consider all of the information in this Draft Letter of Offer, including the risks and uncertainties described

below, before making an investment. Our Company’s actual results could differ materially from those

anticipated in the “Forward Looking Statements” at page xii as a result of certain factors, including the

considerations described below. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial

condition, results of operations and prospects could suffer, the trading price of our Equity Shares and the

Rights Securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should also pay

particular attention to the fact that we are governed in India by a legal and regulatory environment which

in some material respects may be different from that which prevails in other countries.

Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors detailed below, we are not in a position to

quantify the financial or other implications of any of the risks described in this section.

Materiality:

Additionally, our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently

known to us or that we currently consider as immaterial to our operations. The following factors have been

considered for determining their materiality:

1. Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively.

2. Some events may have a material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively.

3. Some events may not be material at present but may have material impacts in the future.

A. INTERNAL RISK FACTORS

1. Legal proceedings have been initiated against our Company and three of our Joint Ventures.

An unfavourable outcome in connection with the aforesaid proceedings, would inter-alia

require us to make appropriate provisions in connection with the same in our financial

statements, which in turn could adversely affect our business, results of operations and

financial condition. Our Company and three of our Joint Ventures are defending legal proceedings which are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts and tribunals. If any new developments arise, for example, a change in Indian law or rulings against us by the appellate courts or tribunals, we may face losses and may have to make provisions in our financial statements, which could increase our expenses and our liabilities, which in turn, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. A summary of these proceedings initiated against our Company and Joint Ventures are mentioned below.

For further details of the legal proceedings which materially affect our financial condition and results of operations, please see the section titled “Outstanding Litigations and Other Defaults” on page 155.

2. Our Joint Venture, IJM Gayatri Joint Venture is defending various proceedings against the

NHAI in connection with the road contracts between the said Joint Venture and the NHAI. Any

unfavourable outcome in connection with the aforesaid proceedings, whether individually

and/or in the aggregate, could adversely affect the results of our operations and financial

condition.

IJM Gayatri Joint Venture, a joint venture between our Company and IJM Corporation, Berhard, Malaysia, wherein our Company holds a share of 40% of the interest in the profits and the losses thereof, has executed road works for NHAI in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The said Joint Venture incurred excess of expenditure over income amounting to ` 1,344.5 million due to several alleged contractual failures on part of the NHAI. IJM Gayatri Joint Venture has raised various claims in excess of ` 3,000 million against the NHAI and the Government of Andhra Pradesh in various arbitral and legal proceedings in connection with the contracts between the aforesaid Joint Venture and the NHAI, which are pending final hearing and disposal before appropriate courts and/or arbitral authorities. While IJM Gayatri has obtained favourable awards from relevant arbitral tribunals in connection with certain claims, the NHAI has contested such awards before appropriate courts of law and inter-alia prayed for the same to be set aside. In case of any unfavourable outcome in connection with the aforesaid proceedings, IJM Gayatri Joint Venture may not be able to recover the claims made under the aforesaid proceedings in part or at all, which would inter-alia require us to book losses to the extent of our share in the aforenamed Joint Venture in our unconsolidated financial statements, which in turn, individually and/or in the aggregate, could adversely affect the results of our operations and financial condition. For further details please refer to the section titled “Outstanding Litigations and Other Defaults” beginning on page 155 of this Draft Letter of Offer.

3. The auditors’ reports on our Company’s unconsolidated financial statements for the financial

year ended March 31, 2010 and the limited review report on our Company’s standalone

financial statements for the six month period ended September 30, 2010 have been qualified by

the Auditors. The aforesaid qualifications relate to the non provisions for the losses incurred by

two of our Joint Ventures in our unconsolidated financial statements. Accordingly, in the event

the Company is required to make appropriate provisions for the aforementioned losses, our

profitability and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our Company has received qualifications and/or limitations in the auditor’s reports on our unconsolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2010 and the standalone limited reviewed financial statements for the six months period ended September 30, 2010. Such qualifications and/or limitations relate to the non provision of losses incurred by two of our Joint Ventures, as further detailed below: (i) Our Joint Venture, IJM Gayatri Joint Venture has executed road works in Package I, II &

III and AP 13 of NHAI, APSH 7 and APSH 8 in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The joint venture incurred excess of expenditure over income amounting to ` 1,344.5 million due to several contractual failures on part of the employer. IJM Gayatri Joint Venture has raised various claims in excess of ` 3,000 million against the NHAI and the Government of Andhra Pradesh in various arbitral and legal proceedings in connection with various contracts between the aforesaid Joint Venture and the NHAI. There is substantial progress in the proceedings in the arbitration and the management is reasonably confident of recovery of these claims. During the year under review in the matter of dispute out of the work of the “Warangal-Khammam- Tallada Road work”, the committee of Arbitrators has awarded a claim of ` 124.2 million in favour of the joint venture. The management has also obtained independent legal opinion from eminent counsel in this regard who have opined on the recoverability of the claims. In view of this, the share of

Page 15: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

3

the losses of our Company (40%) in the joint venture is not provided in the books of our Company. In the unlikely situation of not awarding the entire amount of claims, our Company has to provide an amount of ` 537.8 million towards its share of 40% in the IJM-Gayatri Joint Venture.

(ii) Gayatri-ECI JV, a joint venture between ECI Engineering & Construction Company

Limited and our Company with a sharing ratio of 50:50. The said Joint Venture is executing road projects in Assam, awarded by NHAI. The Joint Venture due to extraneous and law and order problems in the State of Assam could not progress the work as planned and hence incurred losses of ` 296.3 million till year 2008-09. However due to changed strategy of the company and over all improvement of the law and order situation, the progress of the work has improved substantially and the joint venture has posted a profit of ` 48.17 million during the year 2009-10 and a profit of `23.49 million during the six month period ended September 30, 2010 and to that extent the accumulated losses have been recovered. Since now the substantial portion of the project work has started, the losses incurred in the earlier years can be recovered from these profits. Hence, the losses in the Joint Venture are not considered by our Company.

In the event the Company is required to make appropriate provisions for the aforementioned losses, our profitability and financial condition could be adversely affected.

4. The failure of a joint venture partner to perform its obligations could impose additional

financial and performance obligations on our Company, which we may not be in a position to

fulfil at all times, in a timely manner or at all, which in turn, could adversely affect our ability

to complete projects undertaken by such joint ventures and impair our ability to realize profits

therefrom.

Our Company enters into various joint ventures with domestic as well as international infrastructure companies as part of its business and as on the date of this Draft Letter of Offer we have 13 joint ventures. The success of these joint ventures depends significantly on the satisfactory performance by our Company’s joint venture partners of their obligations. If our Company’s joint venture partners fail to perform these obligations satisfactorily, the joint venture may be unable to perform adequately or deliver its contracted services. In such a case, our Company may be required to make additional investments and/or provide additional services to ensure the adequate performance and delivery of the contracted services. We may not in all cases be in a position to fulfil such additional obligations in a timely manner or at all which could adversely affect the ability of such joint venture to continue with a project, which in turn, could impair our ability to realize profits from such Joint Venture. In the past three of our Joint Ventures have incurred losses as per their respective audited financial statements, as set forth in the table below:

Year Ended March 31 (` in Million) Entity

2010 2009

IJM-Gayatri Joint Venture (5.43) (10.57)

Gayatri-ECI Joint Venture - (139.96)

Jaiprakash-Gayatri Joint Venture - (0.06)

If these Joint Ventures fail to improve or sustain their operating performance, as the case may be, our overall profitability on a consolidated basis will be materially and adversely impacted.

5. Our Company has issued a corporate guarantee for an amount of ` 51,510.00 million to Rural

Electrification Corporation Limited in connection with a loan sanctioned by the Rural

Electrification Corporation Limited to our Subsidiary, Thermal Powertech Corporation India

Limited, which if invoked would materially adversely affect our financial condition.

Page 16: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

4

Our Company has issued a corporate guarantee dated September 13, 2010 to Rural Electrification Corporation Limited, the security agent for the consortium of banks for the projects undertaken by Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited, our Subsidiary, for an amount of ` 51,510.00 million. The aforesaid guarantee is towards timely repayment of instalments of the principal amount of loan of ` 51,510.00 million sanctioned to Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited and any interest and charges thereon, and is a continuing guarantee until Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited has executed back-to-back power purchase agreements for 990 Mega Watt of power generated through competitive bidding to the satisfaction of the consortium banks for the tenure of the aforesaid loan. As on the date of this Draft Letter of Offer, Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited has executed power purchase agreements for 430 Mega Watt of power generated with PTC India Limited, and no monies in connection with the aforesaid loan have been drawdown by Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited. However, if Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited is unable to execute the required power purchase agreements for the balance 560 Mega Watt of power in a timely manner and if the aforesaid guarantee is invoked and we are compelled to pay the entire or part of the amount secured thereby, our financial condition would be adversely affected.

6. We have in the past failed to pay interest on our debt obligations in a timely manner. If in the

future our Company fails to make interest payments to our lenders in a timely manner or at all

we may be liable for pre-mature repayments of the relevant loans with interest or otherwise face

action for default under the relevant borrowing agreements.

We had issued 14% secured redeemable non-convertible debentures of ` 100 each of the aggregate

value of ` 150 million on a private placement basis to the Unit Trust of India, (“UTI”) in May, 2001. We delayed payment of interest during 2001-02 and 2002-03 due to financial constraints. Consequently, UTI issued recall notice in January, 2003 and enforcement of guarantee notice in

February, 2004. We cleared all our dues to UTI in September, 2004. If in the future our Company fails to make interest payments to our lenders in a timely manner or at all we may be liable for pre-mature repayments of the relevant loans with interest or otherwise face action for default under the relevant borrowing agreements.

7. Our Company has in the past delayed in filing form FC-GPR in connection with allotment of

Equity Shares to certain Non Residents, in connection with which the RBI has issued a warning

dated January 31, 2011. In future, if we fail to comply with the requirements of the FEMA or

regulations issued thereunder we may be subject to compounding proceedings under FEMA.

Our Company has in the past delayed in filing Form FC-GPR within the prescribed period of 30 days from the date of inward remittance and allotment of Equity Shares to certain Non Residents in Fiscal 2008 and Fiscal 2011. Accordingly, our Company has violated the provisions of the FEMA and the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by Person Resident Outside India) Regulations, 2000, as amended. RBI has pursuant to a letter dated January 31, 2011, made a note of the aforesaid violation and has advised our Company to desist from committing such contraventions of the provisions of FEMA and regulations framed thereunder, failing which compounding proceedings under FEMA will be invoked against our Company.

8. In the past our Company has been highly dependent on water-related infrastructure projects

and road work contracts. In the event our Company is unable to procure sufficient orders in

connection with such water infrastructure projects or road work contracts in the future, our

operations and revenues could substantially reduce which in turn could affect our profitability.

As on December 31, 2010, 58.60% and 31.06% of our order book was represented by orders and/or contracts for water supply projects such as construction of canals and irrigation facilities and roadways contracts, including job works for construction and/or maintenance of state and national highways and other roadways, respectively. Our Company has historically depended on water-related projects and roadwork contracts to generate a bulk of our revenues. The two segments collectively represented 87.64% of our total revenues for the financial year ended March

Page 17: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

5

31, 2010, on an unconsolidated basis and 77.77% of our total revenues for the six month period ended September 30, 2010, on a standalone basis. However, the number and nature of infrastructure projects and/or roadwork contracts that are being contemplated or undertaken at any given time in India depend upon factors such as budgetary allocation, development objectives and priorities of the Government, among others. Additionally, competitors may in future gain the necessary pre-qualification to bid for such projects and/or contracts and the resulting increase in competition may reduce the margins that our Company currently enjoys in these divisions. In the event that the budgetary allocation or external funding for projects in these divisions is reduced, or the Company’s bids for water-related projects and/or roadwork contracts are not successful due to increased competition, our operations and revenues could significantly reduce which in turn would affect our profitability.

9. Historically, we have relied upon a limited number of customers for securing repeat orders

and/or contracts. Our top 5 customers for Fiscals 2010, 2009 and 2008 have constituted

54.96%, 58.37% and 68.48% of our total revenues, respectively. Our inability to maintain our

relationship with such customers and/or procure orders in significant numbers and/or size

could adversely affect our revenues and thereby our profitability.

A significant proportion of our Company’s revenues are derived from a limited number of customers. Our top 5 customers for Fiscals 2010, 2009 and 2008 have constituted 54.96%, 58.37% and 68.48% of our total revenues, respectively. If we are unable to competitively bid for and/or otherwise secure orders and/or contracts with such customers in commercially favourable terms, in sufficient numbers, and/or for sufficient value, or at all, our revenues may be adversely affected, which in turn would affect our profitability.

10. Our Company’s revenues are highly dependent upon Central and State Governments and

public sector undertakings. Any change in the Central and State Governments, changes in

policies and/or our inability to recover payments therefrom in a timely manner, would adversely

affect our operations and revenues which in turn would adversely affect our profitability. Our Company relies heavily upon Central and State Governments and public sector undertakings (“PSUs”) who appoint our Company on large-scale infrastructure projects in India. As on December 31, 2010, 83.35% of our order book was represented by contracts and/or orders awarded by the Central and State Governments and PSUs. Additionally, many of our Company’s projects are public sector sponsored projects and these are often subject to delay. Such delays could be on account of a change in the Central and State Governments, changes in policies impacting the public at large, scaling back of Government policies or initiatives, changes in governmental or external budgetary allocation, or insufficiency of funds, which can significantly and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our Company. Our Company’s business is also directly affected by changes in Central and State Governments spending. Any change or downturn that leads to decreased spending on infrastructure projects could adversely affect our business and thereby our results of operations.

Further, infrastructure contracts awarded by the Central and State Governments may include provisions which enable the client to terminate the contract without cause at any time after providing our Company with notice that may vary from 30 to 90 days. Performance guarantees are also common features of our Company’s contracts and are typically unconditional and payable on demand, and can be invoked by the client without cause. Since the majority of our Company’s projects are contracts with the Central and State Governments or their agencies, our Company is susceptible to such termination or invocation. In the event that a contract is so terminated or invoked without cause, our Company’s revenues will be adversely affected. Further, we may not be able to recover our payments in connection with such contracts in a timely manner, which could adversely affect our working capital cycles, revenues and profitability.

11. The BSE has in the past suspended the trading of securities of two of our listed group

companies namely, Gayatri BioOrganics Limited and Gayatri Tissues & Paper Limited, which

have been revoked.

The BSE had vide a notice dated September 3, 2001, suspended the trading of securities of Gayatri BioOrganics Limited inter-alia in connection with alleged non-payment of annual listing fees.Similarly, the BSE had vide a notice dated December 21, 2004, suspended the trading of securities of Gayatri Tissues & Paper Limited in connection with alleged non-compliances with requirements of the listing agreement with BSE. The aforementioned suspensions have been revoked by BSE with effect from December 30, 2008 and April 26, 2010, respectively, upon compliance with the requirements of BSE and submission of relevant responses to the queries raised by BSE, and consequently, the trading in securities of the aforementioned companies have resumed on the BSE.

12. We may not be able to proceed with the Issue, if our Company does not obtain the

confirmations and waivers from complying with certain terms and conditions of the FCCB

offering circular from the holders of outstanding FCCBs and/or the trustees to the FCCBs in a

timely manner or at all.

Pursuant to a letter dated January 21, 2011 addressed to the trustees for the FCCBs, our Company has sought (a) a confirmation from the trustees that our Company can suspend the conversion of the outstanding FCCBs into Equity Shares from the Record Date fixed in connection with the Issue by our Company till the listing of the Rights Securities issued thereunder, and (b) a waiver from complying with certain pre-conditions to a rights issue as contained in the offering circular in connection with the FCCBs so as to ensure that our Company is in compliance with applicable statutory, regulatory and contractual requirements in connection with the FCCBs and the Issue. If our Company is unable to obtain the aforesaid confirmations and/or waivers from the holders of the FCCBs and/or the trustee for the FCCBs, we may not be in a position to consummate the Issue.

13. An outstanding road work order of a contract price of `̀̀̀ 3,118. 86 million in connection with

the improvement of the Naranpur – Pandapada – Harichandanpur – Brahmanipal – Duburi

Road in Orissa in favour of our Joint Venture, Gayatri RNS Joint Venture could stand

cancelled if the relevant awarding authority does not extend the completion date for the

aforesaid order, which could adversely affect our profitability.

Our Joint Venture, Gayatri RNS Joint Venture is executing a road work contract for improvement of the Naranpur – Pandapada – Harichandanpur – Brahmanipal – Duburi Road in Orissa for the Keonjhar (Roads & Bridges) Division, State of Orissa. The aforementioned order is for a value of ` 3,118.86 million. The date of commencement as per the aforementioned contract was November 15, 2007 and the date of completeion as stated in the contract was November 14, 2010. Pursuant to a letter dated October 1, 2010, to the project manager cum resident engineer, SM Consultants, Gayatri RNS Joint Venture has sought an interim extention of 36 months from the aforementioned completion date for completion of certain works, inter-alia on the grounds of alleged delays in handing over of land, Maoist attacks and unseasonal rains. The State of Orissa has not given its approval for the aforesaid extention. The value of outstanding work as on December 31, 2010 in our order books in connection with the aforementioned order is ` 2,257.66 million, which represents 3.79% of our aggregate outstanding order book as on December 31, 2010. If the State of Orissa does not give its approval for or refuses the extention sought by Gayatri RNS Joint Venture, the said order could stand cancelled and Gayatri RNS Joint Venture may not be able to recover the expenses and their outstanding contract amounts, in part or entirely in connection with the aforementioned project which would adversely impact the profitability of Gayatri RNS Joint Venture and our Company.

14. Given the long term nature of the projects we undertake, we face various kinds of

implementation risks and our inability to successfully manage such risks may have an adverse

impact on the functioning of our business.

Since contracts for major business projects are performed over an extended period of time, some of the project risks that this business is subject to include the following:

• long completion periods and significant capital outlay before project completion and generation of positive cash flows;

• delays in the construction of projects giving rise to potential liabilities and lower than expected returns;

• significant financial exposure to, and uncertainty as to, the long-term viability of large turnkey projects;

• delays in project execution due to environmental, rehabilitation and resettlement risks; and

• change in government policies and/or regulatory requirements;

• change in political and economic conditions in the country;

• unforeseen conditions, such as adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, encountered during project execution.

A combination of circumstances may result in significant losses on a particular project, as a consequence of which our Company’s operations and profitability may be materially and adversely affected.

15. We may be unable to pre-qualify to bid on certain larger infrastructure projects on our own and

if we are unable to forge alliances with third parties, we may be precluded from bidding for

those large infrastructure projects, which could have an adverse effect on our growth prospects

and operations.

We enter into contracts primarily through a competitive bidding process or on negotiated rate basis. Our competition varies depending on the size, nature and complexity of the project and on the geographical region in which the project is to be executed. We compete against various infrastructure companies. In selecting contractors for major projects, clients generally limit the tender to contractors who are pre-qualified based on several criteria, including experience, technical ability, past performance, reputation for quality, safety record, financial strength and the size of previous contracts executed in similar projects with them or otherwise. Additionally, while these are important considerations, price is a major factor in most tender awards and in negotiated contracts and our business is subject to intense price competition. In competitive bidding, once the prospective bidders satisfy the technical requirements of the tender, the project is usually awarded based on the price of the contract quoted by the prospective bidder. There could be no assurance that our Company would in such cases be able to attain an award of such contracts at commercially favourable and/or expected terms or at all, which could have a material negative effect on our Company’s financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Further, if we are unable to pre-qualify to bid on certain large projects on our own, we may have to enter into memoranda of understanding or joint venture agreements with various other companies. In cases where we are unable to forge an alliance with appropriate companies to meet pre-qualification requirements, we may lose out on opportunities to bid, which could have an adverse effect on our growth prospects and operations.

Page 20: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

16. Our Company is subject to risks arising out of fixed-price contracts, time and cost overruns in

connection with our projects and underestimating the amount of work or the quantity of

material required. If such risks materialized, our Company could experience reduced profits or,

in some cases, a loss which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial

condition.

Typically, contract prices are established in part on cost and scheduling estimates, which are based on a number of assumptions, such as the future economic conditions, the price and availability of labour, equipment and materials and other relevant factors. If any of these estimates prove inaccurate or circumstances change, cost overruns may occur and our Company could experience reduced profits or, in some cases, a loss. In addition to the risk of cost overruns, our Company also bears the risk of underestimating the amount of work or the quantity of material required. Further, a proportion of our Company’s contracts is, and will continue to be, fixed-price contracts awarded through competitive bidding. As on December 31, 2010, 14.78% of our order book was represented by fixed price contracts. In fixed-price contracts our Company bears all or a portion of the risks of cost increases and therefore tries to account for any contingencies when determining its contract price. Further, our business requires various materials including, steel, cement and aggregates (sand, bricks and sized metals). Material costs are included in the line item “materials consumed” in our statements of profit and loss. Materials consumed, which also includes the cost of our mechanical and other equipment, constituted 32.93% of our total costs for Fiscal 2010 on an unconsolidated basis and 30.36% of our total costs for the six month period ended September 30, 2010 on a standalone basis. Our ability to pass on increases in the price of materials and other project related inputs may be limited in the case of fixed-price contracts with limited price escalation provisions. Unanticipated increases in the price of materials consumed and other project related inputs may also have compounding effects by increasing costs of performing other parts of the contract. This may contribute to our profits on such projects being less than originally estimated or may even result in us experiencing losses. Depending on the size of the project, the variation from the estimated contract value could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

17. Our operating expenses include fixed costs that are not dependent upon our volume of business.

As a result, any decline in our operating performance may be magnified because we may be

unable to reduce expenses immediately, or at all in response to a potential shortfall in volume of

business.

Our operating expenses include various fixed costs, which are as such, not dependent on our volume of business. Our fixed costs include the majority of our employment expenses and are incurred irrespective of the contracts for projects undertaken by us. Any shortfall in connection with the execution of our contracts may cause significant variations in operating results in any particular quarter, as we would not be able to reduce our fixed operating expenses in the short term. The effect of any decline in order bookings may thereby be magnified because a portion of our earnings are committed to paying these fixed costs. Thus, it is possible that in the future some of our financial results may be below the expectations of the public, market analysts and investors and the market price of our Equity Shares could decline.

18. Failure on the part of our sub-contractors to perform their obligations in a timely manner or at

all could adversely affect our ability to complete projects in a timely manner or at commercially

viable terms, which in turn could subject us to time and cost overruns, defaults under the

contracts for such projects and loss of revenue and profitability.

Our Company relies on sub-contractors in relation to specific aspects of a particular project. If our sub-contractors, for any reason, fail to meet their specified completion dates, and/or do not perform their obligations in accordance with the contracts executed with them, our ability to complete the project in a timely manner or at commercially viable terms, could be adversely

Page 21: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

9

impacted. Furthermore, failure to meet the specifications (including technical requirements and quality standards) prescribed by our customers on the part of such sub-contractors could result in the breach of our contracts with our customers, and/or us having to incur additional expenses to remedy such failure on the part of our sub-contractors. In addition, our Company could be liable to pay penalties to our customers due to the insufficiency of performance guarantees in our Company’s agreements with sub-contractors. Further, such failure could also result in us losing our relationship with aggreived customers. Accordingly, any or all of aforementioned events could subject us to a loss of business, revenues and profitability.

19. If our Company is not able to obtain, renew or maintain the permits and approvals required to

operate its businesses, this may have a material adverse effect on its businesses.

Our operations are subject to the receipt of required licences, permits and authorizations, including local land use permits, building and zoning permits, environmental permits, and health and safety permits. In the future, our Company may be required to renew such permits and approvals or to obtain new permits and approvals. While our Company believes that it will be able to obtain such permits and approvals and has not experienced any difficulty in renewing and maintaining these permits and approvals in the past, as and when required, there can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue any such permits or approvals in the time-frame anticipated by our Company or at all. Failure by our Company to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits and approvals, intellectual property and technology licences may interrupt our Company’s operations and may have a material adverse effect on our Company’s results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

20. Our results of operations of our infrastructure business may be adversely affected if we are

unable to attract and/or deploy sufficient labour to various projects and/or to pass on

unanticipated increases in labour costs.

Our operations are labour intensive and subject to the availability of labour in sufficient numbers. If we are unable to attract and/or deploy sufficient labour resources to our projects, our operations may be adversely affected. Further, our ability to pass on increases in labour costs may be limited. This may contribute to our profits on such projects being less than originally estimated or may even result in us experiencing losses. Depending on the size of the project, the variation from the estimated contract value could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

21. The failure of our Subsidiaries to complete its projects in a timely or a profitable manner, could

affect the profitability of our Subsidiaries, which in turn would require us to write down our

investments in such Subsidiaries and would adversely impact our operations and profitability on

a consolidated basis.

Our Company has made and may continue to make certain capital investments, loans, advances and other commitments to support certain of its Subsidiaries. These investments and commitments inter-alia include capital contributions and providing corporate guarantees to lenders in order to enhance the financial condition or liquidity position of the Subsidiaries of our Company. For instance on February 14, 2011, inter alia, the Board of Directors have approved investment up to 50% in the equity share capital of Jinbhuvish Power Generations Private Limited through our Subsidiary Gayatri Energy Ventures Private Limited in connection with the establishment of a 600MW(2 x 300) thermal power project in the state of Maharashtra and we have invested ` 2,366.00 million through Gayatri Energy Ventures Private Limited in Thermal Powertech Corporation India Limited, a company incorporated for the purposes of a proposed establishment of a coal based thermal power plant at Krishnapatnam, Nellore Andhra Pradesh, India. We have little or no prior experience in executing power projects. Accordingly, if the projects and/or purposes for which our Subsidiaries have been incorporated are not completed on commercially

Page 22: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

10

favourable terms, profitably, in a timely manner we may not realize any dividend income from such Subsidiaries, which in turn would affect our profitability. In the past two of our Subsidiaries have incurred losses as per their respective audited financial statements, as set forth in the table below:

Year Ended March 31 (` in Million) Entity

2010 2009

Gayatri Infra Venture Limited (13.38) -

Gayatri Energy Venture Pvt. Ltd. (0.14) -

Further, if the business and operations of these Subsidiaries deteriorate, our Company’s investments may be required to be written down or written off or further capital injections may be required to be made. Additionally, certain loans or advances may not be repaid or may need to be restructured, or our Company may be required to outlay capital under its commitments to support such companies. If these Subsidiaries fail to improve or sustain their operating performance, as the case may be, our overall profitability on a consolidated basis will be materially and adversely impacted, which in turn may materially and adversely affect the valuation of our Company and Subsidiaries as a whole.

22. Two of our Group Companies namely, Gayatri Sugars Limited and Gayatri BioOrganics

Limited have in Fiscal 2004 failed to meet certain debt obligations. Such failure to meet debt

obligations could affect our group’s capability to raise debt and we may not be able to raise the

required debt to complete the projects and thereby adversely affecting our financial condition

and results of operations.

Our Group Company, Gayatri Sugars Limited is operating under a Corporate Debt Restructuring CDR scheme since August, 2003. On account of downturn in the sugars industry, the term loans of IDBI and IFCI had been restructured under the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) system during the year 2003-04. The CDR package was implemented w.e.f. April 01, 2004 and the interest payments and repayment of the term loan was paid as per schedule. In 2007, Gayatri Sugars Limited proposed to settle the dues of IDBI and IFCI with One Time Settlement (OTS), which was agreed by the relevant banks with a reduction of ` 62.00 million out of one of the term loans. Accordingly the long term loan dues were cleared by OTS on March 31, 2008. With payment of the terms loans of IDBI and IFCI, the credit facilities restructured under the CDR system has been settled. Further, Gayatri Sugars Limited has asked the Canara Bank and Corporation Bank (“Working Capital Banks”) for coming out of the CDR system, in the same manner as the long term dues were restructured and settled through OTS. But the banks have said they want to continue for some time in the CDR system. At the monitoring meeting held on October 19, 2010, the matter was discussed by members of the monitoring committee and Gayatri Sugars Limited was advised to pay the Right of Recompense (ROR) to the extent of ` 84.30 million as per the applicable guidelines, by March 31, 2010. Gayatri Sugars Limited has requested the aforesaid banks for an extension till December 31, 2011. However in the meeting held on October 19, 2010, the Chief General Manager, CDR suggested Gayatri Sugars Limited to pay 50% upfront and the balance payment till December 31, 2011. Gayatri Sugars Limited however has requested a full payment of ` 84.30 million to the Working Capital Banks by December 31, 2011, which is presently under consideration. Further, Gayatri BioOrganics Limited had offered a One Time Settlement Scheme, (“OTS”), to Financial Institutions/Banks consequent to a declaration as a sick industrial company by the BIFR. The principal amount outstanding for term loan was ` 253.75 million and for working capital was ` 44.71 million and as against this, OTS amount offered and accepted by the relevant financial institutions and banks was ` 158.25 million and ` 44.71 million. Gayatri BioOrganics Limited has

Page 23: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

11

already cleared the dues to the concerned financial institutions and banks and appropriate no due certificates have been issued by such financial institutions and banks in this regard. Such failures to meet debt obligations could affect our group’s capability to raise debt and we may not be able to raise the required debt to complete the projects and thereby adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.

23. Our listed Group Companies namely, Gayatri Tissues and Paper Limited, Gayatri Sugars

Limited and Gayatri BioOrganics Limited have in the past received notices from SEBI alleging

violations under the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations,

1997.

In connection with Gayatri Tissues & Paper Limited, SEBI vide their letter dated July 21, 2004 alleged violations to the reporting requirements under regulations 6(2) and 6(4) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1997 (“Takeover Code”) for the year 1997 and under regulation 8(3) of the Takeover Regulations for the years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 & 2002.

The aforesaid company has not received any further communication from SEBI in relation to this matter. In connection with Gayatri Sugars Limited, SEBI vide their letter dated November 29, 2004 alleged violations to the reporting requirements under regulations 8(3) of the Takeover Code for the years 1999, 2000, 2001 & 2002. This letter of the SEBI also referred to the appointment of an adjudicating officer under provisions of the SEBI Act to adjudicate and enquire into such alleged violations. In the said letter, SEBI also stated that it has decided to consider request for a consent order under provisions of section 15 T (2) (b) of the SEBI Act if the company was willing to pay an amount of ` 1,00,000 as penalty for the alleged violations.

The aforesaid company has not received any further communication from SEBI.

24. Seasonality and weather conditions, from time to time, restrict our ability to carry on

construction activities and fully utilize our resources, which in turn could adversely affect our

business.

Our business operations may be materially and adversely affected by severe weather, which may require us to evacuate personnel or curtail services and may result in damage to a portion of our equipment or facilities, resulting in the suspension of operations. In addition, such weather may prevent us from delivering materials to our project sites in accordance with contract schedules or generally reduce our productivity. Our operations are also adversely affected by difficult working conditions and extremely high temperatures during summer months and during monsoon, which restrict our ability to carry on construction activities and fully utilize our resources. We record

Page 24: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

12

revenues for those stages of a project that we complete, after we receive certification from the client that such stage has been successfully completed. During periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, we may continue to incur operating expenses, but our revenues from operations may be delayed or reduced, thereby adversely impacting our results of operations and financial condition for such periods.

25. Our Company’s aggregate order book may be subject to unexpected adjustments and

cancellations and hence may not indicate what our future sales will be.

As at December 31, 2010, our Company’s aggregate order book was approximately ` 59,619.31 million. Our Company cannot guarantee that the revenues anticipated in its order book will be realized or, if realized, will be realized on time or result in profits. Projects may remain in its order book for an extended period of time. In addition, project delays or cancellations or adjustment to the scope of work may occur from time to time due to a client’s default, incidents of force majeure, legal impediments or our Company’s default and may impact contracts reflected in its order book. This reduction in our Company’s order book could adversely affect its revenues and profits.

26. Our operations are highly working capital intensive and accordingly we require adequate

capital and financing from time to time to meet our working capital requirements. Inability to

obtain adequate financing to meet our Company’s capital resource requirements, in a timely

manner, on commercially favourable terms to us, or at all, may have an adverse effect on our

results of operations.

Our Company has had, and expects to have, substantial liquidity and capital resource requirements. As at February 28, 2011, our Company had aggregate outstanding borrowings on an unconsolidated basis in the form of working capital facilities for amounts aggregating ` 3,781.90 million. Project financing is a combination of net working capital, advances from customers and bank financing. Further, typically our operations, have long working capital cycles, particularly in connection with projects with long gestation periods and government contracts. The inability of our Company to obtain such financing, in a timely manner, on commercially favourable terms to us, or at all may impair our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

27. If our Company is unable to obtain the necessary funds for its growth plans, the business and

operations of our Company will be adversely affected.

The funding requirements for expanding the operations of our Company are substantial, and the ability to finance these plans is subject to a number of risks, contingencies and other factors, some of which are beyond our Company’s control, including general economic and capital markets conditions and the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms.

There can be no assurance that debt or equity financing or our Company’s internal accruals will be available or sufficient to meet the funding of our Company’s growth plans.

The ability of our Company to obtain required capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:

• limitations on our Company’s ability to incur additional debt, including as a result of prospective lenders’ evaluations of our Company’s creditworthiness and pursuant to restrictions on incurrence of debt in our Company’s existing and anticipated credit facilities;

• investors’ and lenders’ perception of, and demand for, debt and equity securities of infrastructure companies, as well as the offerings of competing financing and investment opportunities in India by our competitors;

• whether it is necessary to provide credit support or other assurances from our Promoter on terms and conditions and in amounts that are commercially acceptable to them;

Page 25: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

13

• limitations on the ability of our Company to raise capital in the capital markets and conditions of the Indian, U.S. and other capital markets in which our Company may seek to raise funds; and

• our Company’s future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Any inability to raise sufficient capital to fund our growth plans could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. For details, please refer to the section titled “Objects of the Issue” on page 47 of this Draft Letter of Offer.

28. If our Company may not be able to successfully manage the growth of its operations, in a cost

effective and efficient manner, our results of operations and financial condition could be

adversely affected.

Our Company has been rapidly expanding its operations in recent years. As it continues to grow, our Company must continue to improve its managerial, technical and operational knowledge and allocation of resources, and implement an effective management information system. In order to fund its ongoing operations and future growth, our Company needs to have sufficient internal sources of liquidity or access to additional financing from external sources. Further, our Company will be required to manage relationships with a greater number of customers, suppliers, contractors, service providers, lenders and other third parties. Our Company will need to further strengthen its internal control and compliance functions to ensure that it will be able to comply with its legal and contractual obligations and it’s operational and compliance risks. There can be no assurance that our Company will not suffer from capital constraints, operational difficulties or difficulties in expanding existing business and operations, and training an increasing number of personnel to manage and operate the expanded business. Further, there can be no assurance that our Company will be able to successfully manage its growth or that its expansion plans will not adversely affect its existing operations and thereby have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. In addition, the projects undertaken by our Company are increasing in scale and complexity. Our Company will need to continue to improve its project management system and supporting infrastructure, such as its information technology and human resources systems, and training programmes, in order to ensure that it will be able to continue to successfully execute large, complex projects on a timely basis. There can be no assurance that our Company will be able to improve its project management system and supporting infrastructure at a rate commensurate with the increase in size and complexity of the projects that it undertakes, and any resulting impairment in our Company’s project management and execution capabilities may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

29. Most of our arrangements with our lenders contain various restrictive covenants, which may

restrict our ability to take various business decisions and measures in a timely manner or at all,

which in turn may adversely affect our growth prospects. Further, any non compliance with

such covenants could potentially subject us to action for breach of such arrangements.

Most of our Company’s loan agreements contain covenants which restrict certain activities and require our Company to obtain lenders’ consents before, among other things, undertaking new projects, issuing new securities, declaring dividends in the event of non-payment and making certain investments beyond the approved amount. They also allow those lenders to sell assets of certain value in the event of non-payment. Certain of the loan agreements also give the lenders the right to nominate directors to the Board in the event of any default under such agreements. As is typical of loan agreements, there are also a significant number of non-financial covenants in our loan agreements. These range from not being able to open ordinary accounts without some lenders’ consent to not effecting any change in management. There can be no assurance that the relevant lenders would provide required consents and/or waivers in a timely manner or at all,

Page 26: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

14

which could adversely impact our ability to take various decisions and/or could restrict the manner in which we operate. This could adversely affect our growth prospects. While we are in compliance with all of our financial covenants or have obtained consents or waivers with regard to compliance, we may not in all instances be able in the future to comply with such non-financial covenants or obtain consents or waivers with regard to these covenants. In the event that any lender calls an event of default, including for breach of non-financial covenants, it would trigger cross defaults in our loan agreements, most, if not all, whereby all our loans could be accelerated and due immediately. Any such action could materially adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

30. The offer, issuance and allotment of Rights Securities to Non Residents would be subject to our

Company obtaining appropriate approval from the FIPB in connection with the issuance and

allotment of Warrants to Non Residents.

Pursuant to a letter dated March 11, 2011 our Company has sought an approval from the FIPB in connection with the offer, issuance and allotment of Warrants to Non Residents. Accordingly, our Company will not able to issue and allot Rights Securities to Non Residents, unless the aforesaid approval from the FIPB in this regard is obtained.

31. Our Promoters have pledged their Equity Shares as additional/collateral security under

agreements with various lenders in connection with various credit facilities obtained by our

Group Companies. In the event of any default under the relevant agreements, the lenders may

enforce aforementioned pledges, which could result in a change in control of our Company.

As per the disclosures made by our Promoters under the provisions of the Takeover Code in connection with the details of the Equity Shares held by them, as on December 31, 2010, 5,995,217 Equity Shares representing 50.01%, of the paid-up equity share capital of our Company, and representing 90.93% of the aggregate holding of Equity Shares by our Promoters are pledged with banks and financial institutions. The following table elucidates the details of Equity shares pledged by our Promoters with banks and financial institutions as on December 31, 2010:

Sl.

2 T.V. Sandeep Kumar Reddy 1,495,162 Industrial Finance Corporation of India Limited

Total 5,995,217 -

In the event of any default under the relevant agreements, the lenders may enforce aforementioned pledges, which could result in a change in control of our Company.

32. Our Company’s success depends largely upon its highly-skilled professionals and its ability to

attract and retain these professionals. If our Company is unable to attract and retain

Page 27: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

15

professionals and skilled workers, its business and results of operations may be adversely

affected.

Our Company’s ability to successfully complete projects and to attract new clients depends largely on its ability to attract, train, motivate and retain highly-skilled professionals, particularly project managers and engineers, and other skilled workers. If the Company cannot hire and retain highly-skilled personnel, its ability to bid for, and win, new projects and to continue to expand its business will be impaired, and consequently its revenues could decline. Further, our Company may not be able to re-deploy and retrain its professionals to keep pace with continuing changes in technology, evolving standards and changing needs of its clients. In addition, a significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in increased attrition among our Company’s skilled workforce, increases in the wage rates that it pays or both. As a result of the recent growth in the infrastructure industry in India and the expected future growth, the demand for highly-skilled professionals and workers has significantly increased in recent years, and if our Company is unable to attract and retain professionals and skilled workers, its business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

33. Our operations could be adversely affected by any statutory and/or regulatory requirements

pertaining to labour, strikes, work stoppages or increased wage demands by our employees

and/or contract labourers or any other kind of disputes with our employees and/or contract

labourers.

Our operations are highly labour intensive and we employ a combination of in-house labour and contract labourers for the purposes of our projects. Though historically, we have not faced any labour related disputes or disruptions, there can be no assurance that we will not experience disruptions to our operations due to disputes or other problems with our work force, which may adversely affect our operations. Further, we enter into contracts with independent contractors to complete specified assignments and these contractors are required to source the labour necessary to complete such assignments. Although we do not engage these labourers directly, it is possible under Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, and judicial interpretation of the provisions thereof, that we may be held responsible for wage payments and/or compensation for accidents and/or death at the work site in the course of employment to labourers engaged by contractors should the contractors default on wage and/or compensation payments. Any requirement to fund such payments may adversely affect our profitability. Furthermore, pursuant to the provisions of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, we may be required to retain such contract labourers as our employees. Any such order from a court or any other regulatory authority would require us to incur additional fixed costs which in turn may adversely affect our profitability.

34. Changes in technology may render our Company’s current technologies obsolete or require our

Company to make substantial capital investments. The cost of implementing new technologies

or expanding capacity could be significant and could adversely affect our Company’s results of

operations.

Our Company’s business is subject to rapid and significant changes in technology. Although our Company strives to keep its technology in accordance with the latest international technological standards, the technologies currently employed may become obsolete or subject to competition from new technologies in the future. The cost of implementing new technologies or expanding capacity could be significant and could adversely affect our Company’s results of operations.

35. There can be no assurance that our Company will at all times benefit from the related party

transactions it enters into from time to time.

Our Company’s policy on transactions with related parties is that such transactions are conducted at arm’s length on normal commercial terms in the ordinary and normal course of business. Our Company may enter into additional transactions with its related parties in the future. Although regulations in India do require disclosure of related party transactions in a listed company’s financial statements, such regulations do not require shareholders’ approval or an independent assessment of connected or related party transactions. As a result, there is no independent verification that the terms of such transactions or that any of our Company’s transactions with its associated companies will benefit our Company.

36. The objects of the Issue are based on the internal estimates of our management, and have not

been appraised by any bank or financial institution. Any inability on our part to effectively

utilise the Issue Proceeds could adversely affect our financials.

The funds raised under this Issue will be used for repayment of existing debts, meeting enhanced working capital requirements, general corporate purposes and to meet Issue expenses. The objects of the Issue, with respect to working capital requirements, are based on management estimates and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. Utilization of the funds raised in the Issue is not subject to monitoring by any independent agency. Any inability on our part to effectively utilise the Issue Proceeds could adversely affect our financials. However, utilization of Issue proceeds would be disclosed to shareholders in the manner required under the Listing Agreement.

37. Our inability to maintain adequate insurance coverage could adversely affect our operations

and profitability.

Our Company is involved in large projects where design, construction or systems failures can result in substantial injury or damage to third parties. Furthermore, our operations are subject to inherent risks, such as burglary and break-ins, defects, malfunctions and failures of equipment, fire

Page 29: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

17

and natural disasters. As at December 31, 2010, over 88.70 per cent. Of our Company’s projects were covered under contractor’s all risk insurance policies. Our insurance may not be adequate to completely cover any or all our liabilities. Further, there is no assurance that the insurance premiums payable by us will be commercially justifiable. Our inability to procure and/or maintain adequate insurance cover in connection with our business/ assets may adversely affect our operations and profitability.

38. The trade mark for “Gayatri” is not registered in the name of our Company, our Group

Companies or our Promoters. We may be unable to use our brand name if the same is

registered by any third party and may also be subject to potential action for alleged

infringement by other parties, which in turn would affect our reputation and profitability.

Neither our Company, our Promoters nor our group companies have registered the trade name “Gayatri” with the Registrar of Trade Marks under the Trade Marks Act, 1956 (as modified by the Trade Marks Act, 1999). In the event that any infringement claim is brought against our Company (or its group companies) our Company (or its group companies) will be required to establish their right to the exclusive use of the “Gayatri” name. Any failure to protect our intellectual property, including any trademarks, brand names and trade secrets, may adversely affect our competitive business position, financial condition and results of our operations. If any of our unregistered trademark or propriety rights are registered by a third party, we may not be able to make use of such trademark or propriety rights in connection with our business and consequently, we may be unable to capitalize on the brand recognition associated with our Company and our Subsidiaries in aggregate or our Company individually. Further, we may also be required to invest significant resources in developing a new brand, which would adversely affect our financial condition. Further, our inability to protect and/or use our brand name would affect our reputation.

39. We have experienced negative cash flows in the past. Any negative cash flows in the future

could adversely affect our financial condition and the trading price of our Equity Shares. We have experienced negative cash flows (only negative flows are indicated for each period), in the past, as follows:

Fiscal 2010 (` in million)

Fiscal 2009 (` in million)

Net cash from/(used in) Operating Activities (424.32) 490.25

Net cash from/(used in) Investing Activities (255.40) (795.87)

Any negative cash flows in the future could adversely affect our financial condition and the trading price of our Equity Shares. During the course of our business, we have entered into various capital commitments. In the event that the proposed Issue is not completed or is delayed and we are unable to make other alternative arrangements to raise funds to meet our cash flows requirements, it would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations

40. Our contingent liabilities which have not been provided for in our financial statements could

adversely affect our financial condition.

Our contingent liabilities as of September 30, 2010 aggregated to ` 63,327.15 million, on a standalone basis. The contingent liabilities consist principally of sales tax and service tax claims. In the event that any of these contingent liabilities materialize, our results of operation and financial condition may be adversely affected.

As of September 30, 2010, we had the following contingent liabilities that have not been provided for in our financial statements:

41. Your Equity Shareholding in our Company may be diluted if the holders of the FCCBs convert

the FCCBs held by them into Equity Shares.

As on the date of this Draft Letter of Offer, 271 of the aforementioned FCCBs, are outstanding which would entitle the holders thereof to acquire a maximum of 31,08,031 Equity Shares excluding any reservations/adjustments at the relevant FCCB conversion price.

In accordance with the provisions of Regulation 53 of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, our Company shall make a reservation of Equity Shares and Warrants in favour of the holders of the aforementioned FCCBs, (“Reserved Rights Securities”). The Reserved Rights Securities shall be allotted to the holders of the aforementioned FCCBs on the same terms and in the same ratio as the Rights Securities being offered pursuant to this Draft Letter of Offer to the Eligible Equity Shareholders of our Company at the relevant time of conversion thereof.

Accordingly, your Equity Shareholding in our Company may be diluted if the holders of the FCCBs convert the FCCBs held by them into Equity Shares.

42. There is no assurance that our Company will always have access to sufficient supplies of water

and electricity in the future to accommodate our project requirements and planned growth. Any

prolonged business interruption, inter-alia including any disruption or discontinued supply of

power or water at our project sites could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Irregular or interrupted supply of power or water, electricity shortages or government intervention, particularly in the form of power rationing are factors that could adversely affect our Company’s operations. There is no assurance that our Company will always have access to sufficient supplies of electricity and/or water in the future to accommodate project requirements and planned growth. If there is an insufficient supply of electricity or water to satisfy our Company’s requirements or a significant increase in electricity prices, we may need to limit or delay our production, which could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our Company.

43. As of February 28, 2011 our Company had unsecured loans amounting to `̀̀̀ 2,903.83 million

and repayment of these loans may be recalled by lenders at any time. In such event, we may

have to raise funds to refinance these obligations.

As of February 28, 2011 our Company had unsecured loans amounting to ` 2,903.83 million and repayment of these loans may be recalled by lenders at any time. In such event, we may have to raise funds to refinance these obligations. This requirement to refinance loans on short notice may have a material and adverse effect on our business operations and financial condition.

45. Except three properties, all other properties, used by our Company for the purposes of its

activities including our registered office are not owned by us. Any termination of the relevant

lease or leave and license agreements in connection with such properties or our failure to renew

the same could adversely affect our activities.

Currently, except 3 tracts of land which are owned by our Company, none of the other properties used by our Company for the purposes of our business activities, including the premises where the registered office of our Company is located is owned by us. Termination of the leave and license agreements in connection with such properties which are not owned by us or our failure to renew the same, and upon favourable conditions, in a timely manner or at all, could require us to vacate such premises at short notice, could adversely affect our operations, financial condition and profitability.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS

46. If our Company fails to comply with environmental, employee-related or health and safety laws

and regulations or any other local laws or regulations in India, this may adversely affect our

Company’s business and results of operations.

As an infrastructure company, our Company is required to comply with various laws and regulations relating to the environment. Although our Company believes that it complies in all material respects with all applicable statutes and with the regulations thereunder, it may incur substantial costs to comply with requirements of environmental laws and regulations in the future. Environmental laws and regulations in India are not as extensive as they are in other countries. They have, however, been increasing in stringency and it is possible that they will become significantly more stringent in the future. If any of its projects are shut down, our Company will continue to incur costs in complying with regulations, appealing any decision to stop construction, continuing to pay labour and other costs which continue even if construction has ceased. As a result, our Company’s overall operating expenses may increase, adversely affecting its business and results of operations. Our Company is also subject to health and safety laws and regulations as well as laws and regulations governing its relationship with its employees in areas such as minimum wages, maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and terminating employees, contract labour and work permits.

47. If there is a change in tax regulations, the tax liabilities of our Company may increase and thus

adversely affect our Company’s financial results.

The Indian Income Tax Act provides certain tax benefits to companies engaged in infrastructure development and construction, including:

Page 32: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

20

• a deduction of 100 per cent. Of the profits (for a period of 10 consecutive assessment years) derived from the business of developing an infrastructure facility;

• a deduction of 100 per cent. Of the profits derived from developing and building housing projects with in five years from the end of the financial year in which the housing project is approved before March 31, 2011; and

• tax-free status on certain income by way of dividends, interest on long-term finance and long-term capital gains from investments/long-term loans, subject to specified conditions.

Some of these benefits are available only for a specified period of time and others are available only in respect of specific projects. As and when the specified period of time expires or specified projects are completed, our Company’s tax liabilities may increase, reducing our Company’s profitability. Further, there can be no assurance that the Central or State Governments will not amend these provisions to our Company’s detriment, or that, after the expiry of the specified period of time, our Government will extend these tax benefits or that it will not enact laws in the future that could adversely impact our Company’s tax incentives and, consequently, tax liabilities and profits.

48. Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and other accounting principles, such as

U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which may be material to investors’ assessments of our financial

condition. Our failure to successfully adopt IFRS could have a material adverse effect on our

stock price.

Our financial statements, including the financial statements provided in this Draft Letter of Offer are prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP. We have not attempted to quantify the impact of U.S. GAAP or IFRS on the financial data included in this Draft Letter of Offer, nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to those of U.S. GAAP or IFRS. Each of U.S. GAAP and IFRS differs in significant respects from Indian GAAP.

Accordingly, the degree to which the Indian GAAP financial statements included in this Draft Letter of Offer will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Letter of Offer should accordingly be limited.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the ICAI, the accounting body that regulates the accounting firms in India, have announced a road map for the adoption of, and convergence of Indian GAAP with the IFRS (the “converged accounting standards”) pursuant to which all companies in India will be required to prepare their annual and interim financial statements under converged accounting standards beginning with fiscal period commencing April 1, 2011 or April 1, 2013, as the case may be, subject to certain conditions. Because there is significant lack of clarity on the adoption of and convergence with IFRS and there is not yet a significant body of established practice on which to draw in forming judgments regarding its implementation and application, we have not determined with any degree of certainty the impact that such adoption will have on our financial reporting. There can be no assurance that our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or changes in shareholders’ equity will not appear materially worse under converged accounting standards than under Indian GAAP. As we transition to converged accounting standards, we may encounter difficulties in the ongoing process of implementing and enhancing our books of accounts. Moreover, there is increasing competition for the small number of IFRS-experienced accounting personnel available as more Indian companies begin to prepare financial statements based on converged accounting standards. There can be no assurance that our adoption of converged accounting standards will not adversely affect our reported results of operations or financial condition and any failure to successfully adopt converged accounting standards by April 2011 or April 2013, as the case may be, could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

49. Political instability or changes in the policies formulated by the Government of India from time

to time could affect the liberalization of the Indian economy and adversely affect our business,

results of operations and financial condition. Our Company is incorporated in India and a significant portion of our Company’s fixed assets and human resources is located in India. Our Company’s business, and the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares may be adversely affected by changes in foreign exchange rates and regulations, interest rates, government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other developments in or affecting India. In recent years, India has been following a course of economic liberalization and the Company’s business could be significantly influenced by economic policies followed by the Central Government. The current coalition-led Central Government, which came to power in May 2001, has announced policies and taken initiatives that support the economic policies that have been pursued by previous Central Governments. However, the present Central Government is a multi-party coalition, so there can be no assurance that it will be able to generate sufficient cross-party support to continue to implement any liberalization policies adopted by the previous Central Government or that such policies will continue in the future. Government corruption, scandals and protests against liberalization, which have occurred in the past, could slow the pace of liberalization and deregulation. The rate of economic liberalisation in India could change in future, and statutory/regulatory requirements and/or policies the general economic environment in India, foreign investment, the securities market, currency exchange and other matters affecting our business and/or investment in our securities could change as well. Any significant change in liberalisation and deregulation of policies in India could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India generally and our Company’s business, operations and profitability in particular.

50. A slowdown in economic growth in India may adversely affect our Company’s business and

results of operations.

Our Company’s financial performance and the quality and growth of our Company’s business depend significantly on the health of the overall Indian economy. The Indian economy could be adversely affected by a number of factors. Any slowdown in the Indian economy or volatility of global commodity prices, in particular crude oil, cement, steel and bitumen prices, could adversely affect our Company’s source of raw materials and contractual counterparties, its business, its financial performance.

51. Civil unrest, acts of violence including terrorism or war involving India and other countries

could materially and adversely affect the financial markets and our business.

Civil unrest, acts of violence including terrorism or war, may negatively affect the Indian markets where our Equity Shares will be traded and also materially and adversely affect the worldwide financial markets. These acts may also result in a loss of business confidence, make travel and other services more difficult and ultimately materially and adversely affect our business. Diplomatic relations between the GoI and neighboring countries have suffered post the terrorist attacks on November 26, 2008. While the GoI has been trying to engage in conciliatory efforts any further tension or deterioration of relations might result in investor concern about stability in the region, which could materially and adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares. India has also witnessed civil disturbances in recent years and it is possible that future civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic and political events in India could have an adverse impact on us. Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the price of the Equity Shares.

52. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an international rating agency could have a negative

impact on our Company’s business.

Page 34: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

22

Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may adversely affect our 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 an adverse effect on our Company’s business and future financial performance and our Company’s ability to obtain financing to fund its growth.

53. The market value of an investor’s investment may fluctuate due to the volatility of the Indian

securities markets. The prices of our Equity Shares on the stock exchange/s may fluctuate as a result of several factors, including:

• volatility in the Indian and global securities market or in the Rupee’s value relative to the U.S. dollar, the Euro and other foreign currencies;

• our profitability and performance;

• performance of our competitors in the Indian infrastructure industry and the perception in the market;

• significant developments in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies;

• significant developments in India’s fiscal, environmental and other regulations;

• an assessment of our management, our past and present operations, and the prospects for, and timing of, our future revenues and cost structures; and

• the present state of our development.

Further, there can be no assurance the prices at which our Equity Shares have historically traded will correspond to the prices at which our Equity Shares will trade in the market subsequent to this Issue.

54. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of our Equity Shares, which may

adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell Equity Shares at a

particular point in time There can be two types of circuit breakers applicable to the stocks listed on the Stock Exchanges (i) daily “price based circuit breaker” which specifies the band within which the price of a particular stock is allowed to move freely and (ii) index based market wide circuit breaker which applies to a stock at three stages of the index movement either way at 10%, 15% and 20%. While the daily price based circuit breaker is applicable to a stock depending on whether it is traded in F&O segment, an index based market wide circuit breaker is applicable to all the stocks listed on all the Stock Exchanges. Further, the daily “price based circuit breaker” operates independently of the index based market wide circuit breakers imposed by SEBI on Indian stock exchanges. Our Company is subject to a daily circuit breaker imposed by all stock exchanges in India which does not allow transactions beyond certain volatility in the price of our Equity Shares and other securities. This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on stock exchanges. The percentage limits on our Company’s circuit breakers are set by the BSE. The BSE do not inform our Company of the percentage limit of such circuit breakers and may change it without our Company’s knowledge. This circuit breaker effectively limits the upward and downward movements in the price of our Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, there can be no assurance regarding the ability of an investor to sell our Equity Shares or the price at which investors may be able to sell their Equity Shares at a particular point in time. There cannot be any assurance that the BSE will not halt trading due to the index-based market-wide circuit breaker in future and closure of, or trading stoppage on, the BSE could adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.

55. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains. Any gain realized on the sale of

equity shares held for more than 12 months to an Indian resident, which are sold other than on

Page 35: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

23

a recognized stock exchange and as result of which no Securities Transaction Tax, (“STT”),

has been paid, will be subject to capital gains tax in India.

Under current Indian tax laws and regulations, capital gains arising from the sale of shares in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a stock exchange held for more than 12 months will not be subject to capital gains tax in India if the STT has been paid on the transaction. The STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which equity shares are sold. Any gain realized on the sale of equity shares held for more than 12 months to an Indian resident, which are sold other than on a �realized�d stock exchange and as result of which no STT has been paid, will be subject to capital gains tax in India. Further, any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject to capital gains tax in India.

Capital gains arising from the sale of our Equity Shares will be exempt from tax in India in cases where such exemption is provided under the tax treaty between India and the country of which the seller is a resident. Generally, Indian tax treaties, do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of certain countries may be liable for tax in India, as well as in their own jurisdictions on gain upon a sale of our Equity Shares.

56. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that limit our

Company’s ability to attract foreign investors, which may adversely impact the market price of

our Equity Shares and also the ability of our Company to raise foreign capital. Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of Equity Shares between non-residents and residents are freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of Equity Shares, which are sought to be transferred is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then the prior approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India will require a no objection/ tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority. Our Company cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other statutory and/or regulatory authority or agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all. Similarily, such regulatory restrictions limit our Company’s financing sources and hence could constrain its ability to obtain financing on competitive terms and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, our Company cannot assure you that the required approvals will be granted to it without onerous conditions, if at all. Limitations on raising foreign debt may have an adverse effect on our Company’s business growth, financial condition and results of operations

57. There is no guarantee that the Rights Securities issued pursuant to the Issue will be listed on

the BSE in a timely manner or at all.

In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of the Rights Securities issued pursuant to the Issue will not be granted until after such Rights Securities have been issued and allotted. Such approval will require all other relevant documents authorising the issuing of Rights Securities to be submitted. There could be a failure or delay in listing the Rights Securities on the BSE. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict your ability to dispose of your Rights Securities. Further, historical trading prices, therefore, may not be indicative of the prices at which the Rights Securities will trade in the future.

Basis of Estimation:

The incremental long term working capital requirements are based on historical company data and estimation of the future requirements in Fiscal 2012 considering the growth in activities of our Company and in line with norms accepted by our bankers.

Justification for holding period levels:

Inventory Stocks: This represents closing stock of Construction Materials like, Steel, Cement, Metal, Bitumen etc., and Spare Parts, Oils, Lubricants etc. The stock holding levels for the year 2010-11 and 2011-12 are assumed to be maintained at about 30 days level. The Company has recently introduced a centralized inventory control system to monitor the inventory holding levels and to control holding levels which is expected to assist us in monitoring our inventory holding levels in a more organized manner and consequently bring down our inventory holding levels. Hence, the holding levels are assumed at 30 days. Work-in-Progress: Work-in-Progress represents the value of work executed but not billed as on the date of closure of Accounting Year. This value of the work is billed in the next year. The majority of the present works are road works where the cycle of issue of materials and actual billing is more. Thus, the projected level of work-in-progress is estimated at 15 days. Therefore there is an increase in the holding levels in work in progress.

Receivables The holding period of receivables is projected at approximately 89 days and 87 days level for FY 2011 and FY 2012, respectively, and they are in line with the past trends and industry peers.

Creditors The suppliers normally offer 30 days credit for the purchases made and sub-contractors offer between 30 days to 45 days credit for settlement of bills. The assumed level of creditors is in line with the industry norms.

All the aforesaid projections are based on our management’s estimates and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution.

Our Company has entered into a working capital consortium agreement dated January 31, 2011 with a consortium of banks with Bank of Baroda as the consortium leader, for working capital facilities consisting of fund based facilities aggregating up to a limit of ` 4,000 million.

Details of the working capital tied up by our Company towards our aforementioned working capital requirements as on February 28, 2011, is as follows:

(` in Millions)

In case of any delay in receipt of the Net Issue Proceeds, we would meet our long term working capital requirements as specified hereinabove from internal accruals and/or fresh debts and the Net Issue Proceeds will be utilized to repay such debts.

B. Repayment of existing Debts As on February 28, 2011, we have term loans aggregating ` 3,818.94 million on an unconsolidated basis. Out of the aforesaid outstanding term loans, our Company proposes to repay ` 750.00 million out of the Net proceeds of the Issue, which will enable us to improve our debt equity ratio. We operate in businesses which are capital-intensive, and over the last few years there is an increased reliance on borrowings to meet our cash flow requirements for our operations, investments in fixed assets and to repay our existing borrowings. To improve the overall financial health of our Company and to improve our financial condition, one of the objects of the Issue to repay the belowmentioned identified existing term loans from banks, falling due from July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. This repayment will help us to reduce the interest burden and thereby improve our financial condition and results of operations.

The Company intends to utilize the proceeds of the issue up to ` 750.00 million towards repayment of a portion of debt as given below. Details of outstanding amounts under these borrowings as on February 28, 2011:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NOTES TO ACCOUNTS

(Forming part of accounts as at and for the year ended 31st March, 2010)

The accounts are prepared under historical cost convention and on the going concern basis, with revenue recognized, expenses accounted on their accrual and in accordance with applicable notified Accounting Standards and the accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company.

2. Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known/ materialized.

3. Revenue recognition

i) Income is recognized on fixed price construction contracts in accordance with the percentage completion

basis, which necessarily involve technical estimates of the percentage of completion, and costs to completion, of each contract / activity, on the basis of which profits and losses are accounted. Such estimates, made by the Company and certified to the Auditors have been relied upon by them, as these are of technical nature.

ii) The stage of completion of contracts is measured by reference to the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed up to the reporting date bear to the estimated total contract costs for each contract.

iii) Price escalation and other claims and/or variation in the contract work are included in contract revenue only when: a) Negotiations have reached at an advanced stage such that it is probable that customer will accept

the claim; and b) The amount that is probable will be accepted by the customer can be measured reliably.

iv) Incentive payments, as per customer-specified performance standards, are included in contract revenue only when:

a) The contract is sufficiently advanced that it is probable that the specified performance standards will

12. Leases

Assets taken on finance lease are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on outstanding liability for each period. Operating leases in respect of office & other equipment, house for employees, Office buildings are cancelable / renewable by mutual consent on agreed terms. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account.

The EPS thus arrived at is known as ‘Basic EPS’. To arrive at the diluted EPS the net profit after tax, referred above, is divided by the weighted average number of equity shares, as computed above and the weighted average number of equity share that could have been issued on conversion of shares having potential dilutive effect subject to the terms of issue of those potential shares. The date/s of issue of such potential shares determine the amount of the weighted average number potential equity shares.

14. Taxation

15. Impairment of Fixed Assets

The carrying amount of assets, other than inventories is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use which is determined based on the estimated future cash flow discounted to their present values. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

8. Joint Venture Losses not considered

a) IJM-Gayatri Joint Venture The IJM – Gayatri Joint Venture is a joint venture in which IJM Corporation Berhad, Malaysia holds 60%

and Gayatri Projects Limited holds 40% share. The Joint venture has executed road works in Package I, II

& III and AP 13 of NHAI, APSH 7 and APSH 8 in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The joint venture incurred

excess of expenditure over income amounting to Rs. 1,344.50 Millions due to several contractual failures

on part of the employer.

The JV has raised claims in excess of Rs. 3000 Millions on the National Highways Authority of India and

Andhra Pradesh State Government, which are pending for consideration before the appropriate

authorities. There is substantial progress in the proceedings in the arbitration and the management is

reasonably confident of recovery of these claims. During the year under review in the matter of dispute out

of the work of the “Warangal-Khammam- Tallada Road work”, the committee of Arbitrators has awarded

a claim of Rs. 124.20 Millions in favour of joint venture.

The management has also obtained independent legal opinion from eminent counsel in this regard who

have opined on the recoverability of the claims. In view of this, the share of the losses of GPL (40%) in the

joint venture is not provided in the books of the Company. In the unlikely situation of not awarding the

entire amount of claims, GPL has to provide an amount of Rs. 537.80 Millions towards its share of 40% in

the IJM-Gayatri Joint Venture.

b) Gayatri – ECI JV

Gayatri-ECI JV, a joint venture between ECI Engineering & Construction Company Limited and Gayatri

Projects Limited with a sharing ratio of 50:50. The joint venture is executing road projects in Assam,

namely AS-10,AS-11 and AS-27 awarded by NHAI.

The joint venture due to extraneous and law and order problems in the State could not progress the work as

planned and hence incurred losses of Rs. 296.30 Millions till year 2008-09. However due to changed

strategy of the company and over all improvement of the law and order situation, the progress of the work

has improved substantially and the joint venture has posted a profit of Rs. 48.17 Millions during the year

2009-10 and to that extent the accumulated losses have been recovered. Since now the substantial portion

of the project work has started, the losses incurred in the earlier years can be recovered from these profits.

Hence, the losses in the joint venture are not considered by the parent company.

LIMITED REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors, Gayatri Projects Limited

B1, 6-3-1090, TSR Towers,

Rajbhavan Road, Somajiguda,

Hyderabad – 500 082.

1. We have reviewed the accompanying Standalone Balance Sheet of Gayatri Projects Limited (“the Company”) as at 30 September, 2010 and the Standalone Profit and Loss for the period ended on that date and the accompanying Schedules. These statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review.

2. We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2400

“Engagements to Review Financial Statements”, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.

3. Based on our review, subject to Note 4 of II of Schedule No.18 regarding non-provisions for the losses incurred by joint ventures, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Standalone Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies stated in the Schedule No.18 and other recognized accounting practices and policies contain any material misstatement.

4. This certificate is issued at the request of the Company and in accordance with the terms of engagement letter dated January 24, 2011 received from the Company, for the proposed rights issue under the SEBI Regulations.

The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based upon management best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from the estimates. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known/ materialized.

3. Revenue recognition

i) Income is recognized on fixed price construction contracts in accordance with the percentage completion

basis, which necessarily involve technical estimates of the percentage of completion, and costs to completion, of each contract / activity, on the basis of which profits and losses are accounted. Such estimates, made by the Company and certified to the Auditors have been relied upon by them, as these are of technical nature.

ii) The stage of completion of contracts is measured by reference to the proportion that contract costs

incurred for work performed up to the reporting date bear to the estimated total contract costs for each contract.

iii) Price escalation and other claims and/or variation in the contract work are included in contract revenue

only when: a) Negotiations have reached at an advanced stage such that it is probable that customer will accept

the claim; and b) The amount that is probable will be accepted by the customer can be measured reliably.

iv) Incentive payments, as per customer-specified performance standards, are included in contract revenue

only when:

a) The contract is sufficiently advanced that it is probable that the specified performance standards will be met; and

b) The amount of the incentive payment can be measured reliably.

v) Insurance claims are accounted for on cash basis. 4. Revenue receipts on Joint Venture Contracts

a) In work sharing Joint Venture arrangements, revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are

Page 138: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

126

accounted for in the Company’s books to the extent work is executed by the Company. b) In jointly controlled entities, the share of profits or losses is accounted as and when dividend/

share of profit or loss are declared by the entities.

5. Inventories and work in progress

Raw Materials, construction materials and stores & spares are valued at weighted average cost. Expenditure incurred during the work in progress of contracts up to the stage of completion is carried forward as work-in-progress. Cost includes direct material, work expenditure, labour cost and appropriate overheads.

6. Fixed assets and Depreciation

(i) Fixed Assets are stated at cost of acquisition, less accumulated depreciation thereon. Expenditure

which are capital in nature are capitalized at cost, which comprises of purchase price (net of rebates and discounts), import duties, levies, financing costs and all other expenditure directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Capital Work in Progress comprises advances paid to acquire fixed assets and the cost of fixed assets not ready for their intended use as at the reporting date of the financial statements.

(ii) Depreciation is provided on straight line method at the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the

Companies Act, 1956. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of lease. 7. Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign exchange transactions are accounted at the rates prevailing on the date of transactions. Monetary assets and current liabilities related to foreign currency transactions remaining unsettled at the end of the year are translated at year end rates. The difference in translation of monetary assets and liabilities and realized gains and losses on foreign exchange transactions are recognized in the Profit and Loss Account.

8. Investments

Investments are classified as long term and current investments. Long Term Investments are carried at cost less provision for permanent diminution, if any, in value of such investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Dividend income is accounted when the right to receive dividend is established.

9. Employee Benefits

Liability for employee benefits, both short and long term, for present and past service which are due as per the terms of employment are recorded in accordance with Accounting Standard (AS) 15 “Employee Benefits” issued by the Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006. i) Gratuity

In accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 the Company provides for Gratuity covering eligible employees. The liability on account of Gratuity is provided on the basis of valuation of the liability by an independent actuary as at the year end. ii) Provident Fund

In accordance with applicable local laws, eligible employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund, a defined contribution plan to which both the employee and employer contributes monthly at a determined rate (currently up to 12% of an employee’s salary).

Page 139: GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED - sebi.gov.in · GAYATRI PROJECTS LIMITED (Our Company was originally incorporated as “Andhra Coastal Constructions Private Limited” pursuant to a certificate

127

Liability for compensated absence is treated as a long term liability and is provided on the basis of valuation by an independent actuary as at the year end.

10. Deferred Revenue Expenditure

Projects and Other amenities expenditure incurred up to March 31, 2010, the benefit of which is spread over more than one year is grouped under Prepaid Expenditure and is amortized over the period in which benefits would be derived.

11. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of such asset. A qualifying asset is one that requires substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.

12. Leases

Assets taken on finance lease are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value or the present value of minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and interest cost, so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on outstanding liability for each period. Operating leases in respect of office & other equipment, house for employees, Office buildings are cancelable / renewable by mutual consent on agreed terms. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account.

13. Earnings per Share (EPS)

In arriving at the EPS, the Company’s net profit after tax, computed in terms of the Indian GAAP, is divided by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding on the last day of the reporting period. The EPS thus arrived at is known as ‘Basic EPS’. To arrive at the diluted EPS the net profit after tax, referred above, is divided by the weighted average number of equity shares, as computed above and the weighted average number of equity share that could have been issued on conversion of shares having potential dilutive effect subject to the terms of issue of those potential shares. The date/s of issue of such potential shares determine the amount of the weighted average number potential equity shares.

14. Taxation

i) Current Tax

Provision for Current tax is made based on the liability computed in accordance with the relevant tax rates and provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961.

ii) Deferred Taxes

Deferred Tax is accounted for by computing the tax effect of timing differences which arise during the year and reverse in subsequent periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized and carried forward 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 realized.

15. Impairment of Fixed Assets

The carrying amount of assets, other than inventories is reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use which is determined based on the estimated future cash flow discounted to their present values. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

4. Joint Venture Losses not considered

a) IJM-Gayatri Joint Venture

The IJM – Gayatri Joint Venture is a joint venture in which IJM Corporation Berhad, Malaysia holds 60%

and Gayatri Projects Limited holds 40% share. The Joint venture has executed road works in Package I, II

& III and AP 13 of NHAI, APSH 7 and APSH 8 in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The joint venture incurred

excess of expenditure over income amounting to Rs. 1344.50 Millions due to several contractual failures

on part of the employer.

The JV has raised claims in excess of Rs. 3,000 Millions on the National Highways Authority of India and

Andhra Pradesh State Government, which are pending for consideration before the appropriate

authorities. There is substantial progress in the proceedings in the arbitration and the management is

reasonably confident of recovery of these claims. During the year under review in the matter of dispute out

of the work of the “Warangal-Khammam- Tallada Road work”, the committee of Arbitrators has awarded

a claim of Rs. 124.20 Millions in favour of joint venture.

The management has also obtained independent legal opinion from eminent counsel in this regard who

have opined on the recoverability of the claims. In view of this, the share of the losses of GPL (40%) in the

joint venture is not provided in the books of the Company. In the unlikely situation of not awarding the

entire amount of claims, GPL has to provide an amount of Rs. 537.80 Millions towards its share of 40% in

the IJM-Gayatri Joint Venture.

b) Gayatri – ECI JV Gayatri-ECI JV, a joint venture between ECI Engineering & Construction Company Limited and Gayatri

Projects Limited with a sharing ratio of 50:50. The joint venture is executing road projects in Assam,

namely AS-10, AS-11 and AS-27 awarded by NHAI.

The joint venture due to extraneous and law and order problems in the State could not progress the work as

planned and hence incurred losses of Rs. 296.30 Millions till year 2008-09. However due to changed

strategy of the company and over all improvement of the law and order situation, the progress of the work

has improved substantially and the joint venture has posted a profit of Rs. 23.49 Millions during the period

ended 30th

September, 2010 and to that extent the accumulated losses have been recovered. Since now the

substantial portion of the project work has started, the losses incurred in the earlier years can be recovered

from these profits. Hence, the losses in the joint venture are not considered by the parent company.

d) Other Joint ventures

Profit / (Loss) of all other joint ventures, other than the above, are recognized in the books. 5. Earning Per Share (EPS)

LIMITED REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors, Gayatri Projects Limited

B1, 6-3-1090, TSR Towers,

Rajbhavan Road, Somajiguda,

Hyderabad – 500 082.

1. We have reviewed the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of Gayatri Projects Limited (“the Company”) as at 30 September, 2010 and the Consolidated Profit and Loss for the period ended on that date and the accompanying Schedules. These statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review.

2. We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2400

“Engagements to Review Financial Statements”, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.

3. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss prepared in accordance with the Accounting Policies stated in the Schedule No.18 and other recognized accounting practices and policies contain any material misstatement.

4. This certificate is issued at the request of the Company and in accordance with the terms of engagement letter dated January 24, 2011 received from the Company, for the proposed rights issue under the SEBI Regulations.

Although these estimates are based upon management best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from the estimates. Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known /materialized.

3. Revenue recognition

that the total contract costs will exceed the total contract revenue.

iv) Price escalation and other claims and/or variation in the contract work are included in contract revenue only when: a) Negotiations have reached at an advanced stage such that it is probable that customer will accept

An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

16. Provisions for Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources.

LIMITED REVIEW REPORT

Review Report to M/s. Gayatri Projects Limited We have reviewed the accompanying statement of un-audited financial results of M/s.Gayatri Projects

Limited for the period ended 31st December, 2010 except for the disclosures regarding ‘Public Shareholding’ and ‘Promoter and Promoter Group Shareholding’ which have been traced from disclosures made by the management and have not been audited by us. This statement is the responsibility of the Company’s Management and has been approved by the Board of Directors/Committee of Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2400, engagements to Review Financial Statements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statement of un-audited financial results prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and other recognized accounting practices and policies has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Clause 41 of the Listing Agreement including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

Application in electronic mode will only be available with such SCSB who provides such facility.

However, no more than five (5) applications (including CAF and plain paper application) can be submitted per bank account in the Issue. In case of withdrawal / failure of the Issue, the Lead Manager, through the Registrar to the Issue, shall notify the SCSBs to unblock the blocked amount of the Equity Shareholder applying through ASBA within one (1) day from the day of receipt of such notification.

Mode of payment

The Equity Shareholder applying under the ASBA Process agrees to block the entire amount payable on application with the submission of the CAF, by authorizing the SCSB to block an amount, equivalent to the amount payable on application, in a bank account maintained with the SCSB.

After verifying that sufficient funds are available in the bank account provided in the CAF, the SCSB shall block an amount equivalent to the amount payable on application mentioned in the CAF until it receives instructions from the Registrars. Upon receipt of intimation from the Registrar, the SCSBs shall transfer such amount as per Registrar’s instruction allocable to the Eligible Equity Shareholders applying under the ASBA Process from bank account with the SCSB mentioned by the Equity Shareholder in the CAF. This amount will be transferred in terms of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, into the separate bank account maintained by our Company as per the provisions of Section 73(3) of the Companies Act. The balance amount remaining after the finalization of the basis of allotment shall be either unblocked by the SCSBs or refunded to the investors by the Registrar on the basis of the instructions issued in this regard by the Registrar to the Issue and the Lead Manager to the respective SCSB.

The Eligible Equity Shareholders applying under the ASBA Process would be required to block the entire amount payable on their application at the time of the submission of the CAF.

The SCSB may reject the application at the time of acceptance of CAF if the bank account with the SCSB details of which have been provided by the Equity Shareholder in the CAF does not have sufficient funds equivalent to the amount payable on application mentioned in the CAF or (ii) more than five (5) applications (including CAF and plain paper application) are submitted per account held with the SCSB in the Issue.
