4. Going Concern
The years 2011-2012 to 2014-2015 have been challenging for the global
solar cell manufacturers as well as the Indian manufacturers; which on
the one hand witnessed steep fall in solar cell prices and on the other
hand market flooded with products from Chinese and Taiwanese
manufacturers which led to the growth of large Chinese manufacturers.
The Governments in India and other countries are eager to increase the
overall share of solar energy by concurrently improving infrastructural
conditions, especially through solar parks and schemes like
'development of solar cities', energy efficient green buildings',
generation-based incentives, and subsidies and promotion for solar PV
devices that are also encouraging PV installation. Recently, in India,
it was made mandatory to have domestic content requirement for cell and
module for crystalline silicon based plant in all the projects granted
under JNNSM Phase1, batch II. Individual states in India, are also
adopting policies and programs to promote the expansion of solar power.
Further, the Indian Government is considering safeguarding its own
industry by some regulation such as anti-dumping for Solar Cells.
In the present situation, the Company is now considering sustainable
business model with the various options to restructure the capital base
including but not limited to approaching the lender banks for
arbitraging the partial debt with equity, concessions and / or waiver
in the interest along with haircuts in certain debt portion with an
objective to bring it at a serviceable level. Considering the changed
and new developments taking place in the Solar Industry and as detailed
in the management discussion analysis, the financial statements have
been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern.

cumulative blocks of five years, starting from the commencement of
production. In case the unit does not achieve positive Net Foreign

Photovoltaic unit is situated in a sector specific notified Special
Economic Zone entitled for tax exemption under section 10AAof Income
Tax Act, no deferred tax has been recognized for the year._
2 Contingent liabilities not provided for :
(a) The Company for its Optical Disc's manufacturing unit, has imported
various Capital Goods under the Export Promotion Capital goods Scheme
(EPCG), of the Government of India, through various licenses, at
confessional rates of Custom Duty on an undertaking to fulfill
quantified exports within a period of eight years from the date of
respective licenses. The custom Duties so saved amounts to Rs.
253856218/- and the corresponding Export obligation as on 31 st March
12 to be fulfilled is Rs. 1917084993/-. If the said Export is not made
within the stipulated time period; the company is required to pay the
said saved Custom Duty together with interest @ 15% p.a.
The Company's Solar Photovoltaic Cells manufacturing unit is located in
self owned sector specific Special Economic Zone. According to the SEZ
Act, the units should have positive Net Foreign Exchange Earning (NFE),
which shall be calculated as per applicable rules in cumulative blocks
of five years, starting from the commencement of production. In case
the unit does not achieve positive Net Foreign Exchange, the SEZ shall
be subject to penalty, that may be imposed by the adjudicating
authority.
*Note:- The Company falls under 1 st Schedule to Central Excise Tariff
Act, 1985 (5 of 1985). The unit was set up after 31 - 07-2001 and hence
eligible for Excise Refund benefit envisaged in Notification
No:39/2001-CE dated 31-07-2001 as amended. The Company also duly
applied to Central Excise Department for availing benefit under the
said notification and the Department approved the same. The Company
commenced commercial production of its first phase on 04-04- 2005 with
five manufacturing lines and doubled its capacity in January 2007 by
adding five more manufacturing lines. The Department took the stand
that the eligibility is only for the first phase and will not be
applicable for the expansion phase. The Company was duly in receipt of
Excise Refund on the first five lines till the financial year
2007-2008, however from financial year 2008-2009 onwards the Department
rejected the Excise Refund claim even for the first five lines.
The company, while taking stand that the excise benefit should be made
available for the second phase as well, provided for excise refund on
the first phase on proportionate basis. Currently the matter is pending
with CESTAT (Ahmedabad). The Company had recognised Excise Refund
amount of Rs.6341853/- in the year 2008-2009 and Rs.8667688/- in the
year 2009-2010 on this account, of which the company had received Rs.
11431016/- as excise refund from the Central Excise Department and Rs.
1642522/- were declared as non refundable by the Central Excise
Department. Thus for the balance amount of excise refund recognised
during the year 2009-2010 of Rs. 1936003/- will not materialise if the
appeal is not disposed of in favour ofthe company and the same amount
continues for the current financial year also.
(d) Claims against the Company not Acknowledged as Debts as on 31 st
March 2012 amounting to Rs. Nil.
The Company had entered into an arrangement with Euro Ceramics Ltd in
2006-2007, one of its group companies having its factory adjacent to
the company's factory at Bhachau, whereby Euro Ceramics Ltd recovered
one-fifth of the capital investment cost incurred on its Power Plant
Machinery and Building for sharing of power generated by the Power
Plant. Euro Ceramics Ltd also recovers the operating expenses of
running the Power Plant from the company on a monthly basis based on
actual units of power consumed by the company. The same is also
disclosed (in note 22) under related party transactions.
(e) During the year 2011 -2012, the Company has incurred significant
losses which have resulted in erosion of its net worth. The severe
fall in the prices of Solar Photovoltaic cells globally on account of
reduced demand resulted the company leaving with large inventory at
reduced prices, leading to necessity for booking losses and thereby
depleting working capital. As a result, the Company has been unable to
utilize its capacity and the cost of production of solar cells
continues to be higherthan the prevailing market prices.'
In the course of time there became default in the repayment obligations
of banks and the relevant loan accounts - Term Loans, Cash Credit
Accounts and devolvement of letters of credit. -
Consequently the Company has received summons/notice from the office of
Debt Recovery Tribunal-ll, Ahmedabad Gujarat in response of the
application filed by State Bank of India Baroda Gujarat vide O.A. No.
56/2012 for the recovery of their loan under Section 19 of the Recovery
of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993.
The Company had received an order of temporary injunction under Section
19 of the Recovery of debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions
Act, 1993 read with rule 18 of the Debts Recovery Tribunal (Procedure)
Rule, 1993. As perthe order the Company was restrained from
transferring, alienating, selling, removing, conveying or parting with
the possession or dealing with in any manner with the hypothecated &
mortgaged properties, and the matter was in the process of hearings at
the Debts Recovery Tribunal-ll, Ahmedabad. Subsequently, vide order
dated June 22, 2012 the initial order was modified by the honorable
tribunal for allowing continuance of business activities.
(f) Going Concern
It has been a challenging year for the global solar cell manufacturers
as well as the Indian manufacturers; which on the one hand witnessed
steep fall in solar cell prices and on the other hand market flooded
with products from Chinese and Taiwanese manufacturers which led to the
growth of large Chinese manufacturers.
The Governments in India and other countries are eager to increase the
overall share of solar energy by concurrently improving infrastructural
conditions, especially through solar parks and schemes like
'development of solar cities', energy efficient green buildings',
generation-based incentives, and subsidies and promotion for solar PV
devices that are also encouraging PV installation. Recently, in India,
it was made mandatory to have domestic content requirement for cell and
module for crystalline silicon based plant in all the projects granted
under JNNSM Phasel, batch II. Individual states in India, are also
adopting policies and programs to promote the expansion of solar power.
Further, the Indian Government is considering safeguarding its own
industry by some regulation such as anti-dumping for Solar Cells.
In the present situation, the Company is now considering sustainable
business model with the various options to restructure the capital base
including but not limited to approaching the lender banks for
arbitraging the partial debt with equity, concessions and / or waiver
in the interest along with haircuts in certain debt portion with an
objective to bring it at a serviceable level. The Company as a measure
of abundant caution is also approaching the BIFR to meet any
eventuality which may arise due to non acceptance of the Restructure
and Revival Program by the Banks. Considering the changed and new
developments taking place in the Solar Industry and as detailed in the
management discussion analysis, the financial statements have been
prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern.
