration activities. During 2009-10, there were 9 drilling rigs deployed across leases in Goa and Karnataka. By 31.03.2010, over 56,000 metres have been drilled which has resulted in a net addition of 43 million tonnes to reserves and resources, post depletion of 24 million tonnes through production activities. As on 31st March 2010, total consolidated reserves and resources stand at 353 million tonnes (at the mines that the Company holds on lease and/or right to mine) as compared with 240 million tonnes as on 31.03.2009 and 70 million tonnes of reserves and resources from Dempo which was acquired in the month of June 2009. The reserves and resources position has been independently reviewed and certified as per Joint Ore Reserve Committee (JORC) standard.

 

Expansion Project:

During Q2, 2009-10, Sesa Goa announced setting up of new integrated project to increase the pig iron production capacity by 0.375 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) by setting up a new blast furnace of 450 cubic metres working volume. The Company also announced the setting up of a new sinter plant of 75 square metres, a new non recovery coke plant of 0.280 mtpa based on its own patented coke-making technology. A 30 MW power plant utilising the waste heat from the new coke plant and excess blast furnace gas from the new blast furnace facilities is also coming up. Post commissioning of the new projects, Sesa will be the only producer/manufacturer of pig iron in the secondary sector in India, with almost total backward integration.

 

Total investment in these projects is estimated at Rs.6050.000 millions (equivalent to US$125 million). This will be funded through a combination of debt and internal accruals. The project, expected to be completed by Q1, 2011-12 is being executed as per schedule.

 

Outlook:

While there are some positive signs with USA recording two consecutive quarters of positive growth, there will continue to be considerable uncertainties and negative surprises from the developed world. However, the Company believes that China and India are well on the recovery path. There are no indications of any sharp reduction in steel production or iron ore imports in China. In fact, in the near future iron ore prices are expected to remain firm. In this milieu, there will be several opportunities for Sesa Goa to leverage its competitive cost structure to penetrate markets, especially in China, and gain share in its imports. It will have to continue to focus on minimising costs and aggressively pushing volumes to customers and increase its share in the global iron ore trade. The Company remains cautiously optimistic about its prospects in 2010-11.

 

Subsidiary Companies:

Operations of Sesa Industries Limited (SIL) have resulted in a net profit of Rs. 843.0000 millions in 2009-10, as against Rs. 576.700 millions for the previous year. Production was at record high of 0.280 million tones as against 0.217 million tonnes for the previous year and sales at 0.279 million tonnes as against 0.224 million tonnes. The operations of Dempo’s have resulted in a net profit of Rs. 4930.000 millions in 2009-10. The increase in profitability was mainly driven by higher operational efficiencies and increased iron ore prices. Saleable iron ore production and sales during the attributable period of post 11.06.2009 in 2009-10 was at 3.600 million tonnes and 3.647 million tonnes respectively. Pursuant to the Accounting Standards AS-21 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the consolidated financial statements presented by the Company includes financial information of its subsidiaries. The Company has made an application to the Government of India seeking exemption under Section 212(8) of the Companies Act, 1956, from attaching/including the balance sheet, profit and loss account and other documents of the subsidiary companies to the Annual Accounts and Annual Reports of the Company. The Company will make available these documents/details upon request by any member of the Company, if the same application is granted.
