The Company has not performed impairment
testing with respect to the investments in

AS 36) ‘Impairment of assets’; hence the
impact on the carrying amount of investment
is not ascertainable

There is Dispute between Valecha Engineering

contract in 2014 and PBA has filed for claim from
VEL in 2014. Same matter was pending with the
Court since 2014.

The Balance of trade receivable are in normal
course of Business and regular follow up with
Debtors is being done by the Company officials

3

Company follows accounting practice of
recognizing revenue on the basis percentage
completion method. Company being an EPC
contractor raises claims / arbitration money
with its principals / Customers for the delay
on obtaining approvals, cost escalation, etc.
As per Company policy, though the claims
are raised for the actual loss incurred by the
Company (SOC), the same is recognized in the
books at realizable value determined by the
internal team of the Company.

Management of the Company hereby says that
claims known with Parties including the WIP of
are in process of recovery balance amount claim
position and therefore same should be considered
subject to realisation.

Though, these claims are not acknowledged
by the principles/customer, the same being
intangible/uncertified in nature is being
classified as a work in progress. The said claims
though classified under WIP (Current Asset)
are subject to uncertainty as to recoverability.
Unbilled work in progress of Rs.86.95 crores
and trade receivable amounting to Rs.82.53
crores as of 31.03.2024 is due to the various
claims raised on the Clients based on the terms
and conditions implicit in the Engineering &
Construction Contracts in respect of closed/
suspended / under construction projects and
which are overdue for a substantial period
of time. These claims are mainly in respect
of cost over run arising due to suspension
of work, client delay, changes in scope of
work, deviation in design and other factors
for which company is at various stages of
negotiation/ discussion with the clients
or under Arbitration/ litigation. Based on
discussion with principal/ arbitrations (which
are at various stages) , litigations and on
legal opinion / past experience with respect
to such claims , management is of the view
to that the aforementioned amount out of
which Rs.11.59 crores have been written off
during the quarter ended 31.03.2024 due to
not-tenable and therefore this amount is not
recoverable.

including quantitative details and situation of
property, plant and equipment. Company to
have a regular program of physical verification
of its fixed assets, periodically.

Management of the Company hereby confirms

There are arbitration proceedings / legal

manner to proceedings initiated against the

appropriate authority.

6

The company has made defaults in repayment
of its obligations towards its lenders and an
amount of Rs. 315.15 Crores was overdue
as per the SARFASEI Notice issued by the
consortium bankers out of which the amount
of Rs. 26.50 Crores of State Bank of Patiala is
settled under the OTS Scheme of State Bank
of India. This default indicates the existence
of a material uncertainty that may cast
apprehension about the Company’s ability to
function as a going concern.

However, the financial results of the Company
have been prepared on a going concern basis
& do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We would also like to draw attention to the
fact that in absolute terms, total outside
liabilities of the company exceed underlying
current assets.

The Company started facing financial crisis from
2010 due to slow down in the infrastructure
industry, high level of Working Capital
requirements, huge interest cost and Blockage of
receivables at government level and forcefully
cancelled the work order (awarded and put
into operation) at various sites for not obtaining
the required land by the Government in those
areas resulting all the matters were referred to
“Arbitration” for claim for huge amount, which
has direct impact on the growth of the Company,
consequences of which the Company has to face
so many legal issues including the financial crisis.
Due to continuous irregularity in operation,
our consortium Bankers had stopped to further
finance, extension of guarantees, issue of new
guarantees, etc. and also declared our account
as NPA since 2013. In response to physical
possession of various secured assets the company
has filed a counter case and received stay on
proceedings from DRT court.

7

Certain current/cash credit/term loan
accounts from banks & financial institutions
have not been reconciled as on 31.03.2024.
Being classified as Non-Performing Assets by
banks and financial institutions, the Company
has not been providing for interest since 1st
January 2018 on any of the outstanding due
from Banks and Financial Institutions. The
same policy of not providing interest has been
continued in the FY 2023-24. In absence of the
balance confirmations and statements of said
loans from banks and financial institutions,
the balance outstanding and interest charged
thereupon by the lenders for FY 2023-24
remains unascertainable. Lead Bank under
consortium had approached CMM Court to
take physical possession of the various secured
assets against total consortium overdue of
Rs.315.15 Crore under SARFASEI Act, 2002. The
Company has also received notice of physical
possession of various secured assets from the
lenders in response to which the company
has filed a counter case and received stay on
proceedings from DRT court. However, out of
total consortium overdue of Rs. 315.15 Crore,
the amount of Rs. 26.50 Crores of State Bank
of Patiala is settled under the OTS Scheme of
State Bank of India by the company

Statement of Accounts we have however
received partly and therefore reconciliation of
Statement of Term loan & cash credit is pending
therefore the Company has not provided interest
due to declare our account as NPA by consortium
banks. Company has time and again proposed
one time settlement with the consortium banks
for Principle Amount and same proposal is under
the active consideration time to time consortium
members banks discussed the proposal (OTS)
in their consortium meeting, out of which
settlements offer from one of its lender i.e.
State bank of India was received and has been
duly accepted by the Company

PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND OPERATIONS

During the year under review, there has been a marginal increase in the Income from Operations, mainly due to the divestment of the Company's Shareholding in Aurangabad Jalna Toll Way Limited. However there has been a drop in contract Receipts to Rs.27118.25 Lacs in the current year from Rs.27687.97 Lacs in the previous year. Profit after Tax stood at Rs.1031.56 Lacs compared to previous year Rs.953.97 Lacs.

Your Company's performance and financial position was adversely affected due to slow down in infrastructure, high level of working capital requirement, huge investment in equipments, high interest cost and blockage of receivables at Government level and arbitration. The company has availed short term loans/equipment finance. The shorter repayment period of these loans has resulted stress on the cash flows of the company. The company's operations were just adequate to service its interest obligations.

In view of the above it was necessary to restructure debts of the company to ensure that debt servicing can be sustained out of operational cash flows of the company. To overcome these difficulties the company embarked on debt restructuring under CDR mechanism. Your Board of Directors at their Board Meeting held on 10th December, 2011, therefore took steps to initiate process for availing relief in terms of Restructuring of Advances by Banks / Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Mechanism by making representation to the Lead Bank i.e. Canara Bank and got the approval of CDR on 31st March, 2012. Under the CDR certain term loans have been restructured with moratorium in repayment of installments and certain relief has been provided in the interest.

This year has been very tough for our Company with the overall pressure on the Infrastructure Industry. Your Company explored avenues by quoting for new work by tying with Joint Ventures. The Company has a Order Book position of around Rs.900 crores and is also in the process of bidding for new contracts in JV.

DIVIDEND

As per the conditions mentioned in the Master Restructuring Agreement of CDR Package as well as constraints by the Consortium Bankers of the Company, your Directors regret their inability to propose any dividend for the year 2011-12.
