FINANCIAL RESULTS AND APPROPRIATIONS

 

The initiatives taken by the Company for enhancement of productivity, cost reduction and selective up-gradation of plant and machinery had yielded result. The Cable Division registered a growth in turnover of 17.75% during the year in spite of the critical working capital position. The turnover of the Project Division drastically fell primarily due to its inability to paticipate in public tenders of PSUs since the negative net-worth companies were not eligible to participate in such tenders. As a result the division hardly received any order during the year. The working capital position continued to remain critical throughout the year. On the contrary, the situation had further worsened owing to commencement of repayment of loan as per the CDR scheme. Owing to the high debt burden, interest cost has increased by 9%. The interest cost is likely to further increase in the current year unless another restructuring of finances is carried out.

 

In response to the application filed before BIFR, the Company has been declared sick by the order dated 7th September 2011. Allahabad Bank has been appointed as the Operating Agency for the Company to work out the Debt Restructuring Scheme (DRS) package for submission to BIFR. The Company had signed a definitive agreement for a Joint Venture with M/s Oriental Manufacturers Private Limited (Oriental) for transfer of Project business to a separate SPV and the same has been approved by you. Oriental or it’s subsidiary is to hold majority stake in the said newly formed Company, and the Company being the minority stakeholder therein. The Company’s proposal in this regard has been taken up before AAIFR.

 

 

FINANCE

 

The factors mentioned earlier coupled with acute shortage of finance, the financial results of the Company did not show much of improvement. The instalment payments for Preference Shares of WBIDC had fallen due. Due to inability to pay the instalment, the Company submitted restructuring proposal to WBIDC, which is yet to be approved. TDB has approved a package but unfortunately it is not in line with CDR package. The shortage of working capital was a major issue during the year. Out of the funds mobilized by sale of investments, the Company as per CDR scheme earmarked some funds for much needed Capital Expenditure. With the earmarked fund the Company could revamp the wire-drawing section. Additional capex requirements and source of funding would be considered in DRS.

 

The arbitration award in respect to the dispute with M/s Prysmian has gone against the Company. The Company is exploring legal possibilities for establishing the counter claims. However the additional liabilities arising from the arbitration award has been provided for in the books of accounts.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Industry Structure and Development

 

Power Cables Division :

 

The Energy Cables sector registered a growth of 13% (in kms) in 2011-12. However due to over-capacity in the industry, margins continued to be under extreme pressure in all areas especially in the Medium Voltage XLPE Cables and Low Voltage Power Cables. Both Medium Voltage and Low Voltage Power Cables are predominantly dependant on growth in Distribution Sector of Power Utilities and overall Infrastructure and this sector is not growing as per the National plan. Cable Division is therefore concentrating on special cables segment which has slightly better margins and also offers reasonable growth potential. There has been tremendous pressure on collections due to tight monetary position in the market.

 

Project Division

 

The Project Division executes on a turn-key basis multidisciplinary engineering projects. It has established itself as an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor of repute in the Country. The Division also provides Engineering Consultancy Services. The target industries are Oil and Gas, Petrochemicals, Refineries, Nuclear Power, Ferrous and Non Ferrous and Chemical Industries. Stiff competition and shortage of working capital are serious threat for the performance of the Division. Moreover negative net-worth of the Company is the major hindrance for securing orders.

 

Outlook

 

It is envisaged that the working capital situation will remain critical in the current year. With the continued thrust in improving the operational efficiencies and the financial parameters, the Directors are endeavouring to achieve better financial performance in the current financial year.

Notes :

 

1.       The above audited financial results, after being reviewed by audit committee, were approved by the Board of Directors during meeting dated 09th May, 2013.

 

2.       The Board of Directors and subsequently shareholders have approved an agreement for a Joint venture between the Company and Oriental Manufactures Private Limited (OMPL) for formation of a jointly controlled entity for the purpose of assigning future business and some running projects of Project Division therein. OMPL through amalgamation with M/S Sarabhai Machinery Private Limited vide order of Gujrat High Court changed it's name to M/S Oriental Enterprise Private Limited (OEPL). The Company's proposal in this regard has been taken up before AAIFR for approval.

 

3.       BIFR had directed Allahabad Bank, the Operating Agenct to submit a rehabilitation package, which is being worked out in consultation with Ernst and Young Private Limited

4.       Issue of equity shares against proceeds of application money from NRETF amounting to Rs.30.100 Millions is pending approval from appropriate authorities. As such dilution of EPS on this account could not be considered.

 

5.       In line with approved CDR package and with the BIFR's approval, the company has disposed of it's stake in equity and preference shares in lone subsidiary, Nicco Biotech Limited, valuing Rs.127.000 Millions in aggregate at Rs.119.422 Millions which resulted in capital loss of Rs.7.578 Millions in respect of current quarter.

 

6.       Audit observations:

 

a.       15,67,600, 5% cumulative redeemable preference shares of Rs.100/- each are overdue for redemption. Renewal/restructuring of the same shall be addressed in the scheme.

 

b.       Retention of brought forward balance since 01.04.2011 against deferred tax asset (net) is ascribed to management action plan confirming adequacy of future profit. However subsequent addition/accretion thereon has been done away with as a measure of abundant prudence.

 

c.       March quarterly result represent balancing of figures published for 9 months period ended on 31.12.2012 vis-ŕ-vis annual financial results.

d.
