DIVIDEND:

During the year under review, your Directors are unable to recommend any dividend on the Equity Capital of the Company due to Losses.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES:

During the year under review, the performance of the subsidiaries viz., Suryachakra Global Enviro Power Limited, South Asian Agro Industries Limited, M.S.M. Energy Limited and Sri Panchajanya Power Private Limited, which operate biomass based power plants at Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra has not been satisfactory due to non-availability of quality raw materials at reasonable rates. The prices of biomass like rice husk, cotton stalk etc., have been steeply increased which resulted into high cost of production raising questions about their commercial viability. The company therefore had to willy-nilly took to alternatives like Napier grass for their raw material requirement and have already finalized tie-up arrangements with some napier grass supplying companies on lease/contract farming for energy plantation in Chattisgarh and Maharashtra which was more or less completed. Thus with this continuous feed supply at competitive price in place, the subsidiaries are expected to improve their performance in near future.

Suryachakra Global Enviro Power Limited (SGEPL):

The unit has been shut down from August 2011. The plant has generated 14,19,000 units and exported 11,84,800 units during 2011-12.

Raw material was not available on continuous basis and in sufficient quantities. The prices of raw materials have also shot up to unreasonably high level. In view of this, it is not considered economical to run the plant. Even if it is done it is likely to incur heavy operational losses and lead to a perennial shortage of sufficient working capital. As a result the company entered into an agreement with M/s. Indiabulls who are the term loan providers for the project to ease the financial burden by restructuring the loans. As per the terms, the existing term loan would to be rescheduled by them who would also fully meet the project's working capital requirement. Accordingly M/s Indiabulls has sanctioned a fresh term loan of Rs. 50.00 Crores after closing the existing term loan of Rs.35.00 Crores along with accumulated interest thereon. AboutRs.9.50 Cr. has been made available as working capital to the unit in question.

The tariff during 2010-11 was a measly amount of Rs.4.03/Kwh and Rs.4.23/Kwh in 2011-12. Against that as per CSERC tariff orders dated 28.12.2011 and 27.03.2012 the tariff was increased to Rs.5.10 / Kwh (Rs.1.77 Rs.3.33) for the year 2012-13 (effective from 01.04.2012). In view of the availability of sufficient working capital coupled with the hike in rate of tariff, the unit is expected to be a profitable outfit soon.

With these initiatives to restart the plant, order was placed with M/s Sumax Power and Energy Systems Private Limited (SPESPL) for re-commissioning of the plant. Pre-commissioning checks commenced in July 2012 and work is in progress. The company has plans to complete all the connected activities early and take the unit into service by last week of September, 2012.

South Asian Agro Industries Limited

The unit was shut down from 29.03.2011 due to blasting of "Y" & "B" Phase CTs and consequential damage to Feeder Differential Protection Relay. The lead time for supply of these items is about 5 to 6 months.

As the problems plaguing the company are analogues to those afflicting SGEPL, identified steps have been initiated here too with M/s. Indiabulls, the loan provider for this project as the operating agency.

Accordingly M/s. Indiabulls has sanctioned a fresh term loan of Rs.50.00 Cr. and closed the existing term loan of Rs.35.00 Crores along with accumulated interest thereon. An amount of Rs.9.50 Cr. has been made available as working capital along with the availability of funds and the similar increase in the rate of tariff, the company is likely to be rehabilitated soon. The re-commissioning activities have been completed in March 2012. The unit has generated 42,99,779 units till June 2012. The unit is now running satisfactorily.

MSM Energy limited

During the year the 10MW Biomass based power plant at Parbhani has generated 41,66,800 units. However since July 2011 the steep increase in raw material costs and non-availability of the same on a continuous basis had adversely affected the unit and incurred operational losses. The Tariff applicable was Rs.4.98/kwh was not found adequate for the unit's viability. Since MERC has increased the tarrif to Rs.5.41/ kwh for the year 2012-13 from 30.03.2012, it is expected that the plant can be operated profitably. Accordingly, it is proposed to revive the plant, generate and export power to the gridat the earliest. An order was placed on M/s. Jasmine Power Engineering Private Limited (JPEPL) for re-commissioning of the plant. M/s. JPEPL has already started pre-commissioning checks during August 2012 and work is in progress. It has plans to complete all the pre-commissioning activities and take the unit into service by last week of September 2012.

Another 10MW biomass based power plant is under construction at Kholapur Village, Amravati District, Maharashtra. The plant is expected to commence operations during the year 2012-13.

The company has approached for corporate debt restructuring (CDR Package) and it was admitted by central CDR Cell in its meeting held in December 2011. The lenders were asked to prepare a suitable package. Accordingly IDBI the consortium leader after getting a TEV Report from a APITCO has prepared a package which consists of restructuring the existing limits additional funding, interest concessions and the said package is being submitted to EGCDR Cell, Mumbai for taking a decision. It is expected that a suitable decision in this regard will be taken in the meeting to be held in the month of September 2012.

Sri Panchajanya Power Private Limited

During the year the 10MW Biomass based power plant at Hingoli has generated 28,27,400 units. For the identical reasons as described under the MSM Energy Limited, the Company's operations stopped from July 2011. Hence the unit incurred operational losses. With the recent hike in Tariff rate from Rs.4.98/KWH to Rs. 5.41/Per KWH with effect from 30.03.2012 the operational viability has been found to have affordable and has been decided to revive the plant, generate and export power to the grid.

M/s. Jasmine Power Engineering Private Limited (JPEPL) has been pressed into service for re-commissioning of the plant and the company is expected to take the unit into service by last week of September 2012.

The company approached Syndicate Bank for restructuring and additional funding for cultivation of napier grass. The bank was approached for issue of holding on operations to enable the company to re-start operations. After series of meetings the bank has agreed to issue holding on operations with a condition to recover 5% of the monthly bill for three months and 10% of the bill for next three months and review the position thereafter. The permission in writing is expected shortly. Bank will take up restructuring of the account after observing the operations for six months.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES:

During the year under review, the performance of the subsidiaries viz., Suryachakra Global Enviro Power Limited, South Asian Agro Industries Limited, M.S.M. Energy Limited and Sri Panchajanya Power Private Limited, which operate biomass based power plants at Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra has been severely affected due to non-availability of quality raw material at reasonable rates. The prices of biomass like rice husk, cotton stalk etc., have been steeply rising thereby resulting into high cost of production.

As a long term strategy, the group has proposed to enter into buy-back agreements with some companies in Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra, which will endeavor to continuous supply of Napier grass catering to about 50% of total requirement of the plants. The cost of Napier grass is much cheaper than other conventional biomass raw material, besides having higher Gross Calorific Value (GCV). The Napier grass supplying companies have finalized the land required for taking on lease / contract farming for energy plantation in Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra. With this continuous feed supply at competitive price, the subsidiaries are expected to improve their performance in the forthcoming years.

1) Suryachakra Global Enviro Power Limited:

During the year, the 9.8 MW plant at Madwa village, Champa–Janjgir District, Chhattisgarh had generated 33.166 million units achieving a PLF of 38.63%. The generation was low due to the scarcity of quality biomass fuel. As most of the paddy is grown as single crop, husk was available for 6 to 7 months of the year. Further, the evacuation line at 33 KV was connected to grid at about 20 KM from the plant. Because of the long transmission line, the plant operation was effected due to line faults during rainy season. The transmission line losses were approximately 5% of the generation.

During the year under review, the Company had earned an amount of Rs.28.52 million from 42950 CERS for the period from October 2008 to December 2009 and Rs.20.99 million from 31604 CERs for the period from January 2010 to March 2011.

2) South Asian Agro Industries Limited:

During the year, the 9.8 MW plant at Khajuri village, Baloda Bazar, Raipur District, Chhattisgarh has generated 22.28 million units and achieved a PLF of 25.96%. The plant faced the problem of fuel shortage during rainy season as the rice husk is the main biomass fuel which is available only during milling season lasting for 4 to 5 months in a year since paddy is grown as a single crop in major cultivation acreage.

During the year under review, the Company had earned an amount of Rs.21.16 million from 31861 CERS for the period from January 2009 to December 2009 and Rs.15.29 million from 23031 CERs for the period from January 2010 to March 2011.

3) M.S.M. Energy Limited:

The 10 MW biomass based power plant at Parbhani, Maharashtra was commissioned and synchronized with the grid of MSEDCL on 15th November, 2010. Total generation during the year was 5.23 million units. The generation was low during the year due to scarcity and high price of quality biomass fuel. Frequent grid interruptions have also contributed for low generation.

Another 10 MW plant is under construction at Kholapur Village, Amravati District, Maharashtra. The plant is expected to commence operations during the year 2011-12.

4) Sri Panchajanya Power Private Limited:

The 10 MW power plant at Limbala MIDC, Hingoli, Maharashtra was commissioned and synchronized with the grid of MSEDCL on 5th September, 2010. During the year, the total generation of the plant was 9.94 million units. The generation was low during the year due to scarcity of quality biomass fuel and high price. Frequent grid interruptions have also contributed for low generation.

The application for CDM Registration filed with United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) for CERs got registration on 13th January, 2011 and date of Registration action was 4th April, 2011. Crediting period is 01.04.2011 to 31.03.2018.

Other subsidiaries:

Your company had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Govt. of Chhattisgarh in February 2008 and subsequently executed the implementation agreement in May 2010 for setting up of coal based thermal power plant in the state of Chhattisgarh. The company has transferred the project under development to Suryachakra Energy (Chhattisgarh) Private Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of your company for a consideration of Rs.356.40 million being the carrying value of the assets in the project during the last quarter of the year.

(Auditors Report on consolidated accounts).

Board Explanation

Adequate disclosure was made in Note 3 of Schedule 21 (Notes to the Accounts) in this regard. The Company has taken up the matter with the Andaman & Nicobar Administration and believes that the amounts billed including interest thereon are recoverable based on the interpretation that can be inferred from the formulae contained in the PPA.

After continuous and unstinted efforts, the A & N Administration has agreed to pay monthly tariff invoices from April 2011 on the provisional completed cost of the project of Rs. 75.60 crores instead of the earlier provisional completed cost of Rs. 63.14 crores. The company is hopeful of getting further increase in this.

The delay was due to the tight liquidity conditions faced by the Company and steps would be taken by the management to ensure non-recurrence of such events.

The adequate internal audit team is already in place. However, the team will be further strengthened suitably.

The subsidiaries viz., Suryachakra Global Enviro Power Ltd., and South Asian Agro Industries Ltd., have recognized the income from sale of CERs during the year.The Project Design Documents (PDDs) were prepared for above 2 projects and received the Host Country Approval.

EXPLANATION FOR THE QUALIFICATION MADE BY AUDITORS IN THEIR REPORT:

The Auditors in para 4 (vi) of their Report stated that pending the final agreement with the A & N Administration, they were unable to comment on the extent of ultimate recoverability of the amounts due from the A&N Administration.

Adequate disclosure was made in Note 2 of Schedule 21 (Notes to the Accounts) in this regard. The Company believes that the amounts billed including interest thereon are recoverable from the A & N Administration based on the interpretation that can be inferred from the formulae contained in the Power Purchase Agreement. The Company filed a petition with the Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission (JERC) in October 2009 claiming the long pending dues for the unresolved issues.

On March 3, 2010 the A&N Administration after making a detailed analysis of the case and the unresolved issues, has determined that the matter being highly technical, these disputes cannot be resolved on long term basis until and unless the completed project cost is finalized and requested the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) to re-examine the complete cost document of the Company to proceed further in the matter.

With regard to the remarks made by the Auditors on the delay in repayment of dues to SREI Equipment Finance Pvt. Ltd., and payment of Income Tax and Sales Tax etc., it may be stated that the delay was due to the tight liquidity conditions faced by the Company and that steps would be taken by the management to ensure non-recurrence of such events in future.
