Comments :

Subject is a well established company having a moderate track record. There appears sharp dip in its sales and profit during December 2011. The external borrowing seems to be increasing over years. Which act as a threat to the liquidity.

 

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 dealing with some caution.

Appearance:

 

Mr. Anindya Kumar Mitra, Mr. Pratap Chatterjee, Senior advocates, Mr. Gautam Mitra, Mr. Debajyoti Datta, Mr. U.S. Menon, Advocates for petitioner Mr. Jayanta Kumar Mitra, senior advocate, Mr. Ranjan Bachawat, Mr. Sanjay Ginodia, Mr. R.

Mr. Hirak Kumar Mitra, senior advocate,

Mr. Rajiv Lall, advocate for respondent no.4 The Court : When this interlocutory application in connection with the suit was moved before me, I had observed that since a Division Bench of this Court was hearing the self-same issue 2

 

Between the same parties, I could not entertain the application, at least for the time being. I passed such orders on 5th October, 2012 and yesterday. The appeal being AST No.267of 2012, CAN No.9567 of 2012 before the Division Bench was withdrawn today. The issue involved in this application is downgrading of credit rating of the plaintiff by the first defendant. The proforma defendants are group companies of the plaintiff. According to the plaintiff they would also be affected as much as the plaintiff. At the outset I would observe that it does not appear that the "SEBI (Credit Rating Agencies) Regulations, 1999" apply to the case. No public or rights issue is involved. However, credit rating of loans obtained by the plaintiff from banks or a consortium of banks is involved.

 

According to the plaintiff, it obtained sizable loans from banks or a consortium of banks. By an agreement of 3rd September, 2007, they had engaged the first defendant to rate the following loans; "Long Term Loans

 

Short Term Loans

 

Non-Funded Limits

 

Cash Credit Limits"

 

According to clause 6 of the agreement which is Annexure-A to the petition this defendant was to rate the loans as long as they were outstanding.

 

Now it is said that the first defendant had last rated the loan on 5th August, 2010.

 

On 8th August, 2012, the plaintiff entered into an agreement with banks and financial institutions, including State Bank of India.

 

Mr. Anindya Kumar Mitra, learned Advocate General appearing for the plaintiff shows me the provisions of that agreement to argue that any outstanding loan under previous loan agreements became a loan by the consortium to the plaintiff under the 2012 agreement. Hence, there was no outstanding loan. Moreover from 2010 the plaintiff had engaged Care Limited to rate the loans. This was also the requirement of State Bank of India as is evident from their letter dated 24th September, 2012 to the plaintiff which said that the State Bank of India was "using" the rating issued by Care Limited. The cause of great apprehension for the plaintiff apparently arose with the e-mail of 11th September, 2012 to them by the first defendant proposing to down grade their credit rating. This rating was to be published on 13th September, 2012. Mr.Jayanta Kumar Mitra, learned senior advocate appearing for the first defendant showed me the reply mail dated 12th September, 2012 where the plaintiff wanted to appeal against the proposed credit rating.

 

The plaintiff says that this proposed credit rating cannot be published for many reasons. First, the first defendant had no authority to rate the plaintiff. Their contract was terminated by the plaintiff on 10th August, 2012. Moreover, no loan was outstanding under the 3rd September, 2007 agreement, as it was taken over by the consortium of banks under the 8th August, 2012 agreement. Therefore, there could not be any rating.

 

 

Furthermore, the first defendant had not made any rating for the last two years. Their eagerness to rate now was with an ulterior motive. They were trying to help a rival of the plaintiff in Mozambique in Africa.

 

The relationship between the plaintiff and the first defendant was contractual. It was not mandatory for the first defendant to make any credit rating under SEBI regulations. Credit or loan rating of the plaintiff was being done from 2010 by the agency CARE. The learned Advocate General, making the above submissions was supported by Mr. Hirak Kumar Mitra, learned senior Advocate for the proforma defendants.

 

Mr. Jayanta Kumar Mitra, learned senior Advocate appearing for the first defendant submitted that they had the duty under the SEBI regulations, to rate the plaintiff. He produced a circular of the Securities and Exchange Board of India dated 1st March 2012 and referred to clauses 1 and 2 thereof. The alleged letter of termination dated 10th August, 2012 was manufactured, it was submitted. His client had not received the letter. A huge amount of loans, as shown by him from the Annexures to the petition, were outstanding from the plaintiff under the 3rd September, 2007 agreement for which it was obligatory for the first defendant to rate the plaintiff. Now my prima facie findings:

 

There is support for the contention of the learned Advocate General in clause 4.6 of the loan agreement dated 8th August 2012 between the plaintiff and the consortium of banks. It tends to give an option to the financial institutions to treat the outstanding loans of the plaintiff as a fresh loan granted under the agreement or to treat it as a refinance. Clause 6 of the agreement between the plaintiff and the first 5

 

Defendant dated 3rd September, 2007 provided that the rating would only be made "as long as the rated bank loans are outstanding, subject to its having the right to change the Rating at any time for any reason it deems sufficient."

 

Whether the loans obtained by the plaintiff were treated as loans under the 2012 agreement or not has to be established on affidavits, but at this stage there is no contradiction of the above assertion.

 

Whether the existing loans obtained by the plaintiff has been repaid or to what extent has also to be ascertained after filing of affidavits.

 

Having gone through the circular dated 1st March, 2012, I am of the view that clause 2 thereof makes it clear that the SEBI regulations do not apply to these kind of loans. At any rate, the first defendant did not make any credit rating of the plaintiff for two years.

 

Therefore, some prima facie case has been made out by the plaintiff.

 

On the above prima facie case, if the first defendant is allowed to publish the proposed negative credit rating, it would irreparably injure the plaintiff, should they succeed in the suit or in this application.

 

Nevertheless, I fully appreciate the contention of the first defendant that even if the SEBI regulations do not apply, even in case of rating of loans, a credit rating agency has the obligation to rate the loans and to make publication thereof.

 

But the first defendant has not made any publication of ratings for a period of about two years. Furthermore, the interim order granted by the Division Bench of our High Court on 20th September, 2012 in A.S.T.A. 167 of 2012 with A.S.T. 267 of 2012 is continuing till today but will cease to be operative after today.

 

In those circumstances, considering the above prima facie case and the balance of convenience I think that the order passed by the Division Bench of this Court on 20th September, 2012 is to continue till 16th December,2012 or until further orders whichever is earlier. This application should be heard out as expeditiously as possible before that date.

 

Considering, my above observation that a credit rating agency has the right to make public its rating, the credit rating cannot be ordered to be withheld any longer beyond 16th December, 2012 and may be published by the first defendant with the disclaimer or qualification that it is disputed and subject to litigation before this Court.

In view of the above order, as suggested by Mr. Jayanta Kumar Mitra, learned senior Advocate, for the first defendant will be at liberty to publish the following till 16th December, 2012 or until further orders whichever is earlier.

 

"In view of the Order of the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta dated 10th October, 2012, India Ratings is unable at this time to publish its current rating in relation to the loans/financial assistance obtained by Videocon Industries Limited

 

 

This order is passed without prejudice to the contentions of the first defendant regarding the maintainability of the suit and application.

 

Affidavit-in-opposition is to be filed by 23rd November, 2012. List this application on 3rd December, 2012. Affidavit-in-reply may be filed in the meantime.

 

All parties concerned are to act on a signed photocopy of this order on the usual undertakings.

BRAZIL

 

21st September, 2011: Petrobras, the Operator of the BM-SEAL- 11 Concession in the Sergipe Basin announced that the presence of oil and gas accumulations, confirmed after completing the drilling, logging, sampling fluid in a formation testing operations at Barra well (1-SES-158) with the presence of excellent reservoirs with good porosities and permeabilities at several depths.

 

 

MOZAMBIQUE

 

7th February, 2011:  Anadarko announced the latest in a string of major deepwater natural gas discoveries off the coast of Mozambique. The Tubarão discovery well encountered more than 110 net feet of natural gas pay

 

22nd August, 2011: Anadarko announced that the Barquetine - 2 appraisal well, located in Mozambique’s Offshore Area 1 of the Rovuma Basin, encountered more than 230 net feet (70 meters) of natural gas pay in high quality Oligocene-age reservoirs. Barquetine - 2 was the first appraisal well in the Windjammer, Barquentine and Lagosta complex, which is estimated to hold a minimum of 6 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of recoverable natural gas resources.

 

5th October, 2011: Anadarko announced that the appraisal section of most recent exploration well at the Camarão prospect encountered approximately 240 net feet (73 meters) of natural gas pay in an excellent quality reservoir and confirmed static pressure connectivity with the partnerships’ previously announced Windjammer and Lagosta discoveries. In addition, the Camarão well discovered approximately 140 net feet (43 meters) of natural gas pay in shallower Miocene and Oligocene sand packages not encountered in previous wells.

 

28th November, 2011: Barquetine-3 appraisal well encounters more than 662 net feet (202 meters) of natural gas pay in two high-quality Oligocene-aged fan systems, significantly expanding the estimated recoverable resource range to 15 to 30 + trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas, with an estimated 30 to 50 + Tcf of natural gas in place.

 

 

Post Balance Sheet date

 

17th January, 2012: Anadarko announced its seventh well in the discovery area offshore Mozambique successfully appraised previous discoveries at Lagosta and Camarão. The Lagosta-2 appraisal well, located about 4.4 miles (7 kilometers) north of the Lagosta discovery and 5.3 miles (8.5 kilometers) south of the Camarão well, encountered 777 total net feet (237 meters) of natural gas pay in multiple zones.

 

12th March, 2012: Anadarko announced the results of its first flow test offshore Mozambique. The Barquentine-2 well flowed at an equipment – constrained rate of 90 to 100 Million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d), with minimal pressure drawdown, providing confidence in well designs that are capable of 100 to 200 MMcf/d.  4th April, 2012 Anadarko announced the success of the Barquentine-4 appraisal well which encountered approximately 160 net meters of natural gas pay.

 

15th May, 2012: Anadarko announced that Golfinho exploration well discovered a new, major natural gas accumulation nearly 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of its Properidade complex within the Offshore Area 1 of the Rovuma Basin. The Golfinho discovery well encountered more than 193 net feet (59 net meters) of natural gas pay in two high-quality Oligocene fan systems that are age-equivalent to, but geologically distinct from, the previous discoveries in the Prosperidade complex.

BPCL, VIDEOCON JOIN HANDS FOR LNG PLANT IN MOZAMBIQUE

 

December 21, 2012, 07.10 PM IST

 

The huge natural-gas discovery in a block in Mozambique where Bharat Petroleum Corp Limited (BPCL) and Videocon Industries are partners, will be turned into LNG at a plant to be jointly built with neighbouring gas field operator Eni SpA of Italy.

 

Anadarko Petroleum Corp, the operator of Offshore Area 1 where BPCL and Videocon hold 10-percent each, and Eni will join forces to build a single liquefaction plant that will turn gas in the two fields into liquid so that it can be exports in cryogenic ships.

 

The plant in the Cabo Delgado province in northern Mozambique, is scheduled to start operating in 2018 with a capacity of 20 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year, Anadarko said in a press statement.

 

The capacity will be split evenly between the Anadarko-led project and Eni's development of Offshore Area 4. The two companies will conduct separate yet coordinated offshore activities.

 

The LNG complex will in time have capacity to produce about 50 million tonnes of LNG a year, Anadarko said. Anadarko said heads of agreement (HOA) have been signed with Eni "establishing foundational principles for the coordinated development of the common natural gas reservoirs spanning both Mozambique's Offshore Area 1 (operated by Anadarko) and Offshore Area 4 (operated by Eni)."

 

"The HOA is designed to facilitate a work program whereby the two operators will conduct separate, yet coordinated, offshore development activities, while jointly planning and constructing common onshore liquefaction facilities in the form of an LNG park in the Cabo Delgado province of northern Mozambique," the statement said.

 

Two major natural gas discoveries have so far been made in Offshore Area 1 of Mozambique's Rovuma Basin. The Prosperidade complex is estimated to hold between 17 and 30-plus trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of recoverable natural gas while separate and distinct Golfinho/Atum complex is estimated to hold 15 to 35 Tcf of recoverable natural gas resources.

 

Evaluation of a third discovery on the block, Tubarão, is ongoing with an appraisal well that is expected to be drilled in early 2013. Anadarko is the operator of the Offshore Area 1 Block with a 36.5-percent interest while Mitsui EandP Mozambique Area 1 has 20 percent. BPRL Ventures Mozambique BV (a unit of BPCL's exploration subsidiary Bharat PetroResources Limited) and

 

Videocon Mozambique Rovuma 1 Limited have 10-percent stake each. PTT Exploration and Production Plc has 8.5 percent. The balance 15 percent is with Empressa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH), the national oil company of Mozambique.

 

Eni is the operator of the Area 4 field with a 70-percent stake. Other partners in the Mozambique project are Portugues group Galp Energia, South Korean firm KOGAS, and Mozambique's ENH.

Videocon announces New Natural Gas Discovery Offshore Mozambique

 

Establishes Second Major Natural Gas Complex in the Offshore Area 1 making field one of the largest gas discoveries in the world in decades.

 

Videocon Industries Limited (Videocon) advises that Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko) today announced the Atum exploration well discovered another significant natural gas accumulation within the Offshore Area 1 of the Rovuma Basin. The Atum discovery well encountered more than 300 net feet (92 meters) of natural gas pay in two high-quality Oligocene fan systems. Preliminary data indicates this latest discovery is connected to the partnership’s recent Golfinho discovery located approximately 10 miles (16.5 kilometers) to the northwest in the Offshore Area 1.


Anadarko is the operator in the Offshore Area 1 with a 36.5% working interest and Videocon holds 10% working interest. Other co-ownders include Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area 1, Limited (20%), BPRL Ventures Mozambique B.V. (10%) and Cove Energy Mozambique Rouvma Offshore, Limited (8.5%), Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarobnetos, ep's 15% interest is carried through the exploration phase.

 

"The combined success at Atum and Golfinho and apparent connectivity of these Oligocene fan systems, indicate these discoveries represent our partnership's second major natural gas complex offshore Mozambique," said Sr. Vice President, Worldwide Exploration Bob Daniels. "We estimate this new complex, which is located entirely within the Offshore Area 1 block, holds 10 to 30-plus trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of incremental recoverable natural gas resources. We plan to immediately commence a four-well appraisal program of this complex, which has the potential to underpin a large LNG development."

 

The Atum exploration well was drilled to a total depth of approximately 12,665 feet (3,860 meters), in water depths of approximately 3,285 feet (1,000 meters). Once operations are complete at Atum, the partnership plans to commence appraisal activities that are expected to be followed by a drillstem testing program in the Golfinho and Atum complex.

 

"With this latest discovery at Atum and a successful upcoming appraisal program, we believe the total estimated recoverable natural gas resource in Mozambique's Offshore Area 1 is between 30 and 60 Tcf, and the current upside for total gas in place for the discovered reservoirs on the block is approaching 100 Tcf. We still have additional exploration opportunities that could expand the resource potential further," said Anadarko President and CEO Al Walker. "A recoverable resource base of this scale supports our initial two-train development plans, as well as significant future expansions. Our current activity is focused on achieving reserve certification and a Final Investment Decision in 2013, as the partnership works toward expected first sales of LNG in 2018."
