During the global downturn experienced over last decade, there has been a distinctive mismatch between cost and yield in the oil and gas exploration. The oil majors had made cautious approach and discouraged their spending on capex. The scenario has positively impacted towards the later part of the year under review. Though investment has grown, the opportunities for service providers has not grown in tandem. However, it has raised expectation for sustainable growth in offshore exploration and production activities, thus opened up opportunities for service providers.

In India, ONGC has resumed its investment plan in exploration, production activity and development of existing fields to meet energy security. Thus opportunities cropped up for service providers like your Companys’ line of business with great assurance for deployment of vessels. But there were competitions resulting reduction in value of project contract which ultimately impacted reduction in Charter rate.

Your Company continues to focus on engagement of your vessels under the available business opportunities.

During the year under review, the Company’s total revenue was Rs. 2124 million against Rs. 2252 million in last year. The reduction in overall revenue was primarily due to under employment of three out of six of your vessels. This apart, one of your vessels engaged with ONGC on a long term Charter had under gone statutory dry docking. Further one of your other vessels with ONGC on a long term Charter was forced to off hire for a short period due to break down. These have caused a double impact on revenue as well as fixed expenses. For the balance vessels, deployment days and a fall in Charter rate remained as a critical factor. Opportunities in Middle East, South East Asia etc. were not encouraging.

Newly acquired Bulk Carrier was employed throughout the year except off hired for a short period warranted by emergency repair. Her performance during the year under review was satisfactory.

Income from operations was Rs. 1936 million as against Rs. 2076 million in the previous year, showing a drop of 7%. However, there was a marginal increase in other income from Rs. 176 million to Rs. 188 million, primarily due to cash surplus, complemented by reduction in interest rate and provisions written back.

The Company has considered the impact of impairment cost of Rs. 26.91 million for vessel “REVELATION” which is under proposal for scrap.

Against a Loss of Rs. 1496 million of previous year, your Company earned a profit of Rs. 3 million during year under review.

On a consolidated basis, total revenue was Rs. 2134 million compared to Rs. 2265 million of previous year. Despite comparative reduction in Revenue, your Company earned a profit after Tax Rs. 10 million against a loss of Rs. 1489 million in the previous year. During year under review, Companys’ cash profit was Rs. 435 million.

Cash & Bank Balance at the beginning of financial year was Rs. 442 million. The balance at the end of the year was Rs. 422 million, an decrease of 5% over last year.

From the Assessment year 2005-06 (relevant accounting year 2004-05), your Company has come under Tonnage tax regime available for shipping Companies under chapter XII - G of Income Tax Act, 1961. Tonnage Tax scheme available initially upto 31.03.2015 has been extended for a further period of 10 years till AY 2024-25. For the year under review, due to absence of profit no Tonnage Tax Reserve was created u/s 115V of Income Tax Act, 1961.

2. OPERATIONS

Two of Company’s vessels are under long term charter with ONGC. Newly acquired Bulk Carrier SEAMEC GALLANT was on deployment almost throughout the year. The remaining three vessels were under deployed due to non-facilitation of Contracts. Out of the 1270 days of deployment, domestic operations registered 946 days and overseas operation was for 324 days only.

3. DIVIDEND

In view of inadequacy in profit, the Board of Directors decided not to recommend Dividend but to use available resources for augmentation of long term capital requirements.

The global economic outlook continues to be in a state of uncertainty. The economies of Asia, South East Asia and Middle East are struggling to push the momentum of growth. The changes in political front in Europe and US are expected to rebalance the sectoral economy. Continued low price of crude oil has influenced the decision of the oil majors tightening capex, a ramification in global growth and global finance market.

India''s economy witnessed a gained steam during first half of the year. The positive impulse, however, was absent during the second half. This was due to some bold economic measures undertaken by Government, but the effect was expected to be transient. The major policy reforms viz GST, Banking, Insolvency Code, relaxed FDI rate and focus on Speedy Infrastructure in a great way will move forward Indian Economy resulting in a GDP Growth of about 8%. To this extent, the performance of Indian Economy is creditably compared to most developed global market, showing macroeconomic stability. However, no significant impact on the Company''s line of business is expected.

Your Company continues to focus on engagement of your vessels under the stressed business environment.

During the year under review, the Company''s total revenue was '' 2252 million against '' 3509 million in last year. The reduction in overall revenue was primarily due to under employment of sizable section of your fleets during monsoon in India which extended to post monsoon period also. Additionally, a sharp fall in Charter rate remained as a crucial factor and at the same time the opportunities in Middle East, South East Asia etc. were conspicuous by their absence Income from operations was '' 2076 million as against '' 3279 million in the previous year, showing a significant drop of 37%. In addition, there was a decline in other income from '' 230 million to '' 176 million, primarily due to reduction in cash surplus, complemented by reduction in interest rate.

Against a profit of Rs, 59 million of previous year, your Company suffered a loss of Rs, 1496 million during year under review. The primary reason attributed to the above loss was provision made for doubtful debts against the receivables from major debtors including Swiber to the extent of Rs, 1385 million.

On a consolidated basis, total revenue was Rs, 2265 million compared to Rs, 3521 million of previous year. The consolidated loss arrived at Rs, 1503 million for the year ended 31st March, 2017 compared to profit earned Rs, 97 million of previous year.

Cash Balance at the beginning of financial year was Rs, 1030 million. The balance at the end of the year was Rs, 404 million, a decrease of 61% over last year. This was due to utilization of funds in purchase of Ship during the year under review.

From the Assessment year 2005-06 (relevant accounting year 2004-05), your Company has come under Tonnage tax regime available for shipping Companies under chapter XII - G of Income Tax Act, 1961. Tonnage Tax scheme available initially up to 31.03.2015 has been extended for a further period of 10 years till AY 2024-25.

The financial year 2013-14 proved to be yet another challenging year for the Shipping Industry, more specifically to your Company''s line of business. Your Company''s vessel deployments were in India and in some parts across globe viz, Middle East, South East Asia, Egypt and West Africa. The earnings of your Company were impacted by dry docking of vessels as well as economic and geo political factors prevailing in the countries where vessels were deployed.

Your Company''s strong management acumen focused on optimum deployment days of vessel. This was complemented by financial conservatism and adherence to stringent quality Standards which resulted in Company''s performance to a level of satisfaction.

During the year under review, the Company''s total revenue was Rs.4234 million as against Rs.3614 million in the previous year, an increase of about 17%. Income from operations was Rs.4079 million as against Rs.3373 million in the previous year, reflecting an increase of about 21 %. Despite increase in turnover, the Company earned a profit of Rs. 10 million which was significantly lower than last years profit of Rs. 341 million. The fundamental reason attributed to decline in profit was the dry dock expenses of Rs. 451 ml which has a double impact on loss of revenue and cost on account of idling time. Besides above, one of the Company''s vessels was utilized for lesser number of days during the year post completion of long term charter and the vessel under Bare Boat was out of operation for about 120 days due to unforeseen Thruster Problem, Revenue from operations from domestic sector was Rs.2485 million and from overseas sector was Rs.1594 million,

On a consolidated basis, total revenue was Rs. 4206 million compared to Rs. 3587 million of previous year. The consolidated profit arrived atRs. 20.12 million for the year ended 31st March, 2014.

Your Company continues to retain its debt free status. Cash Balance at the beginning of financial year was Rs.1004 million, The balance at the end of the year was Rs.1196 million, an increase of 19% over last year,

As reported earlier, the Commissioner of Customs (Import) the adjudicating authority confirmed the assessment made by Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) for an aggregate amount of Rs. 350 million towards Customs duty, Interest and Penalty in the matter of repairs / modifications carried by Vessels outside India. Against the said order, the Company has preferred a Stay and Appeal before H''ble Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT), who while granting the stay has admitted the appeal.

In view of low profit earned and on considering the fact that your company being a capital intensive Industry which requires replacement / upgradation of assets, your Directors decided to conserve the surplus for future growth of the Company, Therefore, your Directors have decided not to recommend dividend distribution for the year under review,

From the Assessment year 2005-06 (relevant accounting year 2004-05) your Company has come under Tonnage regime available for shipping Companies under chapter XII - G of Income Tax Act, 1961. However, due to absence of profit, there has been no Tonnage Tax Reserve created u/s 115V of Income Tax Act, 1961 during this Financial Year,

However, overall deployment has declined due to idling of Vessel under Bare Boat Charter for about 120 days, besides three of Company''s own Vessels were in Dry Dock.

The Company''s Vessels during the year in general operated in India, Middle East, South East Asia, Egypt and West Africa, One of your Company''s Vessels continues on Long Term Charter and is deployed in Indian waters. Other vessels had established a good deployment status. Another vessel completed Long Term Charter in mid-year. Out of the total 1326 days of deployment, vessels domestic operations registered 732 days and overseas operation was for 594 days.

The Global Economy has yet to shake off the fallout from the crisis of 2008-2009. Mature economies are still yet to recover from the effects of this downturn. Slow recovery of world''s economy is partly responsible for the downward trajectory and tapering growth of the shipping industry, more so in India, Middle East and South East Asia, where your Company''s majority operations focused during the year under review. This has impacted the employment of vessels and Charter rates in your Company''s line of business.

Despite the above your Company performed significantly well through its endeavour.

During the year under review the Company''s total revenue was Rs.3615 million as against Rs.1998 million in the previous year, an increase of about 81%.

Revenue from operations from domestic sector was Rs.1957 million and from overseas sector was Rs.1416 million. The enhanced performance of the current financial year was attributed to the consolidation of three derivative factors viz; deployment of vessels, securing reasonable charter rate and effective cost control.

Your Company continued to undertake cost control measures to minimize negative burden. Your Company continues to retain its debt free status. Cash Balance at the beginning of financial year was Rs.416 million. The balance at the end of the year was Rs.1004 million, an increase of 141% over last year.

The Company paid the above amount "under Protest – Subject to adjudication". The Company had also furnished a Bank Guarantee for Rs.83 million. DRI, after final assessment issued Show Cause Notices assessing duty Rs.350 million, Interest, Penalty etc. The Company submitted replies to Commissioner of Customs (Import), the

Adjudicating Authority, who after adjudication finally confirmed the duty, interest, penalty etc. You Company is contemplating to file appeal before the Hon''ble Appellate Tribunal.

From the Assessment year 2005-06 (relevant accounting year 2004-05) your Company has come under Tonnage regime available for shipping Companies under chapter XII – G of Income Tax Act, 1961.

Retained profit carried forward 2139 2243

During the year under review the Company's total revenue was Rs.1998 million as against Rs.1157 million in previous year an increase of about 73%. Income from operations was Rs.1818 million as against Rs.1024 million in the previous year reflecting increase of about 77%.

The Global Economy seemed to be on a very slow recovery path during the year under review. However, employment of vessels and Charter rates were volatile in your Company's line of business. Your Company is in the process of recovery and endeavoured to keep the vessels deployed to the maximum.

The Company fared reasonably well in its endeavour despite some unforeseen circumstances. One of the Vessels secured a Long Term Charter of 3 years for ONGC Job in India scheduled to commence in November'2011. The other Vessels had also moderate deployment record.

The business scenario got a serious setback with the detention of two vessels by Customs in Mumbai on arrival in India in November'2011 for want of Bill of Entry of original import. The Company had purchased these Vessels in India as Indian Flag Vessels. The Vessels were finally released in January'2012 after order of Hon'ble High Court, Bombay.

Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) made a search in the offices of the Company and provisionally assessed duty of Rs.126 million towards duty on repairs / modifications carried out outside India. The Company paid the amount "Under Protest" subject to adjudication. Final Assessment is under process.

Your Company suffered a loss of Rs.105 million during the year under review. The loss suffered during the previous year was Rs.667 million. Though your Company incurred expenses towards Customs charges (DRI), dry-docking, the major factor attributed to incurring of loss was inability on the part of Company to execute firm Charters of two Vessels as these Vessels

were detained by Customs. Detention forced the Company to bear the loss of revenue, operation cost and in addition made the Payment of Liquidated Damage for delay in delivery of Vessel for ONGC Job. Absence of these unforeseen circumstances would have brought back your Company to profitability.

Your Company continued to monitor the cost control measures to minimize adverse burden. Your Company continues to retain its debt free status. Cash Balance at the beginning of financial period was Rs. 2025 million. The balance at the end of the period was Rs.416 million a decrease of 79% over last year.

Due to shipping loss, no Reserve was transferred to Tonnage Tax Reserve u/s 115V of Income Tax Act in the year under review.

2. DIVIDEND

In view of the loss suffered during the year, the Board of Directors has decided not to recommend payment of dividend.

3. OPERATIONS OFFSHORE

The Company owns and operates four multi support vessels. The Company operates an additional vessel under Bareboat Charter from SEAMEC INTERNATIONAL FZE, your Company's Wholly Owned Subsidiary, effective from January'2012.

The Company succeeded in overcoming the volatility of decline in business of last year. Overall deployment has increased significantly to 65% against 49% of last year.

The Company's Vessels during the year in general operated in India and South East Asia. One of the Vessels had undergone modification / upgradation for deployment on a Long Term Contract of 3 years with ONGC. The Charter commenced from end of January'2012 after release of Vessel by Customs. With this two of your Company's Vessels are placed on Long Term Charter. Out of the balance, one had assured significant employment whilst the other had to struggle for employment. The Vessel owned by SEAMEC INTERNATIONAL FZE, was taken under Bareboat Charter, deployed in West Africa for a project with TECHNIP effective from January'2012.

The adverse impact for your company became visible during the year under review.

In addition, three of company's four vessels were under statutory maintenance during the year under review for which Rs. 323,780 thousand was expensed out. The impressive performance achieved during 15 months period ended on 31.03.2010 was overshadowed by the performance of the year ended on 31.03.2011. The revenue from the vessels operations for the period under review was Rs. 1,023,759 thousand against revenue earned for the period ended 31.03.2010 of Rs. 4,248,407 thousand. The inevitable consequence of sharp drop in employment and charter rate of vessels coupling with dry dock of three vessels resulted in ending with loss of Rs. 667,604 thousand for the year 2010- 2011 against the profit of Rs. 2,039,055 thousand in 2009-2010.

During this stressful situation, your Company cautiously monitored the cost control measures to arrest adverse burden. Your Company continues to retain its debt free status.

The company had utilized the Shipping Reserve created under section 33 AC for Rs. 351,000 thousand and Tonnage Tax Reserve for Rs. 59,400 thousand created under section 115V of the Act. These reserves after completion of 3 years were transferred to General Reserve during the year under review.
