Mehta, the erstwhile partners, for the purpose of carrying the business of trading, manufacturing, importing and exporting, and providing infrastructure and logistics services, including operating container freight stations and allied services. During the existence of the Partnership Firm, certain partners contributed land parcels, including land in Ajivali owned by them to the Partnership Firm. Accordingly, in financial year 2008, the book value of the land was credited to the capital account of the Partnership Firm. Subsequently, in August 2008, this land at Ajivali was revalued resulting in an increase in book value of such land and such increase in book value was credited to the capital account and current account of the partnership firm. In financial year 2009, the partners of the Partnership Firm passed a resolution dated July 1, 2008 to carry out the business of the Partnership Firm through a company limited by shares. Pursuant to the partnership deed, upon the conversion of the Partnership Firm into a joint stock company, all the assets and liabilities of the Partnership Firm were taken over by the Company as a going concern and all the erstwhile partners were issued Equity Shares in proportion to their contribution of capital in the Partnership Firm, represented by their respective shares in the capital account of the Partnership Firm, on the date of succession in the Company. Further upon such conversion, the balance in the current account of the Partnership Firm, amounting to 976.58 million, was restated as unsecured loans given by certain members of the Company in proportion to their respective shares in the current account of the Partnership Firm. Some of these unsecured loans, amounting in
aggregate to 705.00 million, have subsequently been converted to Equity Shares which have been allotted to the Promoters and certain members of the Promoter Group and other such loans remain outstanding as of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus.
