As reported earlier, due to market situation, arsing out of the radical changes in Communication System, Liquidity Crunch etc. the operations of the two units at Patna were closed from 1" April 2001. Since the net worth of the Company reduced below the prescribed Limit under Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provision) Act 1985, on a reference made 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 Provision of the said Act. Meanwhile the Secured Creditors of the Company namely ICICI Bank Ltd., IDBI & SBI filed recovery suit against the Company. The said Secured Creditors assigned their rights on 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 Act, 2002(SARF AESI). After issuing notice for recovery of Debts by said ARCIL on the Company under the SARFAESI Act, not being paid, sold all charged Assets i.e. all Movable & Immovable Assets firstly for the Units at Patna and thereafter for the Unit HP at Ghaziabad which continued its operation till 19th March 2009. Remaning fixed assets of the units at Patna which were not charged in favour of the secured creditors having book value of Rs. 11.93 lac as per Note no 1 in Schedule 5 as at 31-03-2009, not being in existance, as advised, were also write off in 2008-09. The said ARCIL after disposing of all Assets of the Company situated at .its Units at Patna and Ghaziabad distributed the amount of sale proceeds to the Secured Creditors to settle their dues from the Company. In view of such payments of Company''s dues to the above mentioned Secured Creditors, the said ARCIL vide its letter dated 14th July 2011 send "No Due Certificate" on behalf of ICICI Bank Ltd and State Bank of India. Although a sum of Rs.477.56 Lac was paid by ARCIL to IDBI in settlement of their dues till date "No Due Certificate", from IDBI is yet to be received through ARCIL. In view of receipts of "No Due Certificate" from ARCIL, as stated above, on behalf of ICICI Bank Ltd and SBI, 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 assets of the Company which were charged in favour of Secured Creditors and sold by ARCIL on their behalf have been''written off in the Profit & Loss Account.

Under the aforesaid State-of-Affairs of the Company your Directors are not in a position, at the moment, to think the Company as a "Going Concern".

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.

3) a) Debit Balance with the Debtors like Haryana Telecom Ltd., Hindustan Cables Ltd., Optel Telecommunications Ltd., Modi Plastics Ltd., Pulak Enterprises and Credit Balance with Bhusan Industries Ltd.

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.
