FINANCIAL REVIEW:

The turnover of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2015, increased by 23.47% and stood at Rs. 1443.68 Lakhs as against Rs. 1169.2* Lakhs in the previous year. During the year under review, your Company recorded total income of Rs. 2241.48 Lakhs as against Rs. 1403.64 Lakhs in the previous year. The year under review was adversely affected due to stressed working capital and liquidity crunch thereby affecting the earning capacity of the company. This resulted in low turnover and income in the year under review, thereby having a loss of Rs. 13,310.52 Lakhs as against loss of Rs. 2,015.78 Lakhs in the previous year.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW:

The performance during the year was not satisfactory due to various reasons beyond the control of the Management. The products in which the Company is dealing, is facing cut throat competition. The supply pressure in the market is leading to the buyers' market and price erosion. At the same time, the costs have increased due to inflation in the economy and devaluation of Rupee against the foreign currencies. Due to this, the company is currently facing liquidity mismatch wherein it is not generating enough cash flows to meet its debt obligations on time.

Reductions in the subsidies and withdrawal of Government incentive programmes in major European markets have generated a negative sentiment for photovoltaic (PV) installations. At the same time huge dumping by Chinese Solar Products manufacturers resulted in the fall in prices. The severe fall in the prices of Solar Photovoltaic cells globally on account of reduced demand resulted in the Company position in very tragic condition wherein the Company is unable to stand in the Competitive and Price sensitive market. As a result, the Company has been unable to utilize its capacity and the cost of production of solar cells continues to be higher than the prevailing market prices.

With the continued pledge and commitment across developed and developing countries by the governments, towards renewable sources of energy, demand for solar energy is expected to improve.

FUTURE PROSPECTS:

JNNSM guidelines stipulate that the certain grid connected Solar PV plants in India needs to install the Indian made Solar Modules which should contain Indian made Solar Cells. This will create the market for Indian Solar cell Manufacturers to market their products. US and European Union is also considering the possibility of imposing the anti dumping duty against the solar products manufactured in China. They moved in this direction and US has imposed provisional anti dumping duty on solar products manufactured in China. This will create the market for all the global manufacturers other than Chinese one. You Company has also envisages the huge potential of business opportunity going ahead. However, at the same time the challenges in the form of adequate working capital, supply of products of prevalent quality and product efficiency needs to be addressed by all the Indian players.

Indian Government is focused on the implementation of its various programmes of promoting solar power generation under the various schemes which are implemented at centre and state level. This will create new business opportunities for the solar industry.

Deepak Maru & Co., Chartered Accountants, Mumbai (FRN: 115678W), were appointed as Statutory Auditors of the Company at the last Annual General Meeting held on 30th September, 2014 for a term of five consecutive years. As per the provisions of Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013, the appointment of Auditors is required to be ratified by Members at every Annual General Meeting.

Your Directors recommends the ratification by confirming the appointment of M/s. Deepak Maru & Co., Chartered Accountants, Mumbai as Statutory Auditors of the Company.

AUDITORS' REPORT:

With regards to the observations from the Statutory Auditors in their report (on standalone financials), your directors would like to state that:

I. The financial statement have been prepared on a "going concern" basis, inspite the fact that the Company's financial facilities/arrangements have expired and the same are overdue for repayment and the net worth of the Company fully eroded and the lenders have initiated legal proceedings against the Company for recovery.

Your Directors would like to state that considering the changes and new developments taking place in the solar industry, your Directors are optimistic about the better opportunity and turnaround of the Company. The Company is hopeful and awaiting comprehensive package under BIFr for resolution of debts from Banks and Financial Institutions.

II. The Company has not provided interest on unsecured loan amounting to Rs. 233.07 lakhs (Previous year Rs. 154.33 lakhs) for the year ended 31st March, 2015. Had the same been provided the loss for the year ending 31st March, 2015 will increase by Rs. 233.07 lakhs (Previous year Rs. 154.33 lakhs) and the corresponding liability will also increase by Rs. 233.07 lakhs as at 31st March, 2015 (Previous Year Rs. 154.33 lakhs).

In view of the heavy losses incurred by the Company since last many years, the Company had requested its unsecured lenders that the Company is not in a position to pay the interest on the loan amount. The unsecured lenders has co operated with the Company and has considered the request of the Company. In view of the present liquidity condition of the Company, it is not possible to pay any interest on the unsecured loans, hence provision for interest is not provided.

III. The Company has not provided for impairment or diminishing value of its assets/investment as per 'Accounting Standard 28 - Accounting for Impairment of Assets' as notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 read with the General Circular 15/2013 dated 13th September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013. The effect of such Impairment or diminishing value has not been quantified by the management and hence the same is not ascertainable.

The management has a policy to maintain the assets and keep them in working condition, so that its value does not get affected in long run. The management is optimistic about realizing the value of its Assets / Investments nearest to its carrying value, and there is no further diminution in the value of its assets/investment other than depreciation / amortization.

IV. The Company has accumulated losses at the end of the financial year and at the immediately preceding financial year and the Company has defaulted in repayment of loans and interest to the banks.

Your directors would like to state that the Company had working capital shortages during the year and was unable to run the plants. Further the plants which were operational during the year were also run at lower capacity due to liquidity crunch, despite the demand of the products in the market. The increasing cost and unabsorbed fixed costs resulted in the cash losses during the year and in the course of time there were defaults in the repayment of the loans and interest to the Banks. However with the changing economic scenario, the growing solar industry and increasing foreign investments in India, the management is hopeful of arriving at a comprehensive business restructuring along with the debt realignment proposal with the lenders under BIFR.

V. In respect of deposits accepted by the company before the commencement of this Act, within the meaning of Section 74 & 75 of the Act and the Rules framed there under to the extent notified, the principal amount of such deposits and interest due thereon remained unpaid even after expiry of one year from such commencement and the Company has not filed a statement within a period of three months from such commencement or from the date on which such payments, are due, with the Registrar details as prescribed u/s.74(1)(a).

In absence of whole time company secretary the compliances were missed out inadvertently.

VI. The Company has defaulted in repayment of loans and interests dues to the banks and financial institution. The principal outstanding of Term Loans and Cash Credit facilities amounts to Rs. 20,307.5* lakhs and overdue interest amounts to Rs. 14,850.47 lakhs as at March 31, 2015, subject to reconciliation with the banks. The period of default ranges around 51 months.

During the years 2011-2012 and 2012-2013, the Company had incurred significant losses which had resulted in erosion of its net worth. The severe fall in the prices of Solar Photovoltaic cells globally is on account of reduced demand which resulted in large inventory at reduced prices, leading to necessity for booking losses and thereby depleting working capital. During the year 2011-2012, there was default in the repayment obligations to banks and the relevant loan accounts viz. Term Loans, Cash Credit Accounts and revolvement of letters of credit.

In the financial year 2012-2013, the Company on the basis of the audited accounts for the financial year ended March 31, 2012, and being mandatory, filed the reference u/s 15(1) of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 before the Hon'ble Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR).

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The turnover for the year ended 31st March, 2013, declined by 71% and stood at Rs. 1808.90 Lakhs as against Rs. 6210.11 Lakhs in the previous year. During the year under review, your Company recorded total income of Rs. 1825.97 Lakhs as against Rs. 5582.58 Lakhs in the previous year. The year under review was adversely affected due to stressed working capital and liquidity crunch thereby affecting the earning capacity of the company. This resulted in low turnover and income in the year under review, thereby having a loss of Rs.3076.12 Lakhs as against loss of Rs.9236.60 Lakhs in the previous year.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Your Company is facing various challenges such as increased competition from unorganized players and lower realization due to commoditization of the business (in the Optical Disc Business) and subdued demand and lower off take due to global slowdown (for the Solar Photovoltaic Cells business). Due to this, the company is currently facing liquidity mismatch wherein it is not generating enough cash flows to meet its debt obligations on time.

Reductions in feed-in tariffs and other subsidies in major European markets have generated a negative sentiment for photovoltaic (PV) installations. This resulted in lower offtake for solar products globally leading to reduced demand. This policy reversal was entirely unanticipated by anyone and has taken the industry by surprise. The severe fall in the prices of Solar Photovoltaic cells globally on account of reduced demand resulting the company leaving with large inventory at reduced prices, leading to necessity for booking losses and thereby depleting working capital. As a result, the Company has been unable to utilize its capacity and the cost of production of solar cells continues to be higher than the prevailing market prices.

With the continued pledge and commitment across developed and developing countries by the governments, towards renewable sources of energy, demand for solar energy is expected to improve.

Power Plant

The Company had entered into a power supply agreement with Euro Ceramics Ltd in the year 2006-2007 for generating the electricity. The Company contributed one-fifth of the capital investment cost for sharing of power generated by the Power Plant in the ratio of 80:20. In addition to this, the Company also contributed on monthly basis for operating expenses of running the Power Plant based on actual units of power consumed by the Company.

As per the Deed of Modification dated 31st January, 2012 read in conjunction with the Power Supply Agreement dated 2nd June, 2006, any outstanding dues along with interest if not paid on or before 31st December, 2012 to Euro Ceramics Ltd, the Power Supply Agreement would stand terminated. And on the event of termination, firstly the security deposit would be adjusted towards the outstanding dues and after adjusting security deposit, for the balance amount the Company has to transfer its share of 20% of investment at the book value of the power plants assets to Euro Ceramics Ltd. On such termination, Euro Ceramics Ltd would be legally and beneficially complete owner of the power plant.

As per the above terms, during the year 2012-2013 outstanding dues could not be paid by the Company to Euro Ceramics Ltd, hence as per the letter of termination dated 1st January, 2013 from Euro Ceramics Ltd to the Company, the security deposit was adjusted by Euro Ceramics Ltd against the outstanding dues and also 20% share of assets of Power Plant Building as owned by the Company was transferred to Euro Ceramics Ltd. The Board of Directors in their meeting dated 10th November, 2012 noted such a failure to pay outstanding dues and subsequent adjustment by Euro Ceramics Ltd. Accordingly, the said share of assets of Power Plant cease to be owned by the Company and considered as a reduction from the fixed assets block.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

The JNNSM guidelines stipulate that the entire grid connected Solar PV plants in India coming under the scheme will have to use Solar PV modules that are made in India. A sharp fall in solar panel prices has brought down the cost of generating solar electricity considerably, and industry participants hope that solar power will become competitive with traditional sources of electricity over the next few years.

Indian manufacturers on the one hand witnessed steep fall in solar cell prices and on the other hand market flooded with products from Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers.

The importance of sun in powering India''s economy and meeting energy security requirements, we believe that India is being positioned gradually and steadily for rapid growth in all the segments of the solar/PV industry value chain, and will increasingly become an important and high growth market for both on-grid and off-grid applications in the days to come.

DIVIDEND

In view of losses during the year under review, your Directors do not recommend any dividend for the financial year 2012-13.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The turnover for the year ended 31st March, 2012, declined by 47% and stood at 6210.11 Lakhs as against Rs. 9137.18 Lakhs in the previous year. During the year under review, your Company recorded total income of Rs. 5556.30 Lakhs as against Rs. 9954.20 Lakhs in the previous year.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Your Company is facing various challenges such as increased competition from unorganized players and lower realization due to commoditization of the business (in the Optical Disc Business) and subdued demand and lower off take due to global slowdown (for the Solar Photovoltaic Cells Business). Due to this, the company is currently facing liquidity mismatch wherein it is not generating enough cash flows to meet its debt obligations on time.

Reductions in feed-in tariffs and other subsidies in major European markets have generated a negative sentiment for photovoltaic (PV) installations this year. This resulted in lower off take for solar products globally leading to reduced demand. This policy reversal was entirely unanticipated by anyone and has taken the industry by surprise. The severe fall in the prices of Solar Photovoltaic cells globally on account of reduced demand resulting the company leaving with large inventory at reduced prices, leading to necessity for booking losses and thereby depleting working capital. As a result, the Company has been unable to utilize its capacity and the cost of production of solar cells continues to be higher than the prevailing market prices. All the above factors led to drastic fall in realizations leading to lower than estimated EBIDTA.

With the continued pledge and commitment across developed and developing countries by the governments, towards renewable sources of energy, demand for solar energy is expected to improve.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

The JNNSM guidelines stipulate that the entire grid connected Solar PV plants in India coming under the scheme will have to use Solar PV modules that are made in India. A sharp fall in solar panel prices in the second half of 2011 has brought down the cost of generating solar electricity considerably, and industry participants hope that solar power will become competitive with traditional sources of electricity over the next few years.

Indian manufacturers on the one hand witnessed steep fall in solar cell prices and on the other hand market flooded with products from Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers.

There is a large scale over capacity in the Industry and hence the present trend is expected to continue for a year or so during which the Company is likely to face difficult times.

POLYSILICON PROJECT EXPENSES WRITTEN OFF

As part of backward integration plan, the Company earlier had envisaged setting up a manufacturing facility to manufacture Polysilicon for which the company had entered into a Technology Transfer / License agreement. The Company had incurred expenses amounting to Rs.1466.02 Lakhs towards technology transfer, engineering services and pre-operative expenses for the same, which was earlier reflected under capital work in progress.

The Company has decided to write off the said expenses so incurred due to subdued demand and lower offtake and global slowdown of the solar industry, since the Board of Directors are of the opinion, that it is not viable for the Company in the current scenario to go ahead with the polysilicon project.

DIVIDEND

Your Directors do not recommend any dividend for the financial year under review.

REFERENCE TO BIFR

The Net worth of the Company is eroded as at the end of the Financial Year under review. Accordingly the Directors have been advised that it is mandatory to register and file a reference with the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) as required by the provisions of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985. Attention is invited on point 7(f) in Note 22 of notes forming part of the accounts for the year ended on March 31,2012.
