the previous year. Revenue from operations stood at ?5,021.12 Lakhs compared to ?5,097.31
Lakhs in the previous financial year, indicating a marginal dip of 1.49%. However, the Company
continues to maintain a stable revenue base despite challenging market dynamics and
competitive industry pressures.
The Total Expenses for the year stood at 4,883.77 Lakhs, reflecting a reduction of 104.78
Lakhs compared to 4,988.55 Lakhs in the previous year. This improvement is primarily
attributable to effective cost control measures and operational efficiency enhancements
undertaken during theyear.
As a result, the Company achieved a Profit before Tax (PBT) of 194.65 Lakhs, as against
164.34 Lakhs in the previous year, reflecting a growth of approximately 18.45%.
However, due to a net deferred tax impact of (93.77) Lakhs, as compared to a significant
deferred tax gain of 598.98 Lakhs in the previous year, the Profit after Tax (PAT) for LY
2024-25 stood at 100.88 Lakhs, compared to 763.32 Lakhs in LY 2023-24. The previous
year''s PAT was exceptionally high due to recognition of deferred tax assets in line with IND AS
principlesand improved profitability outlook.
Accordingly, the Earnings per Share (EPS) for the year stood at 1.11 as compared to 8.22 in
the previous year.
Despite a relatively stable top-line performance, the net profit was moderated primarily due
to the absence of deferred tax gain which had positively impacted the bottom line in the prior
year. The operational performance, however, continues to reflect resilience and sustained
efforts toward cost management, customer retention, and product optimization.
The Company remains focused on strengthening its core competencies, exploring new
business opportunities, and improving operational efficiencies to deliver long-term

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
The total income of the company has increased by approximately 12% but
the company has incurred a loss of Rs. 356.05 lakhs during the year
which includes Bad Debt & Provision for Doubtful debt amounting to Rs.
102.08 lakhs. This provision has been due to deduction of penalty from
our bills by Electricity utility Companies of Gujarat towards delay
delivery for the year 2011-12. The losses were incurred by the Company
mainly due to the following reasons.
a) Export Order :
The company executed export orders this financial year but the pending
order could not be executed completely during this year because due to
non- availability of Bankable Letter of Credit from our customer at
Libya. Secondly there was long delay in release of payment from ECCO,
the company had to carry huge amount of inventory thus there is an
increase of interest liability and blockage of Working Capital. Since
the payment was not forthcoming, the risk of supplying the complete lot
was not worth taking and hence there was reduction of turnover.
b) Domestic Order :
The local Electrical Utilities in Odisha did not procure sufficient
transformers and hence we tried to explore other markets like Gujarat
and Chattisgarh. The pending orders worth INR 1186 lakhs from Gujarat
were executed; but further orders were not available as utilities in
Gujarat reduced the procurement quantity.
The company is supplying Amorphous Transformers to the Utilities in
Gujarat from Bhubaneswar and CRGO Transformers from Baroda. The margin
against this orders are very Low and delay in supply attract 10%
penalty. Meanwhile, in case of Amorphous transformers, the import of
raw materials appreciated due to weakening of Rupee vis-a Âvis US$.
Sales :
The Sales from Bhubaneswar Unit were affected due to retrenchment of
non-performing workers, Labor unrest & strike and absent during the
financial year. The Gujarat Order was completely executed by
December''2012 and enough orders were not available to feed the Unit
till the Year end.
The Vadodara unit had Sales Turnover of Rs.652.52 Lakhs which is
approximate 60% less than expected level.
Some of the financial parameters are given hereunder:
(Rs. In Lakhs)
Particulars 2012-13 2011-12
Export Sales 397.88 16.35
Domestic Sales 1621.24 1850.08
Other Income 14.72 31.04
Profit Before Tax (355.10) (209.62)
Profit after Tax (356.05) (228.72)
EPS (6.64) (4.27)
VALUATION:
The PBT & PAT has been decreased by 69.41% and 55.67% respectively in
comparison to the last Financial Year. The EPS has gone down from
Rs.(4.27) for the last FY to Rs.(6.64) for FY 2012-13.
FUTURE PROSPECTS:
During the year 2013-14, the management is hopeful for revival of the
company for the following reason
- Export is slowly getting stabilized and expected to good
- The procurement by Odisha electrical Utilities has been proactive and
their payment has improved and is regular. The company has received
orders worth INR 1200 Lakhs from Odisha Electrical utilities and we
expect further orders worth INR800 to 1000 lakhs from them during this
financial year. Hence it is expected that breakeven production level
can be achieved during this year.
- We are hopeful of getting sizable orders from Chattishgarh State
Electricity Board & Gujarat Electricity utilities during July-September
2013.
- For our Baroda Unit, we had procured orders worth Rs.142.05 lakhs
from M/s. Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. and are expecting further order
from them after completion of balance order.
- We also expect fresh orders from Gujarat electricity utilities by
July 2013 for Baroda unit.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
The Company's financial position during the year has been badly
affected due to global economic meltdown and recession of 2008-09 and
subsequent political turmoil during 1st quarter of 2011 in Libya. The
company had procured order worth of 650 lakhs alongwith L.C. during the
year, from ECCO (Joint venture Company of Govt. India & Govt. of Libya)
for the 1st time after recession of 2008. About 1/3rd of ordered
quantity under final shape of completion and were to be shipped out
during March 2011 after inspection by ECCO officials. But due to recent
disturbances of Libya the materials could not be inspected nor
dispatched. A lot of raw materials procured for the on going
manufacturing process of above Export order and due to above situation
the manufacturing of above export order was completely stopped.
Similarly the balance payment against providing Technical Services to
ECCO was held up due to disturbances in Libya.
However during the year under review, company has procured domestic
order worth of about 1800 Lakhs during 3rd quarter. Since the order was
received late it could not be executed fully during the current year.
During the current year, the overall financial results hence reduced.
Some of the financial parameters are given hereunder:

All other Transformers are AMDT Transformers. The states like Gujarat,
Rajasthan & Maharasthra patronizes Energy Efficient Transformers and
regularly buying Amorphous Metal Distribution Transformers in large
quantities. Recently Gujarat Electricity Utilities have floated tenders
for the requirement for the distribution transformers of about 360
Cores. Hence your company is expecting a good part of above orders

transformers from Gujarat & this is the 2nd year of supply to Gujarat
Utility. We are participating in Tender in June,2011, orders against

financial year in the challenging business environments. Export orders
received from Libya could not be executed. In process goods worth of 2
crores meant for export to Libya by end of 31st March,2011 which could

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
The impact of global economic meltdown and recession of 2008-09 has
been reflected on the financial performance of current year. During the
year under review, the Company could not get any export orders, except
leftover contracts of previous year. This is due to the impact of
global recession of 2008-2009. However, turnover in respect of domestic
sales has been increased by 30.89% in comparison to last year. But,
overall, financial results of current year have been decreased in
comparison to last year. Some of the financial parameters are given
hereunder-
Particulars 2009-10 2008-09 Variance +/(-)

- Domestic Sales 1556.92 1189.53 30.89

EPS 1.41 6.57 (78.53)
VALUATION :

and 78.48% respectively from last year. The EPS has also decreased for
the accounting year to Rs.1.41 from Rs.6.57 of 2008-09.
FUTURE PROSPECTS:
It is not out of place to mention here that, Government of India has
constituted an Organization named as Bureau of Energy Efficiency" who
have issued a mandate on 9th January2010, that all Distribution
Transformers to be
purchased shall be of minimum of 3-Star Rating. It is cost effective
to manufacture Distribution Transformers with Amorphous Metal Core to
achieve 3-Star, 4-Star & 5-Star Ratings. In fact, your Company has
already received 5-Star for 16 KVA and 4-Star ratings for 63 & 100 KVA
from Bureau of Energy Efficiency. We have also applied for above Star
ratings for other Transformers like 10,16,25,63 & 100 KVA for Unit I &
IV. The States like Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan patronizes
Energy Efficient Transformers and regularly buying Amorphous Metal
Distribution Transformers in large quantities. Further, in view of
thrust and policy of Government of India to electrify all Villages by
2020, the demand of Energy Efficient Transformers is likely to grow
exponentially in coming year. Recently, Gujarat government called for
Amorphous Metal Distribution Transformers worth more than 60 Crores.
Rajasthan and Maharashtra are also floating large tender. Keeping these
in views, your board in its meeting held on 30.07.2009 approved to
set-up an Amorphous Metal Distribution Transformers manufacturing Plant
at Vadodara with the support from Hitachi Metal (India) Limited and the
process is going-on. The proposed capacity of the Plant would be 1000
Tons per annum and the cost of the project is Rs.445.00 Lakhs. From
this project we will be able to meet tote demand of AMDT Transformers
in Western India.
However, due to global economic meltdown & recession of 2008-09,
compelled with inflation of input cost and entry of new transformers
Companies & expansion of existing units, the transformer industries as
a whole are facing a difficult period. Moreover, the rupee devaluation
in comparison to Euro/US Dollars results ih decrease in profits in
Exports. The prices of main raw materials like
Copper, CRGO, etc. have been increased in international Market
resulting higher input cost. Your Company is focusing on domestic
orders from Utilities & Private customers and also taking all possible
steps for procuring orders from overseas. During this current year,
your Company has already procured orders from Jaipur Vidyut Vitaran
Nigam(JVVNL); Rajasthan and hopeful of getting further orders from
Gujarat Electricity Utilities, CESU & other Electricity Board, the
orders will be finalized within next two/three months.
