EEXPLANATORY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 102 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 IN RESPECT OF THE SPECIAL BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED:
Item No. 1&2
The operations of the Company have suffered in last few years mainly due to general economic slowdown, including policy paralysis and various other factors beyond control of the Company or its management. The major clients / customers of the Company are government bodies wherein the monies of the Company are stuck since long and for which the claims of the Company are pending. The mismatch in the cash flows was further widened with the non-release of sanctioned working capital credit facilities including Bank Guarantee limits, alongwith levy of excess margin & charges by some of the Lenders as against the agreed terms of sanction by the Banks. Due to the mismatch in the cash flows, the Company has not been able to service its debts or meet the payment obligations to the Lenders. Hence, the accounts of the Company with the Banks have been classified as sub – standard.
However, considering the claims and awards receivable by the Company and also the current business opportunities in the EPC sector, the Lenders have agreed for resolution by bifurcating the loan amount into sustainable and un-sustainable.
