Financial Results for the Year Ended 30 June 2013
Nandan Cleantec plc (LSE AIM: NAND), a scaled vertically
integrated bio fuel producer, announces audited results for the
year ended 30 June 2013.
Financial Key Points
-- Total revenue of INR1,298 million (equivalent to GBP12 million at current exchange rates*)
-- Loss before interest, depreciation and amortization of INR136
million (equivalent to GBP1.33 million at current exchange
rates*)
-- Strong balance sheet with net current assets of INR580
million (equivalent to GBP5.68. million at current exchange
rates*)
-- Cash balance of INR19 million (equivalent to GBP0.18 million at current exchange rates*)
-- Net assets of INR1,918 million (equivalent to GBP18.8 million at current exchange rates*)
-- * INR 102: GBP1
Operational Key Points
-- Secured a significant supply agreement with HK Petroleum
Limited to produce 12,500 metric tonnes of Biodiesel collectively
per month.
-- Re-aligned the plantation business model to focus more on
institutional customers to safeguard the Company's technologies
from infringement. As a part of this shift, Nandan signed contracts
with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited ("HPCL") and the
Rajasthan State Government.
-- Secured a contract with the Rajasthan State Government for
supply of up to 4 million Jatropha plantlets to their Nodal
agencies over the coming 12 months. These sales have commenced
post-period end.
-- Industry collaboration: Partnering with India's second
largest oil marketing company, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation
Limited, for a Jatropha plantation in the state of Chhattisgarh.
The initial planting was successfully completed post-period end
during the 2013 monsoon period which took place between July and
October. The success of the project will enable the Company to
secure additional acreage orders in the next monsoon period.
-- The Company established a marketing alliance with a focused
Nutraceutical trader, which the Board is confident will bring
long-term value to Nandan.
-- Innovation and IP development: At Nandan, R&D is a
fundamental activity which helps to align the Company's activities
with the current requirement of the industry. In line with these
market and regulatory developments Nandan's research road map has
begun to develop new tree borne oil species to expand its portfolio
of renewable energies. These plants are more suited to various
climatic conditions and can be used for the production of renewable
energies. Nandan intends to apply for patents in this area over the
coming years.
Commenting on the results Srinivas Prasad Moturi, Chairman and
Managing Director of Nandan Cleantec plc said:
"This year was a difficult and challenging year. We made steady
progress in our stated business objectives which included agreeing
a long-term toll agreement with HK Petroleum Limited for the
processing and supply of Biodiesel. With assured feedstock
supplies, we envisage robust business growth in this area.
"During the year, the ongoing disagreement with the Indian
government has affected the Group's operations, resulting in these
operational losses. The Group is well on its way to resolving these
issues with the government and it confident that it has a solid
case. The Group is now looking forward to sustainable revenue
generation.
"We have made a strategic move to transition our plantation
business to a controlled institutional client base, which we
believe will help the Group to protect the market leading position
of its high yielding varieties. We continue to innovate and develop
hybrids of other tree borne oil species aside from maintaining our
position as a pioneer in Jatropha. By executing our strategy,
supported by the commencement of recent contract wins, we remain
confident that the Group is poised to deliver shareholder's
expectations in the year ahead."

Chairman's Statement
Introduction
I am pleased to announce Nandan's financial results for the year
ended 30th June 2013.
In 2013, the Company made the strategic decision to acquire
various operational assets to enhance its installed capacity. The
toll agreement signed with HK Petroleum Limited will have a
materially positive effect on Nandan's operations as it will
utilize a significant amount of capacity at the Company's existing
facility at Vizag. The domestic sale of Jatropha plantlets
witnessed a reduction as the Company realigned its plantation
business model, focusing on Institutional sales and away from wide
spread individual farmers. The Company's Nutraceuticals division
made steady progress and the Board is confident of organic growth
in this division during the next fiscal year.
Nandan's strategy is to:
-- Maximise, over the long-term, the potential of its position
as a pioneer and market leader in Jatropha bio fuel sciences.
-- Expand into new markets outside of India; ensuring
development and continuous yield improvements of the Company's
Jatropha hybrids.
-- Increase Jatropha cultivation more widely.
Operational Review
Catchment area development with Jatropha and Pongamia.
In the 2013 financial year, the Company sold and supplied 70 mn
Jatropha Plantlets to various farmers, self help groups, traders
and institutions which is equal to plantation land bank of 28,000
ha. As part of the Indian Bio fuel program, during the year the
Company diversified its plantation product portfolio and commenced
supplying Pongamia plantlets as well as Jatropha and Safed Musli
plantlets. The Company has initiated limited planting of Pongamia
in the state of Karnataka.
During the year the Company produced about 2,800 MT of Crude
Jatropha Oil and supplied the material to various customers. This
year, with the early monsoon, post period end, the Company
witnessed brisk activity in plantlet sales of both Jatropha and
Pongamia to its customers. Rainfall was higher than normal in many
parts of India and planting activities were successful.
Despite these developments, the Directors were not satisfied
with the performance of the Jatropha business during the year. We
have taken decisive action by removing and replacing the senior
management team and we have conducted a comprehensive strategic
review of this business.
As part of the strategic review process, the Company reviewed
its accounts receivable position and took the decision to write off
INR552.5 million (equivalent to GBP5.41 million at current exchange
rates*) as they were deemed to be non-recoverable. The Company will
continue to do everything in its power to recover these monies.
These debts arose as a result of the Jatropha business model and
the then senior management not implementing sufficiently tight
financial controls over debt collection. Historically, Nandan
encouraged wide spread individual farmers to cultivate the Jatropha
crops and the Company was liberal with its credit policies. Due to
the gestation period of the crop being longer than a normal crop,
the working capital cycle was stretched significantly beyond that
experienced with normal crops. This effect was further accentuated
by both the high inflationary pressures experienced across all
commodities and erratic monsoon seasons in the last two years and
this has resulted in farmers being affected very badly.
Consequently, the Company has suffered abnormally high default
rates from farmers who had received business advances for the
procurement of material.
The Company has again reacted decisively to the change in the
dynamics of its revenue model and has shifted its revenues to
institutional sales as these sales are more secure and robust.
During the financial year, the Company transitioned its business
from being a niche player, operating in an environment of promoting
the plantation with farmers spread across the country, to an
institutional model with strong controls of the feed stock,
contractually bound customers and protected IP rights. In line with
this shift towards institutional sales and corporate farming,
Nandan entered into a contract with HPCL for the supply of one-year
old Jatropha plantlets through a Jatropha Care Centre designed
specifically for large institutions such as HPCL, wherein Nandan
will nurture the growth of the plantlet at its resource centres and
organize supplies to the main fields. During the period, the
Company also entered into a contractual agreement with the
Rajasthan State Government for the supply of high yielding
varieties of Nandan's plantlets to the Nodal state agencies. The
Company has also moved to ensure proper financial controls are in
place over future debt
collection.
The Company is currently executing the contract signed with
HPCL, with about 80% of the targeted dispatch delivered to date.
The Board believes that the innovative Jatropha Care Centre ("JCC")
concept, adopted in collaboration with HPCL, is likely to be
attractive going forward, and the Company is in discussions with
another oil marketing company as this model can be replicated
across other corporate, markets and countries.
In 2012, Nandan initiated its expansion in East Africa,
initially in Botswana. Botswana and Rajasthan are similar in nature
as its conditions in terms of climate rainfalls have similar
patterns. The Company's model in Rajasthan, with respect to the
Jatropha plantation, was a success and the same can be replicated
in Botswana. The promotion team in Rajasthan initiated an intensive
farmer contact programme by organizing "Field Days" to create grass
root level awareness on the use of improved genetics. In Rwanda the
company has established a 100 ha plantlets nursery and the
transplantation of these plantlets to the land will be carried out
in the forthcoming monsoon period, anticipated to be between July
and October 2014.
In Botswana, the specialist team sent by our joint venture
partner, Savills, visited our facilities in India and made a
comprehensive study of farming practices in Rajasthan. Further
activities will continue under this agreement in the coming monsoon
period.
The Pongamia programme which the Company initiated in 2013 with
one district of Karnataka was spread to two additional districts
this year and is likely to expand to all six districts of North
Karnataka during the next financial year.
Refining Facility
During the financial year the operations at the Company's
processing facility have again been disrupted due to the ongoing
dispute with the SEZ authorities. However, post period end, the
Company has recommenced operations from its Vizag facility and
started processing the material available at the premises after
obtaining the necessary permissions from the SEZ authorities.
During the financial year the Company signed a significant supply
agreement with HK Petroleum Limited to produce 12,500 metric tonnes
of Methyl Esters and/or Biodiesel collectively per month. This
contract is expected to utilize more than 50% of the installed
capacity of the process facility. The Board is also pleased to
announce that the processing facility has obtained Environmental
Protection Agency certification. Certification with the EPA will
benefit US importers as the Biodiesel produced at the Indian
facility will be eligible for "Renewable Identification Number"
(RINS) generation and other tax incentives as per US laws.
It was anticipated that the sales of Biodiesel would recommence
in April 2013, however this was delayed as EPA certification for
the facility has taken longer than expected due to administrative
delays. Post-period end, Nandan is in a position to commence
production from its facility in India to service orders from its US
client. The Group is expecting to receive the contracted material
from HK Petroleum shortly.
Nutraceuticals
To widen Nandan's market presence in India, the Company's
Nutraceutical division signed a contract with a distributing
company with the aim of creating awareness and generating
business.
As a part of new product development, the Nutraceutical division
conducted clinical trials for anti stress and anti obesity
products. The Company has successfully developed various new
innovations and is in the process of taking these to market.
Product registrations across 14 countries including a number in
Africa are underway and these are expected to complete during
2014.
Strategic Investments and Alliances
As outlined in the financial results published in December 2012,
Nandan Cleantec Plc has increased its holdings during the period in
Nandan Cleantec Limited from 51% to 88.53% and in Nandan Cleantec
Industries Limited (formerly known as Xtraa Cleancities Limited
(NCIL)) from 51% to 95.47%. The Company will continue to work
towards acquiring the remaining minorities of NCL and NCIL.
Financial Performance
The Board considers the key performance indicators of the
Company to be as follows:
-- Total revenue of INR1,298 million (equivalent to GBP12 million at current exchange rates*)
-- Loss before interest, depreciation and amortization of INR136
million (equivalent to GBP1.33 million at current exchange
rates*)
-- Strong balance sheet with net current assets of INR580
million (equivalent to GBP5.68. million at current exchange
rates*)
-- Cash balance of INR19 million (equivalent to GBP0.18 million at current exchange rates*)
-- Net assets of INR1,918 million (equivalent to GBP18.8 million at current exchange rates*)
-- * INR 102: GBP1
Potential Liability
Further to the information provided in the previous year's
annual report regarding the ongoing disagreement with the SEZ
authorities, the Company has made considerable progress in
resolving these issues. The Appellate committee of the Ministry of
Commerce convened a meeting on 2nd April 2013 to hear the case upon
the directions of the Supreme Court of India. The Appellate
committee passed an order on 22nd April 2013 reducing the penalty
amount from INR 663 Million (equivalent to GBP6.5 million at
current exchange rates*)to INR 226 Million (equivalent to GBP2.2
million at current exchange rates*) on the company and waived the
penalties levied on Mr. M. Srinivas Prasad for INR 33 Million and
another Director for INR 5 Million in their personal capacities.
However, despite reducing the penalty on the company to INR 226
million, Nandan continues to contest and has again appealed the
whole penalty to the High Court of Delhi. The legal counsel and
management are confident that the issue will be fully resolved
shortly given the merits of its case. Post period end, the Company
has re commenced its operations from its Vizag facility and started
processing the material available at the premises after obtaining
the necessary permissions from the SEZ authorities. The Group is
expected to receive the contracted material from HK Petroleum
shortly.
As a result of this prolonged legal battle with the SEZ
authorities in the period under review, the Group has incurred a
Loss after tax for the year of INR258 million (equivalent to
GBP2.52 million at current exchange rates*).
Cash flow
As at 30 June 2013 the Company had net cash balances of INR19
million (equivalent to GBP0.18 million at current exchange
rates*).
Auditors qualification of financial statements
The auditors have qualified the accounts on the basis of
uncertainty surrounding the going concern basis. The Directors
believe that, on the date of this report, the Group has sufficient
financial resources to meet its committed financial liabilities.
However, the Group requires additional debt finance to be able to
resume operations on a normal trading and production level. The
Directors are in negotiations with various parties to secure such
funding. The Directors are confident that they will secure the
requisite funds for future operations to resume the normal
activities. Consequently, the financial statements are prepared on
a going concern basis, which has been assessed on cash flow
forecasts extending out 12 months from the date of the financial
report.
Prospects and Outlook
The Company remains focused on its objective of enhancing value
for shareholders. With refining activity restored at Vizag and good
capacity utilization made possible from the existing contract, the
Company is confident of creating a stable earnings platform that
fuels further business growth. The EPA certification is a further
asset that should allow the Company to increase biodiesel sales
into the US. Moving forward the group is focusing its energies on
the US market for additional contracts.
With a clear bio fuel mandate in place and deregulation of
diesel prices expected, the Ministry for New and Renewable Energy
("MNRE") is likely to implement a significant bio fuel programme in
India. Nandan is well placed to benefit from the first mover
advantage, with great strides of research already showcased and
vast plantation activity already undertaken. The Board is confident
of meeting the Company's plantation targets.
The Nutraceutical business is poised for organic growth this
year. Two more new products have successfully passed through the
clinical trials and are planned for launch during this financial
year.
The Company's mission is to retain its pioneering and market
leading position it enjoys in the Indian biofuel space and to
develop a strong product portfolio in the Nutraceuticals
division.
Employees
I would like to thank all of our employees, management and
fellow directors for their hard work, encouragement and dedication
throughout this year.

24. Business Combination:
Acquisition of business during the year ended 30(th) June'
2013:
In line with the strategy to acquire the whole of the share
capital of both operating companies of the group located in India,
Nandan Cleantec Plc has acquired 51% of the Nandan Cleantec Limited
and Nandan Cleantec Industries Limited ( Formerly known as Xtraa
Cleancities Limited) through its wholly Owned Subsidiary Nandan Bio
Energy Pte. Ltd in the previous year ended on 30th June 2012. To
progress this objective Nandan Cleantec Plc has increased its
holdings during the period in Nandan Cleantec Limited from 51% to
88.53% through its subsidiary Nandan Renewable Energies Limited on
31st December 2012. Similarly Nandan Cleantec Plc has increased its
holdings during the period in Nandan Cleantec Industries Limited
(formerly known as Xtraa Cleancities Limited (NCIL)) from 51% to
95.47% through its subsidiaries Nandan Renewable Energies Limited.
The company has acquired the additional shareholdings in both the
operating companies from the existing shareholders of those
companies at a consideration which has resulted in the gain from
the purchase of additional stake in the business which has been
routed through the statement of the comprehensive Income. The
Goodwill which was recorded by the group on acquiring Nandan
Cleantec Industries Limited during the previous year has been
offset by the additional assets value acquired as part of the
Bargain Gain generated by acquiring the extra stake in that company
this year.

25. Operating segments
The Group has adopted the "management approach" in identifying
the operating segments as outlined in IFRS 8. IFRS 8 establishes
standards for the way that public business enterprises report
information about operating segments and related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The
Group operations predominantly relate to sale of Biodiesel,
Jatropha plantlets and Nutraceutical products.
The chief operating decision maker evaluates the Group
performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various
performance indicators at operational unit level. Accordingly the
Group is organized into business units based on the nature of
operations and has three reportable segments as follows:
-- Sale of Biodiesel
-- Sale of Jatropha Products
-- Sale of Nutraceutical products.
Management monitors the gross profit of its business units
separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource
allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is
evaluated based on revenues and gross profit earned which in
certain respects, as explained in the table below, is measured
differently from operating statement of comprehensive income in the
consolidated financial statements. The segment asset comprises
predominantly of land which can interchanged between the business
units. Group financing (including finance costs and finance income)
and income taxes are managed on a individual company basis and are
not allocated to operating segments.

The revenues from external customers for each product and
service, and on a geographical basis is not available, and the cost
to develop it would be excessive.
26. Going Concern
As a result of prolonged legal battle with the SEZ authorities ,
in the period under review, the Group has incurred operational Loss
after tax for the year of INR 258 million (equivalent to GBP 2.52
million at current exchange rates). The Group has net current
assets of INR 580 million(current assets less current liabilities)
and the Company also has positive net assets of INR1918 Mil. It's
important to note that the Group has sufficient accumulated Net
Reserves to absorb the one off exceptional losses which were
incurred during the reporting period. Even after absorbing the
current losses the Company has positive net assets of INR 1918 Mil
and INR. 206 Mil attributable to Minorities to cover this.
The group is of the firm belief that the company has not
incurred operational losses on account of business reasons , it has
incurred losses due to external factors , especially the litigation
with the SEZ authorities which is not under the control of the
group. This set back is to be viewed as a purely temporary
phenomena considering the fact that the Appellate Tribunal,
Ministry of Commerce has reduced the penalty from INR 663 Million
to INR 223 Million and the company has filed the writ petition to
waive off the penalty of INR 223 Million based on the merits of the
case and also the fact that the group has recommenced the
operations from the facility. The operations have commenced post
reporting period and the company is now rebooted and refreshed and
ready to execute the commercial order from HK Petroleum in the
first Half of the Financial Year 2013-14
The Directors believe that, on the date of this report Group has
sufficient financial resources to meet the committed financial
liabilities.
However, the Group requires additional debt finance to be able
to resume operations on a normal trading and production level. The
Directors are in negotiations with various parties to secure such
funding. At present, the Group's resources are not adequate and
unless this funding is obtained the Group cannot formally
demonstrate that it has the resources required over the next 12
months. In the opinion of the Directors, the company is able to
meet its obligations as and when they fall due but require further
working capital to resume its normal level of activity.
Accordingly, the Going Concern basis has been used for the
preparation of these financial statements but should that basis not
apply then assets may not be worth their current value and further
liabilities might arise. The extent of such adjustments cannot be
predicted.
