PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

The year under review has been one of the most difficult year for Your Company. Operating levels at all the production lines declined substantially and recorded low capacity utilizations. Tubes 7.8% (29.32) and CR Coils18.9% (27.18%), while the GP/GC Line remained inoperative in FY15 also. Gross revenues of the Company have hence declined to Rs.88.54 Crore (Rs.201.58 Crore) and the Company has suffered an Operating Loss (LBDIT) of Rs.14.00 Crore (Rs.3.74 Crore).

As the GP/GC line remained closed during the year, your Company has provided depreciation on these assets @10% of the stipulated rates under the Act. A corresponding write back of depreciation has been made (under Exceptional & Extraordinary Items) for FY14 also for similar reasons. Besides, the provisions of Companies Act 2013 have also been applied, and all these factors have resulted in a lower Depreciation Provision for the year at Rs.2.61 Crore (Rs.9.40 Crore). The Net Loss (before extraordinary items) stands at Rs.17.03 Crore (Rs.14.28 Crore), which after accounting for extraordinary items stand reduced to Rs.11.07 Crore (Profit Rs.3.41 Crore).

Market Opportunities

Amidst Global glut, steel imports into the Country have jumped by over 73% in the last fiscal and have continued to register increasing imports in the current year also. The local Steel Industry is therefore being forced to reduce prices continuously, month after month, to remain competitive, and have also been strongly lobbying with the Steel Ministry for imposing higher import duties to help them compete with the overseas rivals. In fact, benchmark CIS and China HRC export prices are stated have touched new 10 year lows in July 2015, and there is a clear advantage of about of Rs.2000/ - pmt over the domestic prices. Prices of domestically produced steel are therefore under tremendous pressure. The market conditions for your Company also are hence expected to remain tough throughout whole of FY16. Besides, Investors and Lenders are also expected to remain wary of making further/new investments and the liquidity of your Company is likely to remain under strain in FY16 too.

Your Company is hence looking at low operations during the year, and awaits tie up for some strategic alliance with an Investor/Lender for upping its scale of operations.

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

Operating capacities at your Company''s Production lines - viz Tubes/ Pipes and CR/GP/GC Coils - suffered a decline vis-a-vis the previous year. While the Tube Mills registered about a 3% decline in Capacity utilization to 29.31%, utilization at the CR Mill fell to 27.2% from 48.9% in the previous year. The GP/GC line, that has essentially been run on Job Work for others, remained practically closed during FY14 also. Gross Revenues therefore recorded a decline to Rs.225.19 Crore (Previous year Rs.265.52 Crore). However, the Company suffered a lower operating loss (LBDIT) of Rs.373.59 Crore (Previous year Rs.1216.39 Crore) due to relatively better realizations/contributions in the year. Further, during the year, IFCI stood fully repaid and paid out as per settlement terms concluded with them, and your Company has hence accounted for interest and depreciation write back aggregating to Rs.1517.89 lacs arising therefrom, under its P8iL A/c. As a result of these Write Backs, net profit for the year stands at Rs.340.55 lacs (Previous year loss of Rs.2347.65 lacs).

Market Opportunities

Market experts are voicing cautious optimism on prospects of the Steel Industry in the near term. A decisive mandate in the General Elections is expected to allow the new Government to quickly focus on Infrastructure developments and boost demand for Steel. On the other hand, higher food inflation, rising fuel prices due to political instability in West Asia, Iron ore mining restrictions, higher dependency on coking coal imports etc are sure to act as impediments for the Steel Industry in particular. Thus, your Company expects price constraints and demand depression to continue and keep operating margins compressed in the current year also. However, your Company has an established network of dealers/ stockiest and marketing reach, and no major bottlenecks or difficulties are envisaged to be encountered for marketing of its products.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION & RESTRUCTURING PACKAGE

Your Company has, since FY09, entered into Negotiated Settlement of Dues with practically all its Secured Lenders (only one lender remains to conclude settlement with the Company and negotiations with them are under way). By end FY14, most of the lenders stand repaid & exited from the Company and only two lenders are outstanding in the Books, (who will also stand repaid in due course as per terms agreed/to be agreed with them). Therefore, as the emphasis and thrust has been on a repayment of the concluded settlements, the Company has not invested further into the incomplete 6 Hi CR Mill. Your Company will initiate steps for completing of this Mill immediately after settlement commitments to lenders are met and adequate finances tied up for completion & operations of the 6 Hi CR Mill.

FIXED DEPOSITS

The Company has not accepted any public deposits during the year under review.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with the provisions of Section 152 of the Companies Act, 2013 and in terms of the Articles of Associations of the Company, Mr. Satish Chandra Mundra, Director(Din No: 00011532), retires by rotation at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and being eligible, offers himself for re-appointment.

- PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

Capacity utilization at the three production lines of the Company have been (i) Tubes-32.36% (42.74%), (ii) CR Coils-48.93%(43.90%) and

(iii) GP/GC-6.60% (28.37%). Members may note that the GP/GC line was essentially run on job work till the third quarter of FY12, and slowdown in demand associated with poor margins has resulted in job activities coming to a standstill thereafter. This line has not been regularly operational since then, while the other two lines - Tube & CR Coils - have remained operational within Working Capital constraints as hitherto.

Total revenues stand at Rs.265.52 Crore (Rs.360.33 Crore). The Company suffered an operating loss (LBIDTA) of Rs. (1216.39) Crore as against an operating profit of Rs.327.64 in the previous year, essentially due to substantially lower volumes, irregular production schedules and poor contributions during the year. Further, net loss stand at Rs. (2347.60) Crore as against Rs.(759.00) in the previous year. Pertinently, your Company had accounted for interest & depreciation write back of Rs.2134.79 Crore in the previous year (due to settlement and pay out of two of its lenders LIC & IDBI (CRPS)) and after accounting for the write-back net profit for the previous year stood Rs. 1356.33 Lacs. During FY13, however, there has been no such write-backs.

- Market Opportunities

Domestic steel producers seem to be heading for a worse -than- expected market conditions in the second half of the current fiscal FY14. Muted

demand from the Auto Sector, Consumer durables, Infrastructure etc, sectors, overhang from the economic crisis, rising input costs, threat from imports etc has already resulted in falling demand and margins for Steel in the Country. Your Company therefore, similarly expects to face demand depression in the current year also. However, with an established marketing and dealer/stockiest network, your Company expects to meet this depression and maintain its operating levels.

- PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION & RESTRUCTURING PACKAGE

Your Company began the process of reaching settlement with all its secured lenders sometime in FY09 and -as a result most of its lenders stand paid out and exited from the Company. Of the remaining three lenders, two have concluded settlement with your Company and repayment to them under the settlement are upto date. Your Company expects to reach amicable settlement terms with the last remaining lender also and repay them over the negotiated period. Therefore, further investments into the 6 Hi CR Mill, that forms a part of the diversification undertaken by the Company, has remained suspended in FY13. Your Company will take steps for its completion after reaching financial closure with any Investor/Lender for the purpose.

- FIXED DEPOSITS

The Company has not accepted any Fixed Deposits during the year under review, as per Section 58A of the Companies Act, 1956.

- PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

The three production lines of the Company viz- Tubes, CR Coils and GP/GC Coils operated at 42.74% (43.05%), 43.90% (39.92%) and 28.37% (53.91%) respectively during the year. While utilization at the Tube & CR mills have been similar to the previous year levels, the Galvanising line operations got hit due to lower quantities received for job work during the year and eventual termination of Job agreements towards the third quarter of the year. Members may recall that the Galvanising line has, hitherto, essentially been operated on Job Work. Total Revenues for the year stood at Rs.360.34 Crore (Rs.266.07 Crore). Operating Profits (EBIDTA) stands at Rs.3.27 Crore (Rs.2.63 Crore). Further, during the year, two more lenders -viz LIC and IDBI (as CRPS holders) stood fully repaid as per the terms of settlement reached respectively with them. Therefore, the write-offs entailed under these settlements amounting to Rs.21.15 Crore (previous year Rs. 14.92 Crore) have been written back to the P&L A/c and the resulting Net Profit carried over to the Balance Sheet stand at Rs.13.56 Crore (Previous year Rs.5.34 Crore).

- Market opportunities

The Indian Steel sector, in the near term faces a threat of impending slow down, due to various Global factors, economic slowdown, a below average monsoon etc. The industry is therefore expected to put up a somewhat subdued performance in the current year, although in the medium and long term, the underlying note of optimism continues. Your Company also expects to be able to maintain its operating levels for the current year. The Company's products continue to enjoy a good demand, and despite the slowdown, it is only Working Capital Constraints that restrict operations at the plants. Operating levels are expected to improve in the near future once necessary finances are tied up for operations.

- PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION & RESTRUCTURING PACKAGE

Members are aware that the Company has concluded a 'Negotiated Settlement of Dues' with practically all its lenders and by end FY12, 05 Secured Lenders and IDBI (as CRPS holders) have exited from the Company. It is expected that similarly the remaining lenders will stand fully repaid in due course as per the agreed schedule. Meanwhile, however, the 6 Hi CR Mill remains incomplete, although all other production facilities are fully operational and running. Your Company will take steps to complete the 6 Hi Mill as soon as it reaches financial closure with any Investor/ Lender for this purpose.

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

Your Company has recorded a growth of about 37.33% in its total Income to Rs. 266.07 Crore (Previous year Rs. 200.65 Crore). The capacity utilization recorded at its three production lines are: Tubes - 43.05% (35%), CR Coils - 39.92% (41.08%) and CGL - 53.91% (82.10%). Members may observe that while the Tube Mills, which are not offered on lease to others, have recorded improved capacity utilization, the CR & GP/GC Lines that are essentially run on Job Work, have suffered a decline in production due to a slowdown in job activities sometime In the third quarter of FY-11. However, due to improved price realization on the products sold, operating profits (EBIDTA) of the Company has Improved to Rs. 2.59 Crore (previous year Rs. 0.98 Crore).

Pertinently, during the year, three more lenders of the Company stood fully repaid in terms of the settlements reached respectively with them. Accordingly, the waivers entailed under these respective settlements stand accounted for in the Company's books, and a sum of Rs. 14.92 Crore (previous year Rs. 16.47 Crore) has been written back to the Profit & Loss account. The net profit carried over to the Balance Sheet (after accounting for waivers) is Rs. 5.34 Crore (previous year Rs. 5.38 Crore).

Market Opportunities

The buoyancy in the steel markets, witnessed In most of FY-11, Is widely expected to continue in the years to follow. In the imminent future, however, manufacturing indexes across the Globe have fallen and near term demand Is expected to remain weak. Europe's debt crisis, US political haggling over the nation's debt limit, monetary tightening in China etc have combined to restrain the Global recovery.

The Indian Economy - including the Steel Sector - cannot remain isolated arTd the near term outlook looks weak in relation to the previous period. However, with our economy still expected to grow at over 8%, and with increasing demand from within the country itself, the slowdown is expected to make only a small near-term dent in growth of the Indian Steel Industry. Besides, your Company's products continue to be in good demand, and future prospects are bright. Your Company expects to soon resolve issues with the last remaining lender and tie-up funds for its operations/ incomplete project , that will act as a trigger for future rapid growth & profitability.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION & RESTRUCTURING PACKAGE

All, but one, of the Company's existing lenders, have concluded "Negotiated Settlement of Dues" (NSD) with your Company. By the end of FY-11, four of such lenders stand fully paid out, and in respect of the others, your Company is making periodic repayments under the schedule agreed respectively with them. It is expected that the last remaining lender will also fall in line and conclude settlement with your Company soon. The Company now expects to tie up funds from new lenders/ Investors, and work on the incomplete 6 Hi CR Mill will be resumed Immediately after obtaining financial commitment from any lender / investor. Having resolved most of the issues with the existing lenders your Company is hopeful of now reaching an early financial closure.

FIXED DEPOSITS

The Company has not accepted any Fixed Deposit during the year under review, as per Section 58A of the Companies Act, 1956.

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

Your Company registered an improvement in capacity utilization at all its production lines during the year, contributed largely by an overall recovery in Global / Indian economy.

The Tube, CR and Galvanising (GP/GC) lines have registered capacity utilizations of 35.00% (31.31%), 41.08% (28.92%) and 82.10% (55.25%) respectively (figures in brackets represent corresponding previous year levels). Operations at the Tube mill, albeit marginally higher, continued to face Working Capital constraints. The CR &. GP/GC lines, that essentially carried out job activities for others, however, recorded improved operating levels due to higher job volumes resulting from a robust demand for these products.

At the above levels, Gross Revenues for the year stood at Rs.200.65 Crore (Rs.204.49 Crore). The marginal decline in revenues, despite improved capacity utilization is on account of the relatively lower per ton (average) price realization during the year vis-a-vis the previous year. Your Company earned an operating profit (EBDITA) of Rs.98.08 lacs (previous year loss of Rs.451.79 lacs) from its operations.

Members are also informed that in accordance with a settlement reached with UTI, in respect of Non Convertible Debentures allotted to them, your Company/Promoters has fully repaid the said settled amount during the year and the residual outstandings against their names has been written off. Consequently, a sum of Rs. 16.47 Crore has been written- back to the Profit & Loss Account. The Net Profit carried over to Balance Sheet is Rs.5.38 Crore (Previous year loss of Rs.17.34 Crore).

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

AH estimates points to the Steel Industry in India moving from strength to strength. In a recent estimate by the Ministry of Steel, India is expected to become the second largest steel producer by 2012, by more than doubling its capacity to 124 mn tones in order to support the estimated overall infrastructure development. Further, the Ministry has also projected that over the next five years, demand will grow at a higher average growth rate of 10% as compared to around 7% growth achieved between 1991-92 and 2005-06. Similarly, another estimate prepared by the World Steel Association - a body that represents Major Steel Producers in the world and whose members account for over 85% of the worlds steel - has forecast Steel demand In India to grow by over 13.7% p.a. in 2010 & 2011 as against about 7.7% recorded last year, and the momentum is expected to be maintained even thereafter. The world steel demand is also expected by them to grow by 5.3% during 2011.

The rebound is also expected to fuel a sharp rise in steel prices this fiscal. With economic and steel market conditions becoming more favourable and the steel producers needing to recover the rise in input costs, steel prices will get a further fillip, and steel producers stand to improve their bottom-lines further.

All this augers well for your Companys future prospects. Your Company sees enough market opportunities, which can be tapped as soon as financial stability is established on amicably resolving issues with the existing lenders.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION & RESTRUCTURING PACKAGE

Your Company has made strenuous efforts to reach amicable settlement and/or restructuring terms with its existing secured creditors. Members may recall that since last year, some lenders to the Company have desired to reach a Settlement of Dues with the Company, as the restructuring-cum-funding scheme approved under the CDR mechanism could not be put in place on account of certain issues between the lenders/ Company. Your Company has accordingly concluded settlement with 07 lenders so far and is in serious negotiations with the remaining three lenders for reaching amicable terms with them also. Your Company is also negotiating with a few Investors/Lenders for tying up necessary resources for its 6 Hi CR mill and operations thereof, and expects the process to speed up once the remaining lenders also reach settlement with the Company.
