Item No. 11:
The Company has on October 29, 2012 and November 19, 2012 issued 200, 5.5% Unsecured Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (‘‘FCCB”) due 2017 of USD 1,00,000 each aggregating USD 20 million. As per the terms of the FCCB, the Company has fixed the Conversion Price of Rs. 22.50 per equity shares with a fixed rate of exchange of Rs. 53.7350 to USD 1.00 and Bonds are convertible at any time on or before October 29, 2017 by holders of the Bonds into the Company's fully paid equity shares with full voting rights with a par value of Rs. 10 each on the terms described in the Offering Circular dated 29 October 2012 at the option of the Bondholder. If not converted, the company is required to redeem each bond at 100% of its principle amount on October 30, 2017. The USD 20 million (“Proceeds”) that was raised from the FCCB offering was deposited in the escrow account opened by the Company. The Company used all these proceeds from the issue of the Bonds towards the capital expenditure of the Company, overseas direct investment in joint ventures and any other use, as permitted under applicable statutory and/or regulatory requirements from time to time.
Consequent to the issue of the FCCB, due to recessionary trends and subdued domestic and global demand for metcoke, the market price per equity shares of the Company declined. The alignment of the conversion price to the current market price will enable the Company to pursue with the FCCB investors to convert the FCCB into equity shares rather than waiting for the redemption of the FCCB till maturity. Further, based on the abovementioned circumstances the Company is proposing to reset the Conversion Price of the Bonds mentioned in the Offering Circular.
The Company proposes to revise the conversion price including, if required, by amending the terms and conditions of the FCCB, as it would be beneficial for the Company.
The minimum reset conversion price is worked out as average of the weekly high and low of the closing price of the equity shares of the Company quoted on NSE, where there is higher volume, during the two weeks preceding the date of the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company i.e. 14th August, 2014.The minimum price worked out as above is Rs. 10.81. Accordingly, it has been proposed to reset the conversion price from Rs. 22.50 per share to Rs. 12.00 per share subject to the approval of shareholders and other regulatory authoriies.
The proposed transaction will help the Company in aligning its capital structure across all debt holders, in having the flexibility to combat the medium term challenges in its business environment, in removing the threat of acceleration on all its debt facilities and in having a significant cash net savings. This would also provide the Company necessary financial flexibility in the current business environment. For revision of the Conversion price of the FCCB, the shareholders of the Company must pass a resolution to this effect.
The Board recommends the resolution set out in item no. 11 of the notice for your approval.
None of the Directors or Key Managerial Personnel of the Company and/or their relatives are deemed to be concerned or interested, financially or otherwise in this resolution.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year under review, the Total Income from operations was Rs.1250.64 Crores as compared to Rs 1751.94 Crores in the previous year. The Company has suffered net loss of Rs. 560.81 crores during the year, as compared to the Profit of Rs. 30.98crores during the previous year.
Steel industry, which is the largest consumer of coking coal and metcoke, continued to reel through extreme recessionary trends which has resulted in subdued demand of metcoke and also dragged its realizations to rock bottom levels. This had resulted in huge built up of inventories of coking coal and metcoke impacting the cash flows in the business.
In view of these adversities, Corporate Debt Restructuring Empowered Group (CDR EG), upon being approached by the Company, have approved CDR Package in March, 2014 under Corporate Debt Restructuring mechanism (CDR) issued by Reserve Bank of India.
The key features of CDR Package are given in detail in the Notes to the Financial Statements forming part of this Annual Report.
DIVIDEND
In view of the losses incurred, the Board does not recommend any dividend.

BUSINESS PLANS
The market for metcoke continued to remain sluggish during the year under review due to dwindling demand from Steel industry, the major user of metcoke. This had severely impacted realisations of our products.
Due to the market imbalances and the continued global economic slowdown, the Company has been facing liquidity constraints. This has resulted in the Company realigning its debts under CDR mechanism through CDR Package. The Company plans to gradually increase its capacity utilization along with its turnover and margins in a phased manner.
The Company's projects for generation of power from waste heat emanating from its Coke Oven Plants in the States of Karnataka and Gujarat had to be temporarily shelved during the year under review due to liquidity constraints. However, during 2014-15 the project at Dharwad in Karnataka is proposed to be revived as it is at an advanced stage of completion. The Company is presently generating power through non polluting method i.e. through wind turbine generators having capacity to generate 87.5 MW of power.
SUBSIDIARIES
During the year, Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (Jindal Group) had acquired majority stake in Gujarat NRE Coking Coal Ltd. (GNCCL), erstwhile Australian mining subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, GNCCL along with its three subsidiaries viz. Gujarat NRE Wonga Pty Ltd, Gujarat NRE Resources NL and Southbulli

. Due to the continued slowdown in the domestic and global market, the operations of the company were severely impacted.

ii. In respect of auditors' observation in standalone financial statements regarding delay in depositing statutory dues, as per para (ix) of Annexure to Auditors Report, with the appropriate authorities :

Management Discussion & Analysis
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS
ECONOMY
Global economic activities experienced a slight uptick in the secondhalf of 2013 which is expected to follow through in 2014. Thepositive signs first, which came from easing of financial conditionsin advanced countries due to the declining short term risksassociated with crisis hit euro-economies and fiscal adjustments in US economy. However, growth in the emerging economiesremained unenthusiastic with tight financial conditions and lowdemand raising the need for structural reforms and policy impetus.
The global growth in 2014 is expected to be much better than what has been experienced in 2013. The current year is expected to be initiating the revival as we have already seen euro area turning from recession to recovery and the United States catching up the growth momentum. The global economy is expected to grow by 3.4% in 2014 and further by 3.9% in 2015 which would be by far the highest in recent years when compared to 2.8% in 2013, 3.0% in 2012 and 3.4% in 2011 according to an OECD study.
As the developed economies are expected to perform, the emerging economies are also expected to grow, albeit slowly. Chinese growth would almost remain the same at around 7.5% in 2014. In India growth is expected to be stronger in the latter half of 2014 moving into 2015. According to a World Bank report, Indian economy is expected to grow at around 5.5% in fiscal 2014-15, accelerating to 6.3% in 2015-16 and 6.6% in 2016-17. Strong structural policies supporting investment is expected to result in an improvement in Indian growth in later half of 2014 and in 2015 compared to the weak performance experienced in last few years. The biggest challenge for the new government is to address the ease of doing business in the country and to revive the business sentiment which has been at its low. Among other issues, continued fiscal consolidation, fast track implementation of large infrastructure projects and investments, tax reforms would be some of the priority areas for the country.
The biggest challenge that policy makers world over face is supporting robust growth and a balanced global recovery as well as managing vulnerabilities and sustaining the job market. Thepolicy makers need to have a coordinated approach to mitigateany negative spill-over, curb protectionism, ensure resource flow to the developing and emerging economies to avoid derailment of the feeble recovery that the world is currently experiencing. The developing economies need to aggressively address their structural issues to boost domestic demand, facilitate investmentand take benefit of the growing market in the developed countries. External factors like the crisis in Ukraine, tension in middle-east, or a bad monsoon in India may tilt the scales of thefragile recovery.
WORLD COKING COAL AND METALLURGICAL COKE INDUSTRY
Metallurgical coke prices have been on a continuous fall and have been below the lows of 2009. There has been a sharp decline in price in 2013-14 as experts belief that there is no further room for rate cut as the price seems to have been bottomed out. With the removal of export tax by China from January 2013, Chinese coke is available to Indian, Japanese and Brazil markets. The export prices since then have also been greatly dependent on the domestic coke price of China. However the biggest concern in the global coke market has been the lack of demand. Stagnation of growth in India coupled with slowdown in growth in China has led to absence of demand resulting in the prices stumbling.
There exists a strong correlation between coking coal and metallurgical coke. Coking coal prices have also been on a steep
fall from the highs of $330 per tonne in 2011 to $120 per tonne in 2014. The long drawn recession in the global market has led to a lack of demand of coking coal. Low demand and weak sentiments had been the trademark of the Asian coking coal market. Chinese steel mills not buying on the back of high inventory and lack of demand from Indian and Japanese market coupled with coking coal from USA and Canada available cheap in Asian markets have kept the price of coking coal at its bottom.
The expectation of a revival in the global economy does come with a silver lining. It is believed that Indian demand is going to increase in the latter half of 2014 as also demand in developed and other emerging countries expected to pick up. Also in the supply side, recent production cuts in Canada, Australia and the US were finally visible in the Chinese spot market recently with fewer cargoes being on offer presently than before. With such supply side corrections and increase in demand as steel production picks up, the coking coal market is expected to see a revival in the months to come. Experts believe that the coking coal market might see a revival in the latter half of 2014 with prices increasing.
DOMESTIC MET COKE INDUSTRY
Indian economy has been passing through one of its challenging times for last couple of years. Manufacturing sector is suffering on account of lack of domestic demand and consumption, infrastructure projects failing to take off and over all a weak business sentiment had been the characteristics of Indian economy in the last year. Indian steel mills have been looking for the export market buoyed by a favourable exchange rate, due to absence of a robust domestic demand. Lack of steel consumption resulting into lower growth in steel production had a direct effect on the demand for coking coal and met coke in India. Met coke production remained almost the same as in last year (2012-13) with no increase in imports as well.
There is an expectation of a turnaround in the Indian economy from end of 2014 and into 2015. An expectation of return of the feel good factor is palpable in the air as better economic conditions coupled with accelerating global outlook is expected to return in Indian economy in the latter half of 2014. With economy expected to return stronger growth steel demand is expected to be higher to around 5% in the year 2014-15 and potentially 10% in 2015-16. Leading steel producers in India expect to raise production with steel prices to remain stable in 2014, thus overall domestic steel demand will grow faster with economic revival.
Increase in steel demand would certainly raise the demand for met coke. Met coke price in the domestic market is expected to strengthen with increasing demand. It is expected that there would be potentially an additional shortfall of around 1.5-2 MT of met coke going forward in 2015 which would have to be met by merchant coke producers or through imports.
OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS
The biggest opportunity lies in the growing middle class in India and in its burgeoning demand. The ever growing challenge of meeting the incremental domestic demand is bound to fuel growth. Indian growth being based on internal consumption does not have to depend on external economies for selling its product. Though no country can insulate itself from the global shocks in today's liberalised economy, however the growth here is more sustainable. The formation of a stable government at the centre also raises hope of structural reforms and policy corrections required for faster growth of the economy. With the revival in global economy, demand multiplies, and since prices will not remain subdued for long, the met coke industry has a host of opportunities.
GUJARAT NRE COKE LIMITED

Various external factors like global recession, eurozone crisis act as major threats to the met coke & coking coal industry as it does to any other commodity market. The extreme volatility in price adds to the uncertainty. Certain unexpected international & domestic developments like the abolition of 40% export tax by China or the imposition of mining ban in South India are a few threats facing the industry.
COMPANY'S PERFORMANCE
The income from operations was lower at Rs.932.38 crores in the year under review as compared to Rs.1713.04 crores during the previous year and consequently, the net loss during the year under review was reported at Rs. 560.81 crores as compared to net profit of Rs. 30.98 crores during the previous year. Accordingly, both the Basic & Diluted earnings per share of the Company were reported at nil respectively, for the year under review as compared to Rs.0.52 respectively, during the previous year.
SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE & OUTLOOK
Coal & Coke
Coking coal and Coke segment has been at the core of the operations of the Company contributing around 90% of the total turnover during the year under review. Net Sales/income from this segment for the year under review amounted to Rs. 832.74 crores as compared to Rs.1495.74 crores in the previous year.
Steel
Steel segment contributes around 10% to the total turnover. It achieved a turnover of Rs. 99.68 crores during the year under review as compared to Rs.217.63 crores during previous year.
The Company is generating power through its Wind Turbines and is in the final stages of commissioning co-generation power plants to produce electricity from waste heat. This would help the Company to reduce its power costs and ensure regular supply of clean power to its production facilities.
Outlook
The market conditions are expected to remain volatile during 2014-15. However, we are seeing early signs of some hope of revival in the general economic & market conditions considering the formation of new government at the Centre. Any uptrend in economic activity would pull the prices up the curve with increased market activity & demand. The prices of coking coal and metcoke are believed to have been bottomed out with minimal downside risk, and any further movement is expected to move upwards.
RISKS & CONCERNS
Our businesses and operations are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which are similar to any other company in general and also common to the industry to which we belong. Some of the key risks and uncertainties affecting the company are set forth below. Any of these risks has the potential of causing the actual operating results in future to vary materially from the current results or from anticipated future results.
a) Commodity Price Risk : The Company is exposed to the risk of price fluctuations on raw materials and finished goods. However, considering the normal correlation in the prices of raw material i.e coking coal and finished good i.e. met coke, this risk gets reduced / adjusted over a period of time.
b) Production Risk : Coking coal, the critical raw material required for manufacture of met coke is in short supply internationally resulting in uncertainty in its availability and
consequently, its prices. Timely availability of raw material at reasonable prices is therefore, critical for survival in this industry.
c) Forex Risk : The company like any other company operating in global markets is subject to Forex Risk. The Company however, has a policy to hedge its foreign exchange risk within the defined parameters. However, such hedging does not assure avoidance of any losses due to sudden and/or substantial volatility in currency markets.
d) Risk from Natural Calamities: Any act of nature detrimental to the smooth functioning of production of metallurgical coke in India, can adversely affect the performance of the Company.
e) Political Risk : Any risk arising due to any major change in policy decisions on account of change in Government, Legislative bodies etc. such as levy of any additional duty etc. on the product produced by the company may affect the results of the company.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND ITS ADEQUACY
The Company's internal control systems are commensurate with the nature, size and complexities of its business and ensure proper safeguarding of assets, maintaining proper accounting records and providing reliable financial statements.
The Company has an internal audit system which is conducted by an independent firm of Chartered Accountants as well as a strong in house internal audit cell so as to cover various operations on regular basis through the year. Summarised Internal Audit Observations/ Reports are reviewed by the Audit Committee on a regular basis. The finance and accounts functions of the Company are well staffed with qualified and experienced members.
HUMAN RESOURCES
The company considers its people as its most important resource. All employees of Gujarat NRE are considered leaders and encouraged to take responsibility to do their best that they can while meeting business needs. Our strength lies in our human pool of resources and our success is largely dependent on them. The Company therefore, focuses on developing its talent pool and its employee capability through increased emphasis on learning and skill upgradation job rotation, multi skilling and inter plant sharing of experiences. Critical skills identification and ramp up planning continues at the operating level. The Company continuously reviews its policies/practices with a view to make them more contemporary and uniform in application and this is an ongoing process. To improve quality of work life, medical, transport facilities, welfare and recreational facilities have been reviewed and upgraded. All these efforts had an impact on reducing the attrition levels at our plants and offices. Cordial industrial relations prevailed across the Company and its subsidiaries during the year under review.

[28.3] In the year 2007, the company and Armada Singapore Pte Ltd (“Armada”) entered into five year charter party agreement which provided, inter alia, for Armada to provide vessels to ship the company's tonnage, namely coal from various destinations worldwide. During the year 2009 Armada entered into Judicial Management, a Singaporean insolvency regime. As a result of Armada's insolvency, the Company did not make further nominations since there was no assurance or security for Armada's performance for the balance period under the agreement.In the year 2010 Armada filed its claim submission in an arbitration proceeding against the company in London for the year 2009 and 2010 and after all the repetitive challenges by the company w.r.t the defect in constitution of the Tribunal, the Tribunal passed an award in favour of Armada assessing the liability of the company as equivalent to Rs. 46 Crores (including interest of Rs. 3.7 Crores).Aggrieved by the aforesaid order the company has filed a civil suit against Armada with the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta claiming fordamages for an amount of Rs 144 Crores and cancellation of the aforesaid award being void and restraining Armada from giving any effectto the award passed by the Tribunal. An order was passed by the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta restraining Armada to take any furthersteps to enforce the award passed by the Tribunal in India. The matter is presently sub judice before the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta.Meanwhile Armada executed an enforcement proceeding before the Federal Court of Australia, New South Wales which passed a freezing order of the assets held by the company in Australia. The company had challenged such enforcement proceedings before the same court and the final judgment is reserved by the court and is pending till date.Armada later on filed its claim submission against the company for the non-performance of contract for the year 2011 before the same arbitral tribunal in London which passed a further award in favour of Armada assessing the liability of the company as equivalent to Rs.25.4 Crores (including interest of Rs. 1.2 Crores). An appeal was filed by the company against said order before High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division, Commercial Court in England which is pending before the said court. Thereafter, a petition was filed in High Court at Calcutta against the said award of the arbitral tribunal for its cancellation. Affidavit in oppositions were filed by both the parties and the matter is presently sub judice before the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta.During the year 2012, the company sought performance under the agreement from Armada, who failed to perform as per the terms of the agreement, which event was taken as repudiation of the agreement and the agreement was terminated. On the contrary, Armada filed another claim in March 2013 for non-performance for the year 2012 for an amount equivalent to Rs. 27 Crores and interest thereupon. The company has filed a counter claim for an amount equivalent to Rs 60 Crores and strongly opposed the claim of Armada before a newly constituted Arbitral Tribunal. The Arbitration hearing was held in London in the month of December 2013 and the order was published in January 2014 wherein the argument of Armada in regard to five vessels out of six vessels nominated by Armada in 2012 was turned down by the Tribunal. As per the order the precise quantum of the claim in regard to one vessel which Armada succeeded will be determined jointly by the expert of both parties. The determination of such quantum is pending.

27.2 Greenearth Resources & Projects Limited (formerly known as Austral Coke & Projects Limited) had filed a defamation suit in Hon'ble Bombay High Court against the Company for Rs.600 Crores. The Company had also filed Civil Suit in Hon'ble Calcutta High Court against Austral Coke & Projects Limited, all its Directors, its merchant bankers and Auditors and others claiming for loss of damages worth Rs.4761 crores. Management is confident that outcome of the defamation suit filed by the Austral Coke & Projects Limited would be in favour of the company.
27.3 In the year 2007, the company and Armada Singapore Pte Ltd (“Armada”) entered into five year charter party agreement which provided, inter alia, for Armada to provide vessels to ship the company's tonnage, namely coal from various destinations worldwide. During the year 2009 Armada entered into Judicial Management, a Singaporean insolvency regime. As a result of Armada's insolvency, the Company did not made further nominations since there was no assurance or security for Armada's performance for the balance period under the agreement.
In the year 2010 Armada filed its claim submission in an arbitration proceeding against the company in London for the year 2009 and 2010 and after all the repetitive challenges by the company w.r.t the defect in constitution of the Tribunal, the Tribunal passed an order in favour of Armada assessing the liability of the company as equivalent to Rs. 46 cr (including interest of Rs. 3.7 cr).
Aggrieved by the aforesaid order the company has filed a civil suit against Armada with the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta claiming for damages for an amount of Rs 144 crores and cancellation of the aforesaid order being void and restraining Armada from giving any effect to the order passed by the Tribunal. An order was passed by the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta restraining Armada to take any further steps to enforce the award passed by the Tribunal in India. The matter is presently sub judice before the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta.
Meanwhile Armada executed an enforcement proceeding before the Federal Court of Australia, New South Wales which passed a freezing order of the assets held by the company in Australia. The company had challenged such enforcement proceedings before the same court and the final judgment is reserved by the court and is pending till date.
Armada later on filed its claim submission against the company for the non-performance of contract for the year 2011 before the same arbitral tribunal in London which passed a further award in favour of Armada assessing the liability of the company as equivalent to Rs.25.4 Crores (including interest of Rs. 1.2 Crores). An appeal was filed by the company against said order before High Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division, Commercial Court in England which is pending before the said court. Thereafter, a petition was filed in High Court at Calcutta against the said award of the arbitral tribunal for its cancellation. Affidavit in oppositions were filed by both the parties and the matter is presently sub judice before the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta.
During the year 2012, the company sought performance under the agreement from Armada, who failed to perform as per the terms of the agreement, which event was taken as repudiation of the agreement and the agreement was terminated. On the contrary, Armada filed another claim in March 2013 for non-performance for the year 2012 for an amount equivalent to Rs. 27 Crores and interest thereupon. The company has filed a counter claim for an amount equivalent to Rs 60 Crores and strongly opposed the claim of Armada before a newly constituted Arbitral Tribunal.

GUJARAT NRE COKE LIMITED
The Arbitration hearing was held in London in the month of December 2013 and the order was published in January 2014 wherein the argument of Armada in regard to five vessels out of six vessels nominated by Armada in 2012 was turned down by the Tribunal. As per the order the precise quantum of the claim in regard to one vessel which Armada succeeded will be determined jointly by the expert of both parties. The determination of such quantum is pending.
27.4 In September 2011 the company and Coeclerici Asia (Pte) Ltd (“Coeclerici”) entered into an agreement of sale and purchase of met coke as per which the company had to supply the cargo to Ceoclerici at a mutually agreed price by 31st Mar 2012. As per the terms of the agreement Coeclerici made an advance of USD 10 million to the company in Sept 2011. Owing to the sluggish market conditions, the parties could not arrive at a mutually agreed price, as such no cargo was supplied by 31.03.2012 and the entire advance of USD 10 million was required to be refunded by the company to Coeclerici.The company has already refunded USD 2 million till Sept'12 to Coeclerici and for the balance refund of USD 8 million, the company is awaiting the approval from Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”).
The company does not dispute the repayment of the balance amount to Coeclerici but has been unable to make any further payment until RBI approval. However, to secure its payment position, Coeclerici proceeded with the arbitration in London by filing its claim against the company. After all the arbitration proceedings, the Tribunal finally passed its order on against the company for an amount equivalent to Rs. 46.2 cr and interest thereupon.
The Amount of advance received is already accounted for under Advance received from Customers.
27.5 The company had filed proceedings before the High Court, Calcutta against Gregarious Estates Incorporated (“Gregarious” or “Owners”), Gabriel Petridis (President / Director of Gregarious), Tapas Kumar Mukhopadhay (Director of Gregarious), Arun Dua (Director of Gregarious) and Bhatia International Pte. Limited in relation to the Time Charter Agreement dated January 29, 2008 entered into between GNCL and Gregarious whereby Gregarious agreed to give on hire and GNCL agreed to hire a vessel for a period of 82 to 86 months.
In view of the fact that there was a change in management of Gregarious without the consent of the company, it was contended that as per the terms of the agreement the company has the right to terminate the said Agreement. Further the Agreement never came into effect as per the terms of the agreement Gregarious had failed to provide the calculations for ascertaining super profits (as described therein) to the company. The company had filed a suit in Calcutta High Court for a decree of Rs. 56.25 Crores and prayed for declaration that the arbitration agreement between the company and Gregarious be rendered illegal, null and void.
During pendency of above proceedings, Gregarious initiated arbitration proceedings against the company and served a claim submission for an amount equivalent to Rs 212 Crores and interest thereupon.
The matter was never heard on merits at all and only the matter of jurisdiction of English Courts/ Arbitral Tribunal in London was decided by the Indian Courts. The matter after being discharged by the Indian Court was referred to Arbitration Tribunal. The Arbitration hearing was held in London in the month of January 2014 and the order is presently reserved by the Tribunal. The management is confident of the outcome of case in favour of the company.
