  1. BACKGROUND OF THE TARGET COMPANY
4.1.KDIL having its registered office at Village Softa, Tehsil Palwal, Distt. Faridabad , Haryana 121 004 was incorporated on 21.08.1992 with the Registrar of Companies, West Bengal. Company Law Board passed the order dated 14.08.2002 for change of registered office from the State of West Bengal to the State of Haryana and the company received the certificate dated 12.12.2002 from the Registrar of Companies, NCT of Delhi & Haryana giving effect to such change.

KDIL was promoted by Kwality Ice Creams (India) Limited, Late Mr. P.N. Ghai and Mr. Pradeep Wig with the main object to carry on the business of manufacturing, processing and dealing in Dairy Products. The company is presently dealing in ghee, milk powder and other dairy products.

4.2.The total paid up equity share capital of KDIL as on the date of the Public Announcement is Rs.18,20,00,000/- comprising 1,82,00,000 fully paid up equity shares of Rs. 10/- each. Out of this 1,32,00,000 fully paid equity shares are listed on the stock exchanges whereas remaining 50,00,000 fully paid up equity shares are not listed on any of the stock exchanges. The new management will take steps to get these shares listed on the stock exchanges.

4.3.KDIL passed a resolution on 15.12.2000 to issue by way of preferential allotment 5,00,000 fully convertible preference shares at a price of Rs. 10/- each to be converted into fully paid up equity shares within 18 months from the date of issue. The same were converted into equity share on 14.06.2002. These shares were acquired by KICL, promoter of the target company. As a result of the said acquisition/ conversion, the shareholding of KICL increased from 35.93% (pre conversion) to 53.53% (post conversion) and hence, Regulation 11(1) of the Regulations was attracted. Further the collective shareholding of the promoter group increased from 78.60% (pre conversion) to 84.48% (post conversion) and hence, Regulation 11(1) of the Regulations was attracted. In terms of Regulation 3(1)(c) of the Regulations (prior to amendment on 09.09.2002), in order to be eligible for exemption from the applicability of Regulation 11(1) and 11(2) of the Regulations, KICL was required to comply with the provisions of Regulations 3(1)(c) and 3(3) and was also required to file a report under Regulation 3(4) read with 3(5) of the Regulations. However, KICL had not filed any report u/r 3(4) for the said acquisition of 17.60% equity shares of KDIL and hence, the extent of compliance with the aforementioned regulations could not be examined. Further, KICL is one of the parties to the agreement dated 11.12.2002 entered into by the Acquirers prior to this offer. In view of the above, the agreement dated 11.12.2002 can not be acted upon till the required report is filed with SEBI and the compliance is established.

4.4.As more than 50% of the net worth was eroded due to accumulated losses, the company had filed an application to the Board of Industrial and Financial Reconstruction on 23.11.2001 in compliance with the necessary laws. There has been no further correspondence on the matter.

4.5.1,32,00,000 fully paid equity shares representing 72.53% of the paid up/ voting capital of KDIL are listed on BSE, DSE and CSE.

4.6.The company is the license user of the trade mark 'Kream Kountry' which is registered in the name of 'Kwality Ice Creams (India) Limited'. As per the Acquisition Agreement M/s Kwality Ice Creams (India) Limited has agreed to assign/ transfer all its right, title and interest together in the said trade mark in favour of the Target Company. However, the company is entitled to continue to use the said brand name till all the formalities of assigning/ transfer are completed and no royalty for the use of the trade mark will be required to be paid by the company until the completion of such transfer.

4.7.Share capital structure of KDIL:

Paid up equity Shares of Target Company

No. of Shares

% of paid up capital/voting rights
Fully paid up equity share 1,82,00,000 100%

4.8.There are no convertible instruments (warrants/FCDs/PCDs), etc. in the KDIL.

4.9.The applicable provisions of Chapter II of the Regulations have been complied with by KDIL at stock exchanges. However, there have been some delays in filing the same.

However, in case of non compliance penal action may be initiated against the company in future.
