Key strengths The company has been in the industry for more than two decades. The company s long presence in the sector has helped it establish a brand and strong relationship with its clients. Given the niche area that it caters to (seismic services), the company has built up a diverse client base which includes both public and private sector companies. The company has a demonstrated track record and has carried out seismic services in the geographically rough terrain of North-East and has built experience working in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Uttaranchal. Key concerns On account of its deteriorating credit profile and weak leverage ratios, the company s credit rating was downgraded to 'CRISIL BB-/Negative/CRISIL A4' from 'CRISIL BB+/Stable/CRISIL A4+' in August 2015. 55% of the company s order book is from the Kurdistan region in Iraq. However, geopolitical issues in the region could derail the company s strategy and operations. Most of the company s revenues are generated from a few PSU clients and over dependence on these clients could lead to operational difficulties for the company going forward. Key financial indicators In FY15, the company s operating costs increased significantly due to increased expenditure for projects in the Kurdistan region. As a result, even though the company s revenues increased from Rs.1.2 bn in FY14 to Rs.1.5 bn in FY15, the company reported a net loss of Rs.270 mn in FY15. The statutory auditors of the company have raised concerns over the company s trade receivables and loans and advances, aggregating to Rs.140 mn, which have been due for more than one year. The auditors are doubtful that his amount can be recovered. The auditors have also raised a flag for managerial remuneration exceeding the prescribed limits under Companies Act 2013. Industry overview Unexplored basins Low cost structure Given the large unexplored territories in the country, exploration companies are going to continue to require the services of seismic survey players like ASIAN. With an increase in the oil and gas exploration and production activities across the world, Indian players like ASIAN will benefit because of their increasing expertise and low cost operating models.
