In exercise of this option the institutions have converted rupee term loans to extent of Rs. 253.42 lakhs during the year 1992-93.

IDBI & IFCI have filed a suit before the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT), Madras and ICICI have filed a suit before the Debt Recovery Tribunal, Mumbai for recovery of their dues.

(ii) ICICI has also sued the Company before the Mumbai High Court & an Official Receiver has been appointed who has taken possession of the suit securities on 14.08.1998. Mumbai High Court transferred this case to DRT Mumbai. On request of ICICI, DRT Mumbai has appointed a Private Receiver in place of Court Receiver. As per direction of DRT Mumbai, ICICI / Receiver inserted an advertisement in the newspaper on 27.11.2002 for sale / disposal of Assets of the company viz Floating Dry Docks, machineries, furniture and fixtures, vehicle and stores and spares etc. on as is where is basis and as is what is basis. These assets as intimated by DRT Receiver have since been disposed off.

(iii) Pending decision in the matter of company's claim on ICICI (Lead Bank) amounting to Rs. 210 crores, on account of their loss and negligence which resulted in a total loss of company's most valuable assets which had a value more than sufficient to meet the claims of all secured and/or unsecured creditors. By failing to carry out timely maintenance despite reminders from the Court Receiver, High Court, Mumbai and others the financial institutions allowed dissipation and ultimate destruction of the two dry docks and other imported & indigenous machineries. Therefore the cost of fixed assets (net of relevant revaluation reserve) less depreciation provided till the date of disposal and value of inventories aggregating to Rs. 48.81 crores as intimated by DRT Receiver has been deducted from secured loans. In view of above, the management is of the considered opinion that no amount whatsoever is due and payable to the Financial Institutions.

(iv) Owing to the recall of loans by the Financial Institutions, the liability in respect of foreign currency loans has been accounted in terms of Indian rupees. Hence the adjustment with respect to variation in the foreign exchange rates from 1st April 1997 has neither been considered necessary, nor provided.
