Other Business

In addition to undertaking infrastructure development through SPVs, the Company undertakes EPC works of the underconstruction projects and operation & maintenance of operational road projects.

THE FUTURE

Your Company through its repository of experience in project development and operations in multiple sectors, qualifies for largest projects being offered by project authorities in road, port, transmission and power sector projects.

Your Company, as indeed most players in the infrastructure industry, has been facing a resource crunch in the last few years. There is a sizable gap between the Company’s internal accruals and the requirement of funds for capital investment in existing and new projects and revenue expenditure. The ability of the Company to raise external funds has also been affected due to adverse market conditions. To ease the present situation, the Company is actively pushing for realization of its receivables from NHAI and other public sector agencies. Further, upon resolution of certain contractual obligations on few of the delayed projects, release of resources stalled thereof will bring back the Company into mainstream.

Going forward, your Company will focus on strategic partnerships at project level with selective opportunities which have lower risk and lower investment, which will supplement our existing portfolio. The focus will be to get “almost ready” projects commissioned at the earliest and operate the projects successfully. Limited initiative will also be taken in Engineering, Procurement & Construction work. Your Company is confident that these projects, once completed, will contribute positively to the bottom line and improve the cash position.

SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY

There has been no change in the share capital of the Company during the Financial Year. The paid up share capital of the Company stood at Rs. 188.36 Crores as at 31st March, 2018 comprising of 941,830,724 equity shares of Rs. 2/- each fully paid up.

Your Company has maintained a proper and adequate system of internal controls.

AUDITORS

At the 16th Annual General Meeting of the Company, the shareholders had appointed M/s. Nayan Parikh & Co., Chartered Accountants (FRN: 107023W) as the Statutory Auditors of the Company to hold office until the conclusion of the 21st Annual General Meeting (“AGM”), subject to ratification by shareholders at every subsequent AGM.

Amended provisions of Section 139 of the Act vide Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017 notified from 7th May, 2018 no longer requires ratification of appointment of Auditors by members at every subsequent AGM. In view of this, the appointment of Auditors is not proposed for ratification at ensuing AGM.

M/s. Nayan Parikh & Co., Chartered Accountants (FRN: 107023W) have confirmed that they are not disqualified from continuing as Statutory Auditors of the Company.

AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Auditors have qualified their report to the members on the following matters:

(a) Attention is invited to note 18 (a) of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements relating to the excess managerial remuneration paid of Rs. 497.17 lacs for the period upto March 2017 for the reasons detailed in the aforesaid note. The Company had once again submitted its representation to the Ministry to reconsider its decision and allow the waiver of recovery of the excess remuneration paid aggregating to Rs. 388.45 lacs for the period upto March 2016. If the Company’s representation is not accepted then the company would be required to recover the excess remuneration from the managerial personnel and to that extent the profit will be higher by an amount of Rs. 388.45 lacs. Pending the same no adjustments have been made to the financial results. Subject to the outcome of the representation made to the MCA, we are unable to ascertain the impact on profits on this account for the quarter and the year ended March 31, 2018. Similarly for the previous period ended March 31, 2017, the remuneration in excess of the limits computed under the provisions of Section 197 read with Schedule V to the Companies Act 2013 is Rs. 108.72 lacs for which the Company has made an application to the MCA for approval of the same. Pending these approvals, no adjustments have been made to the financial results for the remuneration of the said period. This matter was qualified in the auditors’ report dated June 18, 2017 by the previous auditors’ on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2017.

(b) Attention is invited to Note no 29 of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements in respect of status of the Tolling Road Project in Andhra Pradesh where termination notice was received from NHAI on 26th August 2016 and consequently, NHAI took over possession of toll plaza. Based on the subsequent negotiation and discussion with NHAI, they agreed to revoke the termination notice vide its letter dated 16th January 2017, subject to completing of financial closure and fulfilling of other commitments specified in the letter within the stipulated timeframe. The Company could not fulfil the said conditions. Ultimately on 8th September 2017, the Company made an application to NHAI for mutual exit from the project. The decision of NHAI in response to the aforesaid letter of mutual exit is pending.

In case the mutual exit proposal is accepted then the exposure of the Company is likely to be capped at Rs.7246.13 lacs as the Bank Guarantee would be released as requested by the Company in its letter dated 8th September 2017. In case the proposal is not accepted then the entire exposure of Rs. 15,666.13 lacs of the Company in the SPV needs to be tested for impairment. Accordingly, the decision of NHAI is more likely to have adverse impact on the Statement of Profit and Loss. No effects have been given in the financial statements of the SPV pending the decision of NHAI. The Auditors of the SPV have, in their audit report on the financial statements of the SPV for the year ended on 31st March 2018, carried a paragraph on Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern. The decision of the NHAI is awaited for determining the possible impairment and giving necessary effects. Pending the decision of NHAI we are unable to quantify the impairment that would be required in the matter and consequent impact on the Standalone Financial Statements.

(c) Attention is invited to Note no. 30 of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, where the Company has defaulted in fulfilling its obligation under the one time settlement (OTS) with IFCI Limited. The Company was required to pay the entire outstanding by September 30, 2017. The Company has been unable to discharge the liability and has not been able to get further extension for the payment of the outstanding although it is actively engaged with IFCI Limited for obtaining the extension and/or non-reversal of the benefits of the OTS. In terms of the original arrangement, the benefits received under the one time settlement were to be reversed. Although the management is hopeful of obtaining the extension and / or non-reversal of the benefits of the OTS, pending the acceptance by IFCI Limited we are unable to state whether the Company has to account for the reversal of benefits of Rs. 3,776.69 lacs in its financial statements. The company has however provided interest at the rate of 11.50% p.a. as per the agreement. The interest payable on the outstanding amount before reversal of the aforesaid benefit as on balance sheet date is Rs 158.13 lacs.

Further, without qualifying their opinion, the Auditors have emphasized the following matters:

a) We invite attention to Note 32 (a) of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, regarding unilateral termination and closure of Concessions in a bridge project, which is subject to pending litigations/arbitrations at various forums, which may impact the carrying values of investments and loans and advances given to the subsidiary. The Company’s exposure towards the said project (funded and non-funded) is Rs.2,856.96 lacs. Pending conclusion on these legal matters, no adjustments have been made in the financial statements.

b) We invite attention to Note 32(b) of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, in relation to intention to exit one of the hydro power projects at Himachal Pradesh and seeking a claim of an amount against the amount spent on the project. The Company’s subsidiary has cited reasons for non-continuance on account of reasons beyond its control. The subsidiary is negotiating with its client for an amicable settlement on beneficial terms and has also invoked arbitration. The Company’s exposure towards the said project includes investment and loans and advances of Rs. 7,119.23 lacs. Pending conclusion between the parties, no adjustments have been made in the financial statements.

c) We invite attention to Note 32 (c) of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, in connection with an amount invested (including deposits and advances given) in the subsidiary of Rs. 13,831.00 lacs (funded and non-funded). As mentioned in the said note a draft supplementary agreement has been discussed between the parties under which the project would go for a re-bid and the SPV has a Right Of First Offer. The management is hopeful that it will successfully match the bid and win the concession and continue to operate the facility, which would be operationally viable under the revised terms. The management has during the year acquired further stake from the JV partner and has obtained control over the SPV and holds 74% of the equity of the SPV Company. The auditors of the SPV have included a separate paragraph on Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern. Pending execution of the supplementary agreement and the conclusion of the Rebid, no adjustments have been made in the financial statements.

d) We invite attention to Note 32 (d) of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, in respect of a tolling bridge project in Andhra Pradesh where the monthly toll collections are not sufficient to pay the interest and the resultant defaults in the loan repayment resulting in the facility being marked NPA. The SPV had earlier submitted a proposal under the Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A) to the Lenders, which was cleared by the Lenders for approval of the Overseeing Committee (OC) set up by the Indian Banking Association (IBA), in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The SPV provided its response to the observations of the Lenders and the OC on the S4A proposal and was awaiting the OC/lenders’ approval. In the interim, RBI vide its circular dated 12th February 2018, discontinued with immediate effect all restructuring schemes for stressed assets (including S4A). As per this circular, all schemes, including S4A which have been invoked but not implemented, shall be governed by the new circular. Thus the restructuring proposal proposed by the Company is no longer being pursued by the Lenders. Subsequently the Company has issued a cure period notice to Andhra Pradesh Road Development Corporation (APRDC or the Client) on 26th February 2018 under clause 37.2.1 of the Concession Agreement to cure the breaches of APRDC which includes provision of Revenue shortfall loan along with other mentioned breaches. Pending receipt of the response to the notice for cure period, no adjustments have been made in the financial statements. The auditors of the SPV have included a separate paragraph on Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern on the matter. The Company’s exposure towards the project/SPV is Rs. 95,578.24 lacs (funded and non-funded).

e) We invite attention to Note 32(e) of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, an annuity project of the Company where the SPV has accounted for the asset as a financial asset. The SPV will have cost overrun on account of issue beyond the scope of the SPV and attributable to the Grantor. This will not result in any changes in the Annuity from the grantor. However this amount would be treated separately as receivable from the Grantor based on certification of delay period attributable to the Grantor certified by the Independent Engineer. The SPV expects a sizeable claim on this amount and has obtained legal support for the validity of its claim from an Independent Expert on claim and litigation. The SPV had also separately applied to the lenders for Scheme for 5:25 Flexible Structuring Scheme for which sanction from two banks among consortium members had been received and sanction from rest bankers were expected in near future. However, in view of the RBI circular dated 12th February 2018, all restructuring schemes for stressed assets (including 5/25 Flexible Structuring Scheme) have been discontinued and the application became infructuous. The management contends that in view of the strong case it has on the claim matter as aforesaid there will be no impairment necessary towards the financial asset or towards the investment of the Company. The exposure of the Company in the SPV is Rs. 1,30,254.07 lacs including non-fund exposure. Pending conclusions no adjustments have been made in the financial statements.
