Accordingly, the Equity Shares may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and this Draft Letter of Offer may not be distributed, in any jurisdiction, except in accordance with legal requirements applicable in such jurisdiction. Receipt of this Draft Letter of Offer will not constitute an offer in those jurisdictions in which it would be illegal to make such an offer and, in those circumstances, this Draft Letter of Offer must be treated as sent for information only and should not be copied or redistributed. Accordingly, persons receiving a copy of this Draft Letter of Offer should not, in connection with the issue of the Equity Shares or the Rights Entitlements, distribute or send this Draft Letter of Offer in or into the United States or any other jurisdiction where to do so would or might contravene local securities laws or regulations. If this Draft Letter of Offer is received by any person in any such territory, or by their agent or nominee, they must not seek to subscribe to the Equity Shares or the Rights Entitlements referred to in this Draft Letter of Offer. Neither the delivery of this Draft Letter of Offer nor any sale hereunder, shall under any circumstances create any implication that there has been no change in the Company’s affairs from the date hereof or that the information contained herein is correct as at any time subsequent to this date. European Economic Area Restrictions In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), an offer of the Equity Shares to the public may not be made in that Relevant Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to the Equity Shares which has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, except that an offer of Equity Shares to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time may be made:

c) in any other circumstances which do not require the publication by us of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

Provided that no such offer of Equity Shares shall result in the requirement for the publication by the Company pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive. For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer to the public” in relation to any Equity Shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Equity Shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Equity Shares, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.

7

United Kingdom Restrictions This document is only being distributed to and is only directed at (i) persons who are outside the United Kingdom, or (ii) to investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the “Order”), or (iii) high net worth entities, and other persons to whom it may lawfully be communicated, falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”).

The rights referred to in this Draft Letter of Offer are being offered in India, but not in the United States. The offering to which this Draft Letter of Offer relates is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an offering of any Equity Shares or rights for sale in the United States or as a solicitation therein of an offer to buy any of the said Equity Shares or rights. Accordingly, the Letter of Offer and the enclosed CAF should not be forwarded to or transmitted in or into the United States at any time. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company will accept subscriptions or renunciation from any person, or the agent of any person, who appears to be, or who the Company or any person acting on behalf of the Company has reason to believe is, either a “U.S. person” (as defined in Regulation S) or otherwise in the United States when the buy order is made.

Indian GAAP differs significantly in certain respects from IFRS and US GAAP. The Company urges you to consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on the financial data. The degree to which the financial statements included in this Draft Letter of Offer will provide meaningful financial information is entirely dependent on the reader’s familiarity with these accounting practices.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS All statements contained in this Draft Letter of Offer that are not statements of historical fact constitute “forward looking statements.” All statements regarding the company expected financial condition and results of operations, business, plans and prospects are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements as to the business strategy, the revenue and profitability, planned projects and other matters discussed in this Draft Letter of Offer regarding matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements and any other projections contained in this Draft Letter of Offer (whether made by us or any third party) are predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or other projections. Investors can generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “objective”, “plan”, “project”, “shall”, “will”, “will continue”, “will pursue” or other words or phrases of similar import. All forward looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by the forward looking statements due to risks or uncertainties associated with the Company expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to the industries in India in which we have our businesses and our ability to respond to them, ability to successfully implement strategy, the growth and expansion, technological changes, the exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions in India, which have an impact on the company business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes and changes in competition in industry. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:

• difficulty in managing future growth and profitability as a result of the diversified business; • increase in the cost of raw materials and interruption in their availability; • changes in Government policies that may affect the demand for and the supply and price

of the products; • non availability of fuel at competitive prices; • political and social instability in countries where the company operates; • fluctuation of Rupee against foreign currencies; • increase in the interest rates with respect to borrowings; • financial instability in Indian financial markets; and • adverse political, social and economic developments in India.

For a further discussion of factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ, see sections “Risk Factors” on pages 10. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated. Neither the Company nor the Lead Managers nor any of their respective affiliates or advisors have any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition. In accordance with SEBI/Stock Exchanges requirements, the Company and Lead Managers will ensure that investors in India are informed of material developments until the time of the grant of listing and trading permission by the Stock Exchanges.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider all the information in this Draft Letter of Offer, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in Equity Shares. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business, results of operations and financial condition could suffer, the price of our Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks that we currently face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Investment in equity and equity related securities involve a degree of risk and investors should not invest any funds in this offer unless they can afford to take the risk of losing all or a part of their investment. Investors are advised to read the risk factors described below carefully before making an investment decision in this offering. In making an investment decision, prospective investors must rely on their own examination of the Company and the terms of the Issue, including the merits and risks involved. This Draft Letter of Offer also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including considerations described below and in the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements” on page no.9. Unless otherwise stated, the financial information used in this section is derived from the Company consolidated audited financial statements under Indian GAAP, as restated.

A. INTERNAL RISK FACTORS

1. Outstanding Litigations/disputes/cases against the Company

The Company is involved in certain legal proceedings, incidental to its business and operations, which if determined against the Company, could have an adverse impact on the results of its operations and financial condition. The summary of the litigations is as follows:

Cases filed against the Issuer Company: Sr. No

Particulars No. of cases/disputes/ claims

Approx. amount involved where quantifiable (Rs. in lacs)

1. Central Excise 9 189.84 2. Central Sales Tax & VAT 3 65.60 3. Income Tax 2 85.17

Total 14 340.61 Cases filed by the Issuer Company: Nil For further details, please refer to section Outstanding Litigations and Material Developments on page no. 115 of this Draft Letter of Offer.

2. Outstanding contingent liabilities could adversely affect the financial condition and

profitability.

As of March 31, 2009, the company had contingent liabilities in the following amounts, as disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements:

Rs. in Lacs Sl. No. Particulars 2008-2009

1. Bank Guarantees 8.46 2. Bills Discounted with Banks 6,807.92 3. Letters of Credit opened in favour of suppliers 337.95 4. VAT tax Demand (Under Appeal) 8.62 5. Entry Tax (Under Appeal) 5.94 6. Central Sales Tax (Under Appeal) 8.88

Total 7,177.77

11

If any of these contingent liabilities materialize, the Company’s profitability may be adversely affected.

3. The Company’s growth depends upon the growth prospects of other industries, especially power and infrastructure related sectors. A slowdown in any of these industries would seriously impact the growth prospects and will have a material adverse impact on our results While development of core industries like power and infrastructure is a stated policy objective of the Government of India, it cannot be said with certainty that these industries would grow at a faster pace, or grow at all. Any slowdown or lack of growth in the power or infrastructure sectors, whether in the private or public sector, would have a material adverse impact on the demand and pricing of company’s products, which would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

4. Delay in Right Issue will impact the implementation of the Project A part of the cost of the project is to be funded from the Rights Issue. Any delay in the issue process or any under-subscription of Equity Shares offered as part of this issue will impact the implementation of the project. The management will make alternate funding arrangements through a suitable mix of secured/unsecured loans and internal accruals to fund the interim requirement in case there is any delay in the Rights Issue.

5. The Company is subject to the risk of price volatility and availability as regards both its finished products and the raw materials required for their production The financial condition and results of operations are significantly influenced by the market prices of the raw materials which are subject to domestic and international supply and demand, import/export tariffs and duties, domestic duties and various other factors which are beyond the company control. The market and prices for the Company’s finished products may be influenced by the aggregate demand for such products which may fluctuate with changes in economic conditions, the price and availability of equivalent products from competitors and the price and availability of substitute products among other factors. However, no assurance can be given that future unfavorable movements in the price of the various raw materials or a reduction in demand for the finished products will not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and results of operations.

6. The Company operates under several statutory and regulatory permits, licenses and

approvals. The failure to obtain and/or renew any approvals or licenses in future may have an adverse impact on the business operations. The Company requires certain statutory and regulatory permits and approvals for its business. There can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue such permits or renewals in the time frame anticipated by the Company or at all. Failure by the Company to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals or renewals may result in the interruption of operations and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the Company is required to adhere to certain terms and conditions provided for under the statutory and regulatory permits and approvals and any failure in adhering to such terms may result in the revocation of such approvals.

7. The Company has not yet placed orders for plant and machinery including misc fixed assets aggregating Rs. 6,464.12 Lacs. Any delay in placing the orders/ or supply of plant and machinery may result in time and cost overruns, and may affect profitability of the Company. The Company has estimated the requirement of plant and machinery including misc fixed assets based on quotations or internal estimates based on prevailing market prices of equipments. However, as on date of filing this Draft Letter of Offer with SEBI, the Company

12

has not placed confirmed orders amounting to Rs. 6,464.12 Lacs. The Company cannot assure that they would be able to acquire the plant and machinery required for the same, or acquire them at the prices as quoted/estimated in this Draft Letter of Offer. Any delay in acquisition of the plant and/or machinery required to be acquired herein could lead to time and cost overruns, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition.

8. The Company has certain restrictive covenants arising out of the loan agreements entered into with the banks/financial institutions, which may have an adverse impact on future borrowing capacity. There are restrictive covenants in the agreements with the Banks/ Institutions from whom the Company has borrowed, which among other things require the Company to obtain prior permission from them for change in Management, declaring dividend and undertaking of new project etc. which may limit Company’s discretion in these matters.

9. Common Pursuits amongst Group Companies Impex Ferro Tech Limited, promoted by Mr. Suresh Kumar Patni, is engaged in production of ferro alloys. Moreover, there is no non-compete agreement between the group companies. Such common pursuits may affect business strategies and thus the financial performance of Issuer Company.

10. The Company’s Promoter Group has significant control over the management and affairs, as a result of which, the remaining shareholders may not be able to affect the outcome of shareholder voting. As on December 31, 2009, the Promoter Group owned an aggregate of 52.90% of Equity Shares of the Company. As a result, the Promoter Group, acting together, will influence the matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of all or majority of Directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of substantially all of assets. The Promoter Group will therefore has the ability to exercise controlling influence over the company’s business and management affairs and may cause to take actions that may conflict with the interests of some of shareholders.

11. The Company’s success depends largely upon the services of Promoters and senior management. The inability to attract and retain senior management may adversely affect the operations of the Company. The Company depends heavily on its promoters and senior management for setting strategic direction and managing business, which are crucial to Company’s success. The continued success also depends upon the ability to attract and retain a large group of experienced professionals and staff. The loss of the services of senior management or company inability to recruit, train or retain a sufficient number of experienced personnel could have a material adverse effect on operations and profitability. The ability to retain experienced staff members as well as senior management will in part depend on the Company having in place appropriate staff remuneration and incentive schemes.

12. Labour problems could adversely affect the results of operations and financial condition of the Company The Company’s operations are labour intensive. The employees at the plants, other than management staff, are members of labour unions. Whilst the Company had no labour problems in the past, the Company cannot assure prospective investors that it would not have such problems and disputes in the future. Occurrence of such disruptions for a prolonged period of time may adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.

13

13. The Company’s business may be adversely affected by environmental and safety regulations to which it is subject.

The Company is required to comply with central, state and local laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment and occupational health and safety. The Company is also required to obtain and comply with environmental permits for some of its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will at all times be in complete compliance with such laws, regulations and permits. If the Company violates or fails comply with any of the requirements under any such laws, regulations and permits, it could be fined or face other regulatory actions. In addition, such requirements may become more stringent over time and compliance with such requirements may become cumbersome.

14. The Company ability to pay dividends will depend upon future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditure, lender’s approvals and other factors. The amount of the future dividend payments, if any, will depend upon the future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, lender’s approvals and other factors. There can be no assurance that the Company shall have distributable funds or that it will declare dividends.

15. The company has entered into related party transactions with the promoters and/or Directors and the Group Companies The company has entered into transactions with related/ group companies, promoters, directors including loans taken/advanced and purchase and sale of goods. Whilst the company believes that all such transactions have been conducted on an “arm’s length basis”, there can be no assurance that the company could not have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions not been entered into with related parties. Furthermore, it is likely that the company may enter into related party transactions in the future. For details regarding the related party transactions, refer to “Financial Statements – Related Party Transactions” on page 100 of this Draft Letter of Offer. Disclosure as per Accounting Standard 18 has been complied.

16. The operations of the Company rely on timely supply of raw materials and inputs to the plant and transportation of finished products to customers, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. The Company depends upon various forms of transport, such as seaborne freight, rail and road to receive raw materials and the same is as important to deliver the finished products to the customers. These transportation facilities may not adequately support the operations due to traffic congestion and unavailability of respective fleet. Further, disruptions of transportation services because of weather related problems, strikes, lock-outs, inadequacies in the road infrastructure and port facilities, or other events could impair the ability of the Company to source raw materials and components and its ability to supply products to customers. There can be no assurance that such disruptions will not occur in future. In addition, significant increases in transportation cost may adversely impact the financial results of the Company.

17. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as well as liquidity risk.

The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations in respect of the borrowings from Banks and Institutions. In the event of increase in interest rates, the financial performance of the Company may be adversely affected.

18. Uninsured losses or losses in excess of the insurance coverage could result in a loss of Investment Although the Company attempts to limit and mitigate the liability for damages arising from fire and other perils, burglary, etc. through contractual provisions and/or comprehensive insurance coverage for the manufacturing facilities but still there are possible losses, which have not insured or the insurance cover in relation to which may not be adequate. On the occurrence of such loss the company may face loss of investments in the absence of insurance and even in

14

cases in which any such loss may be insured or on the event when the company may not be able to recover the entire claim from insurance companies. Further, there are many events that could significantly impact the operations, or expose the company to third-party liabilities, for which it may not be adequately insured.

19. The Company has unsecured loans that are payable on demand, which may adversely affect its operations and financial performance.

The Company has unsecured loans which are repayable on demand and it cannot assure you that the Company would be able to replace these facilities on similar terms, or terms favorable to the Company, which may adversely impact on the company’s operations and financial performance. B. EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS

1. Global economic, political and social conditions may harm the Company’s ability to

do business, increase costs and negatively affect stock price. Global economic and political factors that are beyond the control of the Company, influence forecasts and directly affect performance. These factors include interest rates, rates of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies of governments, inflation, deflation, foreign exchange fluctuations, consumer credit availability, consumer debt levels, unemployment trends, terrorist threats and activities, worldwide military and domestic disturbances and conflicts, and other matters that influence consumer confidence, spending and tourism. Increasing volatility in financial markets may cause these factors to change with a greater degree of frequency and magnitude.

2. A slowdown in economic growth in India could materially and adversely affect results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The Company’s performance and the quality and growth of its business are dependent on the health of the overall Indian economy. There have been periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India during the 1990s as well in FY 2008-09. Although the services and industrial sectors of the economy are growing, the Indian economy remains largely driven by the performance of the agriculture sector, which depends on rainfall during the monsoon season and is therefore difficult to predict with certainty. The monsoons during the current financial year in certain areas of the country were deficient, which may adversely impact agricultural production. In the past, economic slowdowns have harmed industries. Any future slowdown in the Indian economy could thus harm the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

3. Any downgrading of India's debt rating by international rating agencies could have a negative impact on the Company’s business. Any adverse revisions to India's credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may adversely impact the Company’s ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business and future financial performance, the company’s ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the trading price of the Equity Shares.

4. Conditions in the securities markets may affect the price or liquidity of the Equity Shares. The Stock Exchanges have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. The Stock Exchanges have also experienced problems that have affected the market price and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies, such as temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by brokers. In addition, the governing bodies of the Stock Exchanges have from time to time restricted securities from trading, limited price movements and restricted margin requirements. Further, disputes have occurred on occasion between listed companies and the Stock Exchanges, and other regulatory bodies that, in some cases, have had a negative effect on market sentiment. If similar problems occur

15

in the future, the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares of the Company could be adversely affected.

5. After the Issue, the price of the Company’s Equity Shares may become highly volatile, or an active trading market for the Company Equity Shares may not develop. The price of the Company Equity Shares on the Indian Stock Exchanges may fluctuate after the Issue as a result of several factors, including: volatility in the Indian and global securities market; the company operations and performance; performance of competitors; the perception in the market with respect to investments in the sectors in which the Company operate in India; adverse media reports about the company or the sectors in which we operate; changes in the estimates of performance or recommendations by financial analysts; significant developments in India's economic liberalization and deregulation policies; and significant developments in India's fiscal regulations. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Equity Shares will be sustained after this Issue, or that the price at which the Equity Shares are being currently traded, or will trade on listing of the Equity Shares pursuant to the Issue, will correspond to the price at which the Equity Shares will trade in the market subsequent to the Issue.

6. Additional issuances of equity may dilute your share holding in the Company. Any future issuance of Equity Shares or securities linked to the company’s Equity Shares may dilute shareholding in the Company. Further, sale of a large number of Company’s Equity Shares by major shareholders could adversely affect the market price of company’s Equity Shares. Similarly, the perception that any such primary or secondary sale may occur could adversely affect the market price of company’s Equity Shares.

7. The Company’s plants can be affected by natural disasters and technical failures. Any such failures could adversely affect the operations of the Company. The operations of the Company plants can be affected by natural disasters and technical failures including malfunctioning or breakdown of equipment, which could adversely affect the business, financial condition and the operations of the Company.

2. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

3. The financial statements of the subsidiary, SKP Overseas Pte. Ltd., (incorporated in

Singapore), with total assets of Rs. 4685.77 Lacs as at 31st March, 2009, total revenue of Rs. 1.04 Lacs and total expenditure of Rs. 140.5 Lacs for the year ended on that date have not been audited by us. These financial statements have been audited by other auditor, whose report has been furnished to us, and in our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect of this subsidiary is based solely on the report of other auditor. However the financial statements of a Joint Venture, namely Rohit Persia Mines and Industries PJSC, are not considered for consolidation for the reasons cited in Note No. 1 of Schedule 22 of the Consolidated Financial Statement.

4. We report that the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Group in

accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standard (AS -21), “Consolidated Financial Statements” notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and on the basis of the separate audited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary.

5. Based on our audit and on consideration of the report of other auditor on separate financial

statements of the subsidiary, and on the basis of information and explanations given to us, we are of the opinion that the attached Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India.

In the case of joint holding, the beneficiary account should be opened carrying the names of the holders in the same order as with the Company).

The Equity Shares pursuant to this Issue allotted to investors opting for dematerialized form, would be directly credited to the beneficiary account as given in the CAF after verification. Allotment advice, refund order (if any) would be sent directly to the applicant by the Registrar to the Issue but the applicant’s depository participant will provide to him the confirmation of the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s depository account.
