To the Members of Sri KPR Industries Limited,
The directors, with pleasure present herewith the Annual Report of the
company together with the Audited Financial Statements (Balance Sheet
as on March 31, 2013, Statement of Profit & Loss and the Cash Flow
Statement for the period ended as on that date) along with the Reports
of the Statutory Auditors.
HISTORY. OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Sri KPR Industries Ltd was incorporated on 13-10-1988 originally under
the name of Bhagyanagar Engineering Industries Ltd and was promoted by
Mr. Kishan Reddy Nalla, Mr. Prathap Reddy Ande and Mr. Raja Reddy
Gaddam.
The company is heading for completion of 25 years of its incorporation
and this is the 25th Annual Report
After incorporation, the company established a facility for manufacture
of PVC Pipes and PVC foam profiles at Nandikandi Village, Sadashivpet
Mandal, Medak District and changed the name to Bhagyanagar Wood Plast
Ltd.
The said project was part financed by maiden public issue of the
company in the year 1994-95 and with term loan from HUDCO. The working
capital facilities were provided by State Bank of Hyderabad.
Over a period of time the company gained experience in marketing the
pipes and through its Managing Director Mr. Kishan Reddy Nalla
possessed the technical knowledge and expertise in manufacture and
marketing of Asbestos Cement Pressure Pipes. This expertise in the AC
Pressure Pipes field was extended to Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd which
was incorporated in the year 1996-97 which earned a royalty to the
company for a period of five years.
In addition to extending the technical know-how support, the company
also invested in Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd and has been a shareholder
since the beginning of the said company. Post the five year technical
support, the company also lent its expertise in presenting the benefits
of Asbestos Cement Pressure Pipes to various government departments and
thereby enhanced the business of Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd. With the
active support of the company, Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd has
established itself as a leader in Asbestos Cement Pressure Pipes field.
As a logical extension of the manufacture of AC Pressure Pipes, Sri
Venkateswara Pipes Ltd formed a 100% subsidiary by name Sri KPR Infra &
Projects Ltd, to carry on the business of laying Asbestos Cement
Pressure pipe lines. Both Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd and its subsidiary
have been profit making and dividend paying companies.
In the course of time the PVC Project was disposed-off and the company
was exploring various options to augment its business prospects and
also to have a progressive growth oriented business. The name of the
company was at this time changed to Sri KPR Industries Ltd with a view
to reflect a broader objective.
The management of the company and Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd noted that
the expertise and experience in the field of AC Pressure Pipes is the
common strength of these two companies and accordingly it was, after
due deliberations deemed fit that the expertise possessed by the
company in the area of AC Pressure Pipes and the experience gained by
Sri Venkateswara Piped Ltd being strengths of the respective companies
could appropriately be synergized and combined for the mutual benefit
of both the companies. Therefore a merger proposal was moved before
the share holders of both the companies and the same was approved.
The Scheme of merger so approved by the shareholders was presented
before the Hon''ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh for sanction, and the
same was sanctioned in March, 2013.
Accordingly to the Scheme, the assets, liabilities and the reserves of
Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd as at April 01, 2010 along with the
additions, deletions and accretions thereto from that date, would
belong to the company.
The merger has been given effect to in the financial statements for the
year ended March 31, 2013 and as such the assets, liabilities and the
reserves of Sri''Venkateswara Pipes Ltd as at March 31, 2012 have been
taken into the books of the company and the current year (Financial
Year 2012-13) operations have been incorporated in the books of the
company.
Keeping in view the fact that, as per the Scheme the profits of Sri
Venkateswara Pipes Ltd belong to the company upon sanction of the
merger and also the fact that Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd has been
consistently a dividend paying company, it is proposed to recommend to
the shareholders to declare a dividend of 7% of the post-merger paid up
capital of the company. The shareholders would appreciate this positive
aspect of the merger.
As stated earlier, Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd is a company engaged in
the business of manufacture of AC Pressure Pipes. It has a wholly owned
subsidiary by name Sri KPR Infra & Projects Ltd which is a company
engaged in the business of construction of water supply pipe lines
(laying of pipe lines). The subsidiary Sri KPR Infra & Projects Ltd has
recently incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary by name Sri KPR
Renewable Energy Ltd with the object of generation of non-conventional
/ renewable energy. Presently this is a start-up company. Even before
forming the step-down subsidiary Sri KPR Renewable Energy Ltd, both Sri
Venkateswara Pipes Ltd and Sri KPR Infra & Projects Ltd have been
generating renewable energy through the wind-electric generators owned
by them.
< As a result of the merger, Sri KPR Infra & Projects Ltd has now
become a wholly owned subsidiary of Sri KPR Industries Ltd and
consequently Sri KPR Renewable Energy Ltd becomes a step-down
subsidiary, The results of this corporate structure are presented to
the shareholders in the consolidated Balance Sheet of Sri KPR
Industries Ltd. As stated earlier, the merger of Sri Venkateswara Pipes
Ltd with the company is given effect to in the Financial Year 2012-13
and therefore the figures of the previous year are not comparable to
those of the current year.
The company now is engaged in the manufacture of AC Pressure Pipes and
through its subsidiary carries out the activity of construction of pipe
lines and through the step down subsidiary would be generating
electricity, in the days to come in addition to the electricity being
generated through the wind electric generators already owned.
Thus, post the merger the business profile of the company Sri KPR
Industries Ltd can be summarized as under: Manufacture and sale of
Asbestos Cement Pressure Pipes. r Execution of drinking water supply
schemes (by wholly owned subsidiary Sri KPR Infra & Projects Ltd)
- Generation of electricity through own wind electric generators (wind
; mills) i
- -¦ Generation of electricity (by wholly owned subsidiary Sri KPR
Infra & -
Projects Ltd).
- Proposed renewable energy, wind and solar (step down subsidiary Sri
KPR Renewable Energy Ltd)
The management is confident that its efforts in bringing in the above
explained infrastructure into piace will yield the expected results in
the years to come.

DIVIDEND
Before the merger of Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd with the company, the
paid up capital was Rs. 5,65,33,000 divided into 56,53,300 equity
shares of Rs.10/- each fully paid up, The paid up capital of Sri
Venkateswara Pipes Ltd on the appointed date (April 1, 2010) stood at
Rs. 4,44,06,840 divided into 44,40,684 equity shares of Rs.10/- each
fully paid up.
Out of the said total capital of Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd, the
company already held of 3,00,000/- shares of Rs.10/- fully paid up
aggregating to Rs.30,00,000/-. Thus the shareholding other than the
shares held by the company amount to 41,40,684 shares.
As per the Scheme of Amalgamation, for every 2 shares held ''(by
shareholders other than the company) in Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd, 7
shares in the company were issued accordingly 1,44,92,395 shares of
Rs.10/- each fully paid up aggregating to Rs. 14,49,23,950/- were
issued to the shareholders of Sri Venkateswara Pipes Ltd, thus bringing
the total paid up share capital of the company post-merger to
Rs.20,14,56,950/- divided into 2,01,45,695 shares of Rs.10/- each fully
paid up.
From the current profits of the company (accounted on giving effect to
the ,
merger) for the Financial Year 2012-13 the Directors recommend a
dividend of 7% on the post-merger paid up share capital of the company.
This would result in an outflow by way of distribution of profits to
the share holders of an amount of Rs. 1.59 crores (including tax on
distributed of the company).
The Directors are optimistic that the foundation being laid now will
result in a consistent distribution of profits on a year on year basis.
The dividend distributed would be tax free in the hands of the
Shareholders.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION. ANALYSIS AND OPERATIONS
OPERATIONS OF 2010-11 AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
The members are aware that the PVC Pipes division was sold after
obtaining the required approvals. Even before that, as the business of
the company was adversely affected due to unhealthy competition from
players in unorganized sector, the division was not yielding the
desired results and the company was on a look out for better ventures.
The company had few years ago provided technical know-how for setting
up of a Cement Pipe Manufacturing unit to M/s Sri Venkateswara Pipes
Limited and also invested in its capital.
M/s Sri Venkateswara Pipes Limited is a company which started its
operations with the technical know- how and expertise extended by M/s
Bhagyanagar Wood Plast Limited ever since the inception of the said
company. Initially M/s Bhagyanagar Wood Plast Limited also invested in
the share capital of the company and for the provision of technical
consultancy, royalty was also received. Over the period of last few
years, the technical and advisory expertise extended by M/s Bhagyanagar
Wood Plast Limited to M/s Sri Venkateswara Pipes Limited enabled the
said company to become a leader in the field of asbestos cement
pressure pipes.
With a view to enter into newer business areas a proposal to amalgamate
M/s Sri Venkateswara Pipes Limited with M/s Bhagyanagar Wood Plast
Limited was moved and was in consideration for quite some time now.
The Boards of both the companies having approved the amalgamation, a
petition has been moved before the Hon''ble Andhra Pradesh High Court
for sanction. The management is confident that the petition will be
approved and this will take the company and its business activity to
greater levels and the management foresees great potential in this
area.
MATERIAL CHANGES & COMMITMENTS [Section 217 (1) (d)]
The Company has filed an application vide application No.795 of 2011
for amalgamation with the Hon''ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh for the

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION. ANALYSIS AND OPERATIONS
OPERATIONS OF 2009-10 AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
The competition from unorganized sector has been an impediment in the
growth of the company for quite some time now. This aspect has
adversely effected the operations of the company, severely damaging the
profitability and the operational results. In the earlier year the
software division of the company was shut down and in the Financial
Year 2009-10 with the approval of the members, the PVC Pipe undertaking
was sold.
Considering the fact that the PVC pipe division has consistently been
weakening, the management for some time now was contemplating a
strategic merger with one of its associate concerns viz., Sri
Venkateswara Pipes Limited.
Sri Venkateswara Pipes Limited is a company which started its
operations with the technical know-how and expertise extended by
Bhagyanagar Wood Plast Limited eversince the inception of the said
company.
Initially Bhagyanagar Wodplast Limited also invested in the share
capital of the company and for the provision of technical consultancy,
royalty was also received. Over the period of last few years, the
technical and advisory expertise extended by Bhagnagar Woodplast
Limited to Sri Venkateswara Pipes Limited enabled the said company to
become a leader in the field of asbestos cement pressure pipes.
Considering the long association, both as a investor as well as
provider of technical support and considering the present market
positioning of Sri Venkateswara Pipes Limited, the management has come
to a firm conclusion that the strategic merger of Sri Venkateswara
Pipes Limited with Bhagyanagar Wodplast Limited would be in the best
interest of the share holders of both the companies. This would also
fuel the future growth of the merged entity, particularly in view of
the fact that Bhagyanagar Woodplast Limited has the technical expertise
and also the cash reserves required for the growth. The management is
confident that the operations of the coming year will be on a highly
positive path in the post merged entity. The management will approach
the share holders in due course of time with the necessary approvals
for the merger.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION. ANALYSIS AND OPERATIONS OPERATIONS OF 2008-09
AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
The last few years have not been very good for the company. The best
efforts of the management to increase the volumes of business of the
company and maintain a steady growth in its operations & profits did
not yield fruits.
The world over recession hit the operations of the software division of
the company adversely and eventually the management had to stop the
operations in its software division from the last quarter of the
Financial year 2008-09.
The company has been sustaining from the income from other activities
and the main line, i.e., pipes division has been incurring losses from
the last few years. To save the company from further losses the
management is planning to dispose of Land, Buildings, Plant & Machinery
of its pipe unit situated at Nandikandi(V), Sadasivpet (M), Medak
district. To this effect the negotiations with various parties are in
progress.
The management is committed and determined to make the company a
profitable one and increase the shareholders wealth and give optimum
returns on the investments. In this direction the management is
planning to take forward the merger plan with Sri Venkateswara Pipes
Limited, and the scheme of merger will be presented to the concerned
authorities such as the stock exchanges & before the Honble High Court
of Andhra Pradesh for final approval.
The management is confident that the merger will be a turning point to
BWPL and this will take the company to a reasonable growth over the
years to come.

AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
The Company has in the earlier year stated that some strategic mergers
or acquisitions need to be planned and implemented so as to take the
operations to a higher league and in this direction negotiation with
Sri. Venkateswara Pipes Limited have been made for a proposed merger.
The boards of Directors of both the companies approved the proposed
merger and an announcement to this effect has been made in the month of
June 2008. The company is in the process of evolving an appropriate
scheme of merger.
The company has posted a turnover of Rs.8.36 crores more or less same
as in the previous year however the increase in the cost of operations
at this lever of turnovers has had an adverse effect on the
profitability of the company and the company could post a profit of
Rs.0.12 lacs in the current year as against Rs.4.71 lacs in the
previous year.
The management is confident that in the current year the proposed plans
specially the strategic alliances and merger will take the company to

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION. ANALYSIS AND OPERATIONS
OPERATIONS OF 2006-07
The company despite its best efforts could not increase the volumes in
the pipes division due to un- healthy competition from unorganised
sector. The company has to maintain the quality of its products which
is compromised by unorganized sector
The software division posted a loss of Rs.5.32 lacs on a turnover of
Rs. 175.40 lacs.
On a overall performance basis the profitability of the company after
making adjustments for deferred taxation as per Accounting Standard -
22 (Accounting for Taxes on Income) and providing for current taxation
has been Rs. 4.71 lacs as against Rs. 22.12 lacs in the previous year.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Having put in its best efforts the company is not able to maintain a
set growth pattern in the present line of activity. The management,
therefore has come to a conclusion that to have a sustained growth and
increased profitability and returns on investments the company is
looking at strategic mergers and acquisitions which in the opinion of
the management will give a tremendous boost to the growth prospects.
The management will approach the members for the required permissions
and sanctions in due course of time.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION, ANALYSIS AND OPERATIONS
OPERATIONS OF 2005-06
The company despite its best efforts could not increase the volumes in
the pipes division due to un-healthy competition from unorganised
sector. However, On a overall performance basis the profitability of
the company after making adjustments for deferred taxation as per
Accounting Standard - 22 (Accounting for Taxes on Income) and providing
for current taxation has been Rs. 22.12 lacs as against Rs. 11.45 lacs
in the previous year.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Having put in its best efforts the company is not able to maintain a
set growth pattern in the present line of activity.
The management, considering the past experience and perceived future
prospects in the PVC Pipes line, has come to a conclusion that to have
a sustained growth and increased profitability and returns on
investments the company needs to have different products and a better
spread/range in products and services.
As a first step in this direction the company had identified GRP pipes
as a product having good future and management is studying the
feasibility of setting up the unit. The management, given its past
experience in the pipe industry, believes that this new product line
will augment the resources of the company and increase the
profitability. This unit if setup will be operational in the Financial
Year 2007-08.
To further the growth of the company on the lines mentioned above, the
company is also looking at strategic mergers and acquisitions which in
the opinion of the management will give a boost to the growth
prospects.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION, ANALYSIS AND OPERATIONS
Outlook for 2004 Financial Year To improve the marketing network for
the private markets.
To increase the operations in the software sector such as BPO etc.
The demand for the PVC pipes is mainly from the agricultural sector and
from water supply scheme undertaken by the Government. With the
improvement in the farming techniques and increased governmental
spending in the comming years the market for the products of the
Company is expected to be stable.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
The Company has an effective internal control system in place and this
is continually reviewed for effectiveness and is augmented by written
policies and guidellines, careful selection of qualified personnel and
a strong programme on internal audit. The Company believes that the
overall system of internal control is adequate given the size and
nature of operations and effective implementation of internal control
assessment procedures.
The internal control of the Company is also reviewed by the Audit
Committee of the Board periodically, and suggestions and
recommendations of the Committee are carried out.
OPERATIONS
The company again faced a rough patch in its progress in the year
2002-03. The software division, which was expected to do well, did not
pick up as anticipated due to the recession in the industry. The
overall performance of the company though can be termed satisfactory,
in as much as, the company did not incur any losses, the market forces
mainly stoppage of direct procurement of PVC Pipes by Government
Departments, and the operational bottlenecks faced by the management
during the period adversely affected the performance.
The manufacturing facility was shut down during the year for about a
month and a half. The employees had to be compensated as they were
leaving the company. The cost of employee compensation to the company
was to the extent of Rs.9.64 lacs. The operational restructuring that
the management had undertaken during the period though cost the company
during the accounting year 2002-03, the impact of the same would be
seen in the form of reduced costs in the coming years.
The company has, after careful market study, started during the year
2002-03, HDPE Pipe manufacturing and efforts are on to market the
product. The operations on this front are expected to increase and
yield good results to the company in the coming years.
Though the company was passing through troubled times, it has been able
to with stand the same due to the strong commitment of the key
employees. The management is confident of improving its performance in
the year to come.

OPERATIONS
As reported earlier, the industry scenario has seen major changes in
the year 1999-2000 with the departure by the government from the
earlier rate contract system of procurement of pipes. The impact of
this change has adversely affected the operations of the company both
in terms of turnovers as well as profitability.
The company has faced teething problems in the transition phase from
the earlier rate contract system.
However with a view to not only augment the profitability but also
explore new markets the company has, in a modest way, started supplies
to the private markets in Tamilnadu and Karnataka in addition to Andhra
Pradesh with new products like PVC suction pipes etc.
The software division of the company has doubled its gross income from
Rs. 8.85 lacs in the previous year to Rs. 17.81 lacs in the current
year. However amounts invested towards the development of Products and
Tools have affected the profitability of this division.
The management is confident that the products will be well accepted in
the markets and once there is a improvement of the software market, the
company will definitely improve its performance.
The company is exploring the African and Middle East in addition to the
American markets for its software products in addition to onsite
consulting. With the experienced and valuable manpower and human
resources presently available with the company, the management is
confident of achieving fair results in the coming years.

OPERATIONS
During the year 1999-2000 the areas which the company was operating and
the companies operating profile itself have undergone major changes.
The major supplies of the company in respect of PVC pipes were made to
various Government departments under "Rate Contract" system. As a
major policy shift the Government of Andhra Pradesh has dispensed with
the system of procurring through "Rate Contracts". In the changed
circumstances either the person supplying the pipes should undertake
the work of laying the pipeline or the person laying the pipeline
should procure the pipes on his own account.
This change in the working environment adversely affected the
operations of the company which resulted in reduced turnover with
respect to PVC Pipes thereby affecting the profitability.
However the company geared up itself to face the situation and has
registered as an eligible contractor with the Government of Andhra
Pradesh and made a small beginning in procurring pipe laying contracts.
With the infrastructure of the pipe manufacture already in existence,
the company has adequate strength to undertake the contracts.
Though there was a temporary setback in the PVC pipes manufacturing
activity of the company the operations of the company got a boost with
the successful commencement of the software division and the investment
activities of the company. These activities of the company have been
authorised by the resolutions of the members in the earlier general
meetings.
The investment activity of the company yielded Rs. 11.01 lacs as profit
during the financial year 1999-2000.
The software division of the company started off as planned and in the
very beginning of its operations has earned a foreign exchange of US
Dollars 20,000. Though a small beginning the management is confident
of substantial growth in the coming years.
The company has also ventured into the interest zone by launching a
portal of its own namely bhagyastock.com. The portal facilitates
online investment operations between investors and members of the stock
exchange while providing value added services such as investment
portfolio management and assorted information about various companies
to suit individual needs of the investors.
The year 1999-2000 also saw the company venture into manufacture of
HDPE pipes. With the exponential growth in the telecommunication
sector the demand for HDPE pipes has also grown tremendously. The
company has prepared itself to meet the market requirements. With the
commencement of manufacture of HDPE pipes the company has bagged an
order of Rs. 70.00 lacs from one of the group companies of Reliance
Industries.

PERFORMANCE AND BUSINESS PROSPECTS
The Company has achieved a turnover of Rupees 1,078 lacs during the year, in spite of recession and stiff competition from the major players in the field.

The profit margins for the year have been generally very low.
The Directors are, however, happy to announce that the Company has received very good and large orders for the current year which are expected to increase the turnover of the Company further. With the technical problems in the machinery now sorted out the Company hopes to make the most out of the large orders on hand. The company has added another extruder to the existing production facilities with a view to produce, without any interruption, the fast moving category of pipes, so that the inventory holding costs would be reduced, thereby increasing the profitability and the Company can ensure a continuous supply into the market thereby having a consistent market presence.
One more positive aspect in the operations of the Company for the year
under review is that the Company has executed its first bulk order of PVC foam Doors and Windows in Government undertakings which have shown a positive interest in the product.

Project Implementation & Performance
Your company has made significant progress in implementing the project. The Company has incurred an expenditure of Rs. 325.48 lakhs on the project upto 31st March, 1995. The turnover of the PVC Pipes during the period ended 31st March, 1995 was Rs. 107.55 lakhs. The same is less than the projected turnover since the company could not achieve the
rated capacity due to raw material problems and power shortage. Moreover the BIS quality Certification for the company's products was granted only in month of January,1995 which had an adverse impact on sales.
To overcome the problem of erratic power supply and to have ninterrupted power supply, the plant and machinery had to be run with 100% own generated power.
During the current financial year the company has bagged a deemed export order worth Rs. 1.10 Crores of which 16.51 lakhs was executed during the period under review.
The implementation of PVC Foam panels/sheets project has been deferred for the time being as there has been sharp fall in international prices of the sheets and the escalation in cost of raw material.
Given the present scenario the company anticipates a severe competition from the Oriental Companies in Australian and European Markets due to which the entry of your company into this field will not be remunerative. The funds ear-marked for the foam sheets will be utilised for the production of other high value added products which would
yield higher profit margins.
Your company is presently chalking out a strategic plan in this regard.
Although there has been a spurt in the prices of raw materials, your company has been able to pass on the incremental costs due to it's competative pricing.
Public Issue
Your company's Maiden public Issue in August, 1994 was over subscribed by 3.85 times. The allotment of shares was completed on 25-10-94. Consequently the share capital increased to Rs.565.33 lakhs.
Future Prospects
Your company has already entered into rate contract with Government departments such as APSIDC and Panchayat raj for supply of PVC pipes confirming to IS 4985 and IS 12818 Indian Standards. The PVC foam profiles are being marketed through well established dealer network all over Andhra Pradesh and in other important metros of the country. Your
company has bagged a prestigious order for supply of PVC popes worth of Rs.1.1 crore to World bank aided Project and consequently entitled to import raw materials without paying the duty on the Sales which falls under the category of "Deemed Exports"
Your Company has since completed all the supplies and is eligible to claim the benefits which include the import of raw materials on duty exemption basis.
Fixed Deposits.
Your Company has not accepted any deposits from the public during the year.
