OPERATIONAL REVIEW:
After witnessing a worldwide downturn in all spheres of business
including in the steel industry in second half of 2008-09, your company
remained focused on its fundamentals including expansion plans. It was
only the result of the concerted and collective action undertaken by
your Company's Management that your Company could achieve such an
handsome growth in revenues during the year under review.
The revenues of the Company improved significantly across its
businesses with an upshot in the gross revenue to Rs. 84,11,40,587 as
compared to Rs. 2,95,35,648 in the preceding year, thus registering an
impressive growth of about 28 times.
Further it has always been your Company's endeavor to continually
uphold the interest of its stakeholders and this can be reflected from
the increase in the bottom line and the earnings per
share of your Company. The Bottom line of your Company recorded an
increase of about 90% as compared to the preceding year. Further the
Earnings per share of your Company's Shares have doubled as compared to
the preceding year, thus resulting in the overall accumulation of the
Shareholders wealth.
The Directors of your Company are Optimistic towards the future plans
of the Company and are confident of achieving higher margins in the
years to come.
FUTURE OUTLOOK:
Your Company functions in two business segments namely, Manufacturing
of Steel Products i.e. M.S. Ingot from M.S. Scrap and Trading in
upstream as well as downstream metal products.
The existing business segments enable your company to hedge as well as
capitalize on volatility in the raw material prices. The trading
division has facilitated us to maintain our profitability in this
strenuous phase of uncertainty and anxiety.
In the course of balancing the existing business activity your company
has acquired deep insight of commodities and capital markets and thus
the Board of Directors considers it desirable to bank on its expertise
and commence the Investment Business along with the main objects of the
Company.
The core activities of the Investment division shall include acquiring
and dealing in various financial securities such as shares, debentures,
bonds, obligations, securities issued by various Private as well as
statutory authorities.
The aforesaid resolution along with the necessary explanatory
statement, for commencing the Investment Business is proposed in the
Notice of this Annual General Meeting and the said notice forms the
part of this Annual Report.
We commend the resolution for your approval.
DIVIDEND:
After considering the financial results for the financial year, your
Directors are of the opinion that it is prudent that no dividend be
declared for the year under review so that the profits earned in the
financial year can be ploughed back and utilized towards various growth
and other expansion plans.
