OPERATIONS:

The Company is in the process of setting up Thermal Power Projects at various locations more particularly in Maharashtra, Eastern India and Tamilnadu. The project at Tamilnadu is consisting of 3X660 MW i.e. 1980 MW capacity is being set up by the Wholly Owned Subsidiary SRM Energy Tamilnadu Pvt. Ltd. As such there are no other operations at present and the related expenses incurred during the current period are considered as pre operative expenses pending allocation to the power project.

As informed in the annual report of the last year, the paucity of funds, resulting from the Company not being able to proceed with the Proposed Rights issue, due to reasons beyond its control, has considerably slowed down the progress of the project. In addition, considering the prevailing power industry scenario in the country coupled with the slower pace of growth of the country as a whole, prospective investors have deferred their decisions on investments, which has further compounded the problems.

During the period the Company has received the necessary CRZ clearances for laying of the underground Sea Water Pipelines and overhead Coal Conveyors from the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF) (IA Division) and also from the National Highways Authority of India, Ministry of Transports, Govt, of India.

The Company proposes to induct fihancial / strategic investor into the subsidiary to take care of the equity requirements. Subsequently, significant portion of the debt requirements is proposed to be met through loans from the Chinese Banks Consortium. For meeting the domestic debt requirements, the Company proposes to mandate one of the leading banks/ financial institutions.

OPERATIONS

As such the related expenses incurred during the current period are considered as pre-operative expenses pending allocation to the power project.

The Company has already identified the entire land required for the project and is currently concentrating on acquiring contiguous land. However paucity of funds resulting from the Company not being able to proceed with the proposed Rights Issue has considerably slowed down the land acquisition process and also the Company entering into Coal Trading business.

It is learnt that the Company's application for Coal linkage of 3.2 million tons per annum has been favorably considered by the Ministries concerned and a formal communication in this regard is expected shortly. The linkage is likely to be with Mahanadi Coal Ltd. and the coal will be transported through barges from Orissa to Tamilnadu. Imported and Domestic Coal will be blended in the ratio of 70:30 for usage in the plant. The Company is continuing its efforts to get Chinese Bank funding for major portion of the debt requirements of the project.

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE OF THE COMPANY

The Company had filed Draft Letter of Offer to the Security Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its proposed right issue on August 17, 2010.

However in the interim, SEBI, while dealing with certain entities in case of market manipulation by issue of GDRs, had vide its ex-parte order No.WTM/PS/ISD/02/2011 dated September 21, 2011, which was later confirmed vide order dated December 30, 2011, directed a group Company, Cals Refineries Ltd. (Cals) not to issue equity shares or any other instruments convertible into equity shares or alter capital structure in any manner till further directions in this regard. Subsequently, SEBI vide its letter No. CFD/DIL/ISSUES/ SP/RG/OW/3382/2012 dated February 7, 2012 informed our Merchant Banker that, as Cals, a group Company has been directed not to issue any equity shares or alter their capital structure in any manner till further directions in this regard, the Company is not satisfying the eligibility criteria as provided in Regulation 4(2)(a) and 4(2)(b) of the ICDR regulations and hence is not eligible to proceed with the Rights Issue till directions against Cals are in force.

The Company had filed an appeal to SAT against the aforesaid direction of SEBI but the Company's appeal has been dismissed by SAT In view of this, the Company now proposes to proceed with the Rights Issue as and when Cals is exonerated from the charges.
