Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account (Net of advances) and not provided for Rs.340.63 lakhs (31 March 2016: Rs 309.52 lakhs )

Though the Company had obtained its Shareholders’ approval through Postal Ballot on August 21, 2008, for transfer of 250 KW Wind Turbine Business to its Joint Venture, Leitwind Shriram Manufacturing Limited (LSML ) with effect from April 1, 2008, the Company would continue to sell the 250 KW Wind Turbines till the time LSML obtains all statutory approvals to manufacture and sell the same. Consequently, the Company has not recognized the Profit/ Loss in the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31 March 2017.

1. The Company had secured an EPC Contract from M/s Abhijeet Projects Limited (APRL) for execution of a Solar Thermal power project at Rajasthan with technology support from M/s EnerT international limited, Israel. The contract should have been executed by 28th February 2013. But due to the financial encumbrances of APRL, the project came to standstill since March 2013. The amount outstanding under Trade Receivables, Unbilled revenue and Short Term loans and advance net of advance received from APRL aggregates to Rs.9,867.91 lakhs. The Company and the customer have been in negotiations with potential financial and strategic investors which would enable the company to recover its dues. However, there has been no progress in these negotiations. Consequently, considering the increasing uncertainty in the ultimate realization of the said dues, the company as a matter of abundant caution has made a provision of Rs. 6,707.38 lakhs in the previous year - Refer Note No. 7, (after adjusting the value of trade liabilities in respect of this project), which has been included in exceptional items in the statement of Profit and Loss for the year ended 31st March 2016.

(a) The Company''s investment in its associate, Haldia Coke and Chemicals Private Limited is Rs. 4,007.22 lakhs. Considering the erosion of net worth and continuing losses being incurred by it, the Management is of the opinion that the diminution in carrying value of the investment as at 31 March 2016 in the associate is other than temporary in nature. Consequently the company made a provision for diminution in the previous year , for the said amount and disclosed the same under exceptional item in the statement of Profit and Loss.

2. (b) The Company''s investment in Leitwind Shriram Manufacturing Limited (a related party) is Rs. 407.56 lakhs. Considering the erosion of net worth and continuing losses being incurred by it, the Management is of the opinion that the diminution in carrying value of the investment in that entity is other than temporary in nature and accordingly, the Company has made a provision for diminution, for the said amount and disclosed the same under exceptional item in the statement of Profit and Loss.

ii The Company was in the course of executing project for Governorate of Basra, Government of Iraq (‘the customer’). There were some delays in commencement of the project due to regulatory compliances. However the said contract has been cancelled by the Customer during February 2014. The construction activities has been ceased, and the legal dispute with the customer for the recovery of the amounts so far incurred in respect of the said project, or for re-commencement of the project and its completion thereon, are in progress. The Government of India has also been extremely supportive for revival of the project. The customer has opened a Letter of credit (‘LC’) for a value of USD 235 million (INR 139,590 Lakhs) which is an irrevocable LC backed by 100% margin deposited by the customer. Cancellation of this LC is possible only on settlement being reached with the company. Further, Company has also filed a claim with concerned authorities and insurers towards compensation for cancellation of contract. The total amounts due to Company recorded under Trade Receivables, Unbilled revenue representing the actual cost incurred (after excluding the margin which has been written off) and Short Term loans and advances, in respect of this project, aggregate to Rs. 12,141.62 Lakhs. For the above reasons, the management is confident of realizing the monies and do not expect any shortfall in realization.

The Company entered into a contract to construct Ammonia plant for Bharath Coal and Chemicals Limited (BCCL) (related party). The project is stalled due to delay in statutory approvals. The total exposure in this project recorded under Unbilled Revenue and Contract Work In Progress is Rs. 8,300.19 lakhs. Considering the positive development in BCCL’s efforts in identifying alternate options to complete the project, the management is of the view that BCCL will be in a position to complete the Ammonia Plant project and thereby the Company will be able to realize these amounts in full.

3. Ka) Long term Loans and advances include Rs. 12,309.62 Lakhs (including interest accrued up to 31 March 2016 of Rs. 2,489.57 Lakhs), and Other Non - Current Assets includes Trade Receivables(Net) of Rs. 1,023.58 Lakhs, due from Leitwind Shriram Manufacturing Limited (LSML) (a related party). As part of the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) package entered into by LSML with its bankers, the dues to SEPC is subordinated to the dues to Bankers and hence expected to be recovered substantially before March 2030 and the balance thereafter. Considering the extended repayment period and future business potential for Wind Energy Business, the management is confident of realizing the dues. However as a matter of prudence, the Company has stopped recognizing interest from 01st April 2016 on the principal amount outstanding.

4. (b) Long term loans and advances include Rs 78,011.70 lakhs due from an associate company and its subsidiary. In order to secure these dues the company has entered into an arrangement, effective from 1st March 2017, with the said associate and another wholly owned subsidiary of the associate which is engaged in coal mining operations in USA by which the company has acquired absolute and unconditional mining operation rights to exploit the coking coal reserves in relation to the mines of the said subsidiary, and the right to surplus cash flows, (after meeting subsidiary’s commitments), to the extent of the above mentioned dues. Also the associate company has given an undertaking that it will not divest its holdings in the said subsidiary company till the dues to the company are settled. Based on the projected operations of the mines and consequential projected cash flows, the outstanding dues are expected to be recoverable over a period of 11 years. In view of a mining asset and its cash flows being secured towards the outstanding due to the Company, no provision is considered necessary for these dues at this stage. However, as a matter of prudence the company has stopped recognizing interest from April 1, 2016 on principal amounts outstanding.

5. The Company had entered into a Turnkey contract with a customer in Chennai, in an earlier year for construction of a thermal power plant. The project is on hold, as the customer is awaiting project financial closure from the banks. The total exposure in this project included under Trade Receivables and Unbilled Revenue (Net of advances received and Trade Liabilities) is Rs. 5,634.41 Lakhs .Considering the long standing relationship with the customer and history of prompt realization of dues in respect of projects completed for the customer in earlier years, the management is confident of realizing the monies due under this project within one year.

6. Previous period figures have been regrouped / reclassified to be in conformity with current year classification/ disclosure, wherever necessary.

7. The Board of Directors of the Company has reviewed the realizable value of all the current assets and has confirmed that the value of such assets in the ordinary course of business will not be less than the value at which these are recognized in the financial statements.

The Company and the client are in negotiations with potential financial and strategic investors which would enable the company to recover its dues. Accordingly, the company is hopeful of recovering all the amounts due to them and does not expect any short fall in the recovery of the dues.

11 The Company has over the years made investments in certain companies (Refer Note 13) and has given advances to certain companies (Refer Note 14). The interest on these advances is also receivable by the Company. The limits upto which the loans and investments are made are subject to Section 372A of the Companies Act, 1956 and also the resolution passed by the members of the company on 27 August 2012 by Postal Ballot.
