LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONS

 

During the year, the Company has achieved gross revenue of Rs.1473.200 millions as against Rs.2278.200 millions in the previous year.

 

Sales of lighting products comprises of domestic sales and export sales.

 

DOMESTIC SALES

 

The Company’s sales suffered significantly for want of working capital and delayed recoveries from markets. The trading activities have yielded marginal returns but in the process have used some of the inventories.

 

EXPORT SALES

 

The Export Sales was to the tune of Rs.84.000 millions for the year as compared to Rs.207.100 millions in the previous year. The Company has consciously focused on this segment and taken steps to grow exponentially during the coming years. New products like the Power Products and the LED Products were introduced to new customers in this year. During the year, a patented Product ‘E2T5’ was exclusively developed complying to European specifications. The Power Products and LED related special designs are likely to cater to both the Export and Domestic markets and will play a major role in the business prospects of the Company in the coming years.

 

FINANCE

 

As advised during the last report, the Company had approached its lenders for rescheduling the debt over a longer period. The Company’s finances further deteriorated due to lower capacity utilization, higher interest and reduced margins. Faced with defaults, the Company approached CDR through its largest creditor, IDBI Bank in Jan 2011. The proposal is pending approval of the requisite number of creditors. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Company’s survival solely depends on the approval of such a package. The management is still in negotiation for such approval. In the meantime, the Company is facing law suits from LIC Mutual Fund and from HSBC for recoveries of their dues.

 

The enclosed statement forming part of the report gives details such as Financial Position at a glance, Distribution of Income etc.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

In furtherance of the various objectives as mentioned in the last year’s Report, the Company has effective from 1st October, 2009 transferred the following Divisions to two 100% subsidiaries (SPVs) as under:

 

a. Business of ESCO Division, i.e. financing of Projects / Products to customers on energy saving basis, and all activities related thereto together with all related assets, liabilities and entitlements at book values as at the time of transfer, on a going concern basis. The name of this 100% subsidiary is AEL ESCO PRIVATE LIMITED.

 

b. Business of Projects Division, i.e. State Electricity Board Projects and all activities related thereto together with all related assets, liabilities and entitlements at book values as at the time of transfer on a going concern basis. The name of this 100% subsidiary is AEL PROJECTS PRIVATE LIMITED.

 

The Accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2010 and 31st March, 2011 have incorporated all such transactions at the book value at the time of transfer and the difference between the book values of identified assets and liabilities of ESCO Division amounting to Rs.517.434 millions and of Project Division amounting to Rs.112.915 millions are shown as investment in the proposed subsidiaries.

 

The Company is looking out for strategic partners in these activities once the fate of CDR is known.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

Business Review

 

Asian Electronics has not only been the pioneer in the energy efficient lighting industry but has also emerged as a premium quality brand with strong brand leadership and a robust distribution channel. The business prospects of the Company appeal even more when viewed in the backdrop of the new age Indian consumer who demands quality products from a respected brand even if he has to pay a premium for it. We, at Asian, strive to ensure that the trust shown by their customers in them is not only maintained but further strengthened at any cost. Quality wise, they are proud to proclaim that they are at par with the products of the global leaders in the power saving lighting industry.

 

Opportunities

 

In Indian Market:

Their vast marketing network, which has presence across the length and breadth of the country, has taken the brand of the Company right into the hearts of the customers. They feel that the performance of their vast marketing network can be augmented significantly if certain factors hindering its performance are addressed satisfactorily. These factors have been discussed in detail later in this Report. The Company is stressing on increasing its range of product offerings, which it believes, has immense business potential going forward. With the huge populace becoming aware of the benefits of energy efficient lighting, the industry in which they operate assures a stable and sustainable growth over a long term.

 

In International Markets:

The products of the Company have presence in the developed markets of US and Europe. New product launches, which are distributed through the Joint Venture partners of the Company, ensure that the business prospects for the products of the Company, in these international markets, maintain a rising trend. Buoyed by the positive response received from the US and European markets, the Company may consider venturing into other countries in the future. Besides ensuring stable cash flows, the Company looks at the international markets for growth and for hedging against uncertainties.

 

Threats:-

The business is subject to a set of hostilities arising out of the following:

 

Debt burden of secured and unsecured lenders:

The Company has been facing scarcity of working capital for quite some time. It has been hindering the overall operations of the Company. After a long and protracted spell of discussions, the Company’s financiers chose to explore Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) mechanism to find an amicable solution. However, this is yet to reach its conclusion. The Company sincerely hopes for the CDR proposal to be approved without much delay failing which the Company would struggle to survive the financial crunch it finds itself into.

 

Meeting Customer Expectations:

In the industry that the Company operates in, prompt deliveries are the order of the day. The customers do not have mercy for “delayed” deliveries in the competitive world. The paucity of Working Capital cycle has impacted business of the Company badly.

 

Recoveries of old Dues:

Huge receivables of the Company have been locked into litigations. The Company is pursuing the recoveries vigorously and is hopeful of recovering them. However, the response to legal process of recovery has been very slow and not likely to yield results quickly.

 

Government and Semi-Government Dues:

Huge funds had got stuck with various Municipal Corporations under the ESCO model of business and the Maharashtra State Electricity Board in respect of the Capacitor Panels under Sale and Lease-back module. The funds involved in disputes with Municipal Corporations and MSEB have not seen any immediate hopes of recovery. The Company is pursuing the recovery process with respective parties and is hopeful of substantial recovery.

 

Global events:

Chances of a slowdown of the World Economy, mainly European economy, is quite possible for the short term due to current global developments. As the Company is having substantial share of its exports business concentrated in Europe, any adverse event, like a slowdown, occurring there would adversely impact growth in the short term for the Company.

 

Cost of Raw material:

The volatility in the prices of all the major raw materials may adversely affect profit margins of the Company. The Company has adopted various measures to hedge itself from impact of the price rise to minimize the effect of escalating prices of raw materials.

 

Foreign Exchange:

With the ever increasing focus of the Company on export markets, any adverse movement in the foreign exchange rates shall affect the margins of the Company. The Company has adopted various measures to hedge itself from any such adverse movements.

 

Entering into new markets or new products:

As discussed they have been entering into new geographies which will have its own challenges. They are also planning to launch new products which may need new policies. The new initiatives will bring new challenges in near future. They believe that they have sufficient management bandwidth to pass through these cycles with past experiences. They are also putting in place various safeguards to ensure that they do not encounter any unexpected surprises.

 

Amidst the adversity as above, the management has kept a simple goal of building current businesses as the first priority and has achieved the following:

 

a. Created an island of customers to service with their own support of Working Capital in overseas and local markets.

b. built commercially viable business opportunities in new products.

c. took recovery of stuck assets as a special project and survive the rot.

d. reduced overheads to almost negligible in relation to size of the business.

 

The markets too have seen violent fluctuations in material prices and hence availability.

 

However, the menace of unorganized trade (cheaper imported products) seems to be on wane. This development has been heartening for the Company. But the Company cannot let its guard down.

 

Their aim is to bring in stability in short run and be an established contract manufacturer in due course of time.

Notes:

 

1. As per approval of the shareholders of the Company under Section 293 (1) (a) of the Companies Act, 1956, obtained through postal ballot on 22nd May, 2010, the Company has effective from 1st October, 2009 transferred the businesses of two divisions to two 100 % subsidiaries, subject to requisite approvals being obtained from the concerned Statutory Authorities and the Company’s lenders and creditors. The company had applied for approvals of secured/unsecured lenders. However one of the lenders has informed the Company that they are not agreeable to the transfer of the businesses of the two divisions to the two 100% subsidiaries and has declined to give its approval. Besides, the Lead bank of the Consortium for Working Capital has informed the Company not to proceed with hiving-off of assets without the written consent of the Consortium Banks. Consequently, the Company continues to be liable to the lenders for the Term Loans and Unsecured Redeemable Non-Corivert4ble Debentures transferred to the subsidiary companies. The Company has not provided interest on the above for the quarter. Therefore, the company will continue to be liable to the lenders for the Loans/Unsecured Debentures transferred to the two 100% subsidiaries together with interest thereon.

 

2. The reference for Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) has been made recently under the CDR mechanism, instituted by Reserve Bank of India, for restructuring corporate debts of viable corporate entities, affected by internal factors or external factors, for the benefit of all stakeholders. The restructuring requests, inter alia, includes approval of the lenders for the hiving off of the businesses of ESCO and Projects Divisions to two 100% subsidiaries. Pending consideration of such requests, the Company has not yet taken any steps with regard to the non-approval as explained in Note No.1 above.

 

3. Due to current mismatch of inflows and outflows, compounded by delayed recoveries of certain stressed assets, as enumerated in Note No. 4 below, the debt servicing by the Company has been adversely affected. As a result, action has been initiated by some of the lenders of the Company. LIC Mutual Fund has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court for winding up of the Company for non-payment of its dues. The matter is being heard and the Company is representing its case. Bank of India has served upon the Company a Notice under Section 13(2) of The Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Act, 2002 for repayment of dues. Also other banks have sent Demand Notices to the Company for repayment of their dues.

 

4. Consequent to a review made by the Management of the various Assets of the Company, the Management is of the opinion that special efforts over a period of time would be needed for recovery of the following stressed assets which would have an impact on the results of the Company for the quarter:

 

a. Diminution in the value of Investments in Foreign Companies Rs.0.777 million, where the local Managements have deserted the Companies and the businesses have been closed down.

b. Diminution of value if any in the Investments in Unique Waste Plastic Management and Research Company Private Limited of Rs.436.020 millions where the pending disputes with minority shareholders need to be resolved to recover the value of the Investments held by the Company.

c. Inventories of Rs.836.469 millions includes Rs.300.000 millions of old/ unusable stocks, where the Product Lines are discontinued.

d. Sundry Debtors considered good includes Rs.421.623 millions of old Outstandings where the recovery may happen only after due legal actions and settlements of counter claims, if any, which cannot be determined.

e. Loans and Advances considered good includes Rs.292.651 millions of old debit balances where the same may be recovered in the form of assets or will be settled subject to counter claims, if any, which cannot be determined.

f. Cash and Bank balances include Rs.26.100 millions on account of unreconciled bank balances which may not be recoverable /realizable.

 

Non or delayed recoverability of the above Stressed Assets and inadequacy of accruals have adversely affected the debt servicing by the Company and also led to operating losses and erosion of liquidity. The management is of the view that the above stressed assets of various classes may need provision in due course the extent of which cannot be determined at present. Consequently they have been shown as considered good and no provision has been made for the same.

 

The management is of the view that the future viability of the company and its ‘going concern’ assumption would depend on the timely approval of the CDR to the company’s restructuring proposal.

 

5. As recommended by the Board of Directors and approved by the Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 6th July, 2009, the Company is proposing to make a Rights Issue in the ratio of 1:2 to its existing Shareholders in the near future, subject to market conditions and other considerations and the Company has filed Draft Letter of Offer with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited pursuant to which SEBI has issued Observation Letter. The Company is now required to update the Draft Letter of Offer and take the necessary approval of SEBI to proceed with the Rights issue in due course of time. The SEBI Observation Letter is valid upto 24th August, 2011.

 

6. Segment reporting as required under AS — 17 is not applicable for the year, as more than 90% of the revenue comes from a single business segment of Lighting Products / Systems. There is only one geographical segment.

 

7. The above Unaudited Financial Results for the quarter, were reviewed by the Audit Committee and taken on record by the Board of Directors of the Company at their respective Meetings held on 18th August, 2011.

 

8. There were no investor complaints pending at the beginning of the quarter. 13 Complaints/Requests received during the quarter were duly attended. There were no complaints pending at the end of the quarter.

 

9. Previous quarter’s figures have been regrouped / rearranged wherever necessary to make them comparable to those of current quarter.
