and was unable to run all the plants. Further the plants which were operational during the year were also run at

lower capacity due to liquidity crunch, despite of the demand of the products in the market. Due to inadequate

the Banks. However, the management is hopeful with the changing economic scenario, of arriving at a

comprehensive business restructuring along with the debt realignment proposal with the lenders under BIFR.

VII. The Company has given the guarantee for loans taken by its subsidiary from bank. The terms and conditions of

then the prescribed rate under the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975 to some of the depositors.

The Company has implemented the Corporate Debt Restructuring Scheme during the previous year but the

operations of the Company are under stress due to various internal and external factors including liquidity crunch,

adverse market conditions, economic slowdown and fixed cost burden due to low capacity utilization. Under such

situation, the Company could not maintain the liquid asset ratio as required under the said rules.

XI. Accumulated losses, cash loss during the year, erosion of net worth and default in payment to banks for

instalment and interest dues.

The Company was passing through severe liquidity crunch during the year. The capacity utilization in all the

divisions was very low due to non-availability of working capital, delay in implementation of CDR package, delay in

release of additional working capital by banks, adverse market conditions and price competition. The cost of

production was also high due to low capacity utilization, increasing fuel prices and unabsorbed fixed cost. In the

course of time the Company incurred cash losses and there has been default in repayment of instalments and

interest dues to banks. The Directors of the Company are hopeful of turnaround of the business of the Company

and to rectify all above in the years to come.”
