The Company, after filing an appeal against this order with the AIFR, challenged the order in the High Court of Madras and has obtained an Interim stay of this order of the BIFR. The interim after filing an appeal against this order with the AIFR, challenged the order in the High Court of Madras and has obtained an "Interim stay' of this order of the BIFR.

The Madras High Court disposed off the writ petition on I2th September 2006, giving an option to approach AIFR in respect of the show cause notice issued by BIFR in 2003, as the body was very much functional. The Company had since filed a petition before the AIFR and the same has been disposed off by AIFR in Dec 2009.

BIFR has in the meanwhile abated our case on 07.05.2007 pursuant to ICICI having represented that they have taken over the Fixed assets of the Company at Utukur Village Nellore , Bandikavanur near Chennai, Kadapakkam near Chennai, Bheemunipatnam Vishakapatnam and Machilipatnam in the year 2007 by invoking SARFEAST Act,2002.

SUBSIDIARIES

There has been no business in Seal Fisheries Limited during the previous year due to non availability of funds. The Company which had been saddled with huge Income Tax demand had gone on appeal and the same had been decided in favour of the company. The Company subsequently received part of the refund and has not been able to plan any other venture as the amount has not been sufficient. The Audited statements of Seal Fisheries Ltd. Together with Report of the Directors and Auditors for the year ended 31st March 2010 arc attached herewith.

As already stated in our earlier Report, M/S Alsa Europe was declared bankrupt in the year 1998 and the affairs handed over to a curator. Information about the statement of affairs of the Subsidiary including its assets and liabilities was not forthcoming from the Curator. Suitable provision for diminution in the value of Investments have already been made in an earlier year.

As mentioned in our earlier Report, in the proceedings initiated against Alsa Europe and your Company, KBC Bank (formerly Krediet Bank) had got a decision from the Commercial Court, Antwerp, in their favour. KBC Bank has since moved the High Court of Madras for enforcing the decree against the Company. Their plea for attachment before judgement, has been dismissed by the High Court of Madras. The matter is pending trial before the High Court of Madras,

PROSPECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR

The Company's plants at Kolkatta and Vishakapatnam (together with Land and Building), uninstalled machinery at Bandikavanoor, Farm at Nellore, Land at Kadapakkam have been sold by ICICI Bank and Land at satyavedu has been taken by IFCI and as such the Company is left with no worthwhile asset to carry on the processing activity. Further the other plants at Kochi, Bhubaneswar and Chennai where the Company was functioning on leased out plants have also been stopped by the Lessors due to non payment of their dues and the labour dues. The machinery which were put in these plants have not been returned to the Company owing to heavy dues at these plants and the state of these assets over a ten year period is unascertainable. Your Board is looking at opportunities for offering Consultancy in the Sea food field.
