PERFORMANCE
The year under review was an unprecedented challenging and competitive
year for your company and other manufactures in the Kerosene Wick
Stoves Industries. This was primarily due to sharp decline in real GDI3
growth of agriculture and allied activities to 0.8% in 1999-2000 from
7.2% in 1998-99, resulting into an adverse impact on rural spending and
affected demand for sonsumer goods. In this context your company
recorded sales of Rs. 750.56 lacs during the year as against Rs. 914.92
lacs in the previous year. The profit margin was also effected due to
reduction in the selling price to maintain the market share and
increase in raw materials cost in last quarter of the year. The low
capacity utilisation is also one of the reason for decline in profit
for the year. MARKET
The perf omance of the company in yet another difficult Year bears
tetimony to the fact that the company is capable of orienting its
activities to serve the dynamic needs of the ever changing market. This
is clearly proved by the performance of the New Brand named products
introduced in the beginning of the year, aggregating upto 13% total
production and sales of the year. The sales of 98.84% of the total
production of the year indicates the proper marketing strategy of
the.company. Besides the product basket of the company was also widened
to include a few more new brand names during the year.
With the perception of providing value added services to customers, the
company has decided to use its spare capacity for the manufacture of
L.P.G. GAS Stoves the demand of which is increased subtaintiaiy in
urban and rural market in last year. The product development is on the
verge of completion and your company has planned to launch the same in
the market by middle of the year. The marketing of the product
"Hurricane lantern" developed in previous year was postponed by the
company due to competitive market in rural sector. But now the same
will also be launched along with LPG Stoves. The Export performance of
the company was adversiy affected during the year due to low demand in
African Countries and high competition with other exporters like China.
The demand is again built up for your company product and sincere
efforts are made to export the Hurricane lantern to these countries.
Your company expects good amount of export in next year for both the
products.
The companys emphasis will continue to remain focussed towars cost
reduction measures, brand building and targeted customers through out
the country and improvement of productivity in the coming years. Export
market of stoves and "Hurricane lantern" and productionof newproducts
(L.P.G. Stoves) will increase the capacity utilisation which will
result into increase in profit margin. Thus the company is well poised
to retain its tempo of growth despite tough competition both at
domestic and global level. DIVIDEND
To strengthen the financial position of the company and also due to
marginal profit your Directors are unable to recommend any dividend for
this year again.
