1. Contingent Liabilities :

Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debt:

2. In respect, of 33KV power connection: Prior to August''93 whereafter the company started drawing power on 132 KV line consequent upon enhancement in contract demand from 10.5 MVA to 15.0 MVA, the company used to draw power on 33 KV line. In respect of the power supplied by BSEB through 33 KV line, there were some disputes between the company and BSEB on account of difference between the enhanced tariff claimed by BSEB and the tariff admitted by the company for the period upto 31.03.1994. The total amount under dispute aggregated to Rs. 336.53 lacs against which the company advanced Rs. 272.85 lacs till 31.12.1982 under the Court Order.

According to an agreement between the company and BSEB dated 30.06.1986, a Retired Judge of Patna High Court was appointed as "Arbitrator Sole" to settle the disputes between BSEB and the company and submit his Award. While the arbitration proceedings were in progress, the "Arbitrator Sole" died and the new Arbitrator was to be appointed. However, even though the arbitration proceedings were in progress and unfortunately the "Arbitrator Sole" died, an Award, allegedly signed by the Arbitrator, was filed by BSEB in the Civil Court, Patna for making the same the Rule of the Court. Under the situation, the company has not accepted the award and has challenged its veracity.

3. Other disputes in respect of 33 KV and 132 KV lines : The company had been representing before BSEB for resolving various disputes and after reconciliation of accounts between the company as well as BSEB, the dues payable by the company were determined as Rs. 40.75 Crs as on 31st March, 2008. The said amount included Rs. 27.10 Crs towards AMG/MMG/DPS. The company was eligible for relief of Rs. 27.10 Crs pursuant to Industrial Incentive Policy, 2006 whereunder a sick unit was exempted from payment of AMG/MMG/DPS for a period of five years from the date of sickness and therefore the company''s actual liability was Rs. 13.65 Crs only.

however, at the time of issuing the revised Energy Bill, BSEB wrongly levied DPS of Rs. 6.27 Crs on the ground that since the dues were reconciled as on 31st March, 2008, the company was liable to pay the said amount soon after reconciliation and since the same was not paid, the company was liable to pay DPS thereon. The Company''s argument that DPS cannot be levied in terms of the Tariff Order till the revised Energy Bill was issued was not accepted by BSEB and the company, under duress, had to agree to pay the DPS amount of Rs. 6.27 Crs to avoid disconnection of the electricity line. Aggrieved by the order of BSEB to levy the DPS of Rs. 6.27 Crs even though the correct energy bill after reconciliation had not been issued, the company has approached the Hon''ble Patna High Court.

In the meanwhile, BSEB levied AMG/MMG/DPS of Rs. 27.10 crores in the Company''s energy bill for the past period besides levying DPS of Rs. 15.72 crores on the said dues of Rs. 27.10 crores. The Company, challenging these two levies, filed an Inter-locutory Application (IA) in the earlier writ petition in the Hon''ble Patna High Court as these levies were contrary to the decision of the State government as well as the Revival scheme sanctioned by BIFR. The Hon''ble Patna High Court has now disposed of the case vide its order and judgement dated 12.8.2013 wherein the Court has pronounced the following orders:-

4. The AMG/MMG/DPS of Rs. 27.10 crores and the interest thereon are not leviable against the company.

5. In case of levy of DPS of Rs. 6.27 crores on the reconciled dues of Rs. 13.65 crores, a Committee has been constituted by the Hon''ble Patna High Court, comprising the Industrial Development Commiissioner as Chairman and Secretary, Energy as well as the Chairman, BSEB as its members, to examine the facts related to the stand taken by BSEB and the Company before BIFR with regard to levy of DPS of Rs. 6.27 crores. The committee however, is yet to meet and decide the matter.

On the basis of the documents, evidences and the stand taken by BSEB before the State Level Empowered (APEX) Committee as well as BIFR, the company is confident that it will not be liable to pay the DPS of Rs. 6.27 crs. as this levy was not correct and was contrary to the approval of the State Govt, and the BIFR and therefore the same continues to be treated as contingent liability.

6. The company had entered into a Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) with Central Coalfields Ltd. (CCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd. (CIL) for supply of coal to meet its requirement under a Long Term Coal Linkage issued by the Govt, of India, Ministry of Energy, Deptt. of Coal. The first FSA was executed on 30.1.2004 which was valid for three years. The second FSA was executed on 25.4.2008 and the same was valid for five years which was to expire on 30.4.2013. Pursuant to the provisions of FSA, the company had furnished to CCL, a Security Deposit of Rs. 123.94 lacs by way of Bank Guarantee. The FSA provided for lifting of an Annual Contractual Quantity (ACQ) with a provision for review thereof on expiry of 3 years from the date of FSA. After substantial increase in pit head price of Coal effective from February, 2011 and in view of technical aspects of the Plant''s operation, the company on expiry of three years from the date of FSA requested CCL for review of ACQ which request was followed up subsequently by the Company at the highest level.

The ACQ however, was not reviewed despite explicit provision to that effect in the FSA and CCL unilaterally terminated the same on 30.4.2013 on the ground of lifting of coal quantity which was lower than the ACQ. CCL also levied damage of Rs. 4.96 crores for not lifting the coal as per ACQ even though such damage was not leviable as the ACQ was liable to be reviewed and CCL did not review the same. They subsequently forfeited the security deposit by invoking the Bank Guarantee of Rs. 123.94 Lacs

The Company has filed a writ petition in the Hon''ble Jharkhand High Court against the unilateral and arbitrary action of CCL and considering its strong position, the company is hopeful of refund of the security amount by CCL and accordingly, the amount forfeited by them has not been considered as expenditure. The Company is confident of waiver of the damages also and this is why the same has not been acknowledged as liability.

7. Unexecuted Capital Commitments : Estimated amount of Contracts remaining to be executed on Capital Account and not provided for amount to Rs. 26.70 Lacs (Previous Year Rs. 26.53 Lacs ).

8. Cummulative Dividend on Preference Shares : On approval of the scheme of compromise by the Hon''ble Calcutta High Court, the Preference share capital was reduced by 85%. The Preference shares, after reduction of the share capital have face value of Rs. 15/- each. The said Preference shares carry a coupon rate of 0.1%. The cumulative dividend on such shares with effect from the date of approval of the scheme of compromise i.e. 21st November,2006 till 31st March''14 amounted to Rs. 4.87 lacs.

Guarantees

9. Counter-guarantees given by the Company : Counter Guarantees to Banks in respect of Guarantees given by them amount to Rs.11.60 Lacs (Previous Year Rs.135.34 Lacs ).

13. In view of erosion of its Net Worth , the company was registered with Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) as Sick Company under the provisions of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act,1985. BIFR circulated a Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (DRS) to all the concerned parties for consent, suggestions and objections. On the basis of the approval of the Govt of Bihar and objections and suggestions received from various parties, BIFR sanctioned the scheme in the hearing held on 24.10.2011 and issued the same vide letter dt. 3.2.2012. The Scheme is under implementation.

Due to unsatisfactory performance during 2011-12 caused by downturn in cement industry, the company suffered financial loss and as a result, the statutory dues accumulated. In order to clear the statutory dues, the company has, with the approval of BIFR sold its surplus land at Dehri-on-Sone and the dues pertaining to the Central Excise Duty have been cleared. The Scheme was also modified for Sale of surplus Land as well as issue of Equity Shares on Rights basis. The Modified Scheme was sanctioned by BIFR vide order dated 5.03.2013.

In respect of the power supplied by BSEB through 33 KV line, there were some disputes between the company and BSEB on account of difference between the enhanced tariff claimed by BSEB and the tariff admitted by the company for the period upto 31.03.1994. The total amount under dispute aggregated to Rs. 336.53 lacs against which the company advanced Rs. 272.85 lacs till 31.12.1982 under the Court Order.

According to an agreement between the company and BSEB dated 30.06.1986, a Retired Judge of Patna High Court was appointed as "Arbitrator Sole" to settle the disputes between BSEB and the company and submit his Award. While the arbitration proceedings were in progress, the "Arbitrator Sole" died and the new Arbitrator was to be appointed. However, even though the arbitration proceedings were in progress and unfortunately the "Arbitrator Sole" died, an Award, allegedly signed by the Arbitrator, was filed by BSEB in the Civil Court, Patna for making the same the Rule of the Court.

The Company''s argument that DPS cannot be levied in terms of the Tariff Order till the revised Energy Bill was issued was not accepted by BSEB and the company, under duress, had to agree to pay the DPS amount of Rs. 6.27 Crs to avoid disconnection of the electricity line. Aggrieved by the order of BSEB to levy the DPS of Rs. 6.27 Crs even though the correct energy bill after reconciliation had not been issued, the company has approached the Hon''ble Patna High Court.

While the arbitration proceedings were in progress, the œArbitrator Sole  died and the new Arbitrator was to be appointed. However, even though the arbitration proceedings were in progress and unfortunately the œArbitrator Sole  died, an Award, allegedly signed by the Arbitrator, was filed by BSEB in the Civil Court, Patna for making the same the Rule of the Court. Under the situation, the Company has not accepted the award and has challenged its veracity.

1.2 Other disputes in respect of 33 KV and 132 KV lines : The Company had been representing before BSEB for resolving various disputes and after reconciliation of accounts between the Company as well as BSEB, the dues payable by the Company were determined as Rs. 40.75 Crs as on 31s1 March, 2008. The said amount included Rs. 27.10 Crs towards AMG/MMG/DPS. The Company was eligible for relief of Rs. 27.10 Crs pursuant to Industrial Incentive Policy, 2006 whereunder a sick unit was exempted from payment of AMG/MMG/DPS for a period of five years from the date of sickness and therefore the Company s actual liability was Rs. 13.65 Crs only.

However, at the time of issuing the revised Energy Bill, BSEB wrongly levied DPS of Rs. 6.27 Crs on the ground that since the dues were reconciled as on 31st March, 2008, the Company was liable to pay the said amount soon after reconciliation and since the same was not paid, the Company was liable to pay DPS thereon. The Company s argument that DPS cannot be levied in terms of the Tariff Order till the revised Energy Bill was issued was not accepted by BSEB and the Company, under duress, had to agree to pay the DPS amount of Rs. 6.27 Crs to avoid disconnection of the electricity line. Aggrieved by the order of BSEB to levy the DPS of Rs. 6.27 Crs even though the correct energy bill after reconciliation had not been issued, the Company has approached the Hon ble Patna High Court. Therefore, the Company has not provided for the DPS amount of Rs. 6.27 Crs although the same is being paid as a part of the total dues in monthly installments.

1.3 Unexecuted Capital Commitments : Estimated amount of Contracts remaining to be executed on Capital Account and not provided for amount to Rs. 26.53 Lacs (Previous Year Rs. 135.10 Lacs).

1.4 Cummulative Dividend on Preference Shares : On approval of the scheme of compromise by the Hon ble Calcutta High Court, the Preference share capital was reduced by 85%. The Preference shares, after reduction of the share capital have face value of Rs. 15/- each. The said Preference shares carry a coupon rate of 0.1%. The cumulative dividend on such shares with effect from the date of approval of the scheme of compromise i.e. 21st November, 2006 till 31st March'12 amounted to Rs. 3.55 Lacs.

1.5 Guarantees

Counter-guarantees given by the Company : Counter Guarantees to Banks in respect of Guarantees given by them amount to Rs. 136.84 Lacs (Previous Year Rs.132.24 Lacs ).

The Company at present is contesting a case filed by the Appropriate authority.

4.0 Documents and papers relating to all the immovable properties including land at Banjari are deposited with IFCI Ltd. which assigned its loan earlier granted to the Company to Arcil - Kalyanpur Cements Ltd. Trust.

5.0 In view of erosion of its Net Worth, the Company was registered with Board for Industrial & Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) as Sick Company under the provisions of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act,1985. BIFR circulated a Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (DRS) to all the concerned parties for consent, suggestions and objections. On the basis of the approval of the Govt, of Bihar and objections and suggestions received from various parties, BIFR sanctioned the scheme in the hearing held on 24.10.2011 and issued the same vide letter dt. 3.2.2012. The Scheme is under implementation.

6.0 In view of carry forward losses, in drawing up the Accounts, the Company has not considered the impact of deferred tax liability arising out of timing difference. For the same reason Deferred Tax Assets have been ignored.

7.0 The Company has claimed from BSEB Rs. 2574.25 Lacs (Previous year Rs. 2574.25 Lacs) on account of reduction in maximum demand charges, damages to machinery, etc. and loss of profit due to restricted and erratic power supply for the past periods.
