Forward Looking StatementsIn this Annual Report, we have shared information and

made forward looking statements to enable investors

to know our product portfolio, business logic and

direction and comprehend our prospects. Such and

other statements - written and oral - that we may

periodically make are based on our assumptions.

We have tried wherever possible to identify such

statements by using words such as ‘anticipate’,

‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘project’ and words of

similar substance in connection with any discussion of

future performance. We cannot guarantee that these

forward looking statements will be realized although

we believe we have been prudent in our assumptions.

the achievement of results is subject to uncertainties,

risks and even inaccurate assumptions. If uncertainties

or known or unknown risks materialize or if underlying

assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results can vary

materially from those anticipated, estimated, intended,

planned or projected. Readers may please bear this in

mind. We undertake no obligation to publicly update

any forward looking statements, whether as a result of

new information, future events or otherwise.

Logo the logo portrays a diya whose constituents are an

earthen pot, ghee, a wick and a flame. Our actions

(symbolized by the ghee) will remain within the

boundary of ethics (symbolized by the earthen pot)

and we will through hard work (symbolized by the

wick) achieve our purpose (symbolized by the flame).

Driven by Values

In an environment where change is a way of life, continuity of Values is fundamental to us. We have therefore formalised key Values and are committed to institutionalise them:

Integrity

The foundation of every relationship is trust, and

trust is based on Integrity. Integrity means working

with honesty, following the highest standards of

professionalism. Integrity is when our decisions and

actions remain consistent with our thoughts and

words, written or spoken.

Understanding

How well one works with others depends on his (her)

ways to connect, and this in turn is based on his

(her) level of Understanding of human relationships.

Understanding does not mean accepting poor

performance, but it means doing it the right way.

Understanding is not only an external manifestation,

but also an internal realisation.

Unity

Living in a state of oneness brings Unity. Unity means

working together and taking advantage of synergy

while harnessing unique abilities of each individual

to achieve a larger goal. Unity is the realisation that

though we may work in different areas, we are finally

interconnected and that interdependence is a higher

order of living than independence; though we may

be many, we share a common destiny.

Responsibility

Responsibility implies doing whatever it takes to

deliver value and taking ownership of our actions.

Responsibility must also give rise to the realisation

that what is good for the business must be in the

overall good; in other words, working in the spirit of

trusteeship not only for the shareholders, but also for

other stakeholders such that ultimately what comes

from the society goes back to it many times over.

Excellence

Excellence is a drive that is more from inside than

outside; it is about one seeking to continuously

improve and better performance. Excellence means

endeavouring to achieve the highest possible

standards in our day to day work; it means to develop

an inspiring and substantial vision and realise it. In

many ways, Excellence is also a journey, not simply a

destination in itself.

We will seek to create an environment wherein the aforementioned Values are consistently practised and nurtured and ensure that they are not compromised to realise short term gains.

Amal Ltd Annual Report 2009-104 /

Dear Friends,

Even as the performance of Amal has been dismal more often than not and the confidence of the stakeholders may have got shaken and though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, the Management of the Company is committed to rebuild the business and actively shape its future.

Once the Board of Industrial Finance and Restructuring (BIFR) approved the revival scheme on July 17, 2009, the Company took initiatives to build the foundation for the future. Some quick actions have been completed, but a lot more will have to be done to grow in a sustainable way.

Two projects have already been identified: one, to debottleneck the capacity of the existing plant and two, to introduce a new product in which the Company will be able to effectively compete worldwide. The challenge is to undertake these projects without too much leveraging the Balance Sheet.

The Company has also developed a new logo as explained in the inner cover page; the objective is to work with a renewed mindset. Furthermore, being a company promoted by Atul Ltd, the Company has adopted and is pursuing common Purpose and Values and will stand by them in conducting its business.

Mr Naresh Singhal, former Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Shipping Credit and Investment Corporation of India Ltd and Mr Bharat Trivedi, former President of Information Technology of Atul Ltd have joined the Board of the Company as Independent Non-executive Directors.

Mr Vasudev Koppaka, President of Aromatics Division of Atul, has been appointed as the Managing Director of

the Company; Mr Gopi Kannan Thirukonda, President, Finance of Atul Ltd and I have also joined the Board as Non-executive Directors.

The Audit Committee has decided to assign the internal audit function to Ernst & Young. Furthermore, the Board has recommended appointment of Haribhakti & Co as the new Statutory Auditors of the Company. Both Ernst & Young and Haribhakti & Co are reputed firms in the two respective functions.

I am looking forward to the future wherein the Company will grow faster and fulfill its obligation of serving all its stakeholders in many ways. This will happen as the people of Amal will face without fear the challenges and garner that enduring human Spirit that does not quit.

I seek your support on the path to the future.

With best wishes,

Sincerely,

Sunil S Lalbhai

Letter from the Managing Director

Dear Friends,

I am delighted to write to you my first letter as the Managing Director of Amal, the position I am privileged to hold since July 22, 2010. The business environment is volatile and the task on hand of reviving our Company may not be easy, but the test of leadership and Management is to perform ‘in all seasons’, and I want to assure you that my colleagues and I are committed to do all that is required to significantly enhance the performance.

Sales remained low at Rs 525 lacs and loss from operations was Rs 93 lacs. As a consequence of receiving the approval from the Board for Industrial Finance and Restructuring to the revival scheme, waivers from creditors were credited to the Profit and Loss Account resulting in a net profit of Rs 378 lacs.

We signed an agreement on June 01, 2010 to supply excess steam coming from Sulfuric Acid plant to a neighbouring company. We are now in the process of further debottlenecking Sulfuric Acid plant to 140 tonnes per day (tpd); the same will be completed during this fiscal. We are also actively pursuing a project to manufacture a chemical intermediate used in the pharmaceutical industry and will shortly decide the way forward. Both these projects are sanctioned by the BIFR.

During the first quarter of the current fiscal, sales have reached Rs 449 lacs from Rs 1.84 lacs and profit from operations was Rs 60.39 lacs as against a loss of Rs 37.98 lacs. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we will improve the performance of our Company during the current fiscal. We are also working and have already improved the manufacturing site at

Ankleshwar as you will be able to notice from the photographs on page 9.

The Company has an accumulated loss of Rs 3884 lacs and we will work to wipe out the loss as well as the consequent negative net worth as soon as possible. In addition, we are exploring other projects which are in sync with our existing operations and beyond. Finally, we are in the process of revaluing our assets so as to correctly reflect their market value and on that basis the net worth of our Company. This exercise will be completed during 2010-11.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the employees for standing by the Company in difficult times and showing their long term commitment and dedication. I also wish to thank the Directors on the Board of the Company for their advice and guidance. We are in the process of approaching the banks for providing the working capital facilities as well as the long term loans which will be required for executing the above projects.

In this journey of rebuilding our Company, I look forward to your support.

With best wishes,

Sincerely,

Vasudev Koppaka

DividendThe Directors regret their inability to recommend any

dividend considering the loss from operations for the

year and also the accumulated loss of ` 3884 lacs as

on March 31, 2010.

ProfitabilityThe Company incurred loss from operations of ̀ 93 lacs

though after adjusting for the waiver received on one

time settlement with unsecured creditors, it showed

Profit After Tax of ` 378 lacs. It may not be out of

place to mention here that the Company made profit

from operations of ` 38 lacs from its bulk chemicals

business. However, after providing for depreciation for

its erstwhile manufacturing facilities in Valsad, now

closed, the Company incurred the aforementioned

loss.

Finance The Company has started its operations without any

borrowing from the banks or financial institutions. It will

obtain loans for working capital and even for executing

new projects after obtaining requisite approvals.

Safety, Health and Environment The Company accords high priority to safety, health

fully comply with the norms stipulated by the Gujarat

Pollution Control Board. The treated water is discharged

operating at 100 tpd. A proposal was submitted to BIFR

Sulfuric Acid plant to 140 tpd and diversification into

pMPA, a pharma intermediate. The approval of BIFR

has been received on June 18, 2010 and effective steps

are being taken to implement this expansion.

and other assets, profit and third parties.

Management Discussion and Analysis

OperationsThe Company manufactures Sulfuric Acid, Oleum 65%, Oleum 25%, Sulfur Trioxide and Sulfur Dioxide at its

manufacturing site at Ankleshwar; these are bulk chemicals manufactured from Sulfur. The plant is currently

operating at 100 tpd and effective steps are being taken to expand the capacity to 140 tpd. The benefit of

this initiative is expected from the current fiscal. The Company at this time is not manufacturing H-acid at its

Valsad site.

Page 12: Rebuilding - Bombay Stock Exchange...The foundation of every relationship is trust, and trust is based on Integrity. Integrity means working with honesty, following the highest standards

Amal Ltd Annual Report 2009-1010 / 11

Bulk chemicals are used in several industries; Construction,

Paint & Coatings, Crop Protection, Dyestuff, Flavour &

Fragrance, Pharmaceutical, Polymer, etc. These chemicals

are generally sold within a radius of 150 km or less of

the manufacturing site. Many companies have such plants

mainly for their captive consumption. Dye intermediates

are used in the manufacture of dyestuffs. China and India

are the two largest manufacturers of dyestuffs in the

world, the former much bigger than the later.

The Company is exploring new value added products

which are in sync with the existing operations. Meanwhile,

it is debottlenecking the capacity of its bulk chemicals

and will supply excess steam of its Sulfuric Acid plant to

a neighbouring company for which an agreement has

been signed during the current fiscal. It is also considering

manufacture of pMPA, a pharma intermediate. Bulk

chemicals are cyclical in nature, and the business of the

Company still revolves mainly around bulk chemicals. On

the whole, the performance is expected to improve.

Internal Controls The Company has developed over the years and put in

place a reasonable internal control system for safeguarding

the assets of the Company to prevent and detect fraud or

any other irregularity.

Human Resources The production and sales activities of the Company have

started at Ankleshwar and recruitment of manpower

has been done to support the activities. However, all the

workmen and management staff at Valsad plant were

relieved. The Company is having a small team of employees

at its Head Office for attending to day-to-day work.

12. Going Concern

The Company has at March 31, 2010, accumulated losses of ̀ 388,425.35 (thousands) resulting in a negative net worth of ` 203,888.70 (thousands). During the year the current liabilities exceed current assets by ` 15,496.86 (thousands). The Company has restarted its manufacturing operations at Ankleshwar site and as such, it is considered as a going concern. In view of the complete erosion of the net worth, a reference was made to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) which was registered by BIFR in September 2005 and the Company was declared sick by BIFR on July 20, 2006. However, all potential losses and expenses have been booked during the year.

13. The Company has recasted the creditors as per the guidelines of BIFR, vide its sanctioned scheme 2009 (SS’09) dated July 17, 2009 by writing back 70% of the unsecured creditors pertaining prior to the cut off date March 31, 2009, amounting to ` 46,701.64 (in thousands). The said amount has been transferred to the Profit and Loss Account.

14. Suppliers and customers balances are subject to confirmation.

15. Manufacturing plants of Ankleshwar and Atul units were not operational with effect from February 2004, except Sulfuric Acid | Oleum plant at Ankleshwar, for which your Company had undertaken job work activity. The capacity of the plant was enhanced from 100 tons per day (tpd) to 120 tpd. The Company undertook job work activity from July 2009 till August 2009. Now, your Company has started manufacturing and sales activities for Sulfuric Acid | Oleum plant effective from September, 2009.

16. In view of introduction of Accounting Standard 28 on Impairment of Assets (AS 28) by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the Company had reviewed the recoverable value of all its assets at its Bulk Chemical and Dye Intermediate divisions as on April 01, 2004 and March 31, 2005. Due to non remunerative prices for the products of its two divisions and the increasing costs of operations the viability of the businesses was affected and accordingly the Company had recognized an impairment loss for the assets of the two divisions in the year 2004-05.

recognized. Provision for payments to the Employees Gratuity Fund after taking into account the funds available with the Trustees of the Gratuity Fund is based on actuarial valuation done at the close of each financial year. At the reporting date liabilities of the Company towards gratuity is determined by independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method which considers each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit entitlement and measures each unit separately to build up final obligation. Past services are recognised on a straight line basis over the average period until the amended benefits become vested.

Other defined benefits:

Provision for other defined benefits for long term leave encashment is made based on an independent actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method at the end of each financial year.

framework set out in Auditing and Assurance Standard 25 on Comparatives. Accordingly, amounts and other disclosures for the preceding year are included as an integral part of the current year’s financial statements, and are to be read in relation to the amounts and other disclosures relating to the current year. Figures of the previous year are regrouped and reclassified wherever necessary to correspond the figures of the current financial year.

(xvi) Earnings Per Share

The Company reports basic and diluted Earnings Per Share in accordance with Accounting Standard 20 on ‘Earnings Per Share’. Basic earning per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the period by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. Diluted Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss for the period by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period as adjusted for the effects of all diluted potential equity shares except where the results are anti-dilutive.

(xvii) Research and Development Expenditure :

Research and Development expenditure is charged to revenue under the natural heads of account in the year in which it is incurred. However, Research and Development expenditure on fixed assets is treated in the same way as expenditure on other fixed assets.

(xviii) Provisions, ContingentLiabilities and Contingent Assets

The Company recognises provisions only when it has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

No provision is recognised for –

a) Any possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company; or

b) Any present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or a reliable estimate of the amount of obligation cannot be made.

Such obligations are recorded as contingent liabilities. These are assessed continually and only that part of the obligation for which an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is probable, is provided for, except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made.

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized.

15. Previous Year’s figures have been regrouped and recasted wherever necessary.
