SUMMARY OF THE SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

 

The Hon’ble High Court of Judicature at Bombay has passed an order on 12th March,2010,approving the scheme of Arrangement (‘’Scheme’’) between Kalyani steels Limited(‘’ KSL/Demerged Company’’) and Chakrapani Investments and Traders Limited(‘’Chakrapani’’) and Surajmukhi Investment and Finance Limited(‘’ Surajmukhi’’) and Gladiolla Investments Limited (‘’Gladiolla’’) (‘’Amalgamating Companies’’) and Kalyani Investment Company Limited (‘’ KICL / Resulting Company’’) and their respective shareholders.

 

The company has received the Authenticated Copy of the order on 25th March, 2010 and filed the same with registrar of Companies, Pune on 31st March,2010. The scheme has therefore become effective on 31st March, 2010

 

Sailent features of the scheme:

 

KSL/Demerged Company is engaged in the business of manufacture of carbon and Alloy steel under mini blast furnace (MBF) route and holding investments through Investment Division KSL thought appropriate to re-organise its business by way of demerger of its Investment Division into KICL/Resulting Company and subsequent merger of chakrapani,Surajmukhi and Gladiolla into KICL/Resulting company.

 

The Re-organisation of businesses as contemplated in the scheme is beneficial to both, the companies and their shareholders as it will enhance shareholder value. The current equity Equity shareholders of the KJSL/Demerged company would continue to remain its shareholders, as also become shareholders of KICL /Resulting company, thereby giving them an opportunity to participate in the management, operations, decision-making and profits of both the companies. it also gives the shareholders the flexibility to invest in only one of the two listed companies.

 

The re-organisation of business as contemplated in the scheme would, interalia, will also have the following benefits:

 

a) The sepration of non-core business from the core business and independent management of each of the businesses and adoption of strategies necessary for the growth of respective businesses.

 

b) By demerger of Investment Division and merger of Amalgamating Companies into KICL/Resulting Company, the financial resources will be conveniently of funds and reduction of administrative and manpower expenses and overheads which are presently being multiplicated, being separate entities.

 

C) Greater internal control on the business processes by combining similar businesses together and ease of decision-making of respective verticals.

 

d) The nature of technology, risk and competition involved in each of the businesses is distinct from each other consequently each business or undertaking is capable of addressing independent business

opportunities, deploying different technologies and attracting different sets of investors, strategic partners, lenders and other stakeholders.

 

History

 

Subject is promoted by B N Kalyani, was established in 1973 and has its works at Mundhwa, Pune. The company is one of the leading mini steel plants manufacturing forging quality carbon and alloy steels using the electric arc furnace route. KSL produces engineering and alloy steel ingots, blooms and billets conforming to international standards. Its products range between 36 mm and 140 mm in diameter. KSL has absorbed various technologies from Aichi Steels, Japan; Mann, Germany; Inteco, Austria; and Concast, Switzerland


Subject has also set up an electro-slag refining (ESR) plant to manufacture ingots with a maximum diameter of 800 mm. The company went public in Sep.'92 with an issue of FCDs and NCDs with warrants attached to part-finance its seamless pipe project at Baramati near Pune.

  
In Jan.'95, the company transferred its 90,000-tpa carbon and alloy steel seamless tubes plant at Baramati Pune, to Kalyani Seamless Tubes, a company promoted especially to take over this project. During the year 1999-2000, Kalyani Seamless Tubes, a company promoted by Kalyani Steels merged with Indian Seamless Tubes Ltd. 
 

The subsidiaries of the company are Chakrapani Investments and Trade Limited, Surajmukhi Investments and Finance Limited and Gladiolla Investments Limited, Kalyani Steels Limited (KSL), has teamed up with the US-based Carpenter Technology Corporation(26% stake) to set up a joint venture, Kalyani Carpenter Special Steels Ltd to manufacture high value-added steels. Carpenter and Kalyani have established a second joint venture, Kalyani Carpenter Metal Centres Limited, for opening distribution centres. 

 

For captive consumption purposes the company intends to set up a 7.5 MW capacity power plant by using blast furnace gas generated by the mini blast furnaces. By setting up the power plant the company expects to bring down the input cost of steel prodcution and increase the competitiveness of the end products. The project cost is pegged to be around Rs. 0.270 million and would be financed by way of internal accruals and debts. During April 2005 the company has commissioned the power plant which uses the blast furnace gases generated by mini blast furnaces at a total capital expenditure of Rs. 0.251 million. 

 

The Company has entered into an agreement with Gujarat NRE Coke Ltd for setting up of coke oven batteries project. The company has contributed to 40% equity stake in Bharat NRE Coke Ltd (BNCL). BNCL has planned to set up eight coke oven batteries at Dharwad, Karnataka.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS :

 

The Board takes pleasure in presenting your Company's Thirty-Seventh Annual Report for the year 2009-10 along with the compliance report on Corporate Governance. This chapter on Management Discussion and Analysis forms a part of the compliance report on Corporate Governance.

 

Industry Structure and Development:

 

The Indian Steel Industry weathered the global economic crisis fairly well. Even in the tough times of economic slowdown, the Industry succeeded to sustain its positive growth momentum on the strong fundamentals of domestic demand from construction, automobile and infrastructure sectors.

 

Emerging out of the world economic crisis with only minor bruises, the industry is poised to enter a growth phase and is on the threshold of a major transformation. In terms of demand, Indian Steel Industry is fortunately placed and this should spur its growth.

 

The path to economic development is very much linked to development of infrastructure. As of now, there has been under investment in infrastructure sector, which is most likely to change in coming years. Demand for steel will expand as the investments in infrastructure increases. Additionally, as the economy grows, the per capita steel consumption which currently stands at 44 kg per year compared to China's 250 kg would drastically go up. These would significantly escalate demand for steel and its products in India.

 

Growth in manufacturing sector especially in automobile and construction, is expected to result in additional steel demand.

 

Company Performance :

 

> Gross Turnover - Rs.11,535 Million

> Profit before Taxation - Rs.501 Million

> Profit after Taxation - Rs.433 Million

 

Turnover includes Trading Turnover of Rs.2,541 Million and Manufacturing Turnover of Rs.8,994 Million.

 

Manufacturing turnover includes sale of Rolled Products, As Cast Blooms, Pig Iron, Misc. Sales and Conversion Charges received. The Company sold 158,239 tonnes of 'Rolled Products' aggregating Rs.6,616 Million, 26,090 tonnes of 'As Cast Blooms' aggregating Rs.722 Million and 199 tonnes of 'Pig Iron' aggregating Rs.4 Million. Misc. Sales amounted to Rs.261 Million and Conversion Charges received were Rs. 1,391 Million. The Manufacturing Turnover includes exports of 8,848 tonnes of steel, aggregating Rs.285 Million.

 

Internal Control Systems and their Adequacy :

 

The Company strongly believes that Internal Control Systems are necessary for good Corporate Governance and that the freedom of management should be implemented through the framework of proper checks and balances.

 

The Company has in place an effective system of internal controls to ensure that all assets are properly safeguarded and protected and used optimally and financial transactions are reported accurately.

 

As a part of the internal control system, the Company has engaged services of the professional firm to carry out independent internal audit and to monitor the entire operations and functions on a regular basis. The top management and the Audit Committee of the Board review the findings and recommendations of the internal audit and ensure that the recommendations of the internal audit are implemented effectively.

 

Opportunities, Threats and Future Outlook:

 

In the steel industry, cost is the main driver for competitiveness and the majority of the cost of production is contributed by raw materials, mainly iron ore and metallurgical coke. Prices for these raw materials, are increasing significantly in the last few months, leading to increased cost of steel production.

 

Indian automotive production has increased by 26% in 2009-10 on YOY basis. This has resulted into increased demand for automotive steels. Domestically, new capacities have been added. These new plants, with latest technologies, have economies of scale leading to cost competitiveness. Increased availability of steel, resulting in short term supply / demand mismatch, could pose challenges to the steel industry.

 

To cope up with these challenges and to achieve cost competitiveness the Company has also taken several initiatives like long term arrangements for iron ore and coke, setting up captive power plant etc. In addition to this, the Company has also taken steps for getting allocation of iron ore and coal mines.

 

Medium to long term outlook for the steel sector remains positive, commensurate with economic growth.

 

While Indian Steel Industry has cut costs and have reasonably healthy bottom lines, their challenges lies in modernizing the existing plants. They must invest in enabling technologies that includes automation, improving skills of human assets and providing them necessary technology tools. This would enhance their ability to compete with global steel producers.
