Subject is an established company having a moderate track record.
There appears huge loss during the current year. The external borrowing of the company is huge which tend to impact the
liquidity position of the company. However, trade relations are reported to be fair. Business is active.
Payments are reported to be slow but correct. The company can be considered for business dealings with some caution.

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces
of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial
deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on
foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to
accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since
1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern
agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of
services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but
services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half
of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has
capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major
exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the
Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large
part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in
real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently
high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High
international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy
expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current
account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to
corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term
growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low
dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing
integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that
it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate
physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment
opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and
accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

OPERATIONS
The Company is engaged
in the business of manufacturing value added products including LAM Coke, High
Carbon Ferro Chrome, Pig Iron, Sponge Iron and Special Steel Billets / Blooms,
Bars and Wire Rods. In addition, the Company generates Power mainly for captive
use. During the year, the Company’s financial performance has been adversely
affected due to the non-availability of raw material, increasing raw material
costs, high bank interest rates and volatile foreign exchange. Due to shortage
in availability of iron ore, Iron and Steel making facilities, i.e. Blast
Furnace, DRI, SMS and Rolling Mill operated at very low production level and
the Company was unable to achieve its revenue potential.
The Company has
registered a revenue growth of 3% to Rs.13918.96 million in the FY’2011-12
compared to Rs.13466.45 million during the FY’2010- 11. The operating margins
decreased to 8% at Rs.1060.62 million in the FY’2011-12 versus 18% at
Rs.2376.09 million in the previous year. The PBT fell from Rs.864.55 million
for the FY’2010-11 to a loss of Rs.1964.85 million. PAT fell from Rs.513.77
million during the previous financial year to a loss of Rs.1188.54 million
during the FY’2011-12.
During the year,
the Company’s volumes were impacted by the uneconomical prices of Iron Ore and
Chrome Ore. The production of Coke was 354,634 MT compared to 340,339 MT in the
previous year. The production of High Carbon Ferro Chrome was lower at 22,368
MT compared to 44,372 MT during the previous year. The production of Pig Iron
was 84,454 MT compared to 46,233 MT in the previous year. The production of
Sponge Iron was 157,356 MT compared to 134,538 MT in the previous year. The
captive power generated during the year was 435 million units as against 226
million units in the previous year and Steel production during the year was
45,772 MT.
The Company has
decided to set up a 0.5 MTPA Iron Ore Sinter Plant in order to hedge the iron
ore procurement as it is currently buying only sized iron ore. This would also
ensure continuous smooth running of the Blast Furnace. The Iron Ore Sinter
Plant would enhance the profitability of the Blast Furnace and would further
reduce the cost of raw material and improve the productivity of the Steel
making facilities.
The Company’s
subsidiary – VISA BAO Limited, is setting up a 100,000 TPA Ferro Chrome Plant
with 4 Submerged Arc Furnaces of 16.5 MVA each at Kalinganagar in Odisha. The
Company has made significant progress towards implementation of the project and
the project is scheduled to be completed in phases during second half of the
financial year 2012-13.
SUBSIDIARIES
The Company has
two subsidiaries namely, VISA BAO Limited and Ghotaringa Minerals Limited:
(i)
VISA BAO Limited (VBL) is a Joint Venture between
the Company and Baosteel Resources Company Limited, China. VBL is setting up a
100,000 TPA Ferro Chrome Plant in Odisha.
(ii)
Ghotaringa Minerals Limited (GML) is a Joint
Venture between the Company and Orissa Industries Limited (ORIND) for assisting
ORIND for developing a chrome ore deposit and is awaiting various Government
approvals.
MANAGEMEN
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
During the
financial year 2011-12, the Company’s performance has been adversely affected
due to non availability of raw material, increasing raw material cost, high
interest rates and volatile foreign exchange. During
the financial year
2011-12, the Company registered a 3% growth in revenues to Rs.13,918.96
million, but a 55% drop in EBIDTA to Rs.1,060.62 million. PAT fell from
Rs.513.77 million during the previous financial year to a loss of Rs.1,188.54
million during the financial year 2011-12.
INDUSTRY
STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
STEEL
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The global economy
is witnessing another period of uncertainty due to the European Sovereign debt
crisis. The increase in inflation in emerging economies has led to a sharp hike
in interest rates, which has resulted in slowdown in demand. The global
financial uncertainty has also resulted in volatility in exchange rates.
The global Steel
industry has witnessed reasonable demand growth and Steel making capacities
have gradually shifted to emerging markets such as China and India. However,
the high cost of raw materials and increased volatility in prices has put
pressure on margins.
The Steel industry
in India has suffered due to non availability and high prices of Iron Ore which
has impacted Steel production. The Iron Ore mining ban in Karnataka and
subsequent impact in Iron Ore production in Goa and Odisha has forced many
Steel Companies to operate at reduced capacities and even close down
operations. It is expected that the raw material constraints shall ease towards
second half of FY’2012-13 and mines will gradually get back to normal
production.
The Government of
India has imposed an export tax of 30% on export of Iron Ore and Chrome Ore
which should discourage exports and encourage value addition within the
Country. The removal of 5% import duty on thermal coal is also a relief for the
Sponge Iron based Steel producers.
The Indian economy
is expected to grow at 7.6% in 2012-13 against 6.9% in 2011-12. The economy is
likely to grow significantly over the next decade driven by the infrastructure
(power, road, railways, ports etc.) and consumption (automobile, real estate
etc.) sectors which will result in sustained growth in demand for various Iron
and Steel products.
The States of
Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand which account for majority of the Iron Ore
and Coal reserves in the Country will remain the most attractive locations for
setting up Iron and Steel manufacturing capacity.
The Odisha
Government is currently reviewing the renewal of all expired mining leases
which are operating under deemed extension, which will offer an opportunity for
Steel producers in Odisha. Meanwhile, the draft MMDR Bill is also under
discussion.

Company’s current saleable products include Iron and Steel products such as LAM
Coke, High Carbon Ferro
Chrome,
Pig Iron, Sponge Iron and Special Steel Billets / Blooms, Bars and Wire Rods.

BUSINESS REVIEW
The Company is
engaged in the business of manufacturing value added products including LAM
Coke, High Carbon Ferro Chrome, Pig Iron, Sponge Iron and Special Steel Billets
/ Blooms, Bars and Wire Rods. In addition, the Company generates power mainly
for captive use.
The manufacturing
facilities of the Company are situated at Kalinganagar which includes Coke Oven,
Ferro Chrome, Blast Furnace, Sponge Iron, Power and Special Steel and at
Golagaon in Odisha where the Chrome Ore Beneficiation and Chrome Ore Grinding
Plants are located.
During the year,
the Company’s financial performance has been adversely affected due to the
non-availability of raw material, increasing raw material costs, high bank
interest rates and volatile foreign exchange. Due to shortage in availability
of iron ore, Iron and Steel making facilities, i.e. Blast Furnace, DRI, SMS and
Rolling Mill operated at very low production level and the Company was unable
to achieve its revenue potential.
IRON
AND STEEL PRODUCTS
(a)
LAM COKE
The Coke Oven
Plant, with a total capacity of 400,000 TPA, operates on the stamp-charging
technology which allows blending of semi-soft and semi-hard Coking Coals with
prime hard Coking Coals to produce Low Ash Metallurgical Coke.
The total coke
production during 2011-12 was 354,634 MT compared to 340,339 MT in 2010-11.
Coking coal, the primary raw material for producing coke, was imported from
Australia. Coke was partly consumed in the Blast Furnace and partly sold with
total sales contribution amounting to Rs.5,659.30 million, equating to 40% of
total revenues.
(b)
FERRO CHROME
The Ferro Chrome
Plant, with a total capacity of 50,000 TPA produced 22,368 MT of Ferro Chrome
in 2011-12 compared to 44,372 MT in 2010-11. The main raw material is Chrome
Ore, Coke and Power. Ferro Chrome is sold to various Special and Stainless
Steel Plants in India and globally. The sales contributed 10% of total revenues
during the year amounting to Rs.1,415.88 million.
(c)
PIG IRON
The Blast Furnace
with a total capacity of 225,000 TPA is currently producing Hot Metal which is
poured into moulds to produce Pig Iron. Hot Metal / Pig Iron was partly
consumed for making Special Steel and partly sold to various Steel and foundry
customers in eastern and northern India.
The total hot
metal production during 2011-12 was 84,454 MT as compared to 46,233 MT of hot
metal in 2010-11.
Pig iron sales
contributed to 13% of the total revenues of the Company during the year,
amounting to Rs.1,826.19 million.
(d)
SPONGE IRON
The Sponge Iron
Plant having capacity of 300,000 TPA produced 157,356 MT during 2011-12 of
Sponge Iron as against 134,538 MT of Sponge Iron during 2010-11. It has
contributed 20% of the total revenues amounting to Rs.2,890.01 million.
The main raw
materials for Sponge Iron Plant are Iron Ore and Thermal Coal. Iron Ore is
procured mainly from OMC and JSPL. Thermal Coal is procured from Mahanadi
Coalfields Limited and also imported from South Africa.
(e)
POWER
The Power Plant
produced 435 million KWH of power during the year 2011-12 as against 226
million KWH produced during 2010-11. The Power produced was mainly used
captively.
(f)
SPECIAL STEEL
The Steel
production was 45,772 MT during the year 2011-12.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The availability
and pricing of raw materials mainly Iron Ore has been a major challenge for the
Company and has impacted the Special Steel operations. In view of the same, the
Company has decided to set up an Iron Ore Sinter Plant in order to hedge the
iron ore procurement as it is currently buying only sized iron ore. This would
also ensure continuous smooth running of the Blast Furnace and consequently the
Special Steel Plant. The Iron Ore Sinter Plant would enhance the profitability
of the Blast Furnace and would reduce the cost of raw material and improve the
productivity of the Steel making facilities.
OUTLOOK
India has immense
potential for creating new steel capacity. Indian per capita steel consumption
is presently very low compared to world average which further re-confirms the
opportunities for steel demand to continue accelerating in the times ahead. The
Company with a well diversified product portfolio is well poised to take
advantage of the growth in the demand for Special Steel products, Coke and
Ferro Chrome.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (AS ON 31.03.2012)

VISA STEEL WILL USE RS 3680.000 MILLIONS SUNCOKE
DEAL TO REPAY DEBT
Kolkata, Dec. 12:
Visa Steel Limited will close the Rs 3680.000
Millions transaction with SunCoke Energy Inc for 49 per cent stake in Visa Coke
Limited (VCL), its wholly owned subsidiary by January end.
Vishal Agarwal, Vice-Chairman and MD, Visa Steel,
told Business Line on
Wednesday the deal with NYSE-listed SunCoke will be wrapped up and formalised
by next month.
A significant part of the deal consideration will
be used to reduce its long-term as well as working capital borrowings of around
Rs 20000.000 Millions.
The transaction, structured by KPMG, would bring in
Rs 3550.000 Millions to Visa Steel and the balance would go to the equity of
VCL.
VCL, having a four lakh tonnes-a-year heat recovery
coke plant and steam generation units, has been carved out of Visa Steel’s
Kalinganagar three lakh tonnes a year sponge iron project in Odisha.
The Kalinganagar coke unit is located on a plot of
25 acres and the sponge iron and steel project covers an area of 500 acres.
The deal wrap up would involve payment (in rupee
terms) by SunCoke, share transfer and representation of SunCoke on the VCL
board.
Visa Steel has sought approval of the lenders as
well as shareholders to the joint venture proposal.
The shareholders ballot result would be known on
January 7.
Parallel to this, a meeting with lenders is
expected to be held.
Visa Steel in September got a CDR package approved,
which provided for an initial two-year moratorium and an extended term of
repayment for next eight years. A consortium of 18 banks, led by SBI, is the
lending group.
The CDR has also brought down interest rate by 300
basis points, Agarwal said.
Meanwhile, Visa Steel’s 65:35 joint venture with
Bao Steel of China for manufacturing one lakh tonnes a year of high carbon ferro
chrome is slated to be operational, according to a revised deadline, in March
next year.
The joint venture would feed Bao’s Shanghai
stainless steel unit with 70 per cent of its production.
The rest would be for domestic sale.
The Visa Steel stock on Wednesday finished 0.32 per
cent down at Rs 47.35 on the BSE.
VISA STEEL PROMOTERS
TO SELL STAKE TO PARE DEBT
MUMBAI – JUNE 11, 2012
Promoters of Visa Steel, part of the Rs.50000.000 Millions Visa Group, are looking to shed part of their stake in the company to raise funds and pare down debt, two persons familiar with the development said.
Promoters own 74% stake in Visa Steel. "We have a large promoter stake in the company. So, there's always an option to sell some stake," said a senior official with the company. "We are monitoring the market conditions and when the time is right, a stake sale can happen." He, however, did not specify the quantum of stake that will be offloaded.
"We had approached merchant bankers last year to sell some stake, but it did not work out," said the company's spokesperson, when contacted. "However, we were unable to get the buyers and, finally, we had to go for corporate debt restructuring."
The company's Rs.30000.000 Millions debt was referred for corporate debt restructuring last week. The steelmaker, which has a 0.5 million tonne per annum integrated steel plant in Orissa, made a net loss of Rs.1180.000 in fiscal 2012 compared to a profit of Rs.510.000 Millions in the previous fiscal. It has a market valuation of Rs.5500.000 Millions as per its last closing price of Rs.500.000 Millions.
Vishambhar Saran, who worked with Tata Steel for 25 years, set up the Visa Group in 1994.
In 2010, Visa Steel announced plans to expand the Orissa plant's capacity to 2.5 million tonne and, subsequently, to 4.86 million tonne by 2014. Apart from the Orissa plant, the steelmaker is also waiting for government approvals to start a 2.5 million tonne per annum steel plant in Chhattisgarh and a 1.25 million tonne per annum steel plant in Madhya Pradesh.
The company also has a joint venture with Chinese steelmaker Bao Steel called Visa Bao. The J V produces 100,000 tonne of ferro-chrome alloy per year from its plant Kalinganagar in Orissa.
Visa Steel raw material supply chain has hit a roadblock. Supply from the company's Gandhamaran and Daitari iron ore mines in Orissa were suspended in September 2011 after the Orissa Mining Corporation said that the mines were in a forest area and needed Forest Clearance. The company is also yet to receive approvals for its Horomoto mines in Orissa.
The constraints raised the company's raw material costs for the 2012 fiscal by 30% to Rs.1038.000 Millions from Rs.8000.000 Millions last fiscal. Raw material costs account for nearly 75% of the company's total revenues for the fiscal. Steelmakers like Tata Steel and SAIL spend around 25-30% of their annual revenues on raw materials. JSW Steel, which also faced raw material supply constraints in the 2012 fiscal, spent 65% of its annual revenues on raw materials.
