8 Annual Report 2018 - 19

Performance of the CompanyThe performance of your company in terms of new acquisitions made during the year has been low and much below the projections made in the business plan. However, it is gratifying to note that the company registered significant increase in the recoveries made and the income earned for the year. Provisional figures indicate that the ARCs in aggregate have issued SRs equivalent to R 24,500 crores during the year, of which more than 75% was acquired by the four large ARCs, comprising of either the large ticket advances or portfolios in bulk. Apart from repetition of unsold accounts, banks have not showcased much of the new NPAs for sale, which explains for the poor deal closures. Unfortunately, banks continue to be rigid on Reserve Prices, that are fixed not based on the realizable value of underlying securities; not factoring the process and litigation time, etc. Apparently, the Chief Vigilance Commissioner’s recent guidelines to banks to attempt atleast one sale of secured assets through SARFAESI before they are sold to ARCs, have influenced the banks more in adhering to the guidelines than ensuring success of such sales. Secondly, in the back drop of RBI guidelines warranting banks to continue with the provisioning even after sale of NPAs to ARCs, banks have moved to all cash sales. And with resources constraint, only few ARCs have been able to mop up sizeable business during the year.

Your company, keeping in view its main objective of resolving acquired debts expeditiously and with a reasonable return on its investments, had bid for 6 accounts with an aggregate outstanding debt of R499.33 crores for a bid amount of R58.88 crores. Though, all the bids placed by the company were declared highest, deals were concluded in just 2 accounts with an outstanding due of R78.83 crores for an acquisition cost of R28.35 crores.

On the resolution side, your company has recovered R49.09 crores in 19 accounts as against R37.25 crores recovered in 13 accounts during the previous year. It is heartening note that in 7 accounts, SRs are fully redeemed within an average period of 15 months from the date of their acquisition. The recoveries made during the FY represent 21.60% of Assets Under Management (AUM).

A summary of the debts acquired and realized during the financial year is given below.

Implementation of Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind-AS’)Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind-AS’) is a global accounting practice that mandates specified companies/NBFCs/banks/Insurance companies to adopt, which may lead to initial credit losses. The practice is on par with the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9. The provisioning requirement would be higher as the company will have to provide for expected losses than incurred losses.

Your company, being an ARC having net worth below R250 Crores, is not covered under the provisions notified by Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India. As such, Accounting Standards specified in Annexure to Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 shall continue to apply. Accordingly, financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India, regulatory norms / guidelines prescribed

Acquired 2018-19 2017-18

Number of seller Banks/FIs 2 4

Debt acquired 7883.49 43786.00

Cost of acquisition 2835.49 13951.00

Recovered 2018-19 2017-18

by Reserve Bank of India, the Companies Act, 2013 read with rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 to the extent applicable and the prevalent accounting practices in India and Accounting Policy approved by the Board.

Capital Raising & Capital Adequacy RatioDuring FY 2018-19, the paid-up capital of the company has increased to R97.00 crores by issue of fresh equity shares. As on March 31, 2019, the issued, subscribed and paid-up share capital of your company was R97,00,00,000 comprising of 9,70,00,000 equity shares of R10 each.

a) Issue of further Share Capital:During the Financial Year, the Company has issued 3,40,51,400 equity shares of R10 each for cash at par for a sum of R34,05,14,000/- (Rupees Thirty-Four Crores Five Lakhs Fourteen thousand only) by way of preferential allotment / Private Placement basis to the promoters, shareholders and other persons. The details of allotment of shares are as follows:

S. No. Date of Allotment No. of Shares allotted

1 17.12.2018 87,50,000

2 28.03.2019 2,53,01,400

Your company has not issued any equity shares with differential voting rights.

Your company is well capitalized and has a Capital Adequacy Ratio (‘CAR’), of 243.18% as on 31.03.2019 as against the requirement of 15% specified by RBI.

Net Owned FundsWith increase in paid up share capital from R62.95 crores to R97.00 crores and with the addition of R10.69 crores balance in P&L account, Net Owned Funds (NOF) of the company increased to R107.69 crores duly complying with the RBI minimum NOF norm of R100.00 crores to be achieved by 31.03.2019.

DividendThough your company registered net profit for the year, your Directors have not recommended any dividend for the financial year ended 31st March, 2019 in order to augment the resources of the company.

Transfer to ReservesYour Directors have not recommended transfer of any amounts to the general reserves during the year.

Management Discussion & AnalysisBarring the top few, ARCs by and large have not been able to make big strides during FY 2018 - 19. It is reported by RBI that Private Sector Banks have been most aggressive on asset sales,while PSBs lagged mainly owing to large haircuts and various management issues.The other factors influencing deceleration in sale of stressed assts to ARCs are:

a) PSBs have strengthened in-house expertise for recovering NPAs,spurred by the need for faster resolution.

b) The fond hope and expectation of the banks in speedy resolution through IBC.

c) Banks getting influenced by the CVC guidelines.

d) Unwillingness on the part of Banks to co-invest in the acquisitions, firstly because of unsatisfactory redemption rate of SRs and secondly for the reason that the realisations are far below the banks’ expectations, all of which have ressulted in a major shift in sale of NPAs from SR mode to cash mode.

RBI in its review of ARCs as reported in Financial Stability Report of June 2019, noted that while the recovery performance for assets that originated after 2014 is showing a precipitous decline, the recovery performance is relatively impressive in smaller portfolios.

Page 10: maneuvering the complexities in NPA resolution

10 Annual Report 2018 - 19

A critical examination of financial assets securitised by ARCs as at the end of the June 2018 reveals that as against an aggregate outstanding of R 1,02,300 Crores SRs issued by the ARCs, the SRs subscribed by the Banks constitute 80%; ARCs is 17%; FI’s and QIBs is a minuscule 3% which demonstrates the poor investment appetite of QIBs in stressed assets, probably for the stated reason that the ARCs have not been able to reach the market expectations both in terms of redemption and return on SRs..

On recoveries side, RBI has reported that as at the end of July 18, the amount of SRs fully redeemed is R 8,800 Cr which is less than 10% of the total outstanding SRs. A comparision of recoveries made through various channels reveals that:

Against a total claim of R 2,95,600 cr, the aggregate amount recovered through various channels is R 40,400 cr, out of which recovery through SARFAESI alone is R 26,500 cr constituting 65.7% of total recoveries, whereas recoveries through DRTs is R 7,200 cr(17.8%); IBC is R 4,900 cr(12.1%) followed by Lok Adalats with a recovery of R 1,800 cr(4.4%).

CRISIL in it’s May, 2019 report commented that The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code(IBC), which has completed three years, has gained traction with every passing year and helped contain both existing NPAs and fresh slippages in the banking system. As of Mar 2019, 94 cases had been resolved under IBC, with a recovery rate of 43% and an average resolution timeline of 324 days-much better than other recovery mechanisms available and is considerably faster than the recovery time of 3.5 - 4 years taken by ARCs, though it is a matter of concern that on an average 4 out of 5 cases have gone for liquidation.

Future OutlookRBI in it’s Financial Stability Report of Jun,19 reported that the increased pace at which NPAs were recognised led to the NPA cycle peaking in March, 2018. With most of the NPAs already recognised, the NPA cycle turned around with GNPA ratio declining to 9.3 per cent in March 2019, equivalent of R9.34 lakh crores. It is further pointed out that GNPA ratio of Scheduled Commercial Banks may decline to 9.0% by March, 2020.Therefore despite improved recovery performance of banks, the challenges remain. ARCs, that have an easy access to funds, will continue to have lot of opportunities for augmenting their business.

Moody’s Investors Services has recently cautioned that economic growth in India over the next 12-18 months will remain weaker than the previous years, which, in turn, could lead to the creation of new NPAs in the retail and small and medium-enterprise segment.

During the year, your company had discussions with certain FIIs, who have evinced keen interest in partenering with the company in its acquisitions. Considering the assured support, your company is all geared up to acquire even large size debts/portfolios that fall within the policy framework of the company.

Internal Control SystemsThe company has in place adequate internal control systems to ensure transparency, effectiveness, efficiency of operations and compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

The company also has well documented policies covering every segment of its operations and has laid down set of standards, processes which enable effective implementation of internal financial controls and ensure that the same are adequate and operating effectively.

To further strengthen controls / systems, your Board has approved the appointment of a reputed audit firms as internal & GST auditors.

Independent Auditors’ ReportTo the Members of M/s Maximus ARC Limited

Report on the Financial StatementsOpinionWe have audited the accompanying financial statements of M/s Maximus ARC Limited (‘the Company’) which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2019 the Statement of Profit and Loss and the Cash Flow Statement for the period ended March 31, 2019 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March, 2019, its profit and Cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with the standard on auditing specified under section 143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are Independent of the Company in accordance with the code of the ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the code of ethics.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereonThe Company’s board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Page 38: maneuvering the complexities in NPA resolution

38 Annual Report 2018 - 19

Management’s responsibility for the financial statementsThe Company’s board of directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134 (5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the accounting standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The board of directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

» Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

» Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

» Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

» Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may

Page 39: maneuvering the complexities in NPA resolution

39Annual Report 2018 - 19

cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

» Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Act, we give in the “Annexure-A”, a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.

Annexure ‘B’ to The Independent Auditor’s Report(Referred to in paragraph 2 (f) under ‘Report on other legal and regulatory requirements’ section of our report to the Members of M/s Maximus ARC Limited of even date)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of M/s Maximus ARC Limited (‘the Company’) as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Financial ControlsThe Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI’). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditors’ ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial ReportingA company’s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide

Page 44: maneuvering the complexities in NPA resolution

44 Annual Report 2018 - 19

reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial ReportingBecause of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

OpinionIn our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

The reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is recognized in the statement of profit and loss. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is re-assessed, and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount subject to a maximum of the depreciable historical cost.

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of equity shares and dilutive potential equity shares outstanding at year end.

13. Provisions and contingencies Contingent liabilities are possible but not probable obligation as on the balance sheet date, based on the available

evidence. Provision are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of past event; and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are determined based on best estimates required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements.

14. Operating cycle concept under Schedule III All the assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company’s normal operating

cycle and other criteria set out in Schedule-III to the Act. Based on the nature of the services and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has ascertained its operating cycle as twelve months for the purpose of current or non-current classification of assets and liabilities. The same principle has been followed in case of classification of Investments in Security Receipts.

Ultra Trust established in 1981 manages educational institutions located in Chennai & Madurai providing quality education in diversified faculties such as Dental, Nursing, Pharma, Physiotherapy, Engineering & Technology, Business Administration, etc.

The institutions with a student strength of 5000, underwent serious financial stress for various reasons resulting in the trust accounts turning NPA.

Ultra Trust: Madurai

Maximus ARC, soon after acquiring the debt in Dec’2017, restructured the same on very soft terms providing an executable repayment schedule.

An year after reconstruction of the debt, the institutions are up and running and the trust is able to comfortably manage its cash flows and service the debt.

yet another story of revival…
