Case No.70/2006

Duncans Industries Ltd. (DIL)

REASONS FOR SICKNESS The following main reasons are attributed to sickness of the company:

7.1

Reduction in Retention Price Support (RPS) retrospectively by GoI in 2002 w.e.f. July, 1997 and withholding / deductions / adjustments of RPS receivables in respect of the subsequent period of operation; i) Urea is an essential commodity whose selling price is controlled by the Government. In order to promote the consumption of urea to increase agricultural yields, the GOI introduced Retention Pricing Scheme (RPS). The difference between the RPS and the farm-gate price is reimbursed to the manufacturers by way of subsidy through the Fertilizer Industry Co-ordination Committee (FICC) under the Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizer. However, GoI/FICC did not revise RPS for the period 1997- 2000 and 2000-03 till June 2002. In the interim period, the industry claimed subsidy on the basis of adhoc notifications from the GoI. ii) The revised retention price for the Company was notified by the Government vide its order dated 5th November, 2001 having a reduction of Rs 1927/- per MT and Rs 1926/- per MT for the period 1.4.2000 - 31.3.2001 and 1.4.2001 - 31.3.2003 respectively. GoI vide notification dated 4th June, 2002, also notified the revised pricing policy parameters for the 7th and 8th pricing periods covering the period from 1st July, 1997 to 31st March, 2003. The impact of the adhoc notifications and the 7th and 8th Pricing Policies resulted in recovery of Rs 446.95 Cr from DIL, which was recovered/ deducted / adjusted by the Government. iii) The decision of Government in reducing the subsidy with retrospective effect resulted in erosion of the Company s working capital which led to severe cash flow mismatch resulting in closure of the fertilizer unit in March 2002.

iv) The Company s SLP filed in Supreme Court against decision of High
Court (vide which the High Court had dismissed the writ petition filed by the company against retrospective downward revision of the fertilizer subsidy by the GOI) was also dismissed vide its judgment dated 10th February, 2006. Consequently, Rs 446.95 Cr receivable by the Company as subsidy had to be written off during YE 31st March, 2006. Such a heavy loss eroded the entire net worth of the company making it a sick industrial company .

Case No.70/2006

Duncans Industries Ltd. (DIL)

7.2 i.

Inadequate working capital: In accordance with the CDR Package approved by the CDR Empowered Committee vide its letter dated 15th October 2004, the Banks were to provide Rs 62 Cr of additional Working Capital facility for recommencement of the operation at the fertilizer plant against an additional exclusive security of 2.89 Cr equity shares of M/s Andhra Cements Ltd (ACL) held by M/s Boydell Media Pvt Ltd, a company of Duncan Goenka Group, to be pledged in favour of Banks. The banks sanctioned additional working capital facility of Rs 56.45 Cr while the balance Rs 5.55 Cr (State Bank of Patiala was not agreeable to finance) was brought in by the promoters along with their contribution of Rs 25 Cr. Necessary pledge in favour of banks was created on 2.89 Cr shares of Andhra Cements Limited (ACL) exclusively securing the above limit of Rs 56.45 Cr. Upon implementation of the package, the lay-off was lifted w.e.f. 8th July, 2005, understanding with IOC (Naphtha provider) and KESCO (electricity provider) were arrived at to ensure the smooth availability of raw materials and power. The production at the plant recommenced on 30th August, 2005. After the unit re-started the operations in August, 2005, subsidy was again delayed from GoI and entire working capital of the company got locked-up in the subsidy receivable and plant operations had to be again suspended w.e.f. 18.10.2005. The company approached the Department of Fertilizer / FICC for release of subsidy which was pending for disbursement and also got assurance that in future the subsidy will be released in time. With the expectation that the Department of Fertilizer / FICC shall take some positive action on the request of the Company, it embarked upon the program to carry out certain essential repairs and maintenance of the plant which was necessary to ensure the continuity of stable production at desired efficiency levels. However, the subsidy amounting to Rs 25 Cr could only be released in the month of February 2006. By that time, the price of Naphtha, which is a major raw material, constituting more than 60% of the cost of production of urea, increased from Rs 23,500 per MT (in the month of July-Sept,05) to Rs 31,300 per MT (in the month of April,06). Though the increase in price of Naphtha was to be compensated to the company as part of subsidy but it had major implication in the working capital requirement of the company. The increase in price of naphtha coupled with delay in disbursement of subsidy led to acute shortage of fund and increased the working capital requirement for the operation. The Company requested banks to provide further support to overcome the liquidity problem caused due to locking of funds in the subsidy. The matter was discussed with the banks and it was suggested to explore the alternate possibility to tie-up the working capital requirement by way of credit from Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the sole supplier of Naphtha to the Company, as a long-term solution. IOC in principle was agreeable to supply the -9

Case No.70/2006

Duncans Industries Ltd. (DIL)

naphtha through the process of an Escrow Mechanism against the subsidy receivables but in the meantime, the price of Naphtha had further gone up to Rs 32,200/- per MT and at this price the requirement of Naphtha per month on full capacity utilization was estimated approximately Rs 95 Cr
and trend for release of subsidy by the Government on 45 days basis, requirement of credit from IOC was expected to be of approximately Rs 250 Cr and Naphtha supply could not materialize through escrow mechanism and as a result plant could not restart operation due to non-availability of feedstock. 7.3 Recession in Tea Industry: The tea industry, which is one of the oldest agro-based industries in the country, passed through a recession for 7 years till 2008 primarily due to fall in tea prices, lower exports, stagnant demand in the domestic market, escalation in the input cost, abnormal increase in labour cost and the presence of large quantities of tea produced by the unorganized sector where cost of production is low. The recession in the tea industry adversely affected the Company s tea operations. The above major factors contributed in the company incurring substantial losses and becoming sick.

MARKET REPORT / MARKETING ARRANGEMENT


The Company s Chand Chhap brand of Urea was one of the strongest Urea brands in the fertilizer market in Northern India. The plant is ideally located in agriculture belt and in decontrol scenario, with the brand equity of Chand Chhap , the entire production of Urea can be sold within a radius of 100 miles. The dealer network of the Company is in the entire northern India which needs to be revamped on resuming the plant operation . Tea is generally sold through brokers in auction centers at Siliguri and Kolkata. Loose tea is also sold all over India through a network of agents.

10.3

INDUSTRIAL SCENARIO India s fertilizer production has been stagnating for the last two decades and consumption is growing at a steady pace. No capacity has been added over more than a decade due to lack of incentives by the GOI. Under the current five year plan, GOI is laying strong emphasis on the development of the agri-sector and increasing food production. With the impetus, the demand for the fertilizer in general and Urea in particular is expected to grow at rates higher than those witnessed in the past. The country is becoming increasingly import dependent for farm nutrients. India imports about 20% of the world tradable surplus of urea, diammonium phosphate and muriate of potash. The country needs to increase the fertilizer output from 20 million tonnes to 40 million in order to reduce imports. Greenfield route for increasing the production capacity is very capital intensive with high gestation while revival of the existing plants would involve lower capital with short gestation period. -13

Case No.70/2006

Duncans Industries Ltd. (DIL)

the existing promoters ( through their Group Company- M/s. ISG Traders Ltd ) and M/s Jaiprakash Associates Ltd.( through their WOS - M/s Jaypee Fertilizers & Industries Ltd.). The holding structure of KFCL is set out below:

i)

Kanpur Fertilizers & Cement Ltd (KFCL) (wholly owned subsidiary of


JUBVPL)

It is a wholly owned subsidiary of JUBVPL which has been formed with the initial share capital of Rs 10 lakh which will be increased by Rs 400.63 Cr on allotment of equity shares of Rs 400 Cr to JUBVPL and Rs 0.53 Cr to the existing share holders of DIL in terms of the scheme. ii) Jaypee Uttar Bharat Vikas Pvt.

( existing Promoter Group) has been formed with the initial equity share capital Rs 15 lakh which is held by Jaypee Fertilizers & Industries Ltd. and ISG Traders Ltd. in the ratio of 50:50 which will be enhanced to Rs 20 Cr in the equal ratio. iii) ISG Traders Ltd (ISGTL) (Existing Promoter Group) The existing share capital of the company is Rs 22.86 Cr out of which 92.98% shares are held by the Promoters and associate companies.

The equity capital of this company shall be increased to Rs 250 Cr or more by M/s JAL / its associates.

12.1.1 Rationale / Justification for De-merger:


Due to non operation of the fertilizer unit, the Company has been continuously incurring huge losses and as a result , performance of the Tea units of the company has also suffered very badly. Due to the substantial requirement of working capital for the operation of fertilizer plant the funds of the company remained utilized in the said unit and retrospective downward revision of RPS by GOI, the requirement of funds of Tea unit could not be met. Further, businesses of Fertilizer and Tea are entirely unrelated and they do no have synergies of operations and have different dynamics, require different strategies for growth and different focus for alliance / consolidation. In view of the same and to cure the problems, which are being faced by the Company, it has been proposed that Fertilizer undertaking of the Company be separated from the Tea undertaking, so that adequate attention is paid by the separate Board of Directors to the

-19

Case No.70/2006

Duncans Industries Ltd. (DIL)

respective businesses and the adverse conditions prevailing, in any, of these businesses do not affect the business of other undertaking. The de-merger shall also enable the respective business undertakings to raise the funds, which are needed for their revival based on their own strengths. The Company s liabilities would substantially reduce upon settlement / payment of dues of creditors , out of the funds to be inducted by JUBVPL the JV Co. , and conversion of feed stock of fertilizer plant from Naphtha to Gas cum Naphtha along with additional capital expenditure on energy saving measures and revamping the plant will improve the operational efficiency of the fertilizer plant which, in turn, is expected to turn both the companies profitable / viable on long term basis. The Scheme of Arrangement between DIL and KFCL for proposed De-merger Scheme is as per Annexure A . The board of M/s Duncans Industries Ltd in its meeting held on 17.06. 2010 has approved the participation of M/s Jaypee Fertilizers & Industries Ltd.(a Jaypee Group Co) as a strategic investor for the revival and rehabilitation of the company's fertilizer unit at Panki, Kanpur through JUBVPL the JV Co. of M/s Jaypee Fertilizers & Industries Ltd and M/s ISG Traders Ltd, a group company of the existing promoters of DIL, upon sanction of the Rehabilitation Scheme and de-merger of the fertilizer undertaking into a separate entity i.e. KFCL.

12.1.2 Share Exchange / Swap Ratio :


The Fertilizer undertaking is getting liabilities of Rs 1182.19 Cr against assets of Rs 101.13 Cr as per book value being transferred to KFCL as on 01.10.2010. The net assets value is Rs (-) 1081.06 Cr as per book value as on 30.9.2010. As per estimated fair value of assets, the net assets value is arrived at Rs (-) 732.20 Cr after accounting for liabilities of Rs 1182.19 Cr and contingent liabilities of Rs 22.97 Cr( Total Liabilities: Rs 1205.16 Cr) whereas, the assets are valued at Rs 336.40 Cr ( Fixed assets Rs 286.75 Cr and current assets: Rs 49.65 Cr). Exchange ratio of 1 equity share of KFCL for 40 equity shares of DIL is proposed as per Report dated 27.10.2010 of M/s Chaturvedi & Partners, Chartered Accountants, New Delhi, on exchange ratio for the proposed de-merger of fertilizer undertaking of the company with Kanpur Fertilizer & Cement Ltd. As per valuation report, to arrive at the exchange ratio, a nominal value of Rs 0.01 paisa per share has been assigned to the shares of DIL which subsequent to the restructuring and reduction of capital as proposed works out to Rs 0.25/- per share of Rs 10/- of DIL ( Post restructuring and reduction and consolidation of share capital) and the same has been considered for the purpose of determining share exchange ratio.

12.1.3 Approval of Secured Lenders for de-merger:


As per the minutes of CDR Lenders Meeting held on 30.8.2010, ARCIL, the largest lender with an exposure of Rs 319.16 Cr (47.16%) is agreeable In principle to the de-merger of the Fertilizer Divn and

60% de-rating of share capital of DIL: As the losses have eroded the complete net-worth of the Company and the paid-up value of equity shares of the company does not reflect their true value, therefore existing paid-up equity share capital amounting to Rs 53.22 Cr shall stand de-rated by 60%. The 8.25% Redeemable Cumulative Preference Shares amounting to Rs 9.50 Cr shall also stand reduced by 60%. As part of the restructuring under CDR, unpaid interest amounting to Rs 165.98 Cr of banks / financial institutions was converted into 0.001% Cumulative Redeemable Preference Share (CRPS). Since the principal dues of the banks and FI s shall be settled on OTS basis, their rights in existing CRPS shall be extinguished and written off fully. The amount outstanding in capital redemption reserve of Rs 15 Cr and debenture redemption reserve of Rs 11.87 Cr shall stand transferred / adjusted to / from accumulated losses.

12.8 Capital expenditure of Rs 229.30 Cr on Fertiliser Plant: Conversion of fertilizer plant from Naphtha-based feedstock to Gas cum Naphtha based dual feedstock together with energy saving measures and revamping of the plant involving expenditure of Rs 229.30 Cr.

12.8.1 Conversion of feedstock of fertilizer plant from Naphthabased to Gas cum Naphtha based dual feedstock, energy saving measures and revamping of plant: (i) Urea industry in India comprises of 30 plants, out of which 15 plants are gas based, 8 plants are naphtha based and 7 plants are based on other feedstock. In terms of capacity, 60% is gas based and 40% is based on naphtha and other feedstock i.e. almost half of the country s fertiliser capacity is still not gas based. While the need to convert to gas is well established as per the policy of GOI, however availability of gas continues to be an area of concern. In view of the GOI policy, all non-gas based i.e. FO / naphtha based plants have to be converted to gas based plants. The site of DIL fertiliser plant at Panki is very strategically located and the HBJ pipeline is passing only 18 km away. Supply of gas to this site can be made available on creating the necessary facility by the GAIL. -33

Case No.70/2006

Duncans Industries Ltd. (DIL)

(iii) On conversion of feed stock from naphtha to gas cum naphtha, the handicap of DIL in using expensive naphtha will get wiped out and for all practical purposes it will become a gas based plant enjoying competitive advantage over the remaining such operational plants. On conversion to gas along with energy saving measures, revamping of plant, etc. at an approximate cost of Rs 229.30 Cr to be incurred in a phased manner, the plant will be benefited by substantial saving in energy consumption from 7.847 MMKCal / Mte of Urea in case of naphtha to 6.887 MMKCal / Mte on Gas based. The operational efficiency including energy efficiency from the conversion will not be mopped up for a period of 5 years from the date of commissioning of the converted plant, as per new policy of the Government.
12.9 Infusion of fresh funds of Rs 11.65 Cr in the form of equity and Rs 26.85 Cr interest free unsecured loans / equity :

Infusion of fresh funds of Rs 11.65 Cr in the form of equity post de-rating of existing equity capital and Rs 26.85 Cr by way of interest free unsecured loans/equity in 3 installment in 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2014-15 by the Promoters / Associates is proposed into DIL. 12.10 Conversion of existing unsecured loans of Rs 30.56 Cr brought in by the promoters into equity at par, post de-rating: Conversion of existing unsecured loans of Rs 30.56 Cr brought in by the promoters into equity at par after de-rating of existing share capital is proposed. 12.11 Relief and concessions from various concerned parties: The Scheme also envisages grant of relief and concession by the agencies / authorities including Central Govt, State Govt of UP, Trade Tax Department of UP, Kanpur Electric Supply Company (KESCO), Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Govt of West Bengal, CBDT, PF Authorities, ESI, and employees etc as stated below.
