Dear Shareholders,The Financial Year 2013-14 saw slowdown in the Indian economy with second consecutive year of sub 5% GDP growth, muted business confidence and an uncertain macroeconomic environment. The negative sentiment affected the iron and steel industry and its end sectors as well. With 6% lower sales of automobiles in the financial year 2013-14 compared to previous year, contraction of 0.7% in manufacturing and 1.4% in mining sectors, and lacklustre infrastructure activity, inflationary pressure and regulatory bottleneck have dampened sector growth rate including foundry industry. As a result, there was reduced demand and increased pressure on prices in the pig iron business. However, India has a huge potential to grow and be one of the most competitive nations of the future. With the new government in place, there is an expectation that the economy will recover from sluggish growth driven by the investment led economic policies promoting industrialisation and urbanisation in the country.

Despite the challenging industry scenario, your Company showed improvement in all areas like pig iron production and sales, ductile iron pipe production and sales, and other key operating parameters, viz., sinter production, coke rate, DI pipe yield, etc. Tata Metaliks DI Pipes Limited, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary involved in the Ductile Iron (DI) pipe business, managed to significantly improve its production and sales performances and reported quarterly profit for the first time during Q4 of the year. On a consolidated basis, for the first time since commercial start-up of DI pipe plant, your

Company turned into black and ended 2013-14 with a profit of ` 9.47 crores against a loss of ` 113.90 crores in 2012-13.

While the demand for DI pipes is expected to increase in the backdrop of higher Government spending on basic water and sanitation in the country due to urbanisation, the company will need to significantly enhance its processes and efficiencies to capture this opportunity. The increased competition in the Pig Iron industry (both from private players as well as from the state owned steel plants), and volatility in economic environment continues to pose serious challenges on the long term sustainability of the pig iron industry. The Company would need to continue its efforts towards reducing the debt and strengthening its presence in the profitable market segments in the future including market differentiation through brands.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all our shareholders, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders for their continued support and confidence in the Company and the management. I would also like to thank the unions for maintaining harmonious industrial relations, and the employees, the management team and my colleagues in the Board of Directors for their significant contribution to the Company.

METALIKS24TH ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

CONSOLIDATION

Business Scenario The world Gross Domestic Product (GDP) witnessed a mere 3% growth in 2013, compared to 3.2% in 2012. The continued economic slowdown in India and an uncertain macroeconomic environment resulted in sub 5% GDP growth for the second year in succession and adversely affected the iron and steel industry in FY’14. A 6% lower sale in the automobile sector, contraction of 0.7% in manufacturing and 1.4% in mining sectors coupled with mediocre infrastructure activity hit the overall growth rate. The resultant slow down adversely affected the foundry business which in turn led to reduced demand for pig iron and also put pressure on price.

Despite this, both Tata Metaliks Limited (TML) and its wholly owned subsidiary Tata Metaliks DI Pipes Limited (TMDIPL) showed significant growth in production and sales of both pig iron and ductile iron pipes. Hot metal production went up by 37% to 4,06,486 t (previous year 2,96,107 t) and sales increased by 52% from 2,73,514 t in previous year to 4,15,158 t during this year. Significant improvement in working capital management and reduction in debt from Rs 547 crore to Rs 441 crore helped Kharagpur operations to earn a profit after tax of Rs 66.98 crore on a 34% higher turnover of Rs 1,284.49 crore.

TMDIPL also showed a quantum jump in Ductile Iron (DI) pipe production of 54% from a level of 61,748 t in the previous year to 95,864 t this year. DI pipe sales, keeping pace with production, touched 97,808 t this year from 60,629 t in the previous year, a whopping increase of 61%. TMDIPL made significant improvement during the year and turned in a profit for the first time during Q4 of the financial year enabling TML to report a consolidated profit after tax of Rs 9.47 crore for the first time since inception of the DI Pipe Company.

Raw MaterialsPig iron industry is severely impacted on the iron ore front due to ban on iron ore mining in one state or the other. Being situated in the East, TML procures its iron ore from mines in Odisha and Jharkhand and the prices are determined by the rates decided by Odisha Minerals Corporation (OMC).Iron ore lump prices in Odisha dropped by 7.5% in Q2 and remained at that level through Q3 and Q4 of FY’14. Iron ore fines prices however, increased by a staggering 38% during the year putting huge pressure on the margins.

International coke prices showed considerable volatility during the course of the year. From a high of USD 290/t cfr in Apr’13, it reduced to USD 246/t in July’13 but started moving upwards again in Q3 to reach a level of USD 276/t in Dec’13. Thereafter, coke price started softening and reached a low of USD 215/t in Mar’14. Domestic Coke manufacturers, by and large, followed the International trend, albeit at a higher price trajectory.

One of the bigger challenges facing the Company in the raw material area was to reduce foreign currency exposure as it was heavily dependent on imported coke for its operations. In order to reduce the effects of high volatility in currency, the Logistics and Supply Chain Management team resorted to a judicious mix of procurement from imported and domestic sources. To reduce the

procurement batch quantity, imported consignments were shared with Tata Steel. Also, coal was imported and converted into coke through long term agreements. All these initiatives coupled with strict inventory management helped in controlling costs.

Availability of low phos iron ore also became a challenge during the course of the year as it is critical, not only for manufacture of high end Pig Iron but also to produce the right chemistry hot metal for the DI Plant. Blast furnace trials were conducted using magnetite ore in small proportions as the availability of haematite ore was an issue.

OperationsSet up with an investment of approx. Rs 120 crore, the sinter plant was commissioned during first quarter of FY’14 and all efforts were focused to stabilize the sinter plant operation. It is noteworthy that the sinter plant achieved its rated capacityin its very first year of operation with a productivity of over 1.3 t/m2/day. The availability of quality sinter and a stable blast furnace operation helped in surpassing the hot metal production target of 4,02,767 t and finish at 4,06,486 t which is an all time high production record in the history of TML.

Several improvement initiatives were undertaken in the plant which paid rich dividends in terms of increased production and productivity, better yields and reduction in costs.

Production of DI pipes at TMDIPL also showed a quantum jump of 54% at 95,389 t during the year compared to 61,748 t in the previous year. Other key operational parameters like rejection, yield, consumption norms etc also showed marked improvement.

Performance at MarketplacePig iron demand continued to remain depressed throughout FY’14 due to slowdown in engineering, infrastructure and automobile industries and low GDP growth. In Q4FY’14, consumption of Foundry Grade Pig Iron was adversely affected due to partial substitution by Basic Grade and low Silicon Pig Iron and scrap. The situation was further aggravated due to over-supply in domestic market of steel grade Pig Iron from RINL, NINL, Mesco and Bokaro Steel Plant, and supply of very high silicon (5 – 8% Si) sand cast iron in Howrah from nearby Ferro Alloy plants and railway sleepers in Punjab. These low cost materials challenged the demand of Foundry Grade Pig Iron and continuously created pressure on NR.

During FY’14, TML experienced adverse market conditions in Q1, with marginal improvement trends from end of Q2 till Q4. During the last financial year, the Company focused on markets which gave high realization. Customized pig iron having higher value addition was produced and marketed. This led to reduced pressure on foundry grade volumes and prices. To improve average NR, sales was maximized in freight friendly high NR markets by enhancing dispatches in East and North India and also controlled sales to direct customers in West & South India and Export. Sales targeted to get long-term direct customers manufacturing auto castings, pipes and pumps were also increased. Although the export sales increased by 85%, it was only 4% of the total sales.

For FY’14 as a whole, combined sale of Pig Iron and Molten Metal was 4,15,158 t, an increase of 51% over FY’13 of 2,73,514 t.

TML’s branded product, Tata eFee, has been well received in the market. TML also manufactured and supplied value-added customised grade pig iron to several customers. Further, the attention to each and every customer complaint and resolving the same to the satisfaction of the customer expeditiously was never overlooked.

TMDIPL also showed significant improvement in sales of 97,808 t during the year as against 60,629 t in the previous year, a significant increase of 61%.

Focus on exports is a priority for TMDIPL for which, apart from setting up dedicated manufacturing stations and stockyard, stringent quality control procedures have been established.

TMDIPL has branded its DI Pipe as Tata Ductura. The name consists of ‘Duct’ from the Ductile and tura from ventura which means “happiness" and "contentment"-a product which assures not just reliability but happiness and contentment.

FinancialsThe turnover of TML on standalone basis for the year was Rs 1,287.59 crore as against Rs 966.59 crore in the previous year, an increase of 33 %. TML’s Kharagpur unit made a profit after tax of Rs 66.98 crore whereas the Redi unit suffered a loss of Rs 28.38 crore mainly due to loss on sale of assets. On a consolidated basis including TMDIPL, the profit after tax was Rs 9.47 crore in the current year as against a consolidated loss of Rs 113.90 crore in the previous year.

TMDIPL achieved a sales figure of Rs 518.37 crore during the year as against sales of Rs 323.73 crore in the previous year. TMDIPL reduced its losses to Rs 29.12 crore this year as against Rs 59.36 crore in the previous year. TMDIPL showed significant improvement quarter on quarter and made its maiden quarterly profit of Rs. 1.66 crore in Q4.

Redi PlantThe Redi plant operations are suspended since October 2011. The assets at the Redi unit, excluding land, were sold through auction and the loss on sale of assets is Rs 20.81 crore. The total loss at Redi plant for the year is Rs 28.38 crore. Efforts are on for the sale of Redi land.

SafetyThe Company launched the Safety Excellence Journey, spear headed by the Tata Steel Safety Department, in both TML and TMDIPL. The Loss Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) has reduced significantly to 0.8 7in FY’14 from 1.143 in the previous year, without any fatalities. Last year’s slogan was ‘Safety, Quality and Housekeeping’. Great emphasis was laid on training the employees of Service Providers. ‘Safety Stewards’ were appointed to monitor safety practices continuously in both the plants.

Environment ManagementThe year also witnessed initiatives to make the environment cleaner and greener through proper upkeep and maintenance of

all Electrostatic precipitators and bag filters. Continuous efforts are on to improve waste management, waste water recycling, water conservation and rainwater harvesting. With proper utilization of the blast furnace gas the consumption of fossil fuel has reduced. About 3,200 trees were planted within the Kharagpur Works during the year.

Corporate Social Responsibility & Affirmative ActionThe Company believes in sustainable development through operational excellence and adequate focus on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and community development. The Company along with many of its employee volunteers carried out CSR activities in the communities near the plant at Kharagpur which include education, training, health care and self-employment.

To drive the CSR initiatives, TML has formed the 'Sadbhavana’ Trust. The Chairman of the trust is the Managing Director of TML and it is volunteered by officers and employees at all levels. The Affirmative Action (AA) Committee comprising the senior management, is set firmly on the path to assist the SC/ST communities under five broad initiatives namely Employment, Employability, Entrepreneurship, Education and Health. TML has adopted one village “Kunjochowk” where 100% of the community belongs to SC/ST. In order to fulfill the objectives of “Sadbhavna Trust & AA Committee”, a full year plan is laid out at the beginning of the year and a budget is allocated for implementing those initiatives.

Future OutlookFor the coming financial year, both the Companies are firmly set to march ahead by setting enhanced targets in production and sales volume and achieve better price realization and higher operational efficiencies.

However, over-supply and lower demand of pig iron is expected to continue during the first half of FY’15. Pig iron margin may also come under pressure due to cost push on account of higher iron ore prices and 2.5% import duty on imported coal and coke. However, in the second half, the situation is expected to improve, as demand forecast shows improvement from sectors like automobile and construction.

TML and TMDIPL aim to achieve enhanced performance in the market through its branded products “Tata eFee” and “Tata Ductura” respectively. TMDIPL is set to achieve sustained performance supported by robust demand for DI pipes due to proposed investment in water and sanitation sector.

The company is embarking on a capital expenditure plan for increasing capacities, improving operational efficiencies and manufacturing value added products. The company intends to set up a 1,20,000 tpa capacity non recovery type Coke Ovens plant on BOOT basis for which about 22 acres of free hold land have been purchased. The site work will start as soon as the Environment Clearance is obtained from West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB). A 10 MW Power Plant will be set up utilising the waste flue gases from the Coke Ovens. Company’s growth plan envisages various other projects for which TML is in discussion with WBIDC for 300 acres of additional land.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (Contd.)

Dividend

Your company has made a consolidated profit for the first time after commencement of commercial operation of DI pipe plant. Your company has several investment plans lined up for improvement of operational efficiency and it also needs to reduce its debt substantially. Accordingly, your Directors are not in a position to recommend any dividend for 2013-14.

Performance

During the year under review the company focused on stabilizing the sinter plant which was commissioned during first quarter of 2013-14. The sinter plant surpassed its rated productivity of 1.2 t/m2/day and operated consistently over 1.3 t/m2/day. The availability of the sinter and stable blast furnace operation helped in surpassing the hot metal production target of 4.02 lakhs tonnes and finish at 4.06 lakh tonnes which is a record in the production history of your Company since its inception as far as Kharagpur operations is concerned.

The Company has made a Profit after Tax (PBT) of ` 38.60 crores compared to a loss of ` 54.54 crores in the previous year on stand-alone basis. The profit on consolidated basis is ` 9.47 crores compared to a loss of ` 113.90 crores of the previous year. The stand-alone profit is after adjustment of losses of ` 28.38 crores which was mainly due to loss on sale of plant and machineries of Redi unit. The Kharagpur unit made a profit of ` 60.00 crores and this was achieved due to highest ever production, better realization in second half and controlled raw materials cost. The losses of subsidiary were mainly due to lower net realization as well as lower capacity utilization in first half. However, the subsidiary has made its maiden profit of about ` 1.60 crores during last quarter through overall improvement in performance. The production of cast ductile iron pipes has crossed 100,000 tonnes during the year under review.

Customer Focus

Customer focus is something which your Company always strives to achieve through its Customer Relationship Management and Customer Complaint Management processes. Your Company developed an improved version of its branded product, Tata eFee, during the year, which not only improved productivity of pig iron production process but also had improved physical attributes for the benefit of the customers. In order to strengthen its customer relationship, your Company manufactured and supplied value-added customised grades pig iron to several customers. Further, attending to each and every customer complaint and resolving

the same to the satisfaction of the customer is an attribute which your Company practiced at all times.

Industry Outlook

The over-supply and lower demand of pig iron is expected to continue during first half of 2014-15. However, cost pressure on account of higher iron ore prices and also import duty of 2.5% on imported coal/coke may result in some price increase of pig iron. Pig Iron demand is expected to be better in second half of the year as demand is expected to improve in some of key sectors like automobile, construction, etc. and also the over-supply situation may get eased out with shifting of some of the steel grade pig iron manufacturers from pig iron to finished steel.

On account of low demand, capacities in the foundry industry are currently under-utilized except those who export sanitary castings from eastern India. In the next four years, castings industry is destined to grow with growth in automobile, farm equipment, construction and pipe sectors. The Indian foundry industry has a bright future and is poised to grow with growth in sectors using castings including exports and is expected to be only second to China in near term. While demand for castings would look up, it is imperative that foundries adopt newer cost efficient and greener technologies to remain competitive in the global market.

Expansion Projects

Your Company is in the process of expanding its business operation and improving its operational costs and efficiencies through the following projects which are in the pipeline:

• Coke Oven Project on BOOT basis having a capacity of 10,000 tonnes/month BF grade coke. This project is likely to be commissioned by Q4 of FY-16;

• 10 MW Power Plant utilising the exhaust flue gases from Coke Oven and this is likely to be commissioned by Q1 of FY-17;

• Relining and enhancement of capacity of MBF#1 which is likely to be completed by Q4 of FY-16; and

• Coal Dust Injection (“CDI”) project which is likely to be commissioned by Q1 of FY-17.

Amalgamation

As reported last year, your Directors approved amalgamation of the Company with its holding Company i.e. Tata Steel Limited. The Company has filed the Confirmation Petition

20

before the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta and the same is pending for approval at present.

The amalgamation, if approved, will be advantageous and beneficial to all stakeholders of your Company.

Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statement presented by the Company includes financial information of its subsidiaries prepared in compliance with applicable Accounting Standards. MCA vide its Circular No. 5/12/2007-CL-III dated February 8, 2011 has granted general exemption under section 212(8) of the Companies Act, 1956 from attaching the balance sheet, profit & loss account and other documents of the subsidiary companies to the balance sheet of the Company, provided certain conditions are fulfilled. Accordingly, annual accounts of the subsidiary company and the related detailed information will be made available to the holding and subsidiary company’s investors seeking such information at any point of time. The annual accounts of the subsidiary company will also be kept for inspection by any investor at the Registered Office of the Company.

Subsidiary

TMDIPL is also in the process of amalgamation with Tata Steel Limited and its Confirmation Petition is also pending for approval before the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta at present.

A. Industry Structure and Developments

The economy expanded second year at sub 5% growth rate in the financial year 2013-14 due to various reasons attributable to domestic uncertainties and global slowdown. The expansion in 2013-14 at 4.7% was slower than an official estimate of 4.9% but higher than 4.5% growth a year earlier. Although domestic steel consumption grew at a CAGR of 7% during the last five years, it grew only at 0.6% during 2013-14 as a result of sluggish demand from automobiles, engineering, construction and infrastructure sectors. Lower economic activity in the country due to political uncertainty added to the problems of iron and steel manufacturers. Iron ore situation was also unchanged in the country with limited mining activity in Karnataka, Goa and Odisha.

Pig iron industry continued to witness slowdown in tandem with the economy as the foundry industry faced similar issues of restricted demand. Casting production in the country remained sluggish due to slowdown in requirement of auto components, engineering goods and sanitary castings. Reduced global demand of pig iron and lower domestic castings demand coupled with high pig iron supplies from integrated steel plants (steel as well as foundry grades) created an overall depressed scenario for foundry grade pig iron.

With formation of stable government at the Centre, it is expected that the economy will improve. While the stock market has already shown high degree of optimism in Q1 2014-15, any significant improvement in demand in iron and steel may take a little longer and show up once investments in infrastructure and construction industries start coming in. Passenger car segment of the automobile industry is already showing results with increased sales for most of the car manufacturers, which is a good signal for pig iron producers. Pig iron consumption is projected to grow almost at the GDP growth rate for the next four years. Demand for castings will be supported by anticipated improvement in growth in the automobiles segment especially the tractor industry driven by rising rural income levels. Strong demand from the pipes and fittings industry is also likely to boost pig iron demand. Further, one of the state-owned integrated steel producers is expected to cut its pig iron sale drastically in the second half of 2014-15, which will help in correcting the over-supply situation in the pig iron industry.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

MANAGEMENTDISCUSSIONAND ANALYSIS REPORT

Page 28: METALIKS - Bombay Stock · PDF fileDirectors' Report 18 Management Discussion and Analysis Report 25 ... steel industry and its end sectors as ... Significant improvement in working

METALIKS24TH ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

26

B. Pig Iron, Coke and Iron Ore Price Scenario I. Pig Iron Price Indian pig iron market, which had started showing a downtrend from Oct 2012 due to slowdown in global pig iron

market as well as slowdown in domestic castings market, continued moving southwards for almost ten months. With good monsoon and some improvement in user sectors, prices of pig iron started picking up in Q3 2013-14 and remained at a slightly better level compared to first half of 2013-14.

Pig iron is a commodity and the value addition over raw materials is low. Therefore, prices of key raw materials, viz., coking coal, coke and iron ore, impact the prices of pig iron. Apart from this, both domestic as well as global demand of pig iron has a direct correlation with its prices. Demand of pig iron depends not only on the performance of the user industries, i.e., castings and steel making, but also on the availability of scrap in the domestic and global markets. All these factors had a mixed impact on pig iron prices during 2013-14 with prices remaining low in the beginning but improving by about 6% during May’13 to Jan’14.

II. Coke Price International coke prices showed a sinusoidal wave pattern during the course of year 2013-14. The prices in Q2

declined to a level of USD 246/t CFR in Jul’13 from a high of USD 290/t in Apr’13, but started moving upwards again in Q3 when it reached a level of USD 276/t in Dec’13. Subsequent to that, coke price started softening and reached a low level of USD 215/t in Mar’14 which helped the pig iron manufacturers to partially offset the adverse impact of low demand of castings in the market.

In the domestic market, coke manufacturers lowered their price in Q4 2013-14 according to demand and prevailing low international coke prices. This softening is continuing in the current year 2014-15. However, imposition of customs duty of 2.5% on imported coal/coke in the budget of 2014-15 will have adverse impact on the input cost.

III. Iron Ore Price Although iron ore lump prices dropped by 7.5% in Q2 and remained at that level through Q3 and Q4 of 2013-14, iron

ore fines prices have been increased by whopping 38% during the year putting pressure on the margins. Iron ore lump prices have been increased by 24% with effect from 1 July 2014 which will have significant cost impact on pig iron. Further, with mining ban in several mines in Odisha in May’14, availability of low phosphorous ore is a concern in the current year 2014-15.

C. Financial Performance Company’s production of pig iron showed a significant increase of 38% from 398,405 tonnes in 2013-14 compared to

288,512 tonnes in the previous year. On the sales front, Company’s performance was even better, an increase of 51%, as it sold 415,148 tonnes of pig iron and molten metal in 2013-14 compared to 273,514 tonnes achieved in the previous year. This sale enabled the Company to achieve a turnover of ` 1287.59 crores in 2013-14 compared to ` 966.59 crores in the previous year. Kharagpur business unit showed 150% increase in profit in 2013-14 to ` 60.33 crores from ` 24.12 crores in 2012-13. However, the closed Redi business unit made a loss of ` 28.38 crores which included ` 20.81 crores loss on account of sale of assets (plant and machinery). Therefore, on a stand-alone basis, in 2013-14, the Company earned a profit of ` 38.60 crores as against a loss of ` 54.54 crores in 2012-13.

Off-take of molten metal by Tata Metaliks DI Pipes Limited (TMDIPL) [earlier Tata Metaliks Kubota Pipes Limited] increased by 40% in 2013-14 (to 95,406 tonnes from 68,403 tonnes in the previous year). Production of Ductile Iron (DI) Pipes was 95,389 tonnes in 2013-14 compared to 61,748 tonnes in 2012-13, a remarkable increase of 54%. TMDIPL achieved a sale of ` 518.37 crores in 2013-14 as against ` 323.73 crores in 2012-13, resulting a significant increase of 60%. Consequently, TMDIPL reduced its losses to ` 29.12 crores as against ` 59.36 crores the year before.

Therefore, on a consolidated basis the Company ended 2013-14 with a profit of ` 9.47 crores against a loss (before tax and minority interest) of ` 113.90 crores in 2012-13.

With the newly commissioned sinter plant achieving rated capacity in its first year of operation itself, the Company improved further over previous year’s coke rate, and that ultimately resulted in improved productivity and cost.

D. Opportunities With anticipated improvement in automobile and farm equipment sectors, pipes and fittings, and construction industry,

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT (Contd.)

27

demand of pig iron is expected to grow by a CAGR of about 5% during the next four years, as projected by market research agencies in the country. Further, exit from pig iron business by some of the state-owned steel plants due to commissioning their new steelmaking facilities, the over-supply situation of pig iron is expected to get tempered resulting in improvement in pig iron prices in the second half of current financial year.

During the year, the Company worked on consolidation of sales in strategic markets which gives high realisation and restricting sales in some of the low realisation areas. Value-added customised grades of pig iron with higher contribution were produced and marketed which reduced pressure on foundry grade volumes and prices. Efforts were also made to increase sale in eastern India market by adding new channel partners as well as direct customers. Sales in Delhi and Punjab markets were also enhanced with the help of new channel partners. At the same time, sale to key long-term direct customers manufacturing auto castings, pipes, pumps, etc. was also increased during the year. Export sales increased by 85% but it was only 4% of total sales as only the proximate and niche value-added markets were strategically serviced.

The Company successfully developed a modified version of its branded Tata eFee product which enhanced the pig iron production process productivity and further improved the physical attributes of the product for the benefit of the customers.

During 2014-15 the Company’s target is to further improve net realisation of its products by consolidating sales in contiguous and high volume markets, offering the improved Tata eFee to 100% of its customers, and higher sale of customised grades/value added products to niche customers.

E. Threats As a result of technological improvement in the casting processes and due to increased awareness in protecting the

environment, more and more foundries are switching over to induction furnace from coke based cupola. This technological shift provides customers with flexibility of using pig iron along with substitutes like mild steel/ cast iron/ heavy melting scrap as well as steel grade pig iron with ferro silicon. This change in the market is expected to put pressure on use of foundry grade pig iron which currently is the main product of the Company.

Ban on mines which are operating under second or more deemed licence approval, may lead to cost push as well as constraints on availability of low phosphorous ore, which is the main input for producing some of the customised value-added high realisation grades of pig iron being manufactured by the Company.

F. Outlook Production of pig iron in 2014-15 is projected to be slightly higher than last year. However, there may be issues with regard

to production of certain specialised grades like low Phos and SSG due to continued mining ban in some mines in Odisha. The over-supply and lower demand of pig iron is expected to continue during first half of 2014-15. Also, cost pressure on account of higher iron ore prices and import duty of 2.5% on imported coal/coke may result in squeezing of margin on pig iron. However, things are expected to be better in second half of the year as demand is expected to improve in some of key sectors like automobile, construction, etc. and also the over-supply situation may get eased out with shifting of some of the steel grade pig iron manufacturers from pig iron to finished steel.

On account of low demand, capacities in the foundry industry are currently underutilised except those who export sanitary castings from eastern India. In the next four years, castings industry is destined to grow with growth in automobile, farm equipment, construction and pipe sectors. The Indian foundry industry has a bright future and is poised to grow with growth in sectors using castings including exports and is expected to be only second to China in near term. While demand for castings would look up, it is imperative that foundries adopt newer cost efficient and greener technologies to remain competitive in the global market.

G. Risk and Concerns The Company has a Risk management process which involves periodic identification of risks likely to affect the business

adversely and adoption of appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. In this regard, the Company has identified risks in Marketing, Supply Chain and Finance.

Foundry grade pig iron industry may get adversely affected by substitutes like steel grade pig iron and scrap, and slow GDP growth rate and also under-performance of the automobile, engineering and construction sectors. Price of pig iron is also sensitive to demand supply position of steel scrap in the country. Recent budgetary provision of reduction of import duty on ships for breaking from 5% to 2.5% may soften the price of scrap, as a result of which pig iron price may require correction. The Company evaluates its marketing and sales strategy periodically and alters its sales plan, both with respect to markets

28

to address as well as grades to produce. This includes production of steel grade pig iron once in a while to control supplies of foundry grade pig iron in the market.

Price of iron ore has gone up and may further increase due to regulatory decisions of the Court as well as government.

The Company’s Foreign currency exposure is on account of import of coke/coking coal. This exposure has come down significantly with more use of domestic coke. Appropriate cover is taken to mitigate the risks as per forex policy of the Company.

H. Internal Controls System and their Adequacy The Company has proper and adequate internal controls in line with its size and nature of operations which provides

reasonable assurance that not only are all assets safeguarded, transactions authorised, recorded and reported properly but also all applicable statutes, Tata Code of Conduct and corporate policies are duly complied with.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of TATA METALIKS LIMITED (“the Company”), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2014, the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Accounting Standards referred to in Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 (“the Act”) (which continue to be applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in terms of General Circulars 15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs) and in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with the ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Act in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India :

(a) In the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2014;

(b) In the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss of the Company for the year ended on that date and

2.17 Taxes on Income

i) Current Tax

Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised by computing the tax effect on timing differences which arise during the year and reverse in the subsequent periods. The Company is eligible for tax deductions available under section 80IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in respect of income attributable to captive power plants being an eligible business. In view of tax deduction available to the Company under Section 80IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, deferred tax is recognised in respect of timing differences, which originate before or during the tax holiday period but reverse before or after the tax holiday period. Deferred tax assets against unabsorbed depreciation and carried forward loss under tax laws, are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets on other timing differences are recognised only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

iii) Current and Deferred tax is measured based on the provisions of tax laws and tax rates enacted or substantively enacted as at the Balance Sheet date.

2.18 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

i) Provision

Provisions are recognised for liabilities that can be measured only by using a substantial degree of estimation, if the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event, a probable outflow of resources is expected to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

ii) Contingent Liabilities and Assets

Contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the enterprise, or is a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because either it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. Contingent liabilities are disclosed and not recognised. Contingent Assets are neither recognised not disclosed.

2.19 Earnings Per Share

The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity together with any dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding during the year, except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

2.20 Segment Reporting

The Company identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns, internal organisation and management structure and the internal performance reporting systems. The accounting policies adopted for the segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Company. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of the their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Assets and liabilities which relate to the Company as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under "unallocable asset/liabilities".

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

1. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements relate to Tata Metaliks Limited ("the Company") and its subsidiary company. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the following basis :

a) The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary company (together "the Group") have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, after fully eliminating intra-group balances and intra-group transactions resulting in unrealised profits and losses as per Accounting Standard (AS) 21 - Consolidated Financial Statements as notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 (which continue to be applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 in terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs) and the relevant provisions of the 1956 Act / 2013 Act, as applicable.

b) The financial statements of the subsidiary used in the consolidation are drawn upto the same reporting date as that of the Company. i.e., 31 March 2014.

c) Minority interest in the net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries consists of :

i) Amount of equity attributable to minorities at the date on which investment in a subsidiary is made; and

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.01 Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary (together the 'Group') have been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP) to comply with the Accounting Standards notified under Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956 (“the 1956 Act”) (which continue to be applicable in respect of Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the 2013 Act”) in terms of General Circular 15/2013 dated 13 September, 2013 of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs) and the relevant provisions of the 1956 Act / 2013 Act, as applicable. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the previous year.

2.02 Use of Estimates

The accounts presentation in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the year.

80

Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and future periods.

2.03 Government Grants

Government grants which are given with reference to the total investments in an undertaking and no repayment is ordinarily expected in respect thereof, the grants are treated as capital reserve which can be neither distributed as dividend nor considered as deferred income.

2.04 Tangible Assets

i) Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation/amortisation. The cost of an asset includes the purchase cost of materials, including import duties and non-refundable taxes, and any directly attributable costs of bringing an asset to the location and condition of its intended use. Interest on borrowings used to finance the construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset until such time that the asset is ready for its intended use. The effect of exchange differences arising on reporting of long-term foreign currency monetary items is accounted by addition or deduction to the cost of the assets so far it relates to depreciable capital assets in line with Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules 2009 relating to Accounting Standard (AS) 11 - The Effect of Changes in Foreign exchange rates notified by Government of India on 31 March 2009.

ii) Freehold land is not depreciated. Premium paid on leasehold land and land development expenses are amortised over the primary lease period. Railway sidings the ownership of which vest with the Railway authorities are depreciated over ten years. Other fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line basis applying the rates and in the manner prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.

2.05 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortisation. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life. The cost of software is amortised on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of five years.

2.06 Relining Expenses

Expenses incurred on relining of blast furnace is capitalised and depreciated over a period of five years of average expected life. All other relining expenses are charged as expense in the year they are incurred. The written down value consisting of relining expenditure embedded in the cost of blast furnace is written off in the year of fresh lining.

2.07 Impairment

Wherever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of fixed assets may be impaired, the Company subjects such assets to a test of recoverability, based on discounted cash flows expected from use or disposal of such assets. If the assets are impaired, the Company recognises an impairment loss as the difference between the carrying value and the recoverable amount.

2.08 Investments

Long term investments are carried at cost less provision for diminution other than temporary ( if any) in value of such investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value.

2.09 Lease

The Group's significant leasing arrangements are in respect of operating leases for premises (Office, Residence etc.,). The leasing arrangements which normally have a tenure of eleven months to three years are cancellable with a reasonable notice, and are renewable by mutual consent at agreed terms. The aggregate lease rent payable is charged as rent in the statement of profit and loss. Assets, primarily motor vehicles acquired on leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease rentals are charged to the statement of profit and loss on straight line basis.

iv) Value of inventories are generally ascertained on the "weighted average" basis.

2.11 Revenue recognition

Revenue includes consideration received or receivable, excise duty but net of discounts and other sales related taxes.

ii) Dividend and Interest income

Dividend income is recognised when the company’s right to receive dividend is established. Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

iii) Insurance Claims

iv) Revenue Subsidy from Government of West Bengal

v) Sales tax deferral scheme

Excess of deferred sales tax liability discharged over the payment made based on net present value is recognised as income at the time of payment of net present value.

2.12 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets till such time the asset is ready for its intended use. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.

2.13 Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit/(loss) before extraordinary items and tax is adjusted for the effects of transactions of non-cash nature and any deferrals or accruals of past or future cash receipts or payments.

METALIKS24TH ANNUAL REPORT 2013-2014

82

the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the reporting currency and foreign exchange contracts remaining unsettled are remeasured at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange difference arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the remeasurement of monetary items, other than long-term foreign currency monetary items are included in the statement of profit and loss.

The Group has opted for accounting the exchange difference arising on long-term foreign currency monetary items in line with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2009 relating to Accounting Standards (AS) 11- The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates notified by the Government of India on 31 March 2009. Accordingly exchange difference arising on the settlement and remeasurement of long-term foreign currency monetary items relating to the acquisition of depreciable capital asset are accounted by addition or deduction to the cost of the depreciable assets.

Foreign Currency forward contracts, other than those entered into to hedge foreign currency risk on unexecuted firm commitments or highly probable forecast transactions are treated as foreign currency transactions and accounted accordingly as per Accounting Standard (AS) 11 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. The difference between the contract rate and spot rate on the date of transaction is recognised as premium/discount and recognised over the life of the contract. Exchange differences arising on account of remeasurement and gains and losses arising on account of roll over/cancellation of foreign currency forward contracts are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

2.16 Employee Benefits

i) Short term Benefits

Short term employee benefits are recognised as an expense at the undiscounted amount in the statement of profit and loss of the year in which the related service is rendered.

ii) Defined Contribution Plans

Defined contribution plans are those plans where the Company pays fixed contributions to a fund managed by government authorities and independent trusts. Contributions are paid in return for services rendered by the employees during the year. The Company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay employee benefits. The Company provides Provident Fund facility to all employees and Superannuation benefits to selected employees. The contributions are expensed as they are incurred in line with the treatment of wages and salaries.

iii) Defined Benefit Plans

The Group provides gratuity and leave encashment benefits to its employees. Gratuity liabilities are funded through a separate trust with its funds managed by Life Insurance Corporation of India. The liability towards leave encashment is not funded. The present value of these defined benefit obligations are ascertained by an independent actuarial valuation as per the requirement of Accounting Standards 15 - Employee Benefits. The liability recognised in the balance sheet is the present value of the defined benefit obligations on the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets (for funded plans), together with adjustments for unrecognised past service costs. All actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in full in the year in which they occur.

2.17 Earnings Per Share

The basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net profit attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of equity together with any dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding during the year, except where the results would be anti-dilutive.

2.18 Segment Reporting

The Group identifies primary segments based on the dominant source, nature of risks and returns, internal organisation and management structure and the internal performance reporting systems. The accounting policies adopted for the segment reporting are in line with the accounting policies of the Group. Segment revenue, segment expenses, segment assets and segment liabilities have been identified to segments on the basis of the their relationship to the operating activities of the segment. Assets and liabilities which relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocable to segments on reasonable basis have been included under "unallocable asset/liabilities".

2.19 Taxes on Income

i) Current Tax

Current tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised by computing the tax effect on timing differences which arise during the year and reverse in the subsequent periods. The Company is eligible for tax deductions available under section 80IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in respect of income attributable to captive power plants being an eligible business. In view of tax deduction available to the Company under Section 80IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, deferred tax is recognised in respect of timing differences, which originate before or during the tax holiday period but reverse before or after the tax holiday period. Deferred tax assets against unabsorbed depreciation and carried forward loss under tax laws, are recognised only to the extent that there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets on other timing differences are recognised only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

Current and Deferred tax is measured based on the provisions of tax laws and tax rates enacted or substantively enacted as at the Balance Sheet date.

2.20 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent assets

i) Provision

Provisions are recognised for liabilities that can be measured only by using a substantial degree of estimation, if the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event, a probable outflow of resources is expected to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

ii) Contingent Liabilities and Assets

Contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the enterprise, or is a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because either it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made. Contingent liabilities are disclosed and not recognised. Contingent Assets are neither recognised not disclosed.
