Notes to Accounts of Punj Lloyd Ltd.

Mar 31, 2018

1. Corporate information

Punj Lloyd Limited (the Company) is a public limited company domiciled in India. Its equity shares are listed on two recognized stock exchanges in India. The principal place of business of the Company is located at Gurugram, India. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of engineering, procurement and construction in the oil, gas and infrastructure sectors. The Company caters to both domestic and international markets.

These financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on May 30, 2018.

1. The Company has elected to adjust exchange differences arising on translation/settlement of long-term foreign currency monetary items, pertaining to acquisition of a depreciable asset, to the cost of such asset. Accordingly, during the current year, foreign exchange loss of 0.45 (Previous year: foreign exchange gain of 1.98) has been adjusted in the gross block of plant and equipment.

2. Gross block of vehicles includes vehicles of cost Nil (Previous year: 1.25) taken on finance lease. Accumulated depreciation there on is Nil (Previous year: 1.25).

3. Gross block of plant and equipment includes equipment of cost 68.34 (Previous year: 105.35) taken on finance lease. Accumulated depreciation thereon is 68.34 (Previous year: 105.35).

4. For assets pledged as security, refer notes 12(a) and 12(b) and for capital commitments refer note 28.

The Company has business losses and unabsorbed depreciation which are allowed to be carried forward and set off against future taxable income under Income Tax Act, 1961. Owing to uncertainties in earlier years regarding future profits, the Company had refrained from recognising deferred tax assets on such carried forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation. However, the Company has undertaken several measures to improve operational efficiency which have resulted in increased revenues and higher margins. Further, as stated in Note 2 (a) (iii), the management is confident of a favourable outcome of its restructuring proposal submitted with its lenders. Accordingly, based on projected future taxable income and results of operations, the management believes that the Company will more likely than not have sufficient taxable income in future allowing it to realize the carried forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation. In the view of the above, the Company has recognized deferred tax asset, on conservative basis, during the year.

(b) Terms/rights attached to equity shares

The Company has only one class of equity shares having par value of Rs. 2 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian Rupees. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of equity shares will be entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company, after distribution of all preferential amounts. The distribution will be in proportion to the number of equity shares held by the shareholders.

(d) Shares reserved for issue under options

For details of shares reserved for issue under the employee stock option plan (ESOP) of the Company, please refer note 24.

(e) Over the period of five years immediately preceding March 31, 2018, neither any bonus shares were issued nor any shares were allotted for consideration other than cash. Further, no shares were bought back during the said period.

2. Post-employment benefit plans

The Company provides for gratuity for employees in India as per the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. All permanent employees who are in continuous service for a period of 5 years are eligible for gratuity. The amount of gratuity payable on retirement/ termination is the employee''s last drawn basic salary per month computed proportionately for 15 days salary multiplied for the number of years of service. The gratuity plan is a funded plan and the Company makes contribution to recognized funds (in form of insurance policies) in India.

The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

The overall expected rate of return on assets is determined based on the market prices prevailing on that date, applicable to the period over which the obligation is to be settled.

Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which is the risk of change in the interest rates due to market volatility. A decrease therein will increase plan liabilities. Apart from the interest rate, the other significant risks associated with defined benefit plans are inflation risk, economic environment and regulatory changes.

The Company manages its investment positions to achieve long-term investments that are in line with the obligations under the employee benefit plans. The designated trust actively monitors how the duration and expected yield of the investments are matching the expected cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed its processes to manage its risks from previous periods.

3. Segment information

Based on the guiding principles given in Ind AS 108 on ‘Operating Segments'', the Company''s business activity falls within a single operating segment viz. Engineering, procurement and construction services. Accordingly the segment disclosure requirements of Ind AS 108 are not applicable.

# excludes possible liquidated damages which can be levied by customers for delay in execution of projects. The management, based on consultation with various experts, believes that there exist strong reasons why no liquidated damages shall be levied by these customers. Although, there can be no assurances, the Company believes, based on information currently available, that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings is not likely to have an adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company.

*The management believes that the claims made are untenable and is contesting them. As of the reporting date, the management is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the above matters. However, based on favorable decisions/outcomes in similar cases earlier and based on legal opinions /consultations with solicitors, the management believes that there are good chances of success in above mentioned cases and hence, no provision there against is necessary.

f) In respect of the direct tax matters which are subject to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, the management, based on the expert opinions, is confident that these matters, when ultimately concluded, will not have a material impact on the result of operations or the financial position of the Company.

g) The Company, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries, is severally or jointly involved in certain legal cases with its customers / vendors in the ordinary course of business. The management believes that due to the nature of these disputes and in view of numerous uncertainties and variables associated with certain assumptions and judgments, and the effects of changes in the regulatory and legal environment, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related contingencies are subject to substantial changes. The Company regularly monitors its estimated exposure to such loss contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, changes its estimates accordingly. In view of aforesaid reasons, as of the reporting date, it is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of these matters.

5. The Company, during earlier years, accrued claims on Heera Redevelopment Project with Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, based upon management''s assessment of cost over-run arising due to design changes and consequent changes in the scope of work on the said project since it was of the view that the delay in execution of the project was attributable to the customer. After all the discussions in various forums to resolve the matter mutually, the Company, with a view to resolve the matter in finality, expeditiously and with legal enforceability, re-commenced the arbitration proceedings. The management is confident of satisfactory settlement of the dispute.

6. The Company has a process whereby periodically all long term contracts (including derivative contracts) are assessed for material foreseeable losses.

7. The Company has defaulted in repayment of dues (including interest) amounting to 1,274.36 as on March 31, 2018 (March 31, 2017: 717.80).

(b) Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments are classified into three levels in order to provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining the fair values.

The categories used are as follows:

Level 1: Where fair value is based on quoted prices from active market.

Level 2: Where fair value is based on significant direct or indirect observable market inputs.

Level 3: Where fair value is based on one or more significant input that is not based on observable market data.

(c) Fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost

The carrying amounts of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost, disclosed in note (a) above, approximates to their fair values. Accordingly, the fair values of such instruments have not been disclosed separately.

(d) Valuation techniques and processes used to determine fair value

Fair value of quoted investments is based on the quotation as at the reporting date. For unquoted investments, fair value is determined based on the present values, calculated using internationally accepted valuation principles, by independent valuers.

(e) Valuation inputs and relationships to fair value

Significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurement.

8. Financial risk management objective and policies

The Company''s principal financial instruments are as follows:

Financial assets: Investments, Cash and cash equivalents, Loans, Trade and other receivables,

Financial liabilities: Borrowings, Trade and other payables.

The main purpose of these financial instruments is to regulate, finance and support the Company''s operations.

The Company is exposed to various financial risks such as credit, liquidity and market risk. An experienced and qualified team ensures that all financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company''s policies and risk objectives.

A. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade and other receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and other financial instruments.

A.1. Trade receivables

The Company executes various projects for public sector/ government undertaking and others at various locations, including overseas. Trade receivables are contractual amounts due from these customers for works certified. Trade receivables are noninterest bearing and are generally on 30 to 45 days credit, depending upon contractual terms. The management evaluates the outstanding receivables on a periodic basis and provides for the impairment loss based on the established ECL policy, as described below.

The Company follows a ‘simplified approach'' (i.e. based on lifetime ECL) for recognition of impairment loss allowance on its trade receivables. For the purpose of measuring lifetime ECL allowance for trade receivables, the Company estimates irrecoverable amounts based on the ageing of the receivable balances, clubbed with, historical experience with the customer and/or the industry in which the customer operates and assessment of litigation, if applicable. Receivables are written off when they are no more deemed collectible.

. Though the Company executes projects with repeat customers but there is no significant customer level concentration of the credit risk as at any of the reported periods. Further, there is no concentrated risk based on the location where the Company operates.

A.2. Other financial assets

Loans and receivable from related parties are periodically reviewed by the management in conjunction with the re-measured fair values of the Company''s investments in those parties. Where the carrying amount of any receivable exceeds the re-measured fair value of investment, an impairment loss, to that extent, is provided for in the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents are managed by the Company''s treasury department. Concentration risk is constantly monitored to mitigate financial loss.

The Company''s maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the financial assets as at March 31, 2018, March 31, 2017 is to the extent of their respective carrying amounts as disclosed in note 7.

B. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses. The Company''s objective is to maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements, both immediate and long-term. The finance needs are monitored and managed by the Company''s treasury department, in consultation with the project teams and management. The Company takes support from its secured lenders to finance and support the Company''s operations.

The Company''s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans (term and working capital loans), including debentures. The working capital loans are generally revolving in nature and linked with the current assets of the projects. Of the total term debts of 2,019.42, approximately 76% is payable in less than one year at March 31, 2018 (March 31, 2017: 53% of 2,238.67) based on the carrying value of such borrowings reflected in the financial statements. Certain delays and defaults were noticed in scheduled repayment during the reported financial years. However, the Company is taking necessary corrective actions to rectify the defaults and is also in talks with its existing lender to carve out an overall financial restructuring. Such restructuring, when executed, would give the sufficient liquidity to chart out the business turnaround and would also provide an extended period to repay its current debt portfolio, including the over-due amounts.

Other financial liabilities, like trade and other payables, matures predominantly within one year.

C. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk.

The sensitivity analysis as shown below relates to the position as at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017. The sensitivity of the relevant profit or loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

C.1. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company''s main interest rate risk arises from borrowings with variable rates, which exposes the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. As at March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, the Company''s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in INR and USD.

The Company''s fixed rate borrowings are carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying mount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates.

C.1.2. Interest rate sensitivity

With all other variables held constant, increase of 50 basis points (bps) will result in a loss of 29.40 before tax (Previous year: 28.22) and a decrease of 50 bps will result in a gain of 29.40 before tax (Previous year: 28.22).

C.2. Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company''s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company''s un-hedged foreign currency exposure of its Indian operations and Company''s net investment in its foreign operations.

C.3. Other price risk

Company''s exposure to equity securities price risk arises from quoted investments held and classified in the balance sheet as fair value through OCI. Company''s exposure is insignificant, since Company''s investment in such securities is immaterial.

9. Capital management

Risk management:

For the purpose of the capital management, capital includes the issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders. The Company''s objective when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

Loan covenants:

Under the terms of some borrowing facilities, the Company is required to comply with the certain financial covenants. The Company aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants could permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. There have been some breaches in the financial covenants during the reporting periods; however the management, in collaboration with its bankers, is taking necessary corrective measures to rectify the breaches.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

The Management of the Company is of the opinion that such transactions with Associated Enterprises are at arm''s length and hence in compliance with the aforesaid legislation.

f) Capitalization of expenditure

During the current and previous year ended on March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, the Company has not capitalized any expenditure of revenue nature to the cost of tangible asset/ intangible assets under development.

g) During the current year, the Singapore High Court (‘the Court'') heard upon the application filed by Judicial Management (JM) of Punj Lloyd Pte.

The Company believed that the above statements were made under undue mental pressure and physical exhaustion and therefore Company retracted the above statements subsequently. The Company filed fresh returns of income for Assessment years (AY) 2004-05 to 2009-10 in pursuance of the notices dated August 25, 2010 from the Income Tax Department (“the Department”). The Department completed the assessments for the AY 2004-05 to 2010-11 and created demands aggregating to '' 229.13 crores, by making some frivolous additions to the total income of the Company, which were adjusted against the income tax refunds of the said/subsequent years. The Company filed appeals against these additions on January 27, 2012 and June 12, 2013. On August 29, 2014, favorable orders were received from the CIT (Appeals) for the AY 2004-05 to 2006-07 for all the additions made except for the addition relating to permanent establishment, for which further appeal was filed by the Company to ITAT, Delhi dated October 31, 2014. Based on the expert opinion, the Company is hopeful that it will get relief in appeals pending before the CIT-(A) and/or Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. Hence, no adjustment is considered necessary for these matters.

f) The Company, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries, is severally or jointly involved in certain legal cases with its customers / vendors in the ordinary course of business. The management believes that due to the nature of these disputes and in view of numerous uncertainties and variables associated with certain assumptions and judgments, and the effects of changes in the regulatory and legal environment, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related contingencies are subject to substantial changes. The Company regularly monitors its estimated exposure to such loss contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, changes its estimates accordingly. In view of aforesaid reasons, as of the reporting date, it is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of these matters.

12. Derivative instruments and un-hedged foreign currency exposure

The Company, in addition to its Indian operations, operates outside India through its branches and an unincorporated joint venture established in United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Qatar, Libya, Thailand, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

13. a) The Company, during earlier years, accrued claims amounting to Rs, 735.80 crores (Previous year Rs, 735.80 crores) on Heera

Redevelopment Project with Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, based upon management''s assessment of cost over-run arising due to design changes and consequent changes in the scope of work on the said project since it was of the view that the delay in execution of the project was attributable to the customer. Due to the said reasons, certain differences and dispute arose between the parties and several rounds of discussions were held to explore the possibility of amicable resolution of the dispute mutually. The Company, with a view to resolve the matter in finality, expeditiously and with legal enforceability re-commenced the arbitration proceedings, which were kept in abeyance owing to proceedings by the Outside Expert Committee. The management is confident of satisfactory settlement of the dispute and recovery of the said amounts, accordingly no adjustments have been considered necessary in these financial statements.

b) During the year, in an effort to revive their operations, Punj Lloyd Pte Limited (PLPL) and Sembawang Engineers and Constructors Pte Limited (SEC), subsidiaries of the Company, filed separate applications before the Singapore High Court (“the Court”) for seeking its approval to enter into Schemes of Arrangement with their respective creditors pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Singapore Companies Act. In the meetings called as directed by the Court, SEC''s scheme could not get the requisite majority and PLPL''s scheme was withdrawn.

Subsequently, as a next course of action available under the Singapore Companies Act, these subsidiaries have filed separate applications before the Court for placing them under the Judicial Management. The said applications were admitted by the court and are currently pending for hearing.

As at March 31, 2016, the Company has investments and receivables aggregating to Rs, 1,103.72 crores from these subsidiaries. The management believes that the above developments do not necessitate any adjustment against the aforesaid amounts, as it is confident of realizing these assets in excess of their book value. Hence, no adjustments have been considered necessary in these financial statements.

14. The Company has a process whereby periodically all long term contracts (including derivative contracts) are assessed for material foreseeable losses. At the year end, the Company has reviewed and ensured that adequate provision as required under the law/ Accounting Standards for the material foreseeable losses on such long term contracts (including derivative contracts, if any) has been made in the books of accounts.

The cost of such material amounting to Rs, 558.24 crores (Previous year Rs, 931.55 crores) has been included under project material consumed and cost of goods sold.

* excluding foreign operations, comprising foreign branches and an un-incorporated joint venture.

Gross block of plant and equipment includes Rs. 5.82 crores and accumulated depreciation includes Rs. 5.82 crores (Previous year Rs. 5.82 crores and Rs. 4.66 crores respectively) on account of revaluation of assets carried out in earlier years.

Although, there can be no assurances, the Company believes, based on information currently available, that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings is not likely to have an adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of the Company.

* The management believes that the claims made are untenable and is contesting them. As of the reporting date, the management is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of the above matters. However, based on favorable decisions/outcomes in similar cases earlier and based on legal opinions taken /consultations done with solicitors, the management believes that there are good chances of success in above mentioned cases and hence, no provision there against is considered necessary.

e) On March 17, 2010, the Company was subjected to a search and seizure operation under Section 132 and survey under Section 133A of the Income tax Act, 1961. During the search and seizure operation, statements of Company's officials were recorded in which they were made to offer some unaccounted income of the Company for the financial year 2009-10. The Company believes that the above statements were made under undue mental pressure and physical exhaustion and therefore Company has retracted the above statements subsequently. The Company has filed fresh returns of income for Assessment years 2004-05 to 2009-10 in pursuance of the notices dated August 25, 2010 from the Income Tax Department ("the Department"). The Department had completed the assessments for the assessment years 2004-05 to 2010-11 and issue demands aggregating to Rs. 229.13 crores, by making some frivolous additions to the total income of the Company, which has been adjusted against the income tax refunds of the said/subsequent years. The Company had filed the appeals against these additions on January 27, 2012 and June 12, 2013. During the second quarter of FY 2014-15, favorable orders have been received from the CIT (Appeals) dated August 29, 2014 for the assessment year 2004-05 to 2006-07 on all the additions made except for the addition of permanent establishment for which further appeal has been filed by the Company to ITAT, Delhi dated October 31,2014 and based on the expert opinion, the Company is hopeful that it will get relief in appeal.

f) The Company, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries, is severally or jointly involved in certain legal cases with its customers / vendors in the ordinary course of business. The management believes that due to the nature of these disputes and in view of numerous uncertainties and variables associated with certain assumptions and judgments, and the effects of changes in the regulatory and legal environment, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates of the related contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties. The Company regularly monitors its estimated exposure to such loss contingencies and, as additional information becomes known, changes its estimates accordingly. In view of aforesaid reasons, as of the reporting date, it is unable to determine the ultimate outcome of these matters.

14. Derivative instruments and un-hedged foreign currency exposure

The Company, in addition to its Indian operations, operates outside India through its branches and an unincorporated joint venture established in United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Qatar, Libya, Thailand, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

a) Particulars of un-hedged foreign currency exposures of the Indian operations as at the Balance Sheet date:

b) The income and expenditure of the foreign branches and unincorporated joint venture are denominated in currencies other than reporting currency. Accordingly, the Company enjoys natural hedge in respect of its foreign branches and unincorporated joint ventures' assets and liabilities. The Company's un-hedged foreign currency exposure in these branches and un-incorporated joint venture is limited to the net investment (assets - liabilities) in such operations, the particulars of which are as under:

15. a) The Company had executed certain projects in earlier years on which the customers have made deductions/ withheld amounts aggregating to Rs. 49.35 crores (Previous year Rs. 53.91 crores), which are being carried as trade receivables. The Company has commenced arbitration/legal proceedings for recovery of amounts withheld and also for settlement of additional claims filed against these Customers. Pending outcome of arbitration/legal proceedings, amounts withheld/ deductions made are being carried forward as recoverable. The Company has been legally advised that there is no justification in imposition of deductions by these customers and hence the above amounts are considered good of recovery.

b) The Company has accrued claims amounting to Rs. 735.80 crores (Previous year Rs. 735.80 crores) on Heera Redevelopment Project with Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, based upon management's assessment of cost over-run arising due to design changes and consequent changes in the scope of work on the said project since it is of the view that the delay in execution of the project is attributable to the customer. Due to the said reasons, certain differences and dispute arose between both the parties and several rounds of discussions were held to explore the possibility of amicable resolution of the dispute mutually. The matter was referred to an Outside Expert Committee (OEC). Based on developments during the year, the Company has come to the view that the settlement process can be best resolved in finality, expeditiously and with legal enforceability only through arbitration and hence has re-commenced the arbitration proceedings, which were kept in abeyance owing to proceedings by the OEC. The management is confident of satisfactory settlement of the dispute and recovery of the said amounts, accordingly no adjustments have been considered necessary in these financial statements.

c) During the previous year, the Company's branch in Thailand had received a termination notice for the Fourth Transmission Pipeline Project (the Project) with PTT Thailand (the Customer) on the grounds of delay in execution of the Project for reasons solely attributable to the Branch and for not honoring the contractual obligations of the Project.

During the current year, the assessment proceedings for the assessment years 2007-08 to 2010-11 have been completed and the draft assessment orders have been issued by the Department. The amount of demand, if any, can be ascertained only upon issue of the final orders by the Department.

The Company, along with its Indian Operations, is operating outside India through its branches and an unincorporated joint venture established in Abu Dhabi, Oman, Qatar, Libya, Thailand, Dubai, Bahrain, Columbia and Mexico.

10. The Company had executed certain projects for some customers in earlier years. These customers have withheld amounts aggregating to Rs. 58.02 crores (Previous year Rs. 308.57 crores) on account of deductions made/amount withheld by some customers, which are being carried as trade receivables. The Company has also filed certain claims against these customers. The Company has gone into arbitration/legal proceedings against these customers for recovery of amounts withheld and for claims lodged by the Company. Pending outcome of arbitration/legal proceedings, amounts withheld for deductions made/old work in progress are being carried forward as recoverable. The Company has been legally advised that there is no justification in imposition of deductions by these customers and hence the above amounts are considered good of recovery.

11. The Company has an investment in the equity and preference capital amounting to Rs. 299.71 crores (Previous year Rs. 299.71 crores) in its subsidiary at Singapore and has loans and advance outstanding to Rs. 1,538.71 crores (Previous year Rs. 1,466.31 crores) as at March 31, 2013 from the said subsidiary. The subsidiary has accumulated losses of Rs. 413.27 crores (Previous year Rs. 625.75 crores) as at March 31, 2013. However, the subsidiary is holding certain strategic investments. Considering the intrinsic value of the investments held by the subsidiary, based on the valuation carried out by an independent valuer, and also considering the long term business plan of the subsidiary including the forecasts of profitability of operations, the Company is of the view that there is no other than temporary diminution in the value of investment and accordingly, no provision is considered necessary in the financial statements at this stage on the above account.

12. The Company has unbilled revenue (work-in-progress) of Rs. 532.86 crores on certain projects on account of variation arising due to change in scope of work and delays which is attributable to the customers. The Management, based on the expert inputs, is of the view that the Company would collect the above stated amount upon completion of the processing of the claims by the clients. Accordingly, the above amounts are considered good of recovery.

13. Sales include Rs. 275.53 crores (Previous year Rs. 198.52 crores) representing the retention money which will be received by the Company after the satisfactory performance of the respective projects. The period of release of retention money may vary from six months to eighteen months depending upon the terms & conditions of the projects.

14. The Company had during an earlier year accounted for a claim of Rs. 243.03 crores (Previous year Rs. 243.03 crores) on Heera Redevelopment Project with Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited, based upon management''s assessment of cost over-run arising due to design changes and consequent changes in the scope of work on the project and had also not accounted for liquidated damages amounting to Rs. 7.30 crores (Previous year Rs. 7.30 crores) deducted by the customer since it is of the view that the delay in execution of the project is attributable to the customer. The Company had initiated arbitration proceedings against the customer during an earlier year, which has, on mutual agreement with the client, been adjourned. The dispute has been referred to the Outside Expert Committee which is likely to resolve the same in an expeditious manner. The management, based on the expert inputs, is confident of recovery of amounts exceeding the recognized claim and waiver of liquidated damages.

15. Asset of Rs. 8.23 crores, (Previous year Rs. 7.29 crores) recognized by the Company as ''Minimum alternate tax credit entitlement'' under ''Loans and advances'', in respect of minimum alternate tax payment for current and earlier years, represents that portion of minimum alternate tax liability which can be recovered and set off in subsequent periods based on the provisions of Section 115JAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The management based on the present trend of profitability and also the future profitability projections, is of the view that there would be sufficient taxable income in foreseeable future, which will enable the Company to utilize Minimum alternate tax credit assets.

The bond holders have an option of converting these bonds into equity shares. For the purpose, the number of equity shares to be issued shall be determined taking the initial conversion price of Rs. 1,362.94 per equity share (Face value Rs 10) and a fixed rate of exchange conversion of Rs 44.35 = US $ 1.00, at any time on or after July 1, 2006 and prior to close of business on March 24, 2011, unless redeemed, repurchased and cancelled or converted.

The Company, as per the Companies Accounting Standard Rules, 2009, had exercised the option of deferring the charge to Profit & Loss Account arising on exchange differences in respect of accounting periods commencing on or after December 07, 2006, on long term foreign currency monetary items.

The unamortized balance in this account as at March 31, 2010 is Rs. 2,319 thousand (Previous year Rs. (462,946 )thousand).

14. Loans to Subsidiaries include Rs. 1,084,503 thousand (Previous year Rs. 1,193,057 thousand) (including interest thereon) on account of loan given by the Company to its step-down subsidiary, Simon Carves Limited, (Simon) and also encashment of bank guarantee given by the Company to a customer of such step down subsidiary. As per the audited financial statements of Simon as at March 31, 2010, it has incurred substantial losses during the current year and the previous year, resulting in its accumulated losses far exceeding its net worth. The Company is hopeful that in view of the restructuring undertaken by Simon and its future profitability projections, Simon would be able to repay the above amount.

In any case, Punj Lloyd Pte Ltd, Singapore, a subsidiary of the Company and the immediate holding Company of Simon, has guaranteed the payment of above outstanding to the Company in case Simon is unable to pay the same.

15. During the previous year,the Company had entered into an agreement to sell its Internet Services Division (ISP) with Citycom Networks Private Limited. As per the terms of agreement effective from June 01, 2008, the operations and controls of ISP division have been transferred to the acquirer and all profits/losses that arise after that date are to the account of the acquirer.

The Company had accordingly not included the results of operation of ISP Division in its financial statement from June 01, 2008.

For implementation of sale, the Company had filed a Scheme of arrangement and demerger under Sections-391-394 and other relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 with the Honble High Court of Delhi, for demerger of the ISP division of the Company and vesting of the same in Spectra ISP Networks Private Limited (Formerly PL Engineering Private Limited), its wholly owned subsidiary, with effect from the appointed date i.e. June 01, 2008. During the year the Company has received the order from the Honble High Court of Delhi, for demerger of the ISP division of the Company and vesting of the same in Spectra ISP Networks Private Limited w.e.f. the appointed date of June 01, 2008.

16. On March 17, 2010, the Company was subjected to a search and seizure operation under Section 132 and survey under Section 133A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. During the search and seizure operation, statements of Companys officials were recorded in which they were made to offer some unaccounted income of the Company for the financial year 2009-10. The Company is of the view that the above statements were made under undue mental pressure and physical exhaustion and it has retracted the above statements subsequently. In view of the above, tax liability, if any that may arise on this account is presently unascertainable.

17. During the year, the Company has issued 27,900,920 equity shares to Qualified Institutional Buyers @ Rs 240.20 per share on August 11, 2009 under chapter XIII A of SEBI (DIP) Guidelines 2000 as amended from time to time. Accordingly, Rs. 6,645,999 thousand has been transferred to Securities Premium Account. Expenses of Rs. 192,760 thousand incurred in connection with the issue have been adjusted against Securities Premium Account in terms of Section 78 of the Companies Act, 1956.

18. The Company had during an earlier year obtained approval of Central Government for a contract entered with a private company in which a director of the Company is a director, to execute a project for them for values not exceeding Rs.1,410,000 thousand. The scope of the project has been enhanced and as at March 31, 2010, it has exceeded the Central Government approval by Rs. 19,476 thousand. The management is in the process of informing the scope enhancements to the Central Government and seeking their approval for the same.

19. Sales include Rs. 1,348,221 thousand (Previous year Rs. 1,819,116 thousand) representing the retention money which will be received by the Company after the satisfactory performance of the respective projects. The period of release of retention money may vary from six months to eighteen months depending upon the terms & conditions of the projects.

20. The Company has during the year accounted for a claim of Rs. 2,430,300 thousand on a contract, based upon managements assessment of cost over-run arising due to design changes and consequent changes in the scope of work on a project and has also not accounted for liquidated damages amounting to Rs. 654,891 thousand deducted by the customer since it is of the view that the delay in execution of the project is attributable to the customer.
