It is proposed to re-appoint the retiring auditors for a period of 4 years in view of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 6 (3) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014. A requisite consent and certificate as prescribed under second and third proviso of Section 139(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") read with Section 141 of the Act together with the rules prescribed thereunder and furnished by the retiring auditors have already been received by the Company.

The Auditors'' report and notes to the financial statements are self explanatory and do not call for any further comments except on the qualifications highlighted by the auditors in their Auditor Report. The explanations to the auditors'' qualification are given below:

1. Explanations to para 4(i) to the Auditors Report :The Results of the year in respect of entities listed In Note 32 have been affected by liquidity crunch. However, these entities have a healthy order book position and considering the current business plans of these entities, the management is of the view that there is no permanent diminution in value of its investments in these companies. Further, there is a continuous process of assessment of the carrying value and the business plans of all entities in which the company has significant investments and in the event the management decides to shelve, alter or reorganize its plans in these entities, the diminution in value if any, will be reckoned in the Revenue.

2. Explanations to paral(ii) of the annexure to the Auditors Report: The Company has a practice of verifying all its fixed assets but due to resource constraints was not able to complete the said verification at all locations during the year. This has been taken up and completed subsequent to the year-end and no material discrepancy has been noted as compared to the books. The earlier practice of completion of verification of fixed assets and reconciliation with books before the end of the year will be ensured in future.

3. Explanations to para 8 of the annexure to the Auditors Report: With regard to undisputed statutory dues remaining unpaid and the defaults in repayment of dues to banks/financial institution highlighted in the Auditors'' Report, this arose mainly due to the liquidity crunch faced by the Company. Once the CDR is approved, there would be sufficient liquidity to ensure complete payment of such dues outstanding as well as prompt payment of the same in future.

4. Explanations to para 12 of the annexure to the Auditors Report : The term loan availed of Rs.30 Crores is also towards reimbursement of expenditure already incurred and therefore, the utilization of the term loan was in accordance with terms governing the same.

5. Explanations to para 13 of the annexure to the Auditors Report: The mismatch is due to significant fall in the collection pertaining to long term projects-retention and running receivables during 2013-14. Further there is an increase in the short term bank borrowing position as on 31.03.2014 contributed for this mismatch of current and non-current utilisation. The company has not made any new investment during the year under review.

As regards other matters which Auditors have drawn attention to in their report:

a. For reasons explained in this Report, the Company had decided to approach the banks through the corporate debt restructuring (CDR) process for restructuring of its debt. Once, the CDR is approved, there would be sufficient liquidity to enable the Company meet its obligations as and when it falls due and undertake to complete the stalled projects. The spin-off effect will be that all debts highlighted in Note 30(ii) and 30(iii) will be progressively realized since the customers would then become confident of the deliverables. The encashment of Bank guarantees (including performance guarantees) by certain customers has not been followed by cancellation of the orders In the circumstances, the Company remains confident that the continuous steps / engagement with the customers will result in realization of dues highlighted.

b. Circularization of balances of Debtors/Vendors is an annual exercise which the Company undertakes. In the exceptional circumstances prevailing, this exercise was started subsequent to the year-end. The company remains confident that the completion of this exercise would not have a material effect on the results of the year.

Pursuant to the provisions under Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 the Company is required to get the cost accounting records of the Company audited by a Cost Auditor for the financial year 2014-15 onwards audited by a Cost Auditor. In view of the above, M/s N. K. Jain And Associates, Cost Accountants, who were also the Cost Auditors of the Company for the financial year 2013-14, were appointed as the Cost Auditor of the Company for the financial year 2014-15 by the Board of Directors of the Company.

2. BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

During the year under review, the growth of the Infrastructure Sector particularly the power sector remained slow. The power sector continued to be plagued with issues of resource shortage, poor State Electricity Board fnances and land allocation & environmental clearances leading to non-fnalization of new orders. Thus lesser number of power projects were commissioned during the year leading to subdued order infows for EPC companies.

In such challenging times, your Company continued to strive for orders on the back of its leadership position and strong track record in the material handling space. In the fnancial year 2012-13, your company improved its order infow by 19% to Rs. 2,550 crore compared to Rs. 2,150 crore in the previous year. Most of the orders continued to be repeat orders which is testament to the trust our clients put in us. Further, diversifcation of the business in International market has been a signifcant step for your Company as a major boost came from export markets wherein your Company secured orders to the tune of Rs. 500 crore. The Company continues to look to diversify its oferings in Material Handling, Ash Handling, BoP, Waste Heat Recovery and Solar Power Projects.

However, as power remains the cornerstone of the country''s growth, the government has initiated several reforms during the year, which would change the pace of progress for the power sector going forward and revive the investment cycle. The macroeconomic indicators have also started looking up and we see a positive year ahead.

On the fnancial front, your Company achieved a turnover of Rs. 2,610.45 crore in the fnancial year 2012-13 as compared to Rs. 2,529.66 crore in the fnancial year 2011-12 and the proft after tax for fnancial year 2012-13 is Rs. 28.86 crore in comparison to Rs. 124.93 crore during the fnancial year 2011-12. The proftability of your Company has been impacted due to various factors including exceptionally high fnance cost.
