BUSINESS OUT LOOK:
The Company will remain focused on copper business and continue to add further value added products in line with the requirement of our OEM customers. We are looking at a minimum of 10% volume growth in this year. The Company received a major boost since the implementation of GST and Demonitisation. With the advent of uniform tax structure (GST) across the country and abolition of CST, our competiveness in terms of pricing has gone up. The companyâs disadvantage against tax free territories like Silvasa will no longer apply. Post demonitisation, the customer base has increased and diversified.
EXPANSION PLANS:
The companyâs competitiveness in terms of pricing has gone up post GST and volumes have increased substantially. With the kind of growth mode the Company is in the existing capacity as well as space is not enough to meet the demand. Therefore, the Company has decided to double the capacity to 30000 MT from the existing 15000 MT. The expansion shall be done through a 100% subsidiary viz., Aanvik Mercantile Private Limited (AMPL). AMPL has 65.28 Acres of land in Shabhashpally village, Medak District, located near the proposed inner Ring Road.

PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONS:
During the year 2015-16, the Company''s total revenue is increased by 12.39% and EBIDTA also increased by 7.15% as compared to last year. Despite increase in EBIDTA level, its PAT remains almost same as that of previous year due to losses on foreign exchange fluctuation which rose by 45.5% as compared to previous year which had a substantial adverse impact on profitability of the Company. Further, prices of copper come down last year resulting into loss on inventory of copper in pipe line.
In view of the losses, profitability coupled with estimated higher cash out flow, on account of financial commitments during the year 2016-17, the Board of Directors have not declared any dividend for the financial year 2015-16.
SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT:
The Company made an application with the Hon''ble High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad for the State of Telangana and the State of Andhra Pradesh for approval of the Scheme of Arrangement between the Company (Demerged Company) and Surana Telecom and Power Limited (1st Resulting Company) and Bhagyanagar Properties Private Limited (2nd Resulting Company) and their respective Shareholders and Creditors under Section 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956.
According to the Scheme of Arrangement, the solar business including 5 MW solar power plant and investments in solar related companies are being demerged to Surana Telecom and Power Limited. Investments in real estate subsidiaries along with loans given to them are demerged to Bhagyanagar Properties Private Limited, which shall be a listed company with mirror image shareholding as that of Bhagyanagar India Limited. (Please visit our website www.bhagyanagarindia.com for complete information relating to the demerger process.
Rationale for Demerger:
Solar Business:
- 5 MW solar power plant is being transferred to Surana Telecom and Power Limited (STPL) along with all assets and liabilities.
- The 5 MW Solar plant was initially set up in 2014 for captive consumption. However, the plant could not be utilized for captive purpose due to regulatory issues. Hence, we started selling power to third party. Solar power generation is not the core area of BIL and its not going to add value in the long run, therefore, it is proposed to demerge the business into STPL.
- STPL is focusing only on solar power generation now. As part of consolidation of various business verticals and to increase the worth of share holders, it is desired that all solar power plant across the Group should come under the umbrella of STPL.
- Turnover from the solar business is Rs 6.09 Crores as against total turnover of Rs 293.74 Crores of the company ( 2.07% of total turnover).
- BIL is holding investments in STPL and Surana Solar Limited (SSL). Since both the companies are engaged in the business relating to Solar industry, these investments are also being transferred to STPL.
Real estate business:
- BIL is having interest in real estate segment through the following subsidiaries:
a. Bhagyanagar Properties Pvt Ltd (BPPL)
b. Scientia Infocom Pvt Ltd
c. Metropolitan Ventures Pvt Ltd
- The company forayed into real-estate segment in the year 2005-06 through the above subsidiaries. However, there is no activity happening in this sector in last 10 years. No development has taken place and the company has also not earned any revenue from these investments in last 10 years.
- The subsidiaries of BIL are holding 25 acres of land in Gachibowlly, Hyderabad. Huge funds are required to develop such large property. Therefore, it is desired that a strategic investing partner shall be identified for joint development and debt shall be taken exclusively in BPPL so that the existing cash flow of BIL is not affected.
- The loans and investments are not generating any revenue since beginning. Such huge loans to subsidiaries without any income stream are distorting the balance sheet of BIL. On demerger, the balance sheet of BIL will be much more realistic.
- Turnover from the above assets - NIL and Net Profit -NIL since beginning
BIL has invested in equity capital of these companies as well as given them unsecured loans also. These investments and loans are being demerged to BPPL which shall be a listed company with mirror image share-holding as that of BIL.
Exchange Ratio:
- For solar business: STPL shall issue 4 equity shares for every 6 shares held by shareholders of BIL. STPL shall issue net 3,17,37,963 equity shares of the face value of Re.1 each.
- For real estate business: BPPL shall issue equity shares in the ratio of 1:1. BPPL shall issue net 3,19,95,000 equity shares of Rs. 2 each.
The Hon''ble High Court vide its order dated 25th April, 2016, directed the Company to convene Meeting of the Shareholders and Unsecured Creditors of the Company on 11th June, 2016 for obtaining approval for the Scheme of Arrangement between the Company and M/s. Surana Telecom and Power Limited and M/s. Bhagyanagar Properties Private Limited and their respective Shareholders and Creditors.
The Company has duly convened the meeting of the Equity Shareholders and Unsecured Creditors and obtained approval for the Scheme of Arrangement with the requisite majority. The Company filed a Petition to obtain the sanction of the Hon''ble High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad for the State of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to the Scheme of Arrangement.
OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR 2016-17:
A) COPPER: The strategy for financial year 2016-17 will be to have continued focus on copper business with addition of new products. Your Company plans to achieve a growth of 10% in volumes but the profitability depends largely on external factors such as overall economic scenario, stability in prices of copper and INR vis-a-vis Foreign Currency.
B) WIND POWER: The Company currently has an overall installed capacity of 9 MW comprising of 7 wind turbines in state of Karnataka and 6.4 MW comprising 5 wind turbines in Tamilnadu through its Subsidiary viz., Solar Dynamics Private Limited. The said project is giving steady income.
C) CASHFLOW MANAGEMENT: To mitigate the risks arising out of demerger and consequential loss of partial revenue, the company has the proper plans in place to maintain the profitability and cash generation.
(i) Divestment of investment: The Company has divested its investment in Surana Infocom Private Limited Rs.1000 lakhs of cash has been unlocked due to the divestment.
(ii) Part prepayment of ECB: The Company has prepaid ECB to the extent of Rs.925 lakhs out of the divestment proceeds. The prepayment shall reduce the finance cost resulting into improved profitability and it will also reduce the annual repayment obligation resulting into cash flow comfort.
