LONG TERM BORROWINGS

 

Nature of Security: Secured by:

 

i) First charge on the identified immovable properties and first pari-passu charge on certain plant and machinery, along with the Central Bank of India.

 

ii) Second charge by way of hypothecation on the current assets viz. book debts, inventories, other receivables both present and future along with first charge being held by Central Bank of India.

 

(b) The Company had issued 9,500 unsecured non-convertible redeemable debentures on July 21, 2011 to the holding company which were redeemable on July 21, 2016 at a premium of 6.5% per annum payable at the time of redemption. During the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company had redeemed 6,600 debentures and extended the redemption date of the remaining debentures to July 21, 2018 with the consent of debentureholder. Accordingly, these were disclosed as long term as at March 31, 2016.

 

The Company redeemed remaining debentures during the year ended March 31, 2017.

 

The above debentures carried premium @ 6.5% per annum which was lower than the prevailing interest rate for a comparable financial instrument. Accordingly, NCD's have been fair valued by discounting all the future cash flows to the present value based on prevailing market interest rate for a comparable instrument. The difference being equity contibution by the parent. Also, the accrued redemption premium has been taken into account as part of contractual cash flows while calculating amortised cost and the same has been amortised over life of debentures using effective interest rate method.

SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENTS:

 

a) Scheme of Arrangement of Suvi-Info Management (Indore) Private Limited (Suvi):

 

The scheme of arrangement for amalgamation of Suvi-Info Management (Indore) Private Limited (Suvi) with Jagran Prakashan Limited (JPL) was sanctioned by the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad by its order dated March 16, 2016 and the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay by its order dated December 2, 2016. The Scheme came into effect on December 27, 2016, which was the date on which a certified copy of the order of the High Court of Bombay and High Court of Allahabad sanctioning the Scheme was filed with the Registrar of Companies, Mumbai and the Registrar of Companies, Uttar Pradesh with appointed dated of January 1, 2016. SUVI was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and therefore there was no issue of shares by the Company to the shareholders of SUVI.

 

b) Composite Scheme of Arrangement of Jagran Prakashan Limited, Crystal Sound and Music Private Limited, Spectrum Broadcast Holdings Private Limited, Shri Puran Multimedia Limited and Music Broadcast Limited:

 

The composite scheme of arrangement for amalgamation of Crystal Sound and Music Private Limited (Crystal) and Spectrum Broadcast Holdings Private Limited (Spectrum) with Jagran Prakashan Limited (JPL) and the demerger of radio business undertaking of Shri Puran Multimedia Limited (SPML) into Music Broadcast Limited (MBL) (referred to as “the Scheme”) was sanctioned by the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad by its order dated September 22, 2016 and the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay by its order dated October 27, 2016. The Scheme became effective upon filing of the court orders with the respective Registrar of Companies of Uttar Pradesh on November 18, 2016 and Mumbai on November 17, 2016 with appointed dated of January 1, 2016.

 

In terms of the Scheme, business and undertaking of Spectrum and Crystal were transferred to and vested in favour of JPL. As Crystal was a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectrum, which in turn was a wholly owned subsidiary of JPL, therefore there was no issue of shares by JPL to the shareholders of Crystal and Spectrum.

 

Also, in terms of the Scheme, radio business undertaking of SPML, was transferred to and vested in favour of MBL and the shareholders of SPML were allotted 10 fully paid up equity shares of face value of `10/- each of MBL for every 112 equity shares of SPML held by them.

 

As result of the above schemes, Suvi-Info Management (Indore) Private Limited, Crystal Sound and Music Private Limited and Spectrum Broadcast Holdings Private Limited subsidiaries of the Company ceased to be in existence.

OVERVIEW:

 

Indian Economy:

 

In the post-Brexit and post-Trump era that they are all learning to grapple with, and the early warning signals they are seeing of increasing protectionism and closing boundaries, the Indian economy continues to be a shining albeit flickering light in the world economy. Latest official estimates project a GDP growth rate of 7.1 percent for the year 2016-17 which is lower than the one attained in the previous fiscal. Inflation is also well within control and fiscal deficit will not cause worry even if it exceeds the target. Thus, macro fundamentals of the economy which typically are used to highlight the strength of an economy are positive and seem to suggest a foundation of higher growth, prosperity and wellness. Even the business confidence and the consumer confidence indices are high suggesting a platform for increased level of economic activity supported by a spurt in demand.

 

However, the challenges which the economy is currently facing are serious in nature and are likely to come in the way of materialization of these expectations and demand escalation in the near future. These challenges are unemployment, underemployment, one of the lowest gross fixed capital formation and increasing inequality in distribution of income despite the government’s good intentions. While a 7% plus growth being recorded year after year for more than 3 years makes the Indian economy the fastest growing economy of the world; joblessness and underemployment are the key risks to the sustainability of this kind of growth in the medium to long term.

 

In fiscal 2016-17, the growth in manufacturing and mining remained muted and was lower than the previous year. It was agriculture that helped the country register growth exceeding 7%. Due to a good monsoon, the year began with a lot of optimism. However, still higher growth expected because of the stimulus provided by the implementation of the 7th pay commission and a good monsoon, in the economy and in the media and entertainment industry which thrives on increased income and liquidity, did not materialize. The economy did very well till the end of the festive season but the demonetization derailed the progress and the growth nosedived for everyone. In fact, many categories reported steep de-growth in their sales in the months after demonetization. They, however, believe that the pains caused by demonetization are short term in nature and will recede in a couple of quarters. But, returning to the growth levels of 2015-16 may take more than a year. The year 2016-17 will also go down in Indian history as a year of one of the biggest ever financial reforms in the form of GST which is expected to be rolled out from July 2017. There is no doubt that this was a long awaited and much needed reform and will help the Indian economy in the medium to long term, but its short term impact on growth and consumption is uncertain largely because of initial teething problems in implementation, application and enforcement.

 

Exports, for India, have been a growth engine and off shore employment opportunities have provided jobs to many Indians but they can no longer rely on exports nor depend on these opportunities in the current protectionist environment. The need of the hour is to fundamentally reignite domestic consumption and create job opportunities at a faster pace through reimagining their strategies.

 

Indian Media and Entertainment Industry:

 

The Indian Media industry grew at 9.1% which was the slowest growth registered in the last five years due to the adverse impact of demonetisation. While a 9.1% growth as compared to global benchmarks is very attractive but by Indian standards it is far from satisfactory. This drop reaffirms the discretionary nature of advertising spends in the country and the impact that any large scale turbulence in the economy can have on this industry, Television grew at 8.5% primarily due to a lacklustre year for subscription revenues and speed bumps in advertisement revenue growth primarily due to slower domestic consumption and the Broadcast Association Research Council (BARC) data recalibration. Print revenue grew at 7% as English language newspapers continued to be under stress. However Regional languages sustained their strong growth levels. Films had a disappointing year with mere 3% growth on the back of poor box office performance of Bollywood and Tamil films. Digital advertising continued its momentum with a 28% growth to reach 15% share in the overall adpie. OOH segment registered a slowdown in growth rate at 7% on the back of demonetisation. Although billboards continue to account for the largest revenue pie, new metro lines, malls, corporate parks and leading airports are providing a much needed boost to the overall sector. Radio registered a 14.6% growth led by volume enhancements in smaller cities, partial roll out of batch 1 of phase III stations and marginal increase in effective rates.

 

In India, the percentage of advertising expenditure to GDP has continued to be less than 0.50% for several years. This is substantially lower in comparison to the developed economies as well as other developing economies. They believe that the long term growth trajectory of this industry is clearly visible and the future is very sanguine. This growth however can happen only on the back of balanced distribution of per capita income through creation of employment opportunities commensurate with India’s increasing employable work force.
