MATERIAL CHANGES AND COMMITMENTS AFFECTING FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE COMPANY OCCURRED BETWEEN MARCH 31, 2016 AND DATE OF THIS REPORT

Strategic Debt Restructuring ("SDR")

The Lead Bankers of the Joint Lenders'' Forum had invoked the SDR and decided the Reference Date as January 27, 2016. Pursuant to special resolution passed by the Shareholders of the Company by Postal Ballot on June 20, 2016 and in accordance with applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to "the Act"), guidelines specified by the Reserve Bank of India on Strategic Debt Restructuring scheme ("SDR") and the SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2009, the Board of Directors allotted 4,09,87,704 equity shares of face value of Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten only) each, at an issue price of Rs. 43.81/per share to the consortium of banks and financial institutions, as per SDR. Post-allotment, the paid-up share capital of the Company stands increased to Rs. 78,22,77,650/- consisting of 7,82,27,765 number of equity shares of Rs. 10/- each.

OPERATIONS

The oil industry, with its history of booms and busts, has been in its deepest downturn since the 1990s, if not earlier. Earnings are down for companies that made record profits in recent years, leading them to decommission more than two-thirds of their rigs and sharply cut investment in exploration and production (E&P).

To correlate our business perspective, marine logistic services business is directly proportional to offshore drilling activity by E&P operators and since offshore drilling is experiencing a steep downturn, the implications are on the same line for marine logistic services business. The primary cause is the plunging price of a barrel of oil, which at one point fell more than 70 percent compared with June 2014 levels. Prices have recovered a few times over the last year and lately Brent crude crossed $50-a-barrel threshold for the first time in nearly seven months. But prices are still below what producers need to drill profitable wells.

But over the long term, demand for fuels is recovering in some countries and that could help in the recovery of crude prices in the next year or two. Hence a gradual uptick is expected in the business scenario for Offshore drilling, marine logistics & allied oilfield services in the next two years as oil prices stabilize in the range of USD 60-70 per barrel. As such, the business environment has been quite challenging for past couple of years, the drop in oil price has further aggravated the situation. Nevertheless, your Company has been able to manage its operations efficiently with existing resources. Your Company has ensured that most of the vessels remain available for employment in good sea worthy conditions.

During the financial year 2010-11, the Company (on a standalone basis) recorded a total income of Rs. 86,267 lakhs, and earned a PBIDT of Rs. 42,350 lakhs.

The financial year has been extremely challenging with two major assets - the rigs being non operational for part of the financial year under review. Apart from this few older vessels in the offshore logistic feet suffered reduced utilisation coupled with sofit freight rates of the spot markets.

While Kedarnath was under refurbishment prior to its commencement of the new charter, Badrinath worked for a part of Q3 FY 2010-11 on completion of its earlier charter. Few of the offshore logistics feet witnessed a sofit spot market due to global overhang in vessel supply. However, though there was a comparative increase in revenues from execution of Engineering Projects, it was unable to supplement the drop in charter revenues from asset deployments.

This lead to a decline in total income of around 15% apart from a decline in Profit Afiter Tax by around 42%. While the Operating Profit at Rs. 35,056 lakhs showed a decline of around 18% from the earlier levels of Rs. 42,719 lakhs, the operating margin declined partially from around 42% in previous year to around 41% in the year under review.

With increase in feet size, in the year under review employee cost increased around 10% but subdued charter rates did not refect in rise in earnings. This has also refected in increase in depreciation by around 39% and also rise in interest costs due to increase in the outstanding loans availed for financing capex, investments as well as drydocking expenses and for routine capex.

APPROPRIATIONS

Your Company has transferred Rs. 1,100 lakhs to the General Reserve during the year under review. An amount of Rs. 29,930 lakhs is proposed to be retained in the Profit & Loss Account

DIVIDEND

Your Directors are pleased to recommend a Dividend of Rs. 2.50/- per equity share of face value of Rs. 10 each for the financial year 2010-11 aggregating to an outfow of Rs. 931 lakhs, subject to the approval of the shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.
