ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LTD. 5 Annual Report 2011-12


DIRECTORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
Your Directors have the pleasure in presenting their Forty-ninth Annual Report of the Company
along with the Audited Accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2012.
1. FINANCIAL RESULTS
(Rs.000’s)
2011-2012 2010-2011
Sales & Other Income 406,403 425,028
Profit/(Loss) before tax (5,211) (21,571)
Less: Provision for tax Nil (25,426)
Profit/(Loss) after Tax (5,211) 3,855
Add: Unappropriated Profit of last year 67,571 63,716
Balance carried forward 62,360 67,571

2. OPERATIONS
During the year under review, Gross Sales of the Company were Rs.4022.96 Lacs as compared
to Rs.4234.19 Lacs in the previous year. For the year, your company has made a Gross loss
of Rs. 52.11 Lacs as against Gross Loss of Rs. 215.71 Lacs in the previous year. The Export
Sales were Rs. 797.46 Lacs as compared to Rs. 496.25Lacs in the previous year.
During the year under review the company’s plant situated at Guwahati was under Lock Out
from 7th December 2010 to 8th March 2012, detailed note is given under the heading ‘ Industrial
Relations’ in this report. Due to the lockout in Guwahati plant, the Company was completely
dependent on the import of carbon blocks (the “mother-material”) for almost the whole of the
year under review, however due to various measures taken internally for improvements in
operations, the loss before tax was reduced from 2.15 crores (the PBT of the previous year) to
52.11 lacs this year.
Since the Guwahati factory is now operational, it is expected that the results of the company
will be considerably better in the coming years.
3 FUTURE OUTLOOK
There was a slow down in the economic growth in the FY 2011-2012 and India achieved a
GDP growth of 8.6% for the year ended 31st March 2012. Growth expected to remain moderate
in the FY 2012-2013 unless substantial policy measures are undertaken. Inflation and Capital
Runaway has been the two main factors hurting the Indian Economy. GDP growth is unlikely
to improve during the year 2012-2013 and is expected to grow @ 7%.
Your company however has made plans for growth in the future by leveraging its strong
market position in its traditional products and by penetrating into markets where formerly it’s
presence was not large. This is expected to help its plans for growth in Sales and also in the
bottom line.
4. DIVIDEND
Your Directors do not recommend payment of any dividend in view of the loss made during the
year under review.

ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LTD. 6 Annual Report 2011-12

Mr Ron Marno and Mr Neil Hoyland retire by rotation at the ensuing Annual General Meeting

9. INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
During the year under review, the company’s factory at Guwahati was under Lock Out. The
Industrial relations at the Guwahati factory had remained strained with continuous agitations
by the workmen in the form of Go Slow, and frequent illegal Karmabiroti Strikes. In spite of the
Management’s tolerance and efforts to keep the Guwahati plant running, while trying to convince
the workmen on the necessity to increase productivity, the situation steadily deteriorated with
the ongoing Go Slow, and the illegal Strikes. This affected the operation so much, that ultimately
the Management had no other option but to declare a Lock Out of the Guwahati plant from
December 7th, 2010 onward. After long rounds of negotiation with the Union, the Lock Out was
lifted on 9th March 2012.
Your company is pleased to inform that in spite of major Industrial unrest at Guwahati, Industrial
Relations at the Patancheru factory and the Kolkata office remained normal and peaceful for
the year under review.

ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LTD. 9 Annual Report 2011-12


AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LIMITED

1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Assam Carbon Products Limited (‘the
Company’) as at 31 March 2012 and also the related Statement of Profit and Loss and the
Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on that date, annexed thereto. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
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. As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003 (‘the Order’), issued by the
Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act,
1956, (‘the Act’), we enclose in the Annexure a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs
4 and 5 of the said Order.
4. We draw your attention to the following:
a. Included in Inventories is ‘work-in-progress’ amounting to Rs. 16,333 thousands (previous
year Rs 20,015 thousands). The valuation of work-in-progress inventories does not
include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads as required
by paragraph 8 of Accounting Standard 2: Valuation of Inventories. Also, we note that
items of finished goods amounting to Rs. 11,659 thousands (previous year Rs 9,129
thousand) are valued at standard cost which is not in line with the requirements of
paragraph 18 of Accounting Standard 2: Valuation of Inventories.
We are unable to satisfy ourselves regarding adjustments, if any, which will be required
to the values of closing work-in-progress and finished goods inventories as at 31 March
2012 and its consequent impact on increase/decrease in inventories of finished goods
and work in progress and loss for the year ended 31 March 2012.
b. As more fully explained in Note 25(ii), the Company has not established a provision for
employee wages and benefits for the lock out period at the Company’s Guwahati Factory
during the years 2007-2008 and for the subsequent lock out period from 7 December
2010 to 8 March 2012 on the principle of ‘No Work No Pay’. The labour matter is sub-
judice and hence the impact, if any, in terms of provision of employee wages and employee
benefits and its resultant impact on loss for the year ended 31 March 2012, reserves and
surplus and current liabilities cannot currently be determined. Our report in the previous
year was also modified with respect to the above matter.
c. The Central Government has approved the payment of remuneration to the non-executive
Chairman subject to 1 % of the net profit of the Company for the year ended 31 March
2012 as computed under section 198 of the Companies Act, 1956. The Company, during
the period 1April 2011 to 31 March 2012, has paid remuneration amounting to Rs. 1,500
thousands to the non-executive Director in excess of the Central Government approvals.

ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LTD. 10 Annual Report 2011-12


The Company is planning to file an application with the Central Government for approval
of aforesaid remuneration paid/ payable to the non executive director.
5. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we report that:
(a) subject to our comments in paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b), we have obtained all the information
and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the
purposes of our audit;
(b) subject to our comments in paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b), in our opinion, proper books of
account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appears from our
examination of the books;
(c) the Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement dealt with
by this report are in agreement with the books of account;
(d) subject to our comments in paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b), in our opinion the Balance Sheet,
Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement dealt with by this report comply
with the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the
Companies Act, 1956;
(e) on the basis of written representations received from the Directors of the Company as at
31 March 2012, and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we report that none of the
Directors is disqualified as on 31 March 2012 from being appointed as a Director in
terms of Section 274(1)(g) of the Companies Act, 1956; and
(f) subject to our comments in paragraphs 4(a), 4(b) and 4(c) above, in our opinion and to
the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the said
accounts give the information required by the Companies Act, 1956, in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India:
i) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at
31 March 2012;
ii) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the loss for the year ended on that
date; and

ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LTD. 11 Annual Report 2011-12


Annexure referred to in paragraph 3 of the Auditors’ Report to the Members of Assam Carbon
Products Limited on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2012

(i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars, including
quantitative details and situation of fixed assets.

(b) The Company has a regular programme of physical verification of its fixed assets by
which all fixed assets are verified in a phased manner over a period of 2 years. In our
opinion, this periodicity of physical verification is reasonable having regard to the size of
the Company and the nature of its assets. No material discrepancies were identified on
such verification.

(c) Fixed assets disposed off during the year were not substantial, and therefore, do not
affect the going concern assumption.

(ii) (a) The inventory, except for goods in transit and stocks lying with third parties, have been
physically verified by the management during the year. In our opinion, the frequency of
such verification is reasonable. For stocks lying with third parties at the year end, written
confirmations have been obtained.

(b) According to the information and explanations given to us, the procedures for the physical
verification of inventories followed by the management are reasonable and adequate in
relation to the size of the Company and the nature of its business.

(c) In our opinion, maintenance of inventory records needs to be further improved as regards
timely updation of the value of work in progress and finished goods inventory. The
discrepancies noticed on verification between the physical stocks and the book records
were not material

(iii) According to the information and explanations given to us, the Company has neither granted
nor taken any loans, secured or unsecured, to or from companies, firms or other parties
covered in the register maintained under Section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956.

(iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, and having
regard to the explanation that purchases of certain items of inventories and fixed assets are
for the Company’s specialised requirements and similarly certain goods sold are for the
specialised requirements of the buyers and suitable alternative sources are not available to
obtain comparable quotations, there is an adequate internal control system commensurate
with the size of the Company and the nature of its business with regard to purchase of
inventories and fixed assets and with regard to sale of goods and services. In our opinion and
according to the information and explanations given to us, there is no continuing failure to
correct major weaknesses in internal control system.

(v) (a) According to the information and explanations given to us, the particulars of contracts or
arrangements referred to in section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956 have been entered

ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LTD. 12 Annual Report 2011-12


in the register required to be maintained under that section.

(b) According to the information and explanations given to us, the transactions made in
pursuance of contracts and arrangements referred to in (v)(a) above and exceeding the
value of Rs. 5 lakhs with any party during the year, have been made at prices which are
reasonable having regard to the prevailing market prices at the relevant time except for
purchases of certain items of inventories and fixed assets which are for the Company’s
specialised requirements and similarly for sale of certain goods which are for the
specialised requirements of the buyers and for which suitable alternative sources are
not available to obtain comparable quotations. However, on the basis of information and
explanations provided, the same appear reasonable.

(vi) According to the information and explanations given to us, the Company has not accepted any
deposits from the public during the year.

(vii) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us, the Company
has an internal audit system commensurate with the size and nature of its business. The

ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LTD. 19 Annual Report 2011-12


Notes to financial statements

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


i. Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost
convention on the accrual basis of accounting following generally accepted accounting
principles in India (‘GAAP’) and comply with the Accounting Standards prescribed by the
Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, and the presentational requirement of
the Companies Act, 1956, to the extent applicable.

During the year ended 31 March 2012, the revised Schedule VI notified under the
Companies Act has become applicable to the Company for the preparation and
presentation of its financial statements. While the adoption of revised Schedule VI does
not impact the recognition and measurement principles followed for the presentation of
financial statements, it has significant impact on presentation and disclosure
requirements. The Company has also re-classed the previous year figures in accordance
with the requirements applicable in the current year more described under note 41. All
assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non current as per Company’s
normal operating cycle and other criteria set out in revised Schedule VI of the Companies
Act, 1956. The Company has ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose
of current and non current classification of assets and liabilities.

ii. Use of estimates


The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of the financial
statements and results of operation during the year. Differences between actual results
and estimates are recognised in the year in which the results are known or materialised.
Examples of such estimates are estimated useful life of assets, provision for doubtful
debts, retirement benefits, etc. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any
revision to accounting estimates is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.

iii. Fixed assets


Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition (net of CENVAT) less accumulated
depreciation. Cost of acquisition includes taxes, duties, freight and other costs that are
directly attributable to bringing assets to their working condition for their intended use.

iv. Depreciation / Amortisation


Depreciation on tangible fixed assets is provided under straight line method over useful
lives of fixed assets, as estimated by the management. Useful lives so estimated are in
line with the useful lives derived from depreciation rates prescribed by Schedule XIV to
the Companies Act, 1956. Depreciation on additions/ deletions are provided on pro rata
basis in the year of purchase/ disposal.

ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LTD. 20 Annual Report 2011-12


Assets individually costing upto Rs. 5,000 are depreciated fully in the year of acquisition.

Intangible fixed assets


Application software is amortised over the estimated economic useful life of 6 years.

v. Impairment
The carrying amounts of fixed assets and capital work in progress are reviewed at each
balance sheet date in accordance with Accounting Standard 28 on ‘Impairment of Assets’,
prescribed by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, to determine whether
there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable
amounts of assets are estimated at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognised
whenever the carrying amount of an asset or the cash generating unit of which it is a part,
exceeds the corresponding recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in
the statement of profit and loss. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a
change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss
is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the
carrying amount that would have been determined net of depreciation or amortisation, if
no impairment loss had been recognised.

vi. Investments
Long term investments are stated at cost less amount written off, where there is a
diminution in value, other than temporary.

Current investments are stated at lower of cost and fair value.

vii. Inventories
Raw materials, stores and spare parts are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable
value. Cost includes purchase price, duties and taxes, freight and other expenditure
incurred in bringing such inventories to their present location and condition. In determining
cost, weighted average method is used. The carrying costs of raw materials, stores and
spare parts are appropriately written down when there is a decline in replacement cost
of such materials and the finished products, in which they will be incorporated, are
expected to be sold below cost.

Work in progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable
value. Cost comprises of direct material, labour expenses and an appropriate portion of
production overheads incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and
condition. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of
the production facilities. In determining cost, weighted average method is used.

Traded finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Excise duty liability is included in the value of closing inventory of finished goods

ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LTD. 21 Annual Report 2011-12


viii. Revenue
Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of
ownership in the goods are transferred to customers and it is not unreasonable to
expect ultimate collection of the sale consideration that is being recognised as revenue.

ix. Income from Government Grant


Grants and subsidies from the government are recognized when there is reasonable
assurance that the grant/subsidy will be received and all attaching conditions will be
complied with.

When the grant or subsidy relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over
the periods necessary to match them on a systematic basis to the costs, which it is
intended to compensate. Where the grant or subsidy relates to depreciable assets,
grants are treated as deferred income which is recognised in the statement of Profit and
Loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset. Such allocation
to income is usually made over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation
on related assets is charged.

x. Foreign exchange transactions


Foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the books of the Company at the exchange
rate prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Year-end monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the year-end foreign exchange rates.

Exchange differences arising on settlements/ year-end translations are recognised in


the statement of Profit and Loss for the year.

xi. Employee benefits


The Company’s obligations towards various employee benefits have been recognised
as follows:

Short term benefits


All employee benefits payable/available within twelve months of rendering the service
are classified as short-term employee benefits. Benefits such as salaries, wages and
bonus, etc, are recognised in the statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which
employee renders the related service.

Post employment benefits


a) Monthly contributions to Provident Funds which are in the nature of defined
contribution schemes are charged to statement of Profit and Loss and deposited
with the Provident Fund administered through the Company’s trust on a monthly
basis

b) The administration of the gratuity scheme which is in the nature of defined benefit
plan, has been entrusted to Life Insurance Corporation of India (‘LIC’). Annual
charge is recognised on the basis of actuarial valuation of the related obligation
and plan assets conducted by an independent actuary appointed by the Company

ASSAM CARBON PRODUCTS LTD. 22 Annual Report 2011-12


at the Balance Sheet date. Actuarial gain or losses for the year are recognized in
the statement of Profit and Loss as income or expense.

Other long term benefits


Cost of long term benefit by way of accumulating compensated absences are recognised
when the employees render the service that increases their entitlement to future
compensated absences. Such costs are recognised based on actuarial valuation of the
Company’s year end obligation in this regard by an independent actuary.

xii. Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current tax, (i.e. amount of taxes for the year determined
in accordance with the Income-Tax Act, 1961) and deferred tax charge or credit (reflecting
the tax effects of timing differences between accounting income and taxable income for
the year). The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities
or assets are recognised using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the Balance Sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that
such assets can be realised in future. However, in case of unabsorbed depreciation or
carried forward loss under tax laws, deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is a
virtual certainty of realisation of such assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed as at
each Balance Sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is
reasonably / virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realised.

xiii. Provisions and contingent liabilities


A provision is recognised in the financial statements where there exists a present
obligation as a result of a past event, the amount of which can be reliably estimated and
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be necessary to settle the obligation.

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 Company and / 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 the amount of the obligation cannot be reliably estimated.

xiv. Operating leases


Lease payments under operating lease arrangements are recognised as expense in
the statement of Profit and Loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

xv. Earnings per share


Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of equity
shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the
weighted average number of equity and dilutive equity equivalent shares outstanding at
the year end, except where the results would be anti dilutive.

27 The Company has established a comprehensive system of maintenance of information and

- Tax Act, 1961. Since the law requires the existence of such information and documentation to
be contemporaneous in nature, the Company is in the process of updating the documentation
of the International transactions entered into with the associated enterprises from 1 April 2011
to 31 March 2012 and expects such records to be in existence within the due date. The
management is of the opinion that its international transaction are at arm’s length so that the

amount of tax expense and that of provision for taxation.
