in the manufacture of Hydraulic Equipments mainly used in Earth Moving
/ Construction Machines e.g. Excavators, Dumpers, Dozers, Scrappers
etc. The Company also manufactures Hydraulic and Traction Elevators.
The Company was promoted in the year 1965 by late Mahendra Kumar
Jhawar. The Company is listed in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE Limited).
The Company has presently two plants, one at Budge-Budge (West Bengal)
and the other at Hosur (Tamil Nadu).
2.1 Defined Contribution Plans
During the period an amount of Rs.18,24 (Previous year Rs. 43,73) has
been recognised as expenditure towards Defined Contribution Plans of
the Company.
2.2 Post Employment Defined Benefit Plans
I. Gratuity ( Funded)
The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan
covering eligible employees. As per the scheme, the Gratuity Trust
Fund, managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and
another insurance company, makes payment to vested employees at
retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an
amount equivalent to the respective employee''s eligible salary for
fifteen days for each year of completed service subject to a maximum
limit as laid down under the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972. Vesting
occurs upon completion of five years of service. Liabilities with
regard to the Gratuity Plan are determined by actuarial valuation as
set out in Note 2.10, based upon which, the Company makes contributions
to the Gratuity Fund.
The following Table sets forth the particulars in respect of the
aforesaid Gratuity Fund of the Company for the six months ended 31
March, 2013:
Notes:
(i) The estimate of future salary increases take into account
inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors.
(ii) The expected return on plan assets is determined after taking into
consideration composition of the plan assets held, assessed risks of
asset management, historical results of the return on plan assets, the
Company''s policy for Plan asset management and other relevant factors.
II. Certain employees of the Company receive benefits from provident
fund, which is a defined benefit plan and administered by the Trust set
up by the Company. Aggregate contributions along with interest thereon
are paid at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of
employment. Both the employees and the Company make monthly
contributions at specified percentage of the employee''s salary to such
Provident Fund Trust. The Company has an obligation to fund any
shortfall in return on plan assets over the interest rates prescribed
by the authorities from time to time. In keeping with the guidance on
implementing Accounting Standards (AS) 15 on Employee Benefits issued
by the Accounting Standards Board of the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India, a provident fund set up by the Company is treated
as a defined benefit plan since the Company is obligated to meet
interest shortfall, if any. However, as at period end, no shortfall
remains unprovided for. The Actuary has opined that the fund will
remain in a comfortable position to meet the interest liability in
respect of members in service over the next five years and the fund may
be treated as to have no interest liability as at 31 March,2013. During
the period, the Company has contributed Rs.1,80 (Previous year Rs. 4,36
) to the said Provident Fund. [ included under line item " Contribution
to Provident and Other Funds " on Note 25].
3.1 In earlier years, the Company was negotiating with its Consortium
Bankers for an One Time Settlement (OTS) of its dues. Accordingly, in
anticipation of an OTS, the Company did not provide for any interest on
its dues to its Consortium Bankers and SICOM in the financial year
2010-11. However, as indicated in Note 3, the OTS did not materialise
and accordingly as a matter of prudence, the Company has provided for
the interest for the financial year 2010-11 in the financial year
2011-12, although negotiations are on with the Consortium Banks and
SICOM for a fresh settlement of the dues.
The management believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company''s financial
position and result of operations. The Company does not expect any
reimbursements in respect of the above contingent liabilities.
4 The figures for the current period (six months ended 31 March, 2013)
are not comparable with the figures of the previous year, as the
previous Financial Statements had been prepared for Twelve months ended
30 September, 2012.

1 Corporate information
UT Limited ( ''the Company'' ), is a Public Limited Company and is
engaged in the manufacture of Hydraulic Equipments mainly used in Earth
Moving / Construction Machines e.g. Excavators, Dumpers, Dozers,
Scrappers etc. The Company also manufactures Hydraulic and Traction
Elevators. The Company was promoted in the year 1965 by late Mahendra
Kumar Jhawar. The Company is listed in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE
Limited). The Company has presently two plants, one at Budge-Budge
(West Bengal) and the other at Hosur (Tamil Nadu).
2 In view of acute fund shortage resulting primarily from sluggish
business conditions, the Company has defaulted in servicing its debt
obligations to its consortium banks and a Financial Institution.
Consequently, the consortium banks [i.e. Allahabad Bank (being the Lead
Bank), Bank of India and Axis Bank] have termed the Company''s accounts
with them as Non Performing Assets (NPA). Subsequent to the declaration
of NPA, the said banks have issued notices to the Company under the
Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement
of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI Act).
In the meanwhile, the Company had initiated talks with a Strategic
Investor (in order to meet its short term and long term obligations)
and also with the banks for One Time Settlement (OTS) of the dues.
However, the talks with the Strategic Investor could not be concluded
and as a result the OTS with the banks also fell through as the Company
was unable to pay the OTS amounts.
Allahabad Bank (lead banker) has taken possession of the Company''s
immoveable properties situated at Budge Budge and Hosur under section
13(4) of the SARFAESI Act. The said bank has also published a notice
under the SARFAESI Act, inviting bids for sale of the Company''s
immoveable properties to realise their dues. The Company has initiated
legal proceedings to nullify the said sale notice.
The Financial Institution (SICOM) has initiated proceedings against the
Company under Recovery of Debts due to Banks and Financial Institutions
Act, 1993 and has also issued notice under section 434 of the Companies
Act, 1956 for winding up the Company. The Company has taken appropriate
steps to nullify the said legal proceedings.
There are legal proceedings pending before various forums like Debt
Recovery Tribunals, Debt Recovery Appellete Tribunal and High Court,
Kolkata filed by Banks and Financial Institution against the Company
and vice versa regarding recovery of the dues, the quantum of dues,
etc.
At the Balance Sheet date, the net worth of the Company has become
negative, since the accumulated losses of Rs. 60,19,82 exceeds the
Shareholders Funds of Rs. 11,10,17 (excluding Revaluation Reserve of
Rs. 1,24,22). The intimation about the erosion of the entire networth
had already been made to the Board for Industrial and Financial
Reconstruction (BIFR) and necessary compliance as per the Sick
Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (SICA) will be made
in due course.
The Management has taken steps to revive the Company including but not
limited to cost control by various means, streamlining of fund
management, restructuring and realignment of manpower, concentrating on
core products, development of new products etc. Also, discussions are
on with the lenders for amicable settlement of dues.
Considering the above, these Financial Statements have been drawn up as
per the Going Concern assumption, which is appropriate in the opinion
of the management.
3 The operation of the Hosur plant has been suspended with effect from
24 July 2012 as part of cost control measures indicated in Note 3
