-- 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.
Segment Revenue and results
Segment revenue Segment profit 30-Jun-13 30-Jun-12 30-Jun-13 30-Jun-12 ---------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Biodiesel 854 2966 179 (368) Jatropha 340 763 (193) 110 Nutraceuticals 104 374 (137) 92 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total for continuing operations 1298 4104 (152) (166) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Finance costs (87) (61) Finance income 1 16 Loss before tax (238) (211) ---------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

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.
