There is a loss of Rs. 6.81 Lakhs for the year ended

“deficit” of Rs. 339.85b lakhs for the previous year.
Therefore, the Total Comprehensive Income for the

No material changes/commitments have occurred
after the financial year ending till date of this report,
which affected the financial position of the Company.

> Operations

During the year under review the Company''s revenue
was generated from vessel repairs. This was
substantially lower than the previous year in view
of the fact that the Company''s main customers fleet
reduced in size and therefore the extent of repairs
carried out also reduced.

> Future Outlook

During the current year, Revenue from operations
declined and the Company incurred a loss.

In the short term the Company will face challenges
since the Company''s main customer has reduced
the strength of its fleet, as stated above. As a result,
the scope to carry our repairs has also reduced.
However, the Company has been putting great
efforts to increase its Customer base. Additionally
since the Company''s main Customer Vessels
require to undergo statutory dry docking/upgrade
during the year, the Company expects to see some
improvement in terms of its results.

On a the medium to long term horizon, the Company
hopes that better days return to the Offshore Shipping
market and its Customers once again expand their
fleets, which would translate into more business
for the Company. The company is also hopeful of
widening its Customer base so that it can generate
sufficient revenue to defray all costs and earn a
healthy profit.

As a background, the Company had filed an

Court of Madras in the matter of Integrated Finance
Company Limited (IFCL). The Hon''ble Court was
pleased to set aside the Exparte Decree by an Order
dated 04.04.2017 upon condition of deposit of Rs 30
lakh with the Court, which the Company has complied
with. The Company has thereafter filed its written
statement and also filed an application for dismissal
of the suit filed by IFCL on the grounds of limitation
and also whether the Suit could be considered as a
“Commercial Suit”.

Prior to deciding on the issue of limitation, the
Hon''ble High Court of Madras declined to entertain
the disputes between the parties as a “Commercial
Suit” as originally argued by IFCL and passed the
order in favour of the Company. Thereafter, IFCL
preferred an appeal against the same order in the
Appellate Bench of the Hon''ble High Court of Madras
where they lost once again. IFCL thereafter filed
an appeal with the Hon''ble Supreme Court. Upon
hearing the matter, the Hon. Supreme Court decided

that the matter was a commercial suit and therefore
the further hearing/s could be conducted at The High
Court of Madras. Accordingly, the matter is now listed
in the High Court of Madras, waiting for a date of
hearing.

Suit No.02

The Company has also filed a suit for an amount of
Rs. 1.93/- cr. together with interest @ 18% against
Integrated Finance Company Limited (IFCL) for loss
of profit.

The order passed by the Appellate Bench of High
Court of Madras in their judgement against the
appeal filed by IFCL (as stated above in the second
para of Suit No. 01) further stated that since the
matter mentioned in Suit No. 02 (the Suit filed by the
Company) is interconnected with Suit No. 01 (the
Suit filed by IFCL), the suits should by heard jointly,
as “civil suits”.
