On the other hand, sugar consumption is seen rising 1.5% per year in 2015 and 2016.

During the year 2015-16, in Thailand and India, sugarcane production was hit by dry weather, which is associated with the El Nino effect. Thai sugar production may reach to an aggregate 10.0 mmt in 2015-16 season, which is 11.5 per cent lower than record 11.3 mmt of sugar produced in the 2014-15 season. Indian production is also being seen lower by 3.2 mmt to 25.1 mmt playing a pivotal role in influencing the global market. Adverse weather conditions triggered production downgrades for China with total output now expected at 9.4 mmt.

Sugar prices in New York have rebounded by nearly 43% since reaching a seven-year low in August 2015, after El Nino cut the sucrose contents in sugar cane grown in Brazil as well as yields in Thailand and India.

Domestic Sugar Industry Scenario

India, the world''s biggest consumer of sugar, is likely to produce 25.1mmt of the sweetener in the 2015-16 sugar year ending on September 30, down 11.3% from a year ago. A few sugar mills were continuing their crushing operations, while most of the sugar mills have closed the operations in April 2016. The Country''s sugar production data is given hereunder:

Considering the number of sugar mills, which are in operation as on April 30, 2016, and cane availability in these states, sugar production in the current season is expected to be just above 25.1 mmt by the end of September 2016. However, with the carry forward of 9.1 mmt from previous season and estimated domestic consumption of 25.6 mmt and exports of 1.5 mmt, sugar mills would have a carry-over stock of 7.1 mmt at the end of the current season. Hence, the Indian sugar industry has been turning around with effect from the second half of FY 2015-16 with increase in sugar prices and lower cost of production due to higher sugar recovery in U.P., where the sugar mills have produced 6.8 mmt till April 30, 2016 as compared to 7.0 mmt last year.

Maharashtra/Karnataka (high yield states) received below normal rains in 2015 with consequent yield losses in sugar production. Maharashtra mills produced 8.4 mmt of sugar till April 30, 2016 as compared to 10.4 mmt last year and Karnataka mills produced 4.0 mmt compared to 4.8 mmt last year.

Government of India notified MIEQ (Minimum Indicative Export Quota) of 3.2 mmt to be exported during 2015-16 sugar season. Against this, 1.44 mmt of sugar have been exported till April, 2016. Since, sugar prices in the domestic market have improved and exports from India at the current global prices are not viable, it is expected that total export for the current season will be 1.5 mmt.

Price Trend

A mix of factors, such as better recoveries, government''s mandatory export quota, successful ethanol blending programme and lower production forecast for the next season have led to better business prospects for the sugar industry and improvement in domestic prices starting from January, 2016.

The drier than normal weather conditions seen so far in 2016, although positive for the progress of the harvest, is exacerbating water shortages (particularly in central/ western regions) with potential negative impact on new crop planting. The projected fall in output by 8-10% in next season will reduce the sugar stock, which may result in the improvement and a constant demand for consumption, of sugar prices in subsequent year.

Sugarcane

The fair and remunerative price (FRP) of sugarcane for sugar season 2015-16 is fixed at Rs.230 per quintal, linked to basic recovery at the rate of 9.5%, subject to premium of Rs.2.42 per qtl. for every 0.1 percentage point increase in recovery above that level.

Major producers such as Uttar Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Haryana, Punjab and Uttarakhand continued with their sugarcane pricing policies as per the past practices of announcing State Advised Prices (SAPs), whereas states like Maharashtra and Karnataka are considering rationalization of their sugarcane pricing by linking it to the sugar prices.

As compared to the cane price arrears of 2015-16 sugar season of over Rs.21,800 crore as on April 2015 last year, cane price arrears during the current season are lower at about Rs. 13,300 crore. With the improvement in domestic market, it is expected that cane price payments to the farmers will improve and arrears will come down substantially further in the next few months.

As per the agriculture ministry''s second advance estimates, sugarcane production is estimated to decline to 346.39 mmt in 2015-16 crop year (July-June), which is lower by 15.95 million tonnes than its production during 2014-15. This is primarily due to deficient monsoon rainfall during Kharif crops and Rabi crops due to shortage of water in reservoirs and relatively warmer winter.

Domestic Ethanol Industry

Government decided to boost ethanol production by making 10% mandatory blending with petrol from October 2015. To boost the supply, Government replaced procurement of ethanol based on a benchmark price decided by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) by a new mechanism of uniform price of ethanol declared for each sugar year. The delivered price of ethanol has been fixed in the range of Rs.48.50 to Rs.49.50 per litre, depending upon the distance of sugar mill from the depot/installation of the OMCs. The government has removed the excise duty on ethanol supplied for blending for 2015-16 onward. This would increase in net realization by around Rs.5/litre of ethanol.

The total quantity of ethanol procured by the OMCs for the sugar season 2014-15 (December 2014 to November 2015) is approx. 67 crore litres. This is against the contracted quantity of 80 crore litres, which works to 82.5% and the country achieved 2.5% ethanol blending with petrol.

During the current season 2015-16 (till November 2016), OMCs have finalized total ethanol quantity of 135 crore litres against the total requirement of 265 crore litres to meet the 10% blending. It means that the country will be able to achieve 5% blending for the first time in the history of ethanol blending with petrol programme.

Government Policies

Policy related decisions taken during the year under review are:

April 2015: In order to improve the price sentiments relating to sugar, the Government decided to take the following steps:

(i) The duty on import of sugar under the Open General License (OGL) is increased from 25 to 40%.

(ii) The Duty Free Import Authorization Scheme (DFIA), for sugar is withdrawn to prevent flow of sugar made from such duty free imports in the domestic markets.

(iii) The period for discharging export obligations under the Advanced Authorization Scheme for sugar is reduced to six months.

(iv) Removal of excise duty on ethanol supplied for blending, which was exempted and the price benefit is passed on to the sugar mills/distilleries.

June 2015: Provisions for the assistance from banks as soft loans to the extent of Rs.6000 crore to the sugar industry with a one year moratorium towards clearance of arrears of cane dues, to those units, which have cleared at least 50 percent of their outstanding arrears before June 30, 2015.

September 2015: Notification for factory-wise allocation of 40 lac tons of sugar for exports during 2015-16 sugar season.

December 2015: Production subsidy at the rate of Rs.4.50 per quintal of cane crushed to offset cane cost, which shall be paid directly to the farmers on behalf of the mills and be adjusted against the cane price payable to them towards FRP including arrears relating to previous years. This incentive will be available to those mills, which have exported at least 80% of the targets notified under the MIEQ and in case of mills having distillation capacities to produce ethanol have achieved 80% of the targets notified by the Department under the Ethanol Blending Proramme (EBP).

April 2016: States are allowed to impose and enforce stock limits to check the price rise in sugar to regulate supply, distribution, storage and trade of sugar, which may bring down sugar prices to reasonable levels.

Business Restructuring and Scheme of Amalgamation

The Scheme of Amalgamation between erstwhile Simbhaoli Sugars Limited (''Amalgamating Company'' or ''ESSL'') and Simbhaoli Spirits Limited (''Amalgamated Company'' or ''the Company'' or ''SSL'') and their respective shareholders and creditors under Section 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 (''the Scheme'') was sanctioned by Hon''ble High Court of Judicature at Allahabad pursuant to its order dated October 15, 2015 (''Order''). The Order was filed with the Registrar of Companies, Uttar Pradesh Kanpur, and then the Scheme became effective on November 13, 2015 with effect from the appointed date, being April 1, 2015 and consequent thereto, the entire business undertakings of ESSL, stand transferred to and vested in the SSL, as going concern. In this regard, November 26, 2015 was fixed as the Record date to determine the shareholders, who would be entitled to the shares of the Amalgamated Company and accordingly, 3,74,79,020 equity shares were issued and allotted in pursuance to the Scheme.

Change of Name

Pursuant to the Scheme, the name of the Company stands changed to "Simbhaoli Sugars Limited" from "Simbhaoli Spirits Limited" with effect from November 13, 2015.

Sugarcane price arrears

Over the last few years, the Company and erstwhile SSL have been incurring cash losses affecting their liquidity. The Uttar Pradesh based sugar companies have been facing financial difficulties on account of high sugar cane prices, lower realization of sugar and high finance cost. However, with various initiatives by the management, including business and financial restructuring of the business and steps being taken by the State and Central Governments to strengthen the sugar industry, the Company would turnaround this situation in the near future and the business operations of the Company are sustainable and viable.

Impact of the industry scenario on the business

In the situation of constrained working capital, the Company has completed 8386 tonnes white sugar export out of total 20,000 tonnes export obligation required against the import of raw sugar made by the Company during previous years. The Company has applied for extension of time to complete its obligation.

The sugar industry in the state of Uttar Pradesh had been passing through a very difficult phase and had incurred heavy cash losses consistently for the last four years on account of fixing of high State Advised Price (SAP) for sugarcane without giving due consideration to the cost of production/ price of sugar/ paying capacity of the sugar mills. On the other hand, the sugar prices did not increase in the same proportion resulting in negative margins as much that sugar prices were not sufficient enough for cane payment alone. The coercive actions by the local administration often affect the operations, dispatches of sugar and inconsistency in cash flows.

However, the Company''s current sugar operations have improved over the previous seasons and are expected to improve further in the next season on account of the development initiatives taken. Further, sugar industry has started moving in the positive directions and alcohol business is also growing positively. The ethanol industry is also expecting to take advantage of the world ethanol demand with the increase in production and supply to outside India. The domestic sugar industry has started showing signs of improvement with the implementation of various measures taken by the Central and State governments having a direct impact on the business of the Company, which includes:

a. Mandatory blending of ethanol with petrol to be doubled from 5 to 10%. Current year prices are ''48.50 per litre.

b. Increase in import duty to 40% to discourage import of sugar.

c. Export duty of 20% on export of white sugar owing to limited supply in the country.

In addition, the Company has improved its operational efficiencies with the increase in the recovery vis-a-vis last 2 sugar seasons. It has emerged as one of the largest sellers of Specialty Sugars, which includes sachets, consumer packets, pharma sugar etc under its flagship brand TRUST, which commands substantial premium over and above the bulk sugar prices. Further, in current situation, the Company has rationalized its administrative, processing and procurement costs.

Outstanding dues of the financial institutions

The Company has proposed a Debt Realignment Scheme under the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) mechanism of the Reserve Bank of India (CDR Scheme) with the lenders of the Company in consortium under which it has been able to restructure the outstanding liabilities comprising of conversion of loans to term loans including restructuring of the farmer financing and infusion of funds through fresh term loan. The Empowered Group, has approved the said Scheme. The management is confident that implementation of the Scheme with the lenders will be completed within stipulated time. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for all its debts obligations, including classification of current and non-current liabilities giving effect to the approved Scheme in these financial statements. The auditors have drawn attention to this in their audit report on the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016, without modifying their opinion.

Further, the CDR package, inter alia mandates for infusion of long term funds by the Promoters. Accordingly, the promoters have commenced the process for infusion of funds in the Company and have approached the Company to initiate the procedure for issuance and allotment of securities in compliance with the applicable laws.

Distillery Operations

The Hon''ble National Green Tribunal, New Delhi (NGT), upheld a complaint against the Simbhaoli Distillery alleging non-fulfillment of certain conditions on pollution and effluent discharge. Accordingly, the operations of the Simbhaoli distillery plant were closed since February 20, 2014. The Company has taken the mitigation steps in this regard and after obtaining the consent from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB), the distillery resumed its operations after 20 months of shut down.

Branding

The Company has been consistent in developing its sugar brand, ''Trust''. The sales and marketing infrastructure development exercises for distribution through modern retail and wholesale trade channels have been further strengthened during the year. The market area of ''Sipp'' fruit drink mix has been further expanded. Trust branded sugar sachets have created vast acceptability and leadership in the hospitality industry. Appropriate brand communication investment was carried out to spread brand awareness, and consumer trials. Due to the intervention of the State administration in selling and dispatch of the sugar and liquidity constraints, there has been a mismatch in the supply commitments to the specialty sugar customers, which has affected the expected growth of the specialty sugar business.

In addition, the potable spirits products of the Company includes the following range: Board''s Verdict Premium Whisky, Hunters Matured Rare XX Rum, Xing Vodka, Seven Knights Whisky, XXX Rum. However, during the year, the distillery operations were remain suspended due to the order passed by Hon''ble NGT and the Management has decided to discontinue the production and marketing of these products for the time being.

International Trading

During the year, the international trade was limited due to weak international prices vis-a-vis domestic market. However, the Company has continued trade with selected markets like Nepal, Canada, Hong Kong, Dubai and US. Trust branded sugar has been receiving favorable response from the destinations like Canada and Pacific Islands. L-Grade sugar has established unique place in Canadian market and its volume is growing every year. During the year, the Company has exported 5500 MT sugar under Open General License Scheme. The Company is also exporting Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) to various African destinations to generate additional income.

Human resources

The Company follow the fundamental principles of human and workplace rights in all its businesses, which has led to managing a committed and motivated work force. A number of employees'' participation and welfare programs have been carried out during the year. Keeping the philosophy of continuous training and job improvements, the Company has imparted 615 man days of training apart from the regular on the job trainings to its employees. The relation between the management and employees continued to remain cordial at all the locations. The manpower has also been rationalized with the transfer of employees to diversified businesses. The Company has always been vigil against the sexual harassment and a system is in place under which, the employees can make their complaint in this regards. No such complaint has been received during the year.
