Directors Report of Hariyana Ship-Breakers Ltd.

Mar 31, 2018

Dear Members,

The Board of Directors are pleased to present the Company''s Thirty Seventh (37th) Annual Report and the Company''s audited financial statements (standalone and consolidated) for the financial year ended March 31, 2018 ("year under review/ FY 2017-18").

Management Discussion and Analysis*

To avoid repetition of information, the Management Discussion and Analysis on performance of the Company is presented below.

FY 2017-18 was a landmark year due to implementation of much awaited Goods and Services Tax ("GST"). While sector experienced limited unfavourable impact early on due to roll out related disruptions, it gradually experienced steady recovery towards the end of the year. Your Company believes that this move has created a singular trading market across the country, creating an organised ecosystem under unified tax regime; expected to benefit both consumers and companies in the long run.

External Environment

1. Macroeconomic Condition

During the Financial Year 2017-18, the global economy continued its broad-based momentum and registered a growth of 3.8%, its strongest level since 2011, as more than half of the world''s economies registered growth. Global manufacturing activity continued to grow on account of favourable financing conditions globally, accommodative policies, rising investor confidence and increase in commodity prices. Global economy was aided by rebound in global trade, investment recovery in advanced economies and continued growth in emerging Asia. Growth in advanced economies was driven by strong domestic demand and improved labour markets while emerging markets witnessed strong consumption and trade momentum. The United States of America (''US'') witnessed a growth of 2.3% on the back of strong external demand, private investment and a weaker dollar. Demand was positively affected by the overhaul of the tax code in 30 years - the corporate income tax rate was slashed to 21% from 35% and taxes for households were also lowered. Strong domestic demand is also a recurring theme in Europe and Asia. Euro area registered a growth of 2.4%, which is almost 0.6% higher than previous year. Policy stimulus and strengthening global demand has contributed to this increase in growth. In Japan, strong domestic demand aided by recovery in consumer spending and investment helped achieve growth of 1.7%. Among the emerging and developing economies, China continued to maintain its growth rate at approximately 7%, aided by policy support and recovery in trade. Growth in India was 6.7% owing to consumption led growth influenced by Government policies and investments. Growth in Middle-East and sub-Saharan Africa was impacted by geo-political/ domestic conflicts. Overall, improved growth in US, Europe and other key regions more than offset the lower growth in other regions and helped sustain growth momentum.

2. Economic Outlook

According to International Monetary Fund (''IMF''), global growth is projected to rise to 3.9% in 2018 and 2019, closer to the long-term growth trend of 4%. The IMF estimates that the growth of more than 1.5% in 2017 in each of the world''s seven biggest economies—the US, China, Germany, Japan, France, the UK and India— will provide an impetus to the world economy to achieve more robust growth in 2018. Advanced economies are expected to maintain their growth momentum in 2018. The US economy is projected by IMF to grow at a faster pace (2.7%) in 2018 aided by fiscal stimulus and policies. The euro area economic recovery has broadened across its member nations and is likely to be aided by rise in capex and consumption. Unemployment rate has reached its lowest level since 2009 and the European Central Bank (''ECB'') is expected to keep interest rates unchanged and gradually scale back on asset purchases with an eye on economic growth. Among other key regions, China''s GDP growth is likely to moderate to 6.5% in 2018 as the policy makers continue their efforts to promote quality growth. Supply side reforms through capacity cuts, rural revitalisation, urbanisation & housing reform and controlled pace of credit growth are likely to determine domestic demand and potential movement in commodity prices. As per IMF, India is expected to grow between 7.0% to 7.5% in Financial Year 2018-19 aided by rural development, infrastructure investment and expansion of manufacturing activity. Outlook for Middle-East and North Africa is gradually improving on the back of higher commodity prices. Structural issues though continue to pose a significant risk to the global growth cycle. While the supportive economic environment, policies and commodity prices are likely to aid growth in the short term, possible financial stress, increased protectionism and rising geopolitical tensions may pose as downside risks to growth. Further, restrictions by the US government on imports and other protectionist measures in Europe & other regions may disrupt global trade and investment adversely affecting global growth and sentiment. Also, high leverage levels among nations makes them financially vulnerable and any tighter financial conditions in US, Europe or China is likely to have adverse spill-over effect on global growth. Outcome of the Brexit negotiations is likely to impact the pace of recovery in UK as well as the Eurozone economy.

The following financial performance and analysis, details of various plants/segments is intended to convey the Management''s perspective on the financial and operating performance of the Company at the end of Financial Year 2017-18. It should be read in conjunction with the Company''s financial statements, the schedules and notes thereto and other information included elsewhere in the Integrated Report. The Company''s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (''Ind AS'') complying with the requirements of the Companies Act, 2013 and guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (''SEBI''). Aspects on industry structure and developments, outlook, risks, internal control systems and their adequacy and material developments in human resources have been covered herein below.

During the financial year 2017-18, ship breaking at Alang Ship Breaking Yard and Trading Unit have performed well. During the year under review, the sales turnover of Ship Breaking & Trading Unit has been increased by almost 29%. The management is of the view that, in the coming years the ship breaking industry will be stable and with expected boost in the economy the requirement of iron and steel will increase which will help the company to move towards its sustained path of growth.

Trading & Investment Unit (Mumbai - HO)

During the year under review, the Mumbai Trading Unit has not carried out any trading activities due to various factors like fluctuations in the exchange rate of US Dollar vis-a-vis Indian Rupee and volatile prices of Iron and steel products and volatile market conditions prevalent in the steel sector throughout the year.

However, in such an uncertain market environment in Iron and Steel industry, the management took cautious approach to the prevalent affairs and avoided any venturous business decision in the interest of the company which resulted in increased profit margin of the unit.

Industry Overview

Alang is witnessing a drastic shift especially towards green ship recycling and it is reimaging its outlook by following all the certification, upgrading infrastructure, safety standards, and being environmentally conscious. Ship recycling in India contributes around 1 to 2% for domestic steel demand and most of dismantled ship scraps are recycled and reused.

The shipbreaking industry at Alang in Gujarat witnessed a 12 per cent drop in business during the just-ended fiscal 2017-18, as a two-year-old ship recycling policy struggled to infuse fresh life in to a sector that is increasingly being challenged by competition from neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh.

In 2017-18, a total of 253 ships weighing over 24.33 lakh Light Displacement Tonnage (LDT) beached at the shores of Alang that houses one of the world''s largest ship recycling yard. This is 12 per cent less compared to the 259 ships and 27.75 lakh LDT that was broken, reveals data from the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB), the state''s nodal agency that controls all shipbreaking activities at the yard in Bhavnagar district.

The business at Alang is nowhere close to the highs witnessed in 2011-12 when a record 414 ships with 38.56 lakh LDT were broken at this yard having about 170 dedicated plots for shipbreaking activity. In the last seven years between 2011 and 2017, the tonnage of ships broken at the yard annually has fallen by 37 per cent.

Not a single new player has entered Alang in the last two years after the new ship-recycling policy took effect. Only 130 of the 154 plots at Alang are currently occupied. Others are still lying empty. Secondly, the demand from construction sector for recycled steel in India is low this year. The new policy has attracted hardly any new players and the banks have also tightened their lending and not giving finance.

Ship-breakers feel that their counterparts in Bangladesh and Pakistan are able to pay more and the new ship-recycling policy introduced by the Gujarat government in January 2016 has not been able to attract new players to the sector. The demand of the ships is more in Bangladesh and Pakistan compared to India. The main source of steel for both of them is end-of-life ships. The ship-breakers in Bangladesh and Pakistan are able to pay USD 20 more for every tonne. Indian ship-breakers are able to offer about $420-430 per tonne in the international market, while they offer about USD 450-460 for the same ship and so the ship owners divert their ships to the neighbouring countries.

The business dynamics of the ship-recycling industry is an interesting paradox. If the global shipping industry is going through a good cycle, the recyclers will become jobless. If the global shipping industry is performing badly, the recyclers will get good business as more ships will be sent to scrapping yards. The current global economic tide is favouring ship-breakers.

The shipping industry is currently in rough waters. The Baltic Dry index, which measures freight rates for commodity bulk carriers, has fallen by around 95 per cent since its peak in 2008. Of the top 12 shipping companies in the world, 11 are posting quarter-on quarter losses. The global shipping industry may lose as much as $10 billion on revenues of $170 billion in 2017, estimate industry experts.

It is these woes of the shipping industry that are building up hopes across the ship-recycling yards of Alang. The world''s largest ship-recycling yard had its dream run in 2011-12 when it broke 415 ships. Alang has a capacity of dismantling 450 ships a year and re-rollable steel capacity of 4.5 million tonnes per annum. From then on, it was a steep fall. The number of ships in 2012-13 fell to 394 and then to 298 in 2013-14. In 2014-15, only 275 ships were scrapped, while that number further fell to 249 ships in 2015-16. Fair weather appears to have returned to Alang with 315 ships having been broken in the previous financial year of 2016-17, according to data from the Ship Recycling Industries Association.

A favourable business cycle has brought cheers to nearly 40,000 workers of the ship-breaking industry. Moreover, another about 1,00,000 people indirectly employed by ancillary industries and related activities such as steel rerolling industry and shops selling everything in a ship from cutlery to ropes to furniture and computers - are also having a good time as the tide turns for the ship-recycling industry. The proposed clean-up legislation could put Alang back in business like never before.

Industry''s initiative/ Structure and Developments

A proposed eco-friendly law may further boost the prospects of ship-breaking industry, as it returns to a buoyant business cycle.

India has begun cleaning up its tarnished ship-breaking industry. Accordingly, the Union government has drafted a law to implement the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships. This convention was adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2009.

A draft legislation to implement the Hong Kong Convention to make the ship-recycling industry safe for its workers and the environment is now undergoing pre-legislative consultations. The Hong Kong convention is yet to come into force as it has not been ratified by 15 countries, representing 40 per cent of the world''s merchant shipping by gross tonnage. Only six countries - Norway, Congo, France, Belgium, Panama and Denmark - have ratified it so far. The proposed Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships Bill, 2016 aims to give effect to the provisions of the Hong Kong Convention. The Bill makes it mandatory for ships to carry out all recycling activities in a safe manner and according to global practices. Any violation in this regard could attract a fine of Rs.10 lakh and a six-month imprisonment.

Since 2015, around Rs 10,000-crore Indian ship-recycling industry has voluntarily started adopting global best practices in dismantling discarded ships. The industry has taken up this clean-and-green initiative even before the legislation was enacted. Some 55 of the 120 working yards have won the Hong Kong Convention''s compliance certificates from global ship classification societies. Another 15 other yards are being audited for certification.

Alang, the world''s largest ship-breaking yard in south Gujarat''s Bhavnagar district, which was set up in 1982 by Gujarat Maritime Board, rapidly grew into one of the major, global, ship-recycling hubs and has been undergoing encouraging changes in the past few years. The new Alang is clean and green. Most of the yards have clean and cemented platforms. Scrapped steel, computers and huge engine parts are properly stored in neat and clean temporary storage facilities. Even half-scrapped ships display red ribbon warning signs to workers on duty. Besides, almost all workers wear helmets, safety jackets and boots. The situation in Alang has been improving for the better in the past two years. Meanwhile, India is upgrading the ship-recycling yards in Alang through a $76-million soft loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency. The upgrade envisages concrete floors to prevent pollutants from entering the sub-soil and improvement of workers'' safety conditions and environmental safeguards.

As Alang gets its clean-up act together, ship-breaking companies are betting big on brightening business prospects. The deserted scrapping beaches are now full with ships. The ship-breaking yards are buzzing with activity as huge vessels are dismantled by scores of workers. Back in Bhavnagar, about 50 km from Alang, ship-recycling companies are busy firming up deals with scrap dealers, steel re-rollers, logistics suppliers and buyers of second-hand electrical items, furniture, computer and kitchen cabinets.

Government Initiatives

Some of the other recent government initiatives in this sector are as follows:

Government of India''s focus on infrastructure and restarting road projects is aiding the boost in demand for steel.

Also, further likely acceleration in rural economy and infrastructure is expected to lead to growth in demand for steel.

The Union Cabinet, Government of India has approved the National Steel Policy (NSP) 2017, as it seeks to create a globally competitive steel industry in India. NSP 2017 targets 300 million tonnes (MT) steel-making capacity and 160 kgs per capita steel consumption by 2030.

The Ministry of Steel is facilitating setting up of an industry driven Steel Research and Technology Mission of India (SRTMI) in association with the public and private sector steel companies to spearhead research and development activities in the iron and steel industry at an initial corpus of Rs 200 crore (US$ 30 million).

Business Overview

The company is in the business of ship breaking, trading and investment activities.

During the financial year 2017-18, witnessed frequent fluctuation in the prices of old ship in the international market and also heavy dollar exchange rate fluctuations. This has adversely affected the sales turnover of the company. However, in such an uncertain market environment in Iron and Steel industry, the management took cautious approach to the prevalent affairs and avoided any venturous business decision in the interest of the company which resulted in increased profit margin of the unit. Moreover, the management hope that the trading unit will show an increase in terms of sales as well as profits in the coming years.

Moreover, the prices in Iron and steel industry are gradually getting stabilized, but foreign currency and fluctuations in value of Indian Rupee vis-a-vis US Dollar remains a concerning area for the company even in the current year. The management is exercising caution in purchase of ships for breaking to optimize the profit margin and minimize the possibilities of losses, if so happens.

Whenever, there is no immediate payment liability against old ship purchased for breaking, the surplus funds available with the Company are given as loan on short term basis. The Company is hopeful that the Company can earn reasonable return on this loans/investments.

As and when surplus funds are available with the Company, the Company lent the same with a view to earn interest and short term and long term capital gains. The Company has entered into partnership in various construction and real estate projects and has acquired a major share in such real estate investments. Such projects are expected to yield good profits to the Company in short to medium term of periods.

Segmental Review

During the financial year 2017-18, ship-breaking & trading unit is expected to grow substantially in coming years. Due to fluctuating and volatile prices of old Ships, Iron and Steel products coupled with fluctuations in value of Indian Rupee vis-a-vis US Dollar during the year, the net profit margins of this segment has been affected. No trading activities were carried out during the year under review. However, the management is of the view that, in the coming years the ship breaking industry will be stable and with expected boost in the economy the requirement of iron and steel will increase which will help the company to move towards its sustained path of growth.

Ship breaking 8t Trading (Bhavnagar):

As has been stated in the out-look, due to fluctuations in the exchange rate of US Dollar vis-a-vis Indian Rupee and steep decrease in prices of Iron and steel products and volatile market conditions. During the year under consideration, total sales were Rs. 15,717.02 Lakhs as against Rs. 12,229.67 Lakhs. Ship-breaking unit at Alang Ship Breaking Yard has outperformed and shown a growth.

Trading & Investments (HO-Mumbai):

During the financial year 2017-18, the company has not performed any trading activities due to fluctuating and volatile prices of old ships, Iron and Steel products. The management is of the view that, in the coming years the iron and steel industry will be stable and with expected boost in the economy the requirement of iron and steel will increase which will help the company to move towards its sustained path of growth.

Risk Management

Effective governance and risk management form the bedrock of a company''s sustained performance. Risk management aims to identify and then manage threats that could severely impact the organization. Generally, this involves reviewing operations of the organization, identifying potential threats to the organization and the likelihood of their occurrence and then taking appropriate actions to address the most likely threats. The objectives are to optimize business performance, minimize adverse impact on the business, protect it from damages, frauds and enhance stakeholder value.

The framework revolves around rigorous implementation of standardized policies and processes and development of strong internal control systems. Your Company has set up internal controls and policies related to financial reporting of transactions and efficient business operations in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Internal reporting systems are in place for effective measurement of various business parameters related to revenue, expenses and reporting, in line with the provisions of the Act.

The Company operates in an interconnected world with stringent regulatory and environmental requirements, increased geopolitical risks and fast-paced technological disruptions that could have a material impact across the value chain of the organisation. The Company''s finished products are mainly re-rollable scrap generated from ship breaking and the price of the same is linked to the market rate for iron and steel. Any fluctuation in the price of the iron and steel affects the profitability of the Company. Thus, the Company is exposed to the risk from the market fluctuations of foreign exchange as well as the fluctuation in the price of iron and steel. The Company''s raw material is old ships which are purchased from the international market on credit ranging up to 180 days to 360 days. The Company is adopting policy of full hedging or covering the foreign exchange requirement. The Company is regularly monitoring the foreign exchange movement and suitable remedial measures are taken as and when felt necessary.

Though the Company is employing such measures, the Company is still exposed to the risk of any heavy foreign exchange fluctuation.

In addition to the above, the Company is also exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the real estate and construction and redeveloping market as the Company has invested some of its surplus funds in partnership firm engaged in such business. The Company, through its risk management process, aims to contain the risks within its risk appetite. There are no risks which in the opinion of the Board threaten the existence of the Company.

Outlook - Way Forward

Your Company expects FY 2018-19 to be better as the after-effects of demonetisation and GST implementation seem to have subsided. As per economic surveys, India continues to be the fastest growing economies in the world, and is expected to continue in FY2018-19 as well. This is supported well by favourable factors such as policy reforms. The Company expects to take advantage of the growth opportunity provided by the Indian economy.

India is expected to become the second largest steel producer in the world by 2018, based on increased capacity addition in anticipation of upcoming demand, and the new steel policy that has been approved by the Union Cabinet in May 2017 is expected to boost India''s steel production. Huge scope for growth is offered by India''s comparatively low per capita steel consumption and the expected rise in consumption due to increased infrastructure construction and the thriving automobile and railways sectors.

India is expected to experience sustained growth in short to medium term driven by growth in steel consuming sectors, revival of rural demand, increased spending on infrastructure amongst others. Further, the conducive government stance towards the steel industry through policies focusing on ''Make in India'' and Smart City Mission reinforces India''s stance as an attractive place for the steel industry. India continues to be an attractive region for steel given its low per capita consumption of approximately 65 kg (world average of 208 kg, China 493 kg).

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE COMPANY''S PERFORMANCE:

During the year under consideration the Company earned total revenue of Rs. 39,021.67 Lakhs as against Rs. 26,972.72 Lakhs in the preceding financial year and Profit after tax of Rs. 742.76 Lakhs as against Rs. 1,414.33 Lacs in the preceding financial year.

The Company has been able to increase its total revenue during the year under review by 44.67%. However, the Company has failed to increase its profit margin of the year due to various factors like fluctuations in the exchange rate of US Dollar vis-a-vis Indian Rupee and steep decrease in prices of iron and steel products and volatile market conditions. Moreover, the decrease in Profit after tax is mainly due to per unit (MTs) prices remaining low during the year as compared to the preceding year. However, inspite of such adverse factors, the Company could achieve sustained sales performance and also could achieve positive profits during the year. The Management is of the view that, in the coming years the Ship Breaking Industry as well as Iron and Steel sector will be stable and with expected boost in the economy the requirement of iron and steel will increase which will help the Company to move towards its sustained path of growth.
