  CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am extremely pleased to report that this financial year 2008-09, our second full year of operations since admission of the Company's shares to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange, has been successful year for the Company, marked by continual progress on construction of power plants by KSK Energy Ventures Limited (the Indian listed subsidiary), robust financial performance of operating assets, progress in various areas of the business under KSK Energy Company, and enhanced capability to handle new growth opportunities. 

Some of the Group's key developments during the year and recent months include:

 

Sustained construction activity is underway on three projects namely, the 135 MW VS Lignite power project, the 540 MW Wardha Warora project and the 43 MW Arasmeta expansion project. Not withstanding early development delays, these are now all on time and are expected to commission shortly.
Wardha Chhattisgarh (3,600 MW): Wardha Power Company has entered into a fuel supply agreement with Goa Industrial Development Corporation, who has been allotted Gare Pelma sector-III coal block in Chhattisgarh (such allotment to GIDC by Government of India), a fully explored block with estimated geological coal reserves of 215 million tons. With the availability of such additional fuel from Gare Pelma sector-III coal block in Chhattisgarh, this has allowed us to fast track development of an additional 1,800 MW of power generation capacity in the same location of Nariyara is being undertaken, where the Company is currently involved in setting up a 1,800 MW power plant based on coal supplies from Morga-II block by GMDC.
The Company has raised £32.5m of equity from the UK market, with the recent placing of new shares in KSK Power Ventur plc which was announced on 29 April 2009, to finance its various initiatives in the sector and also announced its plans to move to the Official list of the London Stock exchange and thereby broaden its base of investors. We are delighted with the strong support from our existing and new shareholders for this placing.
The Company has suffered a set back in the asset management business of the group through the investor decision to voluntarily liquidate the separately listed AIM company, KSK Emerging India Energy Fund which was managed by KSK Power Ventur plc. The Company as an asset manager has reserved its position with the Liquidators and is currently in discussions with investors for suitable mechanism to address the same in mutually acceptable manner.
The period has seen a consolidation of the Group's fuel access effort with various state mineral development corporations initiated in the previous years and execution of definitive agreements with underlying power plant companies with respect to project development and support.  Also new initiatives by KSK Mineral Resources to pursue new growth areas in the fuel collaboration business.
Recent efforts have been initiated to identify, evaluate and pursue various ancillary businesses associated with power generation activity in the areas of fuel sourcing, transmission and water infrastructure, In addition to recruitment of the necessary leadership team to lead such initiatives, the company is also looking forward to overseas fuel collaboration and negotiate potential acquisition opportunities both in power generation and associated businesses.
The company's Indian subsidiary, KSK Energy ventures Limited, has announced plans to setup a subsidiary with an explicit business objective of engaging in the business of power trading in India  and will look at long term opportunities of trading in surplus power of not only KSK sponsored power plants but also any additional planned / unplanned surplus of other power developers.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, KSK Energy Company, has initiated a broad collaboration with KSK Energy Ventures with the understanding of sharing of resources and credentials. KSK Energy Ventures will be given the opportunity of the first right of refusal with respect to any new fuel linkages / resources obtained by both companies collectively.

Financial Performance

The overall financial performance for the year was strong, due to continued development activities and profitable underlying power plant operations. The year's gross revenue increased 79% from $29.8m to $53.2m while gross profits increased 75% from $11.3m to $19.8m

Tariffs

Looking at the current trend in the market, there is a clear reflection of deficit which is demonstrated by the high tariffs commanded in the margin. For the financial year 2008-09, almost 22 billion kwh were traded at a weighted average price of Rs 7.29 /kwh (c.15 US cents / kwh). Hence, short term power tariffs are looking attractive in the Indian market.

Project Opportunities Pipeline & Fees

During the year the Company has made continual progress on the power projects, from which, associated revenue realisation of project development fees and interest earned on risk capital will accrue in the coming years. However, with consolidated financial statements under IFRS, such fees realised are eliminated to the extent of the group's equity stake in the underlying projects. Additionally, with the current progress on three power plants under construction, revenue from sales of power shall see a significant increase in the coming yearsUpon commissioning of the Wardha Chhattisgarh project during 2012 and 2013, revenue from generation activity is expected to increase the Company's power revenues significantly.

Investments / Divestments

The Company's Investment interest in the Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation, which is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (ticker BSE: GMDC) has experienced a significant decline in market value. The Company has provided for unrealised impairment losses of $13.0m during the current year as reflected in the financial statements.

Additionally, during the year, the Company has acquired a small strategic equity interest in Asian Infrastructure Pte Limited, Singapore, a Group holding company with extensive interest in power plants, Indonesian coal mining interests and energy consulting. The Company has primarily utilised back to back facility from Axis Bank, Singapore to predominantly fund the investment position and the balance from internal sources. The Company is currently in discussion with Sponsors and other shareholders of Asian Infra to consolidate the Company's equity interests in a format that would further strategic initiatives of the Group. Further details on the same will be notified as and when they are concluded.

Also, the Company is currently under finalisation stage of concluding divestment of equity stake in the two small power projects of RVK and KPCL in favour of KVK Group. This is to ensure recovery of the Company's investment and channelled the energies and focus on the mineral business pursuit by KSK Mineral resources.

KSK Energy Company - The Group's unlisted Indian subsidiary has further progressed on a number of business initiatives:

KSK Mineral Resources Private Limited - Further to the effort on securing fuel supplies for the large power projects of the group along with supporting development and support agreements, the group has initiated efforts to explore strategic acquisition of overseas mineral interest along with contracts for undertaking activity of captive coal mining with respect to various power plants being setup under the group, like VS Lignite Power, Wardha Power Company and also collaboration with various government entities for multiple mineral interests. 

KSK Surya Photovoltaic Venture Private Limited Exploring the opportunity for a manufacturing facility of solar photo voltaic panels (used in solar power generation) for supplies to domestic and overseas markets

KSK Investment Advisor Private Limited - An Advisor and Investment manager to third party investment funds from time to time. Currently provides services as:

as Investment Advisor to KSK Asset Management Services Private Limited, Mauritius; and

as Investment Manager to 'small is beautiful fund" subscribed by major public sector banks and financial institutions in India.

Further, KSK Energy Company has recently incorporated number of subsidiaries to pursue various ancillary businesses associated with power generation activity namely, KSK Water Infrastructure Private Limited, KSK Transmission Venture Private Limited, KSK Cargo Mover Private Limited amongst others.

Current Trading & Outlook

In the coming year, KSK will remain focused on the development and construction of its various power plant projects and increasing its total MW under development in India and also build towards a balanced portfolio of power generation assets.

We will be devoting significant management time and attention throughout the current year on closely monitoring of the construction activities of VSLP & Wardha Warora and progress on the Wardha Chhattisgarh Power Plant, together with new growth initiatives

The pursuit of  above power generation opportunities, newer renewable power manufacturing alternatives, collaboration with other developers, enabling access to newer coal resources are expected to significantly contribute to the Company's growth effort in the coming years. 

We are actively working on moving the listing of our shares in the UK to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, which is expected to be achieved by the Autumn of 2009.

We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead and appreciate the support of all our shareholders, as ever.

As of 1 April 2008, KSK Energy Limited (KEL) held 191,221,952 equity shares (65 percent equity ownership) in KSK Energy Ventures Limited (‘KEVL’). During the year ended 31 March 2009, KEVL issued additional 51,917,000 equity shares of face value of Rs. 10 (U.S. $0.25) each at a premium of Rs. 230 (U.S.$ 5.46) per share in the Indian domestic market by way of Initial Public Offering.
