Next Altitude
Over the last 6 years, VISA Steel has continuously strengthened its business presence in the iron and steel industry. The financial year 2010-11 marked the completion of our first round of capacity expansions to drive its next-altitude growth. We operationally strengthened ourselves and executed the expansions projects, despite a difficult environment. Whilst Coke and Ferro Chrome revenue stream shall remain, the pig iron and sponge iron shall be used in the production of value-added special steel, the benefits of which will be reflected in our financials from financial year 2011-12 onwards. The focus going forward shall be to start mining our own iron ore and coal so that we can move to higher operating margins. At VISA Steel, we are at the threshold of an interesting turning point. We have already laid the foundation and are now geared for the big leap ahead. This progression is natural as we have consolidated our capabilities to accelerate our momentum; to ensure uninterrupted growth through the formulation of flexible strategies.
Resource Integration
Having completed full integration on the manufacturing facilities, the focus is now to mine our own iron ore and coal to secure stable raw material supplies and lower costs.
We have a 54 million tonne share of a coal block in Patrapada at Talcher which is under development. We are also on the verge of getting iron ore mines in Orissa and Chhattisgarh. We have completed prospecting work for a Chrome Ore mine and are in the process of developing the same. We are further exploring opportunities to acquire coal mines in Australia and Indonesia. The consolidated affect of mining our own iron ore and coal shall lead to strengthening our operating margins from current levels of 15-20% to 30-35% in the near future.

Financial Statements
The Kalinganagar facility has an infrastructure capability of 1 million TPA Special Steel. With 0.5 million TPA now operational, we plan to scale it up to 1 million TPA over the next three to five years. This will provide us with economies of scale. We have the experience in execution, equipment sourcing & technology and the infrastructure to witness another wave of expansion which would be implemented in phases going forward.

Financial Statements
The construction work of the ferro chrome plant at Kalinganagar through VISA BAO is progressing with sustained momentum. The cumulative capacity would be ramped up from 50,000 TPA to eventually 200,000 TPA. Whilst 50,000 TPA is already in operation, additional 100,000 TPA is being implemented through VISA BAO, our joint venture with Baosteel, China. This would make VISA among the leading player in the Ferro Chrome industry.

75 MW to 375 MW Power
Energy is one of the key cost components in Steel and Ferro Alloy Operations. The low cost and uninterrupted availability of power is critical to facilitate operations, reduce external dependence and optimise costs. In short, we will enhance energy efficiency.
We have successfully completed the setting up additional 25 MW power plant at Kalinganagar, thus taking the current capacities to 75 MW. We are planning additional 2x150 MW capacities which will benefit us in two ways: 1. It will enable us monetise value of our Coal block at Patrapada in Talcher, Orissa. 2. It will help us meet our power shortfall for the current operations and enhanced requirement from our expanded capacities.

Human Capital
Sustained business progression must involve human innovativeness and ownership. We believe an organization is only as good or as efficient as the team that drives it. The implementation of ESOP Scheme shall further drive ownership among the employees.
At VISA Steel, we are focusing on building a strong and passionate team of individuals, and creating an enabling working environment to accelerate operations. We have introduced ESOP for our employees, not popular in a steel industry. VISA Steel is one of the early movers in this sphere and plans to unveil a host of HR measures to create an inspired workforce. The HR initiatives are expected to motivate team members, drive retention and attract new talent.

Chairmans Statement
VISA Steel shall continue to create value and deliver sustainable growth while achieving best standards of safety, corporate governance, corporate social responsibility and investor communication.
Dear Shareholders,
The global economy has continued to witness a sustained growth due to growth in emerging economies led by China and India and also due to the additional stimulus in US and bail out packages in Europe. However, this had resulted in inflationary pressures which have forced many Central Banks, especially in China and India to raise interest rates. Inspite of the volatile and challenging environment on raw material availability and pricing, the Company has delivered healthy growth in performance. We will build on our consistent and well executed strategy to grow in the value added steel products, while being focused on allocation of captive mines for raw materials and captive power generation. VISA Steel has since completed the Special Steel project. Consequently the revenues from LAM Coke and Ferro Chrome shall continue, but the Pig Iron and Sponge Iron shall get covered into value added Special Steel long products. This will be a key driver of revenues and margins going forward. VISA Steel shall continue to create value and deliver sustainable growth while achieving best standards of safety, corporate governance, corporate social responsibility and investor communication.
Annual Results
For the year ended 31 March 2011, the Company recorded a revenue growth of 14% to Rs. 13,329 million from Rs. 11,715 million in the previous year and the EBIDTA increased to Rs. 2,056 million from Rs. 1,976 million in the financial year 2009-10. The PAT also surged to Rs. 514 million from Rs. 474 million during financial year 2009-10. The growth in revenues has been driven by improved price realizations from Coke, Ferro Chrome, Pig Iron and Sponge Iron inspite of lower sales volumes for Pig Iron. The Company achieved satisfactory production volumes inspite of pressure on smooth availability of raw material.
The Industry
The Global Steel market is being driven by emerging economies with increasing importance of China and India. China now accounts for 630 million tones or 45% of the Global Steel production of 1.4 billion tones in 2010.
India is poised to be a dominant player in the Global Steel industry with a strong growth in its economy. Demand for steel products is being driven primarily by infrastructure and consumption led sectors including construction, automobile, white goods and oil & gas. India remains a large exporter of iron ore and importer of steel. During the year, a 20% export tax on iron ore has been imposed to discourage exports of this primary raw material and encourage value addition of this natural resource within the country. This has been an encouraging step and should enhance capacity addition for steel making within the Country to meet the supply constraints. However, Coking Coal still continues to be a challenge for the Steel industry in India. Due to the volatile global environment, there has been a shift in pricing mechanism of coking coal from annual to quarterly to monthly benchmark prices. There is a huge growth potential in Steel consumption in India given that per capita steel consumption is very low compared to China and the global average. The States of Orissa, Chhattisgarh & Jharkhand which account for majority of the iron ore and coal reserves are most attractive locations for setting up steel plants and we are focused on creating high quality assets in these locations.
Chrome Ore deposit has also been completed by Ghotaringa Minerals Limited. The Company plans to expand the special steel production in Orissa from 0.5 million to 1 million TPA and power generation from 75 MW to 375 MW over the next few years. The Company also plans to start works on its 2.5 million TPA Steel Plant in Chhattisgarh by setting up a 1 million TPA Steel Plant and 300 MW Captive Power Plant in the first phase. VISA Steel and Baosteel Resources have made full equity contribution in VISA BAO Limited, for setting up an Integrated Ferro Chrome Complex in Orissa and the project is in advanced stage of construction.
Financial Statements
Outlook
Our revenues and profitability are expected to improve with the completion of our Special Steel Plant. We shall maintain our growth trajectory in the coming years and endeavour to become a leader in value added Steel products to create value for our shareholders and deliver sustainable growth for the nation. I would like to place on record my sincere appreciation and thank the entire team of VISA Steel for their relentless commitment and passion to transform the Companys vision into a vibrant reality. I am also grateful to the members of the Board of the Company for their invaluable guidance and contribution. I would also like to express my sincere thanks to all the stakeholders for their confidence and faith and to all the Government, Regulatory Authorities & Banks for their valued support Warm Regards,

The focus is now to backward integrate into mining of iron ore, chrome ore and coal as quickly as possible in order to reduce raw material costs and improve margins.
The financial year 2010-11 was a year of healthy growth at VISA Steel. We have created a strong foundation by creating a fully integrated Steel Complex with infrastructure ready for driving the next level of growth. The increase in price realisations across Coke, Ferro Chrome, Pig Iron and Sponge Iron has enabled the Company to register a healthy growth in sales revenue, despite lower production and sales volumes of Pig Iron. We had stable margins inspite of higher raw material costs (coking coal, iron ore and chrome ore). We completed the Special Steel Project and also introduced an ESOP Scheme. We shall continue to focus towards high quality of growth and maximization of shareholder value.
Ferro Chrome production was 44,372 MT in 2010-11 compared to 47,649 MT in 2009-10; Hot Metal production was 46,233 MT in 2010-11 compared to 150,424 MT in 2009-10 due to closure of OMCs Daitari Mines; Sponge Iron production was 134,538 MT in 2010-11 compared to 139,299 MT in 2009-10; Power generation was 226 million units in 2010-11 compared to 223 million units in 2009-10.
Stable Operations
During the financial year 2010-11, we registered satisfactory production volumes despite pressure on smooth availability of raw material. LAM Coke production was 340,339 MT in 2010-11 compared to 353,601 MT in 2009-10;
The focus is now to backward integrate into mining of iron ore, chrome ore and coal as quickly as possible in order to reduce raw material costs and improve margins.
and promotions. We improve our team building and encourage family bonding through our annual social activities calendar.

The Company has achieved completion of 0.5 million TPA Special Steel Plant and 3rd 25 MW Power Plant taking the power generation to 75 MW. This will further boost the Companys growth in revenues and margins.
Overview
Operations
The Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing value added products from coal and minerals into LAM Coke, High Carbon Ferro Chrome, Pig Iron, Sponge Iron (DRI) and Special Steel (Long products). In addition, the Company generates Captive Power. During the year under review, production volumes across all Units have been stable and higher price realisation across various products has enabled the Company to register a robust growth in sales revenue. The operating margins of the Company have been stable inspite of higher cost of raw materials such as Coking Coal, Iron Ore, Chrome Ore and Thermal Coal. We continue to drive our cost competitiveness through efficient raw material procurement and captive power generation. The Company has registered a revenue growth of 14% to Rs. 13,328.79 million in the FY2010-11 compared to Rs. 11,714.83 million during the FY 2009-10. The operating margins decreased to 15% at Rs. 2,055.98 million in the FY2010-11 versus 17% at Rs. 1,976.36 million in the previous year. The PBT was Rs. 864.55 million for the FY2010-11 as against Rs. 856.78 million and PAT was Rs. 513.77 million as against Rs. 474.16 million for the corresponding period. During the year under review, the Company achieved satisfactory production volumes despite pressure on smooth availability of raw materials. The production of Coke was 340,339 MT compared to 353,601 MT in the previous year. The production of High Carbon Ferro Chrome was slightly lower at 44,372 MT compared to 47,649 MT during the previous year. The production of Pig Iron was 46,233 MT compared to 150,424 MT in the previous year mainly due to non-availability of raw materials owing to closure of OMCs Daitari mines. The production of Sponge Iron was 134,538 MT compared to 139,299 MT in the previous year. The captive power generated during the year was 226 million units as against 223 million units in the previous year. The Company has achieved completion of 0.5 million TPA Special Steel Plant and 3rd 25 MW Power Plant taking the power generation to 75 MW. This will further boost the Companys growth in revenues and margins.
The Company has decided to set up an Iron Ore Sinter Plant in order to hedge the iron ore procurement as it is currently buying only sized iron ore. This would also ensure continuous smooth running of the Blast Furnace. The Company plans to set up additional Captive Power generation facilities to meet the shortfall in captive power generation vis--vis requirements including requirement of its subsidiary VISA BAO Ltd and a Lime Kiln Plant to ensure smooth running of Steel Melt Shop. The Company has charted a vision for expanding the existing facility at Kalinganagar in Orissa from 0.5 million TPA to 1 million TPA Steel Plant and Power Plant from 75 MW to 375 MW and set up greenfield facility of 1 million TPA Steel Plant and 300 MW Power Plant at Raigarh in Chhattisgarh. The plan is to raise the total Steel production of the Company to 2 million TPA and power generation to 675 MW over the next few years and provide the foundation to maintain high quality growth and enhance value creation for its shareholders. During the year, the Company has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Madhya Pradesh Trade & Investment Facilitation Corporation Ltd. (TRIFAC), a wholly owned undertaking of Government of Madhya Pradesh, for setting up a 1.25 million TPA Integrated Steel Plant with 300 MW Captive Power Plant and 100,000 TPA Manganese Alloy Plant, with a total investment of Rs. 4,025 Crores. The Companys subsidiary VISA BAO Limited, is setting up a 100,000 TPA Ferro Chrome Plant with 4 Submerged Arc Furnaces of 16.5 MVA each at Kalinganagar in Orissa. The Company has made significant progress towards implementation of the project. A detailed analysis of the Companys operations, segment-wise performance, project review, risk management, strategic initiatives and financial review & analysis, as stipulated under Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement with the Stock Exchanges is presented under a separate section titled Management Discussion & Analysis Report forming part of the Annual Report.

Overview
During the financial year 2010-11, the Company has achieved healthy growth in sales and profitability and is poised to emerge as a stronger Company to deliver enhanced shareholder value over the coming years. Your Company registered a stable performance during 2010-11 with a 14% growth in revenues to Rs. 13,328.79 million, 4% growth in EBIDTA to Rs. 2,055.98 million, 1% increase in PBT to Rs. 864.55 million and 8% rise in PAT to Rs. 513.77 million.
MT levels. Due to the volatility in Coking Coal prices over the last couple of years, there has been a shift in pricing mechanism for Coking Coal from annual to quarterly to partly monthly benchmark prices. This has resulted in volatility in prices of iron and steel products as well. China continues to drive the global steel industry with a production of approx. 630 million tons in 2010 which equates to approx. 45% of global Steel production. Chinese Steel demand continues to be driven by large capital expenditure and government infrastructure projects across the country. However, it is expected that the production growth for steel in the current decade will slow down, which should reduce raw material prices. The Indian economy grew at 8.6% in 2010-11 against 7.2% last year which shows a remarkable growth. The economy is likely to grow at over 8% over the next decade driven by the infrastructure (power, road, railways, ports etc.) and consumption (automobile, real estate etc.) sectors which will result in robust growth in demand for various iron and steel products. The States of Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand which account for majority of the iron ore and coal reserves in the country will remain the most attractive locations for setting up iron and steel manufacturing capacity in the coming years.

The financial statements have been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting except as stated otherwise and comply with the accounting standards notified under Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act 1956 (the Act) and the relevant provisions of the Act to the extent applicable.
Statutory Reports
2.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income and expenses of the period, assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively in future periods.
3.
Revenue recognition
The revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue from sales of goods is recognized upon passage of title to the customer, which generally coincides with their delivery. Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. Interest income is recognized using the time proportion method, based on the transactional interest rates.
Financial Statements
4.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at original cost net of tax / duty credits availed if any, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes pre-operative expenses and all expenses related to acquisition, exploration and installation of the concerned assets. Financing costs relating to acquisition of fixed assets are also included to the extent they relate to the period till such assets are ready to be put to use. The carrying amounts are reviewed at each balance sheet date when required to assess whether they are recorded in excess of their recoverable amounts, and where carrying values exceed this estimated recoverable amount, assets are written down to their recoverable amount.
5.
Depreciation
Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on written down value method as per rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 on pro-rata basis.
6.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognized only when future economic benefits attributable to the assets will flow to the enterprise and cost can be measured reliably and are amortised in equal installments over its useful life.

Current Tax

Deferred tax assets are not recognised unless there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.
