to BIFR to comply with the Provision of the said Act, after consecutive
hearing, the Hon''ble members of BIFR at their meeting held on e*
October 2005 declared the Company as Sick industrial Company under the

Assets of the Company in favour of Assets Reconstructions Co (I) Ltd.
(ARCIL) (for ICICI Bank Ltd. & SBI) and in favour of Stressed Assets
Stabilization Fund (For IDBI) under the Provision of the Securitization
& Reconstruction of Financial Assets & Enforcement of Security Interest

balance standing to their credit along with interest due thereon,
after adjustment of payment made by ARCIL to ICICI Bank & SBI, was
written back in the Profit & Loss Account. All movable & immovable

proceeds of sales to liquidated their dues. ARCIL by their letter
dated 8th September 2011 informed that they paid Rs. 4,77,55,818/- to
IDBI Ltd./ Sressed Assets Stabilisation Fund. The adjustment of such
payment with IDBI is pending due to non-receipts of "No Due
Certificate" on behalf of IDBI from ARCIL.

2. PERFORMANCE
Since all units of the Company are closed and the assets of the units
at Patna were taken over and sold as also assets of the Unit of Hind
Polymers were taken over ARCIL under SARFAESI Act there is no
production and performance of the Company.
3. MATERIAL EVENTS ON THE STATE OF AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY AS ON DATE
OF SIGNING THIS REPORT :-
1) It was previously reported that ARCIL took over Movable & Im-
movable Assets of the Units at Patna under SARFAESI Act 2002 and sold
the said Assets at a value of Rs. 1039.89 lacs and was in process of
settlement of the Companies dues to the Secured
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Creditors. The said ARCIL vide their letter dated 14th July 2011 has
confirmed that there is no due towards the Financial Assistance
granted by ICICI Bank and SBI to MSL Industries Ltd. In view of the
above position the Liability of the Company on ac- count of Principal
amount dues to ICICI Bank Ltd. and SBI as also the Interest accrued and
due thereon but not paid on the said loan has been adjusted in the
Profit & Loss Account.
2) As reported last year the Secured Creditors of the Company filed
recovery suits before the respective DRTS and Hon'ble High Court
claiming the alleged amounts of dues with interest from the Company. Out
of the said Secured Creditors SBI. ICICI Bank Ltd, assigned their
rights on the Assets of the Company charged in their favor, in favor
of Assets Reconstruction Co (I) Ltd(ARCIL). Similarly Industrial
Development Bank of India (IDBI) assigned their Rights on the Assets of
the Company charged with them in favor of Stressed Assets
Stabilization Funds. It was also reported last year that all movable
and immovable assets at Patna were taken over and sold by ARCIL under
SARFAEASI Act 2002 on behalf of Secured Creditors of the Units at
Patna. Other Secured Creditors namely BSFC and BICICO also sold the
Assets of the Units at Patna which were charged in their favor. The
Fixed Assets and Stock in Trade of both the Units at Patna were written
off in the Accounts of the Company during the year ending 31st March
2009. Certain other movable Assets like book debts, advances, deposits
etc were provided for on written off during the year ending 31st March
2009 as will be revealed in the Accounts ending 31 -' March 2009.
However the Auditor of the Company was of the views that the Company
could have written off all debtors and write back all creditors of the
said units at Patna leaving those debtors and creditors which are
sub-judice and reported the same in their reports to the members of the
Company dated 20m October 2010 on the accounts of the Company for the
year ending 31st March 2009.
3) In view of the aforesaid state of affairs and considering the
present positions of the Units at Patna having practically no
existence, having practically no staff/officers, having practically
no records to find out the details, which were misplaced at the time of
dismantling of the office building by the purchaser, as reported by
Unit In charge, Directors thought it prudent to take a judicious view on
the adjustment of the old debtors and creditors carried forward for
more than 10 years without any scope or any possibility of recovery of
outstanding debts. There were no claim from the creditors as reported
by the In-charge of the Unit except those are sub-judice. It was also
observed that the Units, in usual course of the business, had charged
interest at the rate as mentioned in their invoices, for non-payment/
delayed payment by the Customers. As such a substantial amount
(Rs.187.85lac) and Rs. 557.45 Lac for Hind Polly mars unit aggregating
Rs. 745.28 Lac was included in the Debtors and was credited in the
Profit & Loss Account in earlier years. It was agreed that a
preliminary discussion between the Managing Di- rector & Chairman of
the Audit Committee should be made. Accordingly an informal meeting
was held on 12th April 2011 which was ratified subsequently by the
Board of Directors at their meeting held on 25th April 20T1. According
to the said decision taken by the Board of Directors, in order to show
a true & fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and in order
to comply with the advice/report by the Statutory Auditors, following
adjustments were made in the Accounts at Patna and Hind Polymers.
a) Interest charged as above and credited in the Profit & Loss Account
in the earlier years by the units aggregating Rs.745.28 Lac as above to
be reversed and to be debited in the Profit & Loss Account for the year
ending 31st March 2010.
Similarly, Inter Corporate Deposit paid included interest at the rate as
applicable on ICD payment. However, although on the Company's filing
recovery suit and criminal petition against the Company/Directors, the
Hon'ble High Court Calcutta ordered for payment in full Principal
amount of dues but as regards interest, it was placed order for payment
of interest @ 6% which was confirmed also on appeal. The difference
between the amount of interest charged by the Company and the amount of
interest allowed by the Hon'ble Court tor Rs. 79.11 lacs was debited in
Profit & Loss Account during the year 2009-10.
b) Debit Balance with the Debtors like Haryana Telecom Ltd., Hindustan
Cables Ltd., Modi Plastics Ltd., Pulak Enterprises and Credit Balance
with Bhusan Industries Ltd., TISCO Ltd., which are sub-judice or under
dispute shall be allowed to remain in the Accounts of the Units till
their disposal.
c) Miscellaneous Debit Balance with Banks will be remaining to be
carried forward to subsequent years for reasons reported earlier
d) Balance appearing to different account other than above under the
head Sundry Debtors, Advances to suppliers, Loans & Advances, Cash and
Bank Balances aggregating Rs.391.16 Lac were to be written off in the
Profit & Loss Account for the year ending 31st March 2010 in both Units
at Patna and Rs.9.26 Lac for the units Hind Polymers. For unit Hind
Polymers a sum of Rs.27.66 Lac was to be provided for doubtful debts.
e) Credit Balance in Sundry Creditors, advances from customers and
other liabilities aggregating Rs.145.54 Lac were to be written back
and credited in the Profit & Loss Account for the said year in both
Units at Patna and Rs.4.68 Lac for Hind Polymers.
f) The provision made for doubtful debts and Loans & Advances at the
said two Units at Patna aggregating Rs.257.63 Lac which were debited in
Profit & Loss Account for the year ending 31st March 2009 as a
provision, was decided to be adjusted as written off in the Books of
the Unit without affecting further in the Profit & Loss Account of the
Company for the year ending 31st March 2010 as it was thought prudent to
do so considering total picture of the Units at Patna.
It is declared none of the Director is/was having any direct or
indirect interest on the aforesaid adjustment of the Assets and
Liabilities of the Units at Patna and at Hind Polymers.
4. FUTURE PROSPECTS.

April 2001 and operations of the Hind Polymers Unit was closed since

ii. The Company has not provided interest liability in respect of its
loans from IDBI and its cash credit/ working capital loan from SBI from
2002-03 to 2008-09 in view of the fact that the company was referred to
BIFR and the said IDBI and SBI having filed recovery suit before the
DRTs against the company and not intimated any debit of interest on the
said loans. Similarly provision of Interest on Loans from ICICI Bank
Ltd for the years from 2005-06 to 2008-09 has not been made in the

Interest up to 31-03-09 for Rs. 14091 lacs, and after adjustment of
exceptional items the accumulated loss as at 31st March 2009 would be
Rs 26003 lacs (previous year Rs. 23443 lacs).
2. PARFORMANCE
a) During the year the Company suffered a net operating loss of Rs. 134
lacs (previous year Rs. 174 lacs). The operation of Hi- tech Steel &
Steel Unit at Patna were suspended from 1 st April 2001 due to severe
liquidity crunch Although the unit Hind Polymers worked during the year
a; a very low capacity but the production was discontinued with effect
from 20th March 2009.
b) Main Reasons for loss
i. Sharp fall in the market price of the companys finished products
because of market conditions. Change in technol- ogy from Jelly filled
Cables to optic by end-users meant demand dropping to 5% Most of the
end-users became sick
ii. Severely reduced production/Sales due to market recession and
shortage of working Capital.
