Recent arrest of the Chennai head of the Registrar of Companies, the ministry of corporate affairs arm that ensures that companies file all the information required by the Companies Act is the latest manifestation of a messy fight between a father and his adopted son for the control of Rs 40000 mn business empire. The Central Bureau of Investigation arrested Manumeethi Cholan after he accepted Rs 10 lakhs as bribe from M A M Ramaswamy, a CBI official said.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

The financial year 2013-14 proved to be yet another challenging year for the Shipping Industry, more specifically to the Company’s line of business. The Company’s vessel deployments were in India and in some parts across globe viz, Middle East, South East Asia, Egypt and West Africa. The earnings of the Company were impacted by dry docking of vessels as well as economic and geo political factors prevailing in the countries where vessels were deployed.

 

The Company’s strong management acumen focused on optimum deployment days of vessel. This was complemented by financial conservatism and adherence to stringent quality Standards which resulted in Company’s performance to a level of satisfaction.

 

During the year, the Company’s total revenue was Rs.4234.000 millions as against Rs.3614.000 millions in the previous year, an increase of about 17%. Income from operations was Rs.4079.000 millions as against Rs.3373.000 millions in the previous year, reflecting an increase of about 21%. Despite increase in turnover, the Company earned a profit of Rs.10.000 millions which was significantly lower than last years profit of Rs.341.000 millions. The fundamental reason attributed to decline in profit was the dry dock expenses of Rs.451 ml which has a double impact on loss of revenue and cost on account of idling time. Besides above, one of the Company’s vessels was utilized for lesser number of days during the year post completion of long term charter and the vessel under Bare Boat was out of operation for about 120 days due to unforeseen Thruster Problem. Revenue from operations from domestic sector was Rs.2485.000 millions and from overseas sector was Rs.1594.000 millions.

 

On a consolidated basis, total revenue was Rs.4206.000 millions compared to Rs.3587.000 millions of previous year. The consolidated profit arrived at Rs.20.120 millions for the year ended 31st March, 2014.

 

The Company continues to retain its debt free status. Cash Balance at the beginning of financial year was Rs.1004.000 millions. The balance at the end of the year was Rs.1196.000 millions, an increase of 19% over last year.

 

As reported earlier, the Commissioner of Customs (Import) the adjudicating authority confirmed the assessment made by Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) for an aggregate amount of Rs.350.000 millions towards Customs duty, Interest and Penalty in the matter of repairs / modifications carried by Vessels outside India. Against the said order, the Company has preferred a Stay and Appeal before H’ble Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), who while granting the stay has admitted the appeal.

 

In view of low profit earned and on considering the fact that the company being a capital intensive Industry which requires replacement / upgradation of assets, the Directors decided to conserve the surplus for future growth of the Company. Therefore, the Directors have decided not to recommend dividend distribution for the year.

From the Assessment year 2005-06 (relevant accounting year 2004-05) the Company has come under Tonnage regime available for shipping Companies under chapter XII – G of Income Tax Act, 1961. However, due to absence of profit, there has been no Tonnage Tax Reserve created u/s 115V of Income Tax Act, 1961 during this Financial Year.

 

 

OPERATIONS OFFSHORE

 

The Company owns and operates four multi support vessels. The Company operates an additional vessel under Bareboat Charter from SEAMEC INTERNATIONAL FZE, the Company’s Wholly Owned Subsidiary.

 

The Company improved its deployment for 4 nos of Vessel owned during the year as it registered an increase by 10% as compared to previous year. However, overall deployment has declined due to idling of Vessel under Bare Boat Charter for about 120 days, besides three of Company’s own Vessels were in Dry Dock.

 

The Company’s Vessels during the year in general operated in India, Middle East, South East Asia, Egypt and West Africa. One of the Company’s Vessels continues on Long Term Charter and is deployed in Indian waters. Other vessels had established a good deployment status. Another vessel completed Long Term Charter in mid-year. Out of the total 1326 days of deployment, vessels domestic operations registered 732 days and overseas operation was for 594 days. The Vessel owned by SEAMEC INTERNATIONAL FZE, taken under Bareboat Charter, deployed in West Africa for a project with Technip, thereafter moved to Egypt.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS REPORT

 

OVERVIEW

 

The business environment relating to Oil and Gas Sector had a mixed experience of considerable pressure as well as moderate improvements. Stabilization of global economic conditions were witnessed especially in Middle East, South East and Latin America. In the field of pipeline installation and deep water activities there were visible movements.

 

Oil and Gas remain the main source of energy. 2013-14 witnessed global exploration and production expenditure was for about US$ 723 billion, higher by about US $ 41 billion compared to last year. Major contributors being Middle East, Latin America, Russia, US and Europe.

 

SEAMEC continues to show an improved performance with the constant endeavor and effort to grab opportunity. Its Vessels worked in South East Asia, Middle East, Egypt and India during the year. Vessel utilization was 72%.

 

With global exploration and production is expected to rise, more so change in geo political environment in vicinity of Middle East, fleet utilization and day rates for Offshore Vessels are forecast to rise, but will vary by age of asset and region. The outcome of the above will definitely cause a positive impact on – SEAMEC’s line of business.
