Comments :

Subject was incorporated in the year 1986 and is a textile manufacturing company including mending and packing activities. Its products include cotton and blended yarn, apparel fabric, embroidery, garments-woven and knitted, home textile, polyesters, accessories and corrugated pallets, etc.

 

As per 2017 financial records, the company has reported a decline in its revenue as compared to the previous year and has incurred operational losses during the year.

 

Rating is further constrained on account of company’s moderate financial risk profile marked by healthy net worth base with along weak debt coverage indicators and unfavourable gap between trade payables to its receivables.

 

Rating also takes into account of vulnerability of its operating margins to volatility in the raw material prices and its working capital intensive operations.

 

Rating is constrained in account of subject’s presence under the RBI defaulter’s list with the name of the credit grantor-The Saraswat Co-Operative Bank Limited and the amount charged is INR 287.542 million dated 30.09.2017 and SIDBI and the amount charged INR 123.642 million dated 31.12.2017.

 

The National Company Law Tribunal, Ahmedabad Bench, has ordered the commencement of a corporate insolvency resolution process against Alok Industries Limited on 18th July, 2017.

 

As per the press release, Alok Industries is one of the top 12 bank loan defaulters earmarked for immediate bankruptcy proceedings by the Reserve Bank of India. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) stipulates a maximum of 270 days to resolve an admitted case, failing which there is mandatory liquidation.

 

In Alok Industries’ case, the company had already admitted its default, but the tribunal had to hear a petition filed by the Industrial and Commerce Bank of China (ICBC) that sought dismissal or deferment of SBI’s petition against the firm. The Chinese bank has lent close to $55 million to Alok Industries and said there was an on-going case before the Bombay high court seeking the liquidation of Alok.

 

The judge dismissed ICBC’s petition invoking Section 14 (1) (a) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), which gives the NCLT power to impose a moratorium on any other pending suit against the defaulter in any other court. Alok Industries owes close to INR 80000.000 million to SBI, of which INR 37000.000 million has turned non-performing. The firm’s overall outstanding debt stands at about INR 200000.000 million.

 

Business is active. Payment seems to be slow and delayed.

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered for business dealings on fully safe and secured trade terms and conditions.

(v) During the year the Company was required to amend the Authorized Share Capital of the Company to INR 40000.000 million from INR 15000.000 million through an Extra Ordinary General Meeting (EOGM) in order to accommodate the conversion of debt into equity under the SDR provisions. A Singapore based bank led consortium through their security trustee, Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) filed a petition in the Bombay High Court for winding up the company and further prayed for stalling the EOGM to protect their interest. The Court, however, allowed the the EOGM to be conducted on submission of an affidavit by the Company that the resolutions passed at the EOGM for change in capital structure will not be implemented without obtaining prior written approval from HSBC. The Company is intending to file a letter to the Registrar of Companies, Ahmedabad citing the circumstances due to which the change in capital structure cannot be implemented.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Economic Overview

World

 

2016 was a positive year for the global economy with constant good economic news. The “World Economic Outlook” report by IMF has projected the global economic growth at 3.5% in 2017 from 3.1% in 2016. The global economy performed especially well in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the momentum generated is likely to persist in 2017 also. Condition of emerging markets & developing economies is likely to improve in the current scenario as the hurdles to growth of commodity exports from these nations is gradually going down while on the other hand demand of commodity importers is still solid. In case of advanced economies, economic activities are likely to gain momentum owing to the higher projected growth of US. Other major consumption regions like EU and Japan have also reflected strong growth forecast due to their increasing domestic demand and exports. However, there are some negative revision to the growth forecasts which aroused due to the structural changes happening across the world including slow trade liberalization (TPP agreement), consolidation of manufacturing in China, policy uncertainty etc.

 

Chart A illustrates the growth in the overall global economy along with advanced and emerging economies. Advanced economies have shown marginal increase at their levels of growth – 1.9% in CY2015 compared to 2.0% in CY2017, emerging markets and developing economies saw growth from 4.0% in CY2015 to 4.5% in CY2017.

 

As illustrated from the graph, growth in the emerging & developing economies have strengthened over the last three years. Stable commodity prices, recovering manufacturing activity, increasing investments, and strengthening confidence are driving the growth in these nations. This retrieval of growth will impact nearly 70% of such emerging and developing nations. 

 

US elections have resulted in a stronger dollar due to expectations of a slacker fiscal policy. After the elections, market sentiments have been strong resulting in gains in both advanced and emerging markets. Commodity prices have also recovered owing to solid global demands and agreements on restriction on oil supply. Chart B indicates a fall in the oil prices between 2015 and 2016 and a trend towards price stabilization in the first quarter of 2017.

 

Advanced economies have shown stable economic growth irrespective of the policy uncertainty that is looming around. Output gaps are narrowing in these economies and a solid recovery is expected in the near future. Increasing investments, improving import demand and rising exports have contributed in the overall recovery of global trade.

 

US showed growth slowdown in 2016 mainly due to weak investments and exports. However, it is expected to recover in 2017 due to strengthening private investments, diminishing economic slack and improvement in the labour market conditions. However, there are certain challenges still present such as steep decline in capital expenditure in the energy sector, slow wage and productivity growth, lower job flows, underemployment and large unused capacities in manufacturing. Under the new government, expected tax cuts and infrastructural programs might lead to robust growth, however, if substantial changes are made in the policies over a short period of time, it might lead to disruption in the economic activities between US & its trading partners.

 

European region experienced good growth in 2016 owing to rise in manufacturing activity and exports. Unemployment rate fell continuously in 2016 although it is still higher than structural norms. Inflation has risen in the region due to increase in energy prices but it is still under the expected levels. Overall, the growth is expected to maintain at a good level in the near future at an estimated 1.2% (European Commission, 2017). However, these growth prospects are clouded by growing uncertainties of the political and economic environment in the European region due to BREXIT, high levels of non-performing bank loans and policy uncertainty in US, EU’s largest export destinations.

 

India

2016-17 was marked by two major policy changes in the Indian economy, passing of the GST bill and the step to demonetize the two biggest currency notes. The former decision is aimed at bringing a common tax regime in the country in order to improve tax compliance, governance and to enhance investment and growth. The latter had some harsh short term cost to the public but it is expected to reap a good result in the longer run. However, these major changes have not affected the Indian economy in adverse fashion.

 

As Chart C shows, real GDP growth was improving steadily from a low of 6.6% in FY2014 to 7.6% in FY2016. But in FY2017, it dropped down to 7.1% owing to the effects of demonetization and decline in fixed investment, however India’s economy recovered well to attain respectable levels. Hence, India still stands as one of the fastest growing large economy in the world.

 

Trends in the other macroeconomic factors such as inflation, fiscal deficit and trade deficit have been encouraging. Inflation rates declined to a level of 3.4% in December 2016 end. This fall in inflation was characterized by the fall in CPI which was attributed to the high production of agricultural commodities and subsequent decline in their prices. The second contributing factor was the revival of WPI inflation from a level of -5.1% in 2015-16 to 3.4 % in 2016-17 primarily due to increase in international oil prices.

 

The current account deficit of the country has declined to reach a level of 0.3% (first half of FY 2017) of GDP while the trade deficit has declined by 23.5% in 2016-17 (Apr to Dec) over the last year. This was due to a steeper fall in imports as compared to fall in exports. However, recovery was observed in exports and imports of the country owing to the improvements in the world economy. Trends in the fiscal sector are also encouraging. Fiscal deficit of the country has reduced from a level of 4.5% of GDP in 2013- 14 to 3.5% of GDP in 2016-17.

 

 

From a global context, three changes in the global market are likely to have a significant effect on the Indian economy. US election results and the expected changes in their monetary and fiscal policy will have an impact on the global interest rates and also on India’s exchange rates and capital flows. The second change is the change in the political outlook of advanced nations which are focusing on making more protectionist policies. This change in the outlook of major markets will affect India’s exports and growth prospects. The third factor is China’s efforts of balancing its economy in the wake of rising US Dollar. If China is able to stabilize its economy and the falling ‘Yuan’ then it would result in a positive impact on the world as well as Indian economy. However, if China fails to achieve this, a further fall in Yuan would create trade frictions which will have a negative impact on India

Notes:


1.On July 18, 2017, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Ahmedabad had admitted the petition for initiating Corporate Insolvency Resolution (CIR) Process under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) vide its Order dated July 18, 2017 and appointed Mr. Ajay Joshi as the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) in terms of the IBC. Mr. Joshi was subsequently confirmed by the Committee of Creditors (CoC) as the Resolution Professional (RP).

 
2. Under the CIR Process, a resolution plan needs to be approved by the CoC. The resolution plan which would be approved by the CoC will need to be further approved by the NCLT. As the Company is under resolution process, the financial statements have been presented on a ‘going concern’ basis.


3. Mr. Ajay Joshi has, in his capacity as the RP appointed in terms of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, taken custody of assets and control of the management and operations of the Company from July 18, 2017 onwards. The financial results for quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2017 have been certified by Mr. Sunil Khandelwal, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in accordance with Regulation 33(2) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirement) Regulations, 2015, confirming that the financial statements do not contain any misleading or false statements. These financial statements have thereafter been taken on record by the RP on February 14, 2018 for filing with the stock exchanges and publishing the result.

 
4. During the quarter, the Company has incurred a net loss of INR 47453.300 Million and as of December 31, 2017, the Company‘s accumulated losses amounted to INR 166282.300 Million as against the Company’s Net worth of INR 29957.400 Million as at March 31, 2017. Total liabilities of the Company as on December 31, 2017 exceeded total assets by INR 138912.800 Million. In view of the CIR Process having commenced, the financial statements are presented on a ‘going concern’ basis, as also mentioned in the note no 2 above.

 
5. The net deferred tax assets as on December 31, 2017 is INR 14231.100 Million. Considering that the Company is continuing its operations and that under CIR Process, the Company expects revival and there would be sufficient taxable income in future to utilize the deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets for the current period, however, are presently not recognized pending the outcome of the CIR process.


6. Revenue from operations for the period up to June 30, 2017 includes excise duty, which is discontinued with effect from July 01, 2017 upon implementation of Goods and Service Tax (GST) Act. In accordance with 'Ind AS 18 - Revenue', GST is not included in revenue from operations. In view of the aforesaid change, revenue from operations for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2017 is not comparable to the corresponding previous periods.


7. The Company has continued to apply the expected credit losses (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of provision for the receivables. Accordingly, debtors amounting to INR 37837.700 Million have been provided during the quarter. Based on the initial outcome of the recovery process, the debtors amounting to INR 5855.100 crores provided in earlier period are written off during the quarter. Hence net additional provision for doubtful debt amounting to INR 31982.600 Million is made during the quarter. Further provisioning / written off, if any, will be dependent upon the outcome of the recovery efforts.


8. ince the Company is currently operating at low capacity, visibility on future cash flows shall be available only upon completion of the CIR Process. Accordingly, the company has not considered any significant impairment in the value of its assets during the period.


9. Considering the nature of its business activities and related risks and returns, the Company has determined that it operates in a single primary business segment, namely "Textiles", which constitutes a reportable segment in the context of IND AS 108 on "Operating Segments".

 
10. The figures of previous period have been reclassified / regrouped, wherever necessary, to correspond with those of the current period.

PRESS RELEASE

 

INDIAN BANKERS SET TO REWRITE CORPORATE HISTORY

 

 Feb 12 2018

 

On Tuesday evening, the CEOs of some of India’s biggest banks were on a panel discussing the changing banking landscape, at Mint’s annual banking conclave at a south Mumbai hotel. Ahead of this, they had been ushered into the speakers’ lounge where they were expected to pore over the finer points of the evening’s discussion over coffee and cookies. Instead, most of them seemed busy checking e-mails and text messages on their mobile phones and trying to figure out, in hushed voice, what was happening to the bids for troubled steel-maker Bhushan Steel Limited, one among the 12 cases identified by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in the first round in June 2017 for bankruptcy proceedings. The bids, submitted on 3 February at Deloitte’s office at DLF Cyber City Complex Gurgaon, Haryana, were to open that evening.

 

Nothing can illustrate better the changing landscape in Indian banking. Corporations in India can no longer get away by not paying the dues of the lenders. If they are not in a position to pay back, their assets will be auctioned. Later, at the panel discussion, State Bank of India chairman Rajnish Kumar said the promoters of defaulting companies have no longer been ducking calls from bankers; they are willing to sit across table and discuss.

 

They better do that as they are left with very little choice. At a recent function in Kolkata, Raghu Mody, chairman of Rasoi Limited and former president of industry body Assocham, succinctly summed up the new regime in Indian banking, when he said that earlier the promoters used to borrow from banks with an informal understanding that they would not have to pay back; now, if they want to borrow they must remember that they would need to return the money. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC) was passed in May 2016, changing the legal framework for insolvency resolution in India for ever. The provisions relating to corporate insolvency were notified in November 2016 and within weeks the first case of insolvency was admitted in the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), a quasi-judicial tribunal, which enjoys the adjudication powers under IBC.

 

Going by media reports, JSW Steel Limited and Piramal Enterprises Limited have jointly offered to pay INR 297000.000 million to lenders of Bhushan Steel, the largest manufacturer of auto-grade steel in India, which had a INR 423550.000 million debt on its books in March 2017. The joint bidders are willing to pay INR 280000.000 million upfront and invest another INR 17000.000 million in the company in equity and expand production capacity by 40%. Tata Steel Limited has also made a bid for Bhushan Steel for around INR 240000.000 million. Yet another bidder is a group of 500-odd employees of the company—this, however, is unlikely to succeed as the bid is not supported by a bank guarantee.

 

Tata Steel and JSW Steel have also submitted bids for Bhushan Power and Steel Limited, which owes around INR 37,000 crore to its lenders. Over a dozen companies had earlier submitted the so-called expressions of interest for Bhushan Power and Steel, but only two stuck around and went for the final bids. Bhushan Power and Steel is the ninth of the 12 companies whose assets are being sold to the highest bidders. The others include Monnet Ispat and Energy Limited, Electrosteel Steels Limited, Jyoti Structures Limited, Amtek Auto Limited, Alok Industries Limited, Lanco Infratech Limited, and Jaypee Infratech Limited, besides Bhushan Steel. None of these resolution plans has been cleared yet.

 

The law provides for a time-bound resolution within 180 days, with a provision to extend the deadline by another 90 days. This means, the resolution process must end within 270 days, a deadline that will expire for all the 12 companies by February-end. But the government is likely to extend the deadline by 60 days. A recent media report, citing unnamed finance ministry officials, indicated that the extension would be provided to only those companies that are already undergoing the insolvency resolution process. The same report also said the prospective investors have been reassured by the government over concerns such as forest clearances and stamp duty exemptions. The promoters of the insolvent companies are barred from bidding.

 

The Economic Survey 2017-18 gives us a sense of the progress of bad asset resolutions. Describing the IBC resolution process as “a valuable technology for tackling this long-standing problem in the Indian corporate sector”, it says that of the 525 insolvency petitions filed in the NCLT, 30 companies are being liquidated, 10 have got their resolution plans approved, 36 have been closed by appeal or review and the rest are still going through the process. The lenders have been able to recover INR 18544.000 million out of the total claims of INR 55303.000 million, roughly one-third of the outstanding debt.

 

The rate of recovery is not uniform—among the 10 companies where resolution plans have been finalized, recoveries vary between 6% and 100%. Lenders could recover INR 547.000 million out of total claims of INR 9722.000 million in the case of Synergies Dooray Automotive Limited, but the entire exposure of INR 34.000 million was recovered in the case of Prowess International Private Limited. According to the Economic Survey, the insolvency procedure is still work-in-progress, and resolving the cases in a time-bound manner with an efficient bidding process is critical for establishing the credibility of the new architecture.

 

No one can deny the fact that the insolvency law is the biggest reform in the Indian banking sector, which has changed the body language of both bankers as well as the promoters of their borrowers. While the banking community looks confident and aggressive in chasing loan defaulters, the defaulting promoters are no longer looking at bad loans as the problem of bankers; they have realized that it’s their problem and they would need to come forward to solve it.

 

In this context, I am tempted to quote from the judgement of the high court of Gujarat (dated 17 July 2017) on the special leave application filed by Essar Steel Limited, challenging the RBI decision directing banks to initiate insolvency proceedings against 12 companies, including Essar. It says, “(The) petitioner company is in debt of more than INR 450000.000 million for couple of years, its NPA (non-performing assets) was more than INR 320000.000 million in last year and more than INR 310000.000 million in previous year. It is also clear that when total debt is more than INR 450000.000 million, there is no option but to leave the issue at the discretion of the lenders to take appropriate steps in accordance with law…”

 

If the lenders continue to take “appropriate steps in accordance with the law”, many promoters run the risk of losing their empires. Armed with the insolvency code, Indian bankers are set to rewrite the corporate history.

KOTAK MAHINDRA, EDELWEISS UNITS IN RACE FOR ALOK INDUSTRIES

 

Feb 15, 2018

 

At least four potential suitors, including the distressed funds of Kotak Mahindra BSE 0.36 % and Edelweiss BSE 0.10 %, have expressed interest in bidding for bankrupt textile company Alok Industries BSE -2.03 % Limited, said two people familiar with the development.


Alok Industries is among the 12 defaulters that the Reserve Bank of India ordered to be referred to bankruptcy court in June last year, having defaulted on more than INR 290000.00 crore of debt as its diversification exercise ran into trouble. The company was admitted to the insolvency process by the National Company Law Tribunal’s Ahmedabad bench on July 19 


The resolution professional for Alok did not respond to a query from ET. Asset Reconstruction Company (India) Limited (Arcil) and a company associated with infrastructure lending group Srei are the other two bidders. 


“We have received four expressions of interest so far," said one of the two people cited above. “All resolution plans do not cover the entire company, but for various divisions, which are quite different from each other." 

 

Among the top 12 companies, Alok has seen bids getting invited twice since there were none the first time around after the bankruptcy process got underway in October. 


Reliance IndustriesBSE 0.05 % has not participated although it had examined a plan to bid for a part Alok’s assets, said the second person, amid speculation that this might stem from a Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi) order with regard to securities laws violations. 


“They are most likely staying away from the bid process because of the Sebi ban, which makes them ineligible under the bankruptcy law," said the first person. 


The regulator had barred Reliance Industries last March from dealing in the equity derivatives futures and options segment for a period of one year, directly or indirectly, for allegedly indulging in fraudulent trades in Reliance Petroleum in 2007. Reliance Industries declined to comment. 


“As a policy, we do not comment on media speculation and rumours,” a spokesman said in an emailed response to ET. 


“Our company evaluates various opportunities on an ongoing basis. We have made and will continue to make necessary disclosures in compliance with our obligations under Securities & Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015 and our agreements with the stock exchanges." 


While the bankruptcy law has been designed to prevent promoters from regaining control of their companies, some of the provisions may be keeping out genuine bidders, said an expert. 


“Section 29A (f) of the IBC (Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code) could have a potential impact on several bidders who have been barred by the securities regulator," said Sumant Batra, managing partner, Kesar Dass, a law firm specialising in bankruptcies. 


“I believe that the government may have to soon look at some of these clauses prohibiting potential suitors, otherwise many of the bankruptcy cases will have to go to liquidation for mere technicalities of the law.” 

 

 

ALOK INDUSTRIES' INSOLVENCY PRO CALLS FOR FRESH BIDS TO ATTRACT MORE PLAYERS

 

Dec 27, 2017

 

MUMBAI: The insolvency professional supervising the Alok Industries bankruptcy process has called for fresh bids to resolve the INR 290000.000 Million default in the hope of attracting more bidders for the textile company, said two people with knowledge of the matter. 


“Alok was the only company among the 12 listed by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to be referred to bankruptcy that did not receive any bids when the insolvency professional invited expressions of interest (EoIs),” said one of the two. 

“Therefore, it was decided to go for a fresh round of bidding for the company.” The last date for EoI submissions had been October 12. 


ET had reported in early November, after the deadline was over, that Reliance Industries 0.05 % may be interested in participating in the process. Last week, ET reported that a group of Alok Industries -2.03 %

employees wanted to take part. 

 

Resolution professional Ajay Joshi, on Tuesday, invited “interested applicants including those who have not submitted an EoI before to now submit a resolution plan as per the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.” 

 

Applicants have to submit an EoI to participate in the resolution plan. Only they will have access to the financial and technical data room, key to submitting a binding bid.

 

“Considering these factors, it was decided to go for a fresh EoI round so that Reliance Industries, employees and new investors can participate in the resolution plan,” said a bank official. No deadline has been indicated.

 

 

The company faces claims to the tune of INR 295190.000 Million from financial creditors and INR 6240.000 Million from operational creditors. While inviting EoIs, the resolution professional has said that only those companies with a net worth of INR 5000.000 Million and INR 30000.000 Million of assets under management will be eligible to participate. A participant should also have the ability to invest INR 5000.000 Million as equity capital in the company. 


Alok Industries is a fully integrated textile unit with four core divisions — cotton yarn, apparel fabric, home textile and polyester yarn. Reliance Industries is interested mainly in the polyester yarn unit. 


Lenders had attempted to revive the company through a strategic debt restructuring (SDR) scheme. This allows them to convert part of their debt into equity and sell it to a new promoter. This got stuck following an order by the Bombay High Court that stayed the sale of assets and a change in the company’s equity structure.

 
The court issued the order following a petition filed by HSBC on behalf of a few unsecured lenders to settle dues amounting to $55 million. The account was classified as non-performing in the books of the bank by November 2016. The company posted a loss of INR 35020.000 Million on revenue of INR 83260.000 Million in the year ended March 2017.
