Management believes that the approved CDR scheme of the Company and the aspects like inviting strategic investors, disposal of non-core assets would also bring in the additional cash flows into the system, and hence no adjustments are required in the financial statements and accordingly, these have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The Corporate debt restructuring (CDR) proposal to re- structure existing debt obligations, including interest, additional funding and other terms (hereafter referred to as "the CDR Scheme") of the Company, having January 01, 2013 as the "cut-off date", was approved by the CDR Cell vide its Letter of Approval (LOA) dated December 28, 2013 as further modified dated February 03, 2014.

The Hon''ble High Court vide its Order dated March 20, 2014 has permitted the signing of Master Restructuring Agreement (MRA) keeping the hearing in the suit adjourned to August 21, 2014. Upon execution of the Master Restructuring Agreement (MRA) with ten CDR lenders Company started the process of fulfilling the other conditions precedent. Pursuant to the CDR Scheme, inter alia other conditions, the promoters were required to bring in Promoter contribution, which has already been infused. On the basis of MRA executed with the CDR lenders, the Company has accounted for impact of the CDR scheme (reclassifications and interest calculations) in the financial results for the year ended March 31, 2014 up to the extent agreed with those CDR lenders. From the "cut- off date" the interest on the restructured debts has been recomputed and provided at the effective interest rates as per the CDR Scheme. Interest reversal of Rs. 18.44 Million pertaining to period from cut-off dates to March 31, 2013 has been shown as an exceptional item during the year. Reclassification and other adjustments as recorded above are subject to reconciliation with the lender banks.
