REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The operating results of the current year were negatively impacted
owing to the following reasons:-
I. The Company is not carrying out any tea manufacturing activity at
its unit located in Ooty, Tamilnadu, since August,2008, due, to the
fact that the Tea Board oi: këKa has revoked the factorys registration
under the provisions of Tea (Marketing) Control Order, 2003 issued
underlie provisions of thejea Act, 1953.
II. The Company, therefore, decided to change its business model from
manufacturing to trading in tea. Moreover m order to generate Working
Capital as well as reduce Borrowings, the Board decided to sell, lease
or otherwse dispose of - a) the residual land of 6.95 acres including
the tea factory at Ooty along with all fixed assets such as plant,
machinery, estate and development, etc. which are directly or
indirectly required to run the factory, and b) the Corporate Office
Building of the Company at Kolkata. The proposal had been duly approved
by Shareholders under Section 293(1 )(a) by means of Postal Ballot in
December, 2008. The sale is yet to be finalized.
Loss of Turnover and under-recovery of expenses, including
depreciation and interest, resulted in high operating losses.
ACTION PLAN
In 2010-11, action plan has been put in place to ensure that costs are
reduced, turnover enhanced and over-all margin increased:-
- As had been mentioned in the previous year, out of the 46.95 acres of
land owned and occupied by the tea division of the Company at its Ooty
factory, such portion of the vacant land measuring approximately 40
acres, with a little more or less, which was unutilized and
unproductive is in the process of being sold for which shareholders
approval has been obtained by the Company. Your Company has till
October 2009, received an advance of about Rs. 868.20 lacs. Owing to the
downturn in the Real Estate market the buyer is unable to finalize the
Sale but it is expected that the transaction will be completed at the
earliest. At the same time, your Company is endeavouring to finalize
the sale of the Companys Head Office Building in Kolkata as well as
the Factory at Ooty. Once these transactions are completed the
liquidity position of the Company will improve substantially and the
business model of trading can start in full swing.
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
The shareholders might recall that during the previous year it was
reported that the sale of approximately 40 acres of unutilized and
unproductive land at Ooty factory, for which shareholders approval had
already been obtained earlier, was expected to bs concluded within the
year 2010-11. But due to the sudden economic downturn the sale could
not be completed. Your directors are hopeful of completing the deal
during the current year.
Besides the above, shareholders approval was also obtained through
postal ballot means to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of a) the
factory including land of approximately 6.95 acres at Ooty, and b) the
Corporate Office at Kolkata. Your directors are hopeful of completing
the deal during the current year.
Upon completion of the above transactions the liquidity position of the
Company will improve substantially and the business model of trading
can start in full swing.
