Assets are available when Zinc LME at historical low Reasonably professional management with fair commercial orientation Conservative accounting practices maintained • Unforeseen liability unlikely – write-backs possible Huge other properties in terms of offices, residential premises/housing colonies The staff members have not exhibited any overt signs of hostility towards the process of privatisation Investment Perspective • Concern Areas Zinc industry highly dependent on steel industry Demand forecast for Zn not encouraging Scattered locations of mines and smelters Analysis of cost structures reveals that only RA mine is viable at current LME levels Profitability of the company sensitive to changes in import duty structure (reduction) or fall in world prices Quality of rock at the RD mine The availability of water in Rajasthan dependent on annual rainfall. Investment Perspective • Concern Areas Power costs are high Salaries and wages is a large component of the total costs Sargipalli and Maton mines are being closed. The nonVRS costs of the closure, if any, would need to be examined in detail. Agnigundala mine and Tundoo smelter are also in the process of being closed. The closure costs of these have to be examined. Company produces significant amount of PW grade zinc which has low demand and lower margins Company’s equity base is very high Assumptions Underlying Future Projections and Valuation Assumptions • Production – Based on capacity • Pricing LME-based, landed cost Insurance & Freight etc is assumed at USD 30/t Import Duty Structure as below Rate (%) 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08 35 25 25 20 20 20 20 Clearance and domestic costs have been assumed at Rs. 1500/t CVD and SADD assumed at flat 16% and 4% respectively in the calculation of effective duty INR to depreciate at 5% p.a. against the USD Assumptions • Costs – Projections based on historical reference.
