2) LOANS & BORROWINGS:
a. Secured Loans are subject to charge created / to be created on the
assets/properties of the Company.
b. In case of disputed /defaulted loans taken by the Company,
provision for interest due on the outstanding secured loans has been
made at the last contractual rate of interest. No provision is being
made for interest on unpaid interest as also for any penal interest and
other charges.
c. The Company is in the process of restructuring and renegotiating
its outstanding unsecured loans. Consequently provision for interest
due on the outstanding unsecured loans has been made on simple interest
basis at rate which is consistent with the trend at which other
unsecured loans are restructured and renegotiated, and not at the
original /last contracted rate of interest, further no provision for
interest is being made on the unpaid interest amount. On account
payments made by the Company to its lenders are frst apportioned
towards unpaid principal, instead of unpaid interest, without the
consent of the lenders, this practice would result in to reduction in
provision for probable interest liability.
d. In respect of all the loans, secured and unsecured, (which are not
re- negotiated) no provision has been made for compound interest and
penal interest. The same will be accounted for on fnal settlement of
the accounts with the lenders. To that extent Company has Contingent
Liability which is unascertainable.

lenders of which the company has failed to meet its commitment in
respect of Ranbaxy Laboratories
Ltd. The agreed liability as refected in the Books of Accounts of the
Company is Rs.60 lacs in respect of Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (Previous
Year Rs.60 lacs). The waiver of interest liability in terms of the
settlement with Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd amounting to Rs. 21.77 lacs
was credited to Work in Progress account during the earlier years. In
the opinion of the Company the revised liabilities as per the
settlement with these parties are still valid and subsisting as the
Company has not received any legal notice for termination of the
settlement from the concerned Lenders.
f. The balance in the secured loan account of State Bank of India as
per the Company’s books of accounts as on 31.03.2011 is Rs. 4,580 lacs
(including interest provision of Rs.1,857 lacs). This balance is based
on the settlement arrived at with the Bank vide its letter dated 14th
June 2006. As per the said settlement the entire dues were to be paid
off by 14th December, 2007 to which the Company has not adhered. The
Company is in continuous dialogue with the Bank to settle the dues. The
Company has not received any formal notice terminating the settlement.
The Company has also not received any balance confrmation from the
Bank. As per the legal advice received by the Company, the settlement
agreement dated 14th June 2006 is valid, subsisting and binding till
date. In view of the facts as mentioned herein it is not possible to
ascertain whether the Bank has withdrawn the concessions granted in the
settlement of June 2006. Accordingly the fnal liability towards this
Bank loan is not ascertainable. The Company has to that extent
unascertainable contingent liability towards any additional claim which
may be made by the Bank against this loan liability.
