included elsewhere in this Draft Prospectus. Our fiscal year commences on April 1 every year and
closes on March 31 of the next year. In this Draft Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between

Industry data used throughout this Draft Prospectus has been obtained from industry publications and
other authenticated published data. Industry publications generally state that the information
contained in those publications has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable but that their
accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Although the
Company believes that industry data used in this Draft Prospectus is reliable, it has not been
independently verified. Similarly, internal Company reports, while believed by us to be reliable, have
not been verified by any independent sources

For additional definitions, please refer to the section titled ‘Definitions and Abbreviations’ on

historical fact. These forward-looking statements and any other projections contained in this Draft
Prospectus (whether made by us or any third party) involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements or other projections.

All forward looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the company
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-
looking statement. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the

• Changes in laws and regulations that apply to our industry, including laws that impact our
ability to enforce our collateral.
• Changes in political conditions in India.

For further discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ, please refer the section
entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 of this Draft Prospectus. By their nature, certain market
risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the
future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been
estimated. Neither the Company, the Directors, any member of the Lead Manager team nor any of
their respective affiliates have any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting
circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if
the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition. In accordance with SEBI requirements, the
Company and the Lead Manager will ensure that investors in India are informed of material
developments until such time as the grant of listing and trading permission by the Stock Exchange.

been considered for determining the materiality:

3) Our business is substantially dependent on limited number of customers for a significant


portion of our revenues. The loss of any significant clients or an adverse change in the
customer relationship may have a material and adverse effect on our business and results
of operations.

The Company is largely dependent on single and few customers, as the top one and top ten
customers constitutes around 17.95% and 76.65% of the total income for the year 2014-15 on a
standalone and consolidated basis. While we are constantly working to increase our customer
base so as to enable us to reduce dependence limited number of customers, there is no
assurance that we will be able to broaden our customer base in a particular time frame in future.
Our business or results of operations could be adversely affected by a reduction in demand or
change in preference for our product or cessation of our relationship with any such major
customers.

4) The total revenue of the company is decreasing year on year since fiscal year 2013 and in
spite of all its efforts, the company is unable to change the trend.

10
The metal sector is facing severe economic slowdown due to multiple factors most of which are
not within the control of management and same is affecting the scale of operations and
performance of the company due to which the profitability of the company has becomes almost
stagnant during last 3 years. However, the manufacturing activity of the company is doing
relatively better and company expects that it will help in maintaining and improving the future
profitability in the future.

5) The Company has unsecured debt that is repayable on demand.

The Company has availed of certain unsecured loans that are repayable on demand. As on
September 30, 2015, the amount of outstanding unsecured loans availed by the company which
are repayable on demand is Rs. 487.50 Lacs. The unsecured loan taken by the Company is not
from any Bank or Financial Institution. In the event that the lenders of such loans demands the
repayment of these loans, the company would need to find alternative sources of financing, which
may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

6) Investment made in Subsidiary Company as well as in the Chemical business has not
worked out well as envisaged by the company.

Company invested almost Rs.3 crores in plant and machineries for the manufacturing unit of
chemical products which it had acquired on rent during 2014-15. However, the said venture could
not succeed and company had to shut down its operations in June 2015. In addition, the seller of
the unit has forcefully taken the possession of the property as well as our machineries and stock
(approximately worth Rs.9 lacs) lying in that premises. Mr. Jayeshkumar A Mehta, Director of the
Company lodged a Police complaint in the Khambhat Police Station against Mr. Ritesh Kumar
Patel along with few other person regarding the same. At present the matter is in dispute and
company is in process to solve the matter amicably. Though the company is trying to resolve the
issue through negotiations, if company is unable to get the possession of the said machineries
and stock, it will have to write off the entire amount which will affect the profitability and financial
position of the company to that extent which is substantial looking to the existing size of the
company.

In addition, Company invested Rs.5 lacs in acquiring subsidiary company Sagardeep Engineers
Private Limited (“SEPL”) from its existing promoters and thereafter Rs.511.20 lacs for subscribing
the share capital of this subsidiary company with no benefit accruing or expected to accrue to the
company. There is neither any sizeable business in the subsidiary company nor any potential
business prospect in the company which can commercially justify the amount of investment in
SEPL.

7) Our Subsidiary has incurred loss in financial year 2014-15.

Our Subsidiary has incurred loss of Rs. 0.03 Lacs in financial year 2014-15. Sustained financial
losses by our Subsidiary may not be perceived positively by external parties such as customers,
bankers, suppliers etc, which may affect our credibility and business operations. There can be no
assurance that our Subsidiary or any other ventures promoted by our Promoters, will not incur
losses in any future periods, or that there will not be an adverse effect on our reputation or
business as a result of such losses.

8) Other ventures promoted by our promoters are engaged in a similar line of business and
conflict of interest cannot be ruled out which may have adverse effect on our operations
and financial conditions.

Subsidiary Company, Sagardeep Engineering Pvt Ltd, and Proprietorship concern, Sagar Prakash
Alloys are involved in the similar activities which is also one of the activities carried on by the issuer
company.

This could lead to a potential conflict of interest for us and could adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition. There is no assurance that in case of conflict, our Promoters will
not favour our group Companies owing to their common interest in both the Companies. In
addition, attention to the other Group entities may distract or dilute management attention from our

11
business, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. For further
information, see the section entitled “Our Promoters and Promoter Group” on page 104 of this Draft
Prospectus.

9) Our management will have flexibility in applying the Proceeds of the Issue and the
deployment of the Proceeds is not subject to any monitoring by any independent agency.
The purposes for which the Proceeds of the Issue are to be utilized are based on
management estimates and have not been appraised by any banks or financial institutions.

We intend to use the Proceeds of the Issue for the purposes described in “Objects of the Issue”
on page 52. Our management may revise estimated costs, fund requirements and deployment
schedule owing to factors relating to our business and operations and external factors which may
not be within the control of our management.

The utilization of the Proceeds of the Issue and other financings will be monitored only by the
Audit Committee of the Board and is not subject to any monitoring by any independent agency.
Further, pending utilization of the Proceeds of the Issue, we intend to deposit the Net Proceeds
only in scheduled commercial banks included in the Second Schedule of the Reserve Bank of
India Act, 1934.

Our funding requirements and the deployment of the Proceeds of the Issue are based on
management estimates and have not been appraised by any banks or financial institutions. In
view of the highly competitive nature of the industry in which we operate, we may have to revise
our management estimates from time to time and, consequently, our funding requirements may
also change.

10) We have experienced negative cash flows in prior periods. Any operating losses or
negative cash flows in the future could adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition.

11) There have been instances of delay in compliances, filing of various forms, as well as non-
compliances under various provisions of applicable Companies Act for which penal action
can be taken against the company and its officers which would adversely affect financial
position of the Company to that extent.

12
Some of the instances of non compliances/delay in compliances of the provisions of the
companies act are as under for which penal action can be taken against the company and its
officers which would adversely affect financial position of the Company to that extent:

The Company has not complied with the provisions of Section 383A of the Companies Act, 1956
during the period March 22, 2012 to March 31, 2014 and the provisions of Section 203 of the
Companies Act, 2013 during the period April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 as the Company had not
appointed any Company Secretary during the said period. No show cause notice in respect of the
above has been received by the Company from the office of Registrar of the Companies till date.

The company had passed a special resolution under section 149 and other applicable provisions
of Companies Act, 1956 in its Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on March 6, 2014 relating to
commencement of chemical business i.e. an object mentioned in the “other Object” clause of the
Memorandum of Association of the Company. As per Section 117 of companies act, 2013, E-
form is required to be filed within the stipulated period of passing the resolution but the company
could not file E-form MGT-14 in prescribed time. Therefore, the Company filed an application to
Central Government under section 460 of Companies Act, 2013 for condonation of delay in filing
Form MGT-14 due to non filing of Special Resolution within stipulated time period. The said
application has been made by the Company to Central Government by way of e-form i.e. Form
NO. CG-1 on December 22, 2015 which is still pending. In addition, the company has also not
filed a declaration in prescribed form as required under section 149(2A) with the RoC.

Company has given loan to its wholly owned subsidiary Sagardeep Engineers Private Limited
which as on March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 stands at Rs.510.20 lacs and Rs.20.65 lacs
respectively. The said loans given to subsidiary were “interest free loan” which prima facie is in
non compliance of section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013.

shareholding records.

11 and 2011-12 appropriately with respect to shareholding records. Though our Company has
appropriately maintained our Register of Members, Transfer Deeds and issued share certificates
appropriately, inappropriate disclosures, as aforesaid, may in the future render us liable to
statutory penalties.

13) Our indebtedness and the conditions and restrictions imposed by our financing and other
agreements could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and operations.

We have incurred a substantial amount of indebtedness which could adversely affect our financial
condition. As on September 30, 2015, our short term and long term borrowings are Rs. 1900.14
Lacs on a standalone and consolidated basis. In addition, we may incur substantial additional
indebtedness in the future. Our indebtedness could have several significant consequences
including but not limited to the reduction of the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital,
capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements. Also fluctuations in market
interest rates may affect the cost of our borrowings.

Apart from that as per the terms of the sanction letter of the bank, the company can not do the
certain activities, during the Currency of the bank’s credit facilities, without the bank’s prior
permission in writing of the Banks, which amongst other, includes:
