ITEM No. 2

In the light of the earlier resolution passed, the Board of Directors of the Company ("the Board") with respect to the approval of members in the 25th Annual General Meeting of Company held on 19th September, 2018, re-appointed Mr. Anand Khandelwal (DIN: 07889346) designated as Whole Time Director for a further period of 3 (Three) years i.e. from 1 st April, 2018 to 31st March, 2021. The Nomination & Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 11th September, 2020 recommended and approved subject to approval / No objection of lenders and members at the Extra Ordinary General Meeting scheduled to be held on 26th March, 2021, the revision in remuneration and allowances of Mr. Anand Khandelwal (DIN: 07889346) designated as Whole Time Director of the Company w.e.f. 1 st April, 2021 for further duration of three years from the effective date, i.e. ( 1st April, 2021 – 31st March, 2024) provided that such variation or increase in remuneration is within specified limit as specified under the relevant provisions of Section 196, 197 and Schedule V to the Companies Act, 2013.

The company has incurred net losses for the year ended 31.03.2018, 31.03.2019 and 31.03.2020. The problems started with large amounts of money getting stuck in Government receivables. This led to a default in the repayment of the Bonds further leading to downgrading of credit rating of the company. Consequently, Banks withdrew the working capital facility given to the company to the extent of Rupees 1200 Million.

Due to the above, company faced severe working capital shortage and had to buy the raw material at high prices on credit from the traders. In Financial Year 2020, there was increase in loss of the company due to steep increase in the cost of the raw material purchased by the company and on account of incurring of onetime non-cash expenses of Rupees 465 Million. The company is taking all possible steps to correct the above situation.

In the current year due to various steps taken by the company, the company is able to successfully face the COVID pandemic on its own. The company was also able to replace the KKR with ACRE on a steep discount. Due to all the above efforts taken, the company expects to remain the EBITDA positive in March 2021.

The company is further trying to find a complete solution for the present defaults through replacement of debt or equity option. Consequently, out of abundant caution and in view of the relevant extant provisions of law relating to managerial remuneration, the Company is complying with the provisions of Section II of Part II of Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013 which prescribes that in absence of profits or inadequate profits, the remuneration can be paid within the limits arrived at in accordance with the requirements of the said Section II.

Reference to the provision of section 196, 197 and 203 of the Companies act, 2013, read with schedule V to the companies act 2013 along with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through its notification dated 12 September 2018 notified provisions of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017 (Amendment Act, 2017) and amended schedule V of Companies Act, 2013, provides for payment of managerial remuneration by Companies, requires approval / No objection of lenders, since Company has secured debt defaults and members approval for payment of managerial remuneration to the managerial person for period of not exceeding 3 years by way of special resolution.

III. OTHER INFORMATION

1. Reasons for loss or inadequate profits

In March 2020, the company experienced an increase in the loss. This was due to downgrading of the company rating to "D" in the F.Y. 2020. Due to the above, Reliance Industries Limited (the main raw material supplier) stopped giving material to the company on regularly agreed terms. This forced the company to source the material from the open market by paying huge premium. This resulted in steep increase of the raw material cost for the company.

Further Rupees 465 Million of onetime non-cash expenses were incurred thereby further increasing the loss.

2. Steps taken or proposed to be taken for improvement

The company started recovering from the 2ndand 3rdQuarter of the F.Y. 2020. However, the COVID pandemic in Quarter 1st of F.Y. 2021 resulted in further problems for the company. With lot of efforts, company was able to find a solution for the raw material supplies and was able to source imported material to reduce the additional cost being incurred on this account. Further, the company was able to pay off KKR by replacing it with ACRE thereby getting benefit of the steep discount.

3. Expected increase in productivity and profits in measurable terms

Company is making efforts to get the complete solution for all the problems by replacing present lenders (on a steep discount) with the new lenders or by alternatively getting another equity investor.

Due to all the above efforts, the company expects a considerable improvement in the results in Financial Year 2021 and, therefore, expects the EBITDA to remain positive.

It is to be noted that the company has successfully navigated through the turbulent COVID pandemic situation and has been able to recover from the adverse effect of this in a very short span of time by increasing production and improving the profitability.
