Review of operations
The year under review was critical for your Company in view of the
severe liquidity constraints faced resulting from aggressive expansion
in the last two years; PCB cap on the production capacities; delay in
stabilising the operations at Unit 3; non-commencement of operations at
Unit 4 and unrest due to agitations in the State. All these factors
have contributed to mismatch of cash flows, which in turn resulted in
defaults to various stakeholders.
During the year, the material consumption as a percentage of income at
Rs.1767.48 million constituted 66.40% of income, while it was lower at
64.23% in 2010-11. With marginal increases in manufacturing and
employee costs, the operating margin was lower at 14.40% as against
17.17% reported in the previous year. Hence, the operating profit was
lower at Rs.383.30 million as against Rs.444.81 million in the previous
year.
Further, the year witnessed inflationary pressures which impacted raw
material prices, all of which could not be passed on to the customers.
The tight money policy followed by the central bank, tended to firm up
the interest rates affecting finance costs. Your Company incurred
finance costs of Rs.255.43 million, approximately 54% higher than the
previous year. The impact of the prevailing external challenging
conditions did impact your Company's business, and despite being
productivity oriented and raising the level of cost consciousness, the
profit after tax was Rs.34.39 million for the year, lower than Rs.131.90
million reported in 2010-11.
Sale of Unit 2
Your Company has taken systemic initiative to set right the tight cash
flow situation by deciding to dispose of Unit 2 situated at
Pashamylaram, Medak
Dist, Andhra Pradesh. A postal ballot process has already been
initiated in this regard for the approval of the Members and the result
will be announced on August 31, 2012. With the funds realised from sale
of Unit 2, your Company expects to ease the tight cash flow situation
and meet the various commitments to stakeholders and scale up the
production in the remaining two units. Your Company has drawn a
multipronged action plan to tackle the PCB issue and is confident of
resolving the same at the earliest.
The proceeds of sale shall be utilised to reduce debt burden; bring
idle assets to operation; and improve liquidity. These measures are
expected to make up for the loss of revenue by sale of Unit 2 through
higher capacity utilisation. Dividend
In order to conserve resources, your Board has decided not to recommend
dividend for the financial year 2011-12.
Exports
In 2011-12, your Company has achieved an export turnover of Rs.132.41
million. Your Company is trying to consolidate its presence in global
markets, while efforts to widen the depth and penetration of the
existing markets are being taken up and new markets are being explored.
