GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Subject is engaged in the manufacturing of Iron and Steel products including LAM Coke, High Carbon Ferro Chrome, Pig Iron, Sponge Iron and Special Steel with captive power plant at Kalinganagar, Odisha. Incorporated on 10 September 1996, subject has its registered office at Bhubaneswar and Corporate Office in Kolkata with manufacturing units in Kalinganagar and Golagaon and branch offices across India. Subject is a Public Limited Company with its shares listed on BSE Limited (BSE) and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE). During the year, the Company has transferred its coke business on going concern basis

 

OPERATIONS

 

The Company is pursuing Special Steel Business, Ferro Chrome and Captive Power Business and Coke Business. The Special Steel Business includes production of Hot Metal/Pig Iron, DRI/Sponge Iron, Special Steel Blooms/Billets and Bar and Wire Rods. Whereas, the Ferro Chrome Business includes production of High Carbon

Ferro Chrome and generation of power for captive use and the Coke Business includes production of Coke and steam. During the year, the Company’s financial performance has been adversely affected due to non-availability of raw material, increasing raw material costs 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 levels and the Company was unable to achieve its revenue potential.

 

The consolidated total revenue of the Company increased by 41 percent at Rs.14685.380 Million for the financial year 2013-14, as compared to Rs.10443.67 Million for the previous year. The profit before interest, depreciation, tax and exceptional item is Rs.1247.200 Million in the financial year 2013-14, compared with loss of Rs.67.070 Million.

 

During the year, the Company improved its revenues due to substantially better operational performance, although capacity utilisation was still low due to the uneconomical prices of Iron Ore & Chrome Ore. The Blast Furnace having installed capacity of 225,000 TPA produced 105,718 MT Pig Iron as compared to 854 MT in the previous year. The DRI Plant, having installed capacity of 300,000 TPA produced 156,082 MT Sponge Iron as compared to 80,514 MT in the previous year. The Company has decided to set up a Iron Ore Sinter Plant in order to improve productivity of the Blast Furnace and reduce cost of raw material.

 

The Ferro Alloys Business, with a total current operating capacity of 120,000 TPA of Ferro Alloys (including the Furnaces taken on lease from VISA BAO Limited, a subsidiary Company), produced 70,568 MT of Ferro Chrome in the financial year 2013-14 compared to 36,344 MT in 2012-13. The generation of electricity from Company’s Captive Power Plant, having installed capacity of 657.000 Million units per annum, produced 434.820 Million units in financial year 2013-14 as compared to 311.980 Million units in the previous year. Production of Chrome Concentrates from the 200,000 TPA Chrome Ore Beneficiation & Grinding Plant was affected due to non-availability of Low Grade Chrome Ore.

 

The Company has 51% stake in VISA SunCoke Limited (VSCL) which is operating the business of manufacturing and sale of Metallurgical Coke and associated Steam Generation Units. VSCL’s production of Coke was 370,099 MT during the year and there has been a significant improvement in operating performance during the year.

 

The Company’s financial performance has been adversely affected due to high raw material costs and weak product prices. The Steel Business has been affected due to delay in forest clearance of Baliparvat Stockyard at OMC’s Daitari Iron Ore mines and several Iron Ore mine closures due to Shah Commission investigation and Supreme Court judgment dated 16 May 2014. The over capacity and excess production in China and adverse duty structure domestically has further impacted the Steel Business. The Ferro Chrome Business has been affected due to frequent stoppage in the supply of Chrome Ore and Concentrates due to closure of Chrome Ore mines, whereas the Power Plant was affected due to stoppage of Coal Linkage and de-allocation of Coal Block. The Coke Business performance has been affected due to sluggish demand for Coke. Demand of Coke from Blast Furnaces is significantly lower due to Iron Ore shortages. Price of Coke is weak due to cheap imports of Coke from China after removal of Export Tax on Chinese Coke.

 

The Company is in advanced stage to transfer its Special Steel Business to VISA Special Steel Limited, a subsidiary of the Company in order to improve focus and facilitate fund raising through strategic / financial investor. The accumulated losses of the Company exceeded 50% of its net worth as at 31 March 2014. However, subsequent to the business re-organisation and with the expected improvement in raw material scenario, the Company expects the net worth to improve. In view of the above and the newly enacted Companies Act, the Company is not referring the matter to the Competent Authority. The replacement value of the assets is much higher than the book value, and the Company plans to unlock value in the Special Steel Business and Ferro Alloys Business through strategic / financial investors as it has done by inducting a strategic investor in the Coke Business.

 

 

SUBSIDIARIES

 

The Company has seven subsidiaries including indirect subsidiaries namely, VISA BAO Limited, VISA SunCoke Limited, Ghotaringa Minerals Limited, Kalinganagar Special Steel Private Limited, Kalinganagar Chrome Private Limited, VISA Special Steel Limited and VISA Ferro Chrome Limited:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

During the financial year 2013-14, the Company’s operations performance has improved significantly. However, financial performance has been adversely affected due to external factors resulting in high raw material costs and weak product prices.

During the financial year 2013-14, the Company has registered consolidated revenue of Rs.14,685.38 Million, EBITDA of Rs.1,247.20 Million and the loss after tax is Rs.1,478.28 Million.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

Steel Industry Overview

The Global economy has slowed down, mainly due to lower growth rates in emerging economies such as China and India. This has resulted in weakening of commodity prices. The Indian economy has been going through challenging times with high inflation and high interest rates affecting all sectors and resulting in lower than 5 % GDP growth. India’s GDP growth has slowed down in 2013 on account of rising inflation and tight monetary controls.

 

The Indian manufacturing and mining sector’s GDP declined by 0.7 % and 1.4 %, respectively in 2013-14. Key reasons for the poor performance have been contraction in mining activities and consequent deceleration in manufacturing output. Further, decline in investment by the private sector has added to the woes of the sector. The Global Steel demand grew by 3.6 % to 1.48 Billion Tonnes due to improved performance in the developed economies especially in North America and Euro Zone in the second half of the year. In 2013, India remained the 4th largest steel producing country in the world, behind China, Japan and the US. Crude Steel production grew by 4.6 % to 81.2 Million Tonnes and Steel demand grew by 1.8 %. The Indian Steel Sector has been adversely affected due to high raw material costs and weak product prices. The Iron Ore production has dropped significantly due to delay in forest clearance and several Iron Ore mine closures due to Shah Commission investigation and Supreme Court judgment dated 16 May 2014. The over capacity and excess production in China and adverse duty structure domestically has further affected the Steel Business in India. The Steel Plants have also been affected by the stoppage of Coal Linkage and de-allocation of Coal Block(s).

 

There is a huge growth potential in steel consumption in India given that per capita steel consumption is very low compared to China and the global average. With a stable Government in place and a strong leadership, it is expected that major policy decision in various areas will boost the economy. Any significant improvement in demand for Iron and Steel products may take a little longer and show up once investments in infrastructure and

construction industries start picking up.

 

Company Overview

 

The Company has created a world class facility for production of Special Steel, Ferro Chrome and Metallurgical Coke at Kalinganagar in Odisha.

 

BUSINESS REVIEW

 

The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing value added products including LAM Coke, 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 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 non-availability of raw material, increasing raw material costs, high interest rates and foreign exchange volatility. Due to shortage in availability of iron ore, Iron and Steel making facilities, i.e. Blast Furnace, Sponge Iron, SMS and Rolling Mill operated at very low production level and were unable to achieve its revenue potential. Other units i.e. Coke Oven, Ferro Chrome and Power Plant have operated at moderate capacity.

 

Products

(a) Ferro Alloys

The Ferro Alloy Plant, with a total capacity of 120,000 TPA (including the furnaces of VISA BAO Limited, subsidiary company taken on lease) produced 70,568 MT of Ferro Chrome in 2013-14 compared to 36,344 MT in 2012- 13. The main raw material is Chrome Ore and Chrome Concentrates (sourced from OMC, Tata Steel & B. C. Mohanty), Coke and Ferro Chrome produced by the Company is sold to various Special and Stainless Steel Plants in India and globally. Ferro Alloy Business has contributed 33.77 % of total revenues during the year amounting to Rs.4,959.34 Million.

 

(b) Power

The Power Plant produced 435 Million units of power during the year 2013-14 as against 312 Million units produced during 2012-13. The Power produced was mainly used captively.

 

(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. Due to non-availability of Iron Ore at viable prices, Blast furnace operated at a low capacity with production of 105,718 MT during the year. Pig Iron sales contributed 9.78 % to the total revenues amounting to Rs.1,436.83 Million.

 

(d) Sponge Iron

The Sponge Iron Plant having total capacity of 300,000 TPA produced 156,082 MT during 2013-14 of Sponge Iron as against 80,514 MT of Sponge Iron during 2012- 13. Sponge Iron sales contributed 19.41 % to the total revenues amounting to Rs.2,850.94 Million.

 

The main raw materials for DRI/Sponge Iron Plant are Iron Ore and Thermal Coal. Iron Ore is procured mainly

from OMC, Indrani Patnaik and BRPL. Thermal Coal is procured from Mahanadi Coalfields Limited and also

imported from South Africa.

 

(e) Special Steel

During the year under review, SMS and Rolling Mill operated at very low capacity due to uneconomical prices of raw material.

 

 

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 throughout the country. 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. 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.

 

AMALGAMATION OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

 

(a) Pursuant to a Scheme of Amalgamation filed under Section 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 by Kalinganagar Metcoke Private Limited (KMPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“the Scheme”) which has been duly sanctioned by the Hon’ble High Court of Judicature at Orissa (“the High Court”), vide its Order dated 6 September 2013, the whole of the undertaking of KMPL including its all assets, investments, properties and liabilities have been transferred to and vested in the Company, as a going concern, with effect from 31 March 2013 (“the Appointed Date”). Certified copies of the said Order of the High Court sanctioning the Scheme have been filed with the Registrar of Companies, Orissa on 23 September 2013 (the “Effective Date”). Accordingly the Scheme became effective on 23 September 2013. KMPL was incorporated with the objective of manufacturing and dealing in coal, coke and related products.

 

The amalgamation has been accounted for under the “Purchase Method” as prescribed by Accounting Standard 14 (AS-14) on “Accounting for Amalgamation” notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. In accordance with the Scheme, the assets and liabilities of KMPL have been taken over and recorded at their fair values as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and the net difference amounting Rs.3761.160 millions between the fair value of such assets and liabilities transferred to the Company after adjusting the Company’s investment in the Equity Share Capital of KMPL as appearing in the books of the Company and all inter company balances have been credited to General Reserve. Further KMPL being a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company no shares of the Company has been issued and allotted in lieu of exchange of company’s holding in the KMPL, which stood cancelled.

 

Had the Scheme not prescribed the above accounting treatment, the amount transferred to General Reserve (arising pursuant to the Scheme as aforementioned) would have been credited to Capital Reserve in keeping with the requirement of AS-14.

 

(b) After giving effect to the Scheme, the year end General Reserve represents free reserve not held for any specific purpose, other than to the extent of Rs.3761.160 millions (31 March 2012 : Nil) which has arisen on amalgamation as indicated in (a) above.

 

(c) The Scheme as referred in (a) above, was pending sanction of the High Court as on 29 May 2013, the date on which Company’s financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and audited by the Statutory Auditors. However, consequent upon the Scheme having become effective and the vesting of whole of the undertaking of KMPL in the Company with effect from the Appointed Date, as indicated in (a) above, these financial statements have now been revised to give effect to the Scheme.
