Review of operations
Performance during the 15 month accounting period ended 30.06.2013
Your company has made a Revenue of Rs.42037.01 Lakhs during the 15
months accounting period ended on 30th June 2013 as compared to the
previous year 2011-
12 (12 months) Rs. 94136.65 crores and incurred a net loss Rs. 82347.91
Lakhs as against net loss after tax of Rs. 17806.69 Lakhs during the
previous year 2011-12. The revenue has decreased on account of
non-availability of timely funds for the completion of the projects,
due to bad collections from the State Electricity Boards. Also the
decline in the performance is on account of slowdown of the economy
with respect to the infrastructure sector. The detailed analysis of
the performance, give at the management''s discussion and analysis
section of the Annual Report.
Prospects for the financial year 2013-14
Company has projected an annual turnover of Rs.618 crores to the banks
while requesting for the revised CDR package, the achievability of the
same is depends on the energy sector performance in the country and
timely support of the banks.
Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Package
CDR package was approved by the CDREG at their meeting held on 16th
March 2012 and the approval letter was issued by the CDR Cell on
31.03.2012.
Banks have delayed the release of amount under Holding on Operations
(HOO) immediately after approval of CDR package and issue of letters by
the banks. Due to not providing required funds to the projects, the
customers have cancelled 14 projects and the Bank Guarantees were
invoked. Many of the projects have been stopped for want of materials,
due to non-availability of funds and Letter of Credit''s.
Income Tax department has issued the attachment of bank accounts and
customer accounts at three occasions resulted in stopping of operations
till withdrawal of the attachments, which took time for company to get
it done.
On account of all the above factors, the performance during the 15
month accounting period ended 30th June 2013 was lower as compared to
the previous year.
Due to the lower turnover and cancellation of the projects, company
could not get the collections in time, which has lead to the shortage
of cash flow and hence company could not meet the commitments on the
payment of interest.
In order to improve the operations of the company, the required support
from banks is required and for the same the company has submitted the
proposal for revised CDR Package in the last week of April
2013, which is yet to be taken up by the banks.
