PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND OPERATIONS
During the year under review, there has been a marginal increase in the
Income from Operations, mainly due to the divestment of the Company's
Shareholding in Aurangabad Jalna Toll Way Limited. However there has
been a drop in contract Receipts to Rs.27118.25 Lacs in the current
year from Rs.27687.97 Lacs in the previous year. Profit after Tax stood
at Rs.1031.56 Lacs compared to previous year Rs.953.97 Lacs.
Your Company's performance and financial position was adversely
affected due to slow down in infrastructure, high level of working
capital requirement, huge investment in equipments, high interest cost
and blockage of receivables at Government level and arbitration. The
company has availed short term loans/equipment finance. The shorter
repayment period of these loans has resulted stress on the cash flows
of the company. The company's operations were just adequate to
service its interest obligations.
In view of the above it was necessary to restructure debts of the
company to ensure that debt servicing can be sustained out of
operational cash flows of the company. To overcome these difficulties
the company embarked on debt restructuring under CDR mechanism. Your
Board of Directors at their Board Meeting held on 10th December, 2011,
therefore took steps to initiate process for availing relief in terms
of Restructuring of Advances by Banks / Corporate Debt Restructuring
(CDR) Mechanism by making representation to the Lead Bank i.e. Canara
Bank and got the approval of CDR on 31st March, 2012. Under the CDR
certain term loans have been restructured with moratorium in repayment
of installments and certain relief has been provided in the interest.
This year has been very tough for our Company with the overall pressure
on the Infrastructure Industry. Your Company explored avenues by
quoting for new work by tying with Joint Ventures. The Company has a
Order Book position of around Rs.900 crores and is also in the process
of bidding for new contracts in JV.
DIVIDEND
As per the conditions mentioned in the Master Restructuring Agreement
of CDR Package as well as constraints by the Consortium Bankers of the
Company, your Directors regret their inability to propose any dividend
for the year 2011-12.
