The Board noted that there were following qualifications in the Auditor’s Report for the Standalone and Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended March 31, 2018:

(1) Standalone Financial Statements :

"The accompanying financial statement as at March 31, 2018, the Company has investment (including advance of Rs.258 Lakhs) amounting to Rs.3,577 Lakhs made in an overseas subsidiary. Based on the latest available unaudited standalone financial statements of the aforesaid subsidiary as at March 31, 2018, the net worth of the subsidiary is fully eroded and the Company may have potential obligation to share further liabilities of the said subsidiary, which is presently under negotiation and hence undeterminable. Based on the reasons fully explained in the aforesaid note, the management is of the view that no provision is required for diminution in the value of such investment/ potential obligation, as the Company is evaluating options to restore the carrying value of the investment. However in the absence of sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to comment on the carrying value of such investment, potential obligation and any other consequential impacts, if any, that may be required in this regard in the Standalone Ind AS financial statement"

(2) Consolidated Financial Statements :

"The accompanying consolidated Ind AS financial statements include aggregate assets of Rs.769 Lakhs, aggregate revenues (including other income) of Rs.2,625 Lakhs and net cash inflows amounting to Rs.42 Lakhs of an overseas subsidiary, consolidated based on its unaudited financial statements.

The Company has investment amounting to Rs. 33.19 Crores made in an overseas subsidiary. Based on the unaudited financial statements of the aforesaid subsidiary as on March 31, 2017, the net worth of the subsidiary is fully eroded and the Company may have potential obligation to share further liabilities of the said subsidiary, which is presently under negotiation and hence undeterminable. Based on the reasons fully explained in the aforesaid note, the management is of the view that no provision is required for diminution in the value of such investment/ potential obligation, as the Company is evaluating options to restore the carrying value of the investment.

DIVIDEND :

Due to losses incurred by the Company, your Directors express their inability to recommend any dividend to the Shareholders for the year.

OVERVIEW :

The operations of your Company are coming on track after an unprecedented crisis as fallout of the Satyam episode. At the direction of the Company Law Board (CLB), four nominees of Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Limited (IL&FS), a new promoter of your Company, are inducted on the Board of your Company. The reconstituted Board took steps to restore confidence of all stakeholders and to rehabilitate the operations of the Company. For operational convenience as well as to focus on critical areas, Executive Committee and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company had been re-constituted. Steps had been taken to stabilize and revive operations, build up employee morale as well as to co-operate with various Inspection Agencies to provide requisite details for investigation process undertaken by them.

Pursuant to the foregoing, it is expected that your Company would make a turnaround in the near term.

CAPITAL :

(1) Induction of New Investor :

Your Company was able to induct the Saudi BinLadin Group (SBG) of Saudi Arabia as a Strategic Partner in the Shareholders’ consortium. SBG Projects Investments Limited, a part of SBG, has executed a Shareholders’ Agreement on June 19, 2010 for investment of 20% in the equity share capital of your Company i.e. Rs. 301.92 crores. SBG and IL&FS are in the process of making an Open Offer to acquire an additional 20% from the market as per SEBI regulations. The induction of SBG as a Strategic Partner would be a very positive development, highlighting a closer working relationship between India and Saudi Arabia in the area of construction and infrastructure.

SBG is one of the largest contractor, developer and diversified conglomerate having headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The sectors of the SBG Group mandated areas include Roads, Railways, Tunnels, Buildings, Airports and Townships. Over the years, the Group has built strong technological credentials in various areas of the EPC business with execution of many prestigious projects in the region. The Group has a work force of around 90,000 employees, of which 6,800 are professional engineers in various disciplines. The underlying strategy of SBG is to provide customers design and build options by adopting the most advanced management, engineering and procurement systems resulting in cutting edge technological solutions. SBG is seeking to augment its portfolio and execution capacity in Saudi Arabia.

The partnership decision has been made by SBG after a thorough operational due diligence of the Company and have found the competencies and skill sets of your Company as satisfactory and scalable. From a SBG perspective, your Company would provide an ideal platform for developing a world class professionally managed EPC Company in India.

The partnership of the SBG in your Company would envisage creation of a strong amalgam of technological and financial resource pools with a diversified presence across the entire infrastructure and contracting space. This would enable your Company rebuild its strengths in the EPC space through a steady flow of contracts, agglomeration of execution capacity, access to the Indian infrastructure space and servicing of large value national and international projects. IL&FS and SBG have agreed to work closely and provide business support to your Company over a period of time. SBG would have access to opportunities in the booming Indian infrastructure space and simultaneously it would leverage upon the talent pool of your Company for strengthening its international capabilities. This partnership would enable SBG in project development skills as well as financial structuring capabilities in India.

Thus, with the induction of SBG, your Company would be well poised to systematically exploit niche segments of the EPC business. The Company is expected to be in a position to diversify its geographical and sectoral mix and introduce newer and more efficient processes and solutions to its customers. This would result in improved delivery times, cost savings and other better quality of products.

(2) Capital through CDR Package :

The CDR Lenders have sanctioned a Corporate Debt Restructuring Scheme whereby the CDR Lenders have agreed to convert the Secured Loan of around Rs. 354.27

Crore into Equity and Preference Capital of the Company. This would result in reducing the debt burden and increase in Networth of your Company.

REVIVAL OF OPERATIONS :

After induction of IL&FS as the new Promoter of the Company, the Company with the help of Government Nominees on the Board of your Company, has taken following steps as a part of revival of business operations :



- Corporate Debt Restructuring Package (CDR)

- Investments in BOT Projects

- One Time Settlement with Banks

- Recovery of Inter Corporate Deposits

- Review of HR and Appointment of Senior Executives

- Audit and Compliance Framework

(1) Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Package :

Subsequently, series of meetings and discussions were held with Empowered Group of CDR Cell for approval of the revised CDR package. As a result, the Letter of Approval was issued by CDR Cell on June 26, 2010 sanctioning the revised CDR package to the Company.

(2) BOT Investments :

The status in respect of various BOT Investments have been reviewed and accordingly, comprehensive steps were taken to start the process of resolving issues with JV Partners amicably.

Your Company has created a Trust and domiciled its investments at a fair value of Rs. 575 Crores in the Trust pursuant to the terms and conditions of the CDR package.

(3) One Time Settlement with Banks :

As a part of rehabilitation and revival process, your Company reviewed the status of discussion with banks regarding settlement of dues and CDR Package. The discussion progressed well and few non-CDR bankers agreed for One Time Settlements in respect of outstanding dues. Negotiation with other banks is in progress and amicable settlement is expected in the near term.

(4) Recovery of Inter Corporate Deposits (ICDs) :

Your Company had placed ICDs of an aggregate amount of Rs 391.64 crores in thirteen Companies. These Companies used the funds for onward lending to other Private Limited Companies, who in turn transferred these funds to Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (currently named as Mahindra Satyam). Your Company has taken up the matter with Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India as well as communicated to Mahindra Satyam for recovery of ICDs amount.

(5) Review of HR and Appointment of Senior Executives :

You would recall that due to crisis in the previous year, attrition rate of your Company was significant compared to industry standards. This had affected the morale of employees at all levels. Under the circumstances, the Board had taken steps to build up morale and to infuse confidence in employees by suitable measures including framework for retention bonus,

ESOP schemes and a transparent performance appraisal process.

With the object of strengthening operations of the Company, senior executives having proven track record have been recruited. Mr. Vimal Kaushik had been appointed as Managing Director of the Company. He had been associated with a reputed Engineering Company for 37 years and had handled operations both in India and abroad. Several other key positions have been filled in to strengthen the organization structure and to gear up to meet the challenges before the Company. Senior Executives of IL&FS Group have been appointed as Officers on Special Duty to handle critical areas like Finance & Accounts and Banking Relations.

(6) Audit and Compliance Framework :

With the object of ensuring compliance with policies, procedures as well as various statutory provisions and obligations which your Company were subjected to, Audit and Compliance Framework of the Company was strengthened by the appointment of independent Chartered Accountants firm as Internal Auditors of the Company in addition to the in-house Internal Audit team. The In-house Audit team was mandated to focus on project and other operational areas whereas the External Internal Auditors would audit all corporate activities and take overview of ongoing projects and operations of the Company.

FUTURE OUTLOOK :

With the various steps taken by the Management, the Board and the Promoters and with the support of the Company Law Board and Government Nominee Directors, the Company is in the process of restoring normalcy in operations. The Management has taken steps with regard to completion of the current projects under execution in an orderly manner. New mandates have been provided by IL&FS, the new Promoters in Transportation Sector.

With the induction of SBG, the Company would be able to tap the Market for higher value added Projects both in India as well as in the Middle East.
