14. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

Management Discussion and Analysis Report has been included in adherence to the Exchange spirit enunciated in the code of corporate governance approved by the Securities and Exchange Board of India. Management presents herein the industry overview, opportunities and threats, initiatives by the Company and its overall strategy for the future. This outlook is based on the assessment of current business environment, which may vary due to the future economic and other developments both in India and abroad.

(A)Industry Structure and Development:

Refractories are made of naturally occurring minerals, such as bauxite, kyanite, magnesite, fireclay, chrome ore, etc. Refractories are used either where high temperature or high rate of abrasion/ corrosion/ erosion is involved. Lately, however, the industry has been using manmade raw materials, such as brown-fused alumina, tabular alumina, fused magnesia, silicon carbide, magnesia alumina, etc. It has a wide product range and comprehensive to suit the requirement of different industry segments. These are produced in Special Shapes and are Custom made to suit the requirements of the various industries.

Refractory plays a dynamic role not only for metallurgical but also for shaping up chemical and petrochemical, glass, ceramic, cement and limestone industries. Refractory Industry in India is now getting consolidated. Major manufacturers in terms of volume are foreign owned companies.

The turnover of such companies was 60% of total turnover of the Industry. This has brought or is likely to bring several new products and technology in the country for refractories used in steel making. The refractory industry is moving along with a mixed bag of project and maintenance requirement. The raw material pricing and supply continues to worry. However, the positive trend in projects is taking concrete shape, refractory installation activity is picking up and new facility is nearing completion in some upcoming steel projects.

(B) Opportunities and threats Opportunities in the refractories industry:

The refractories industry largely follows trends set by its main driver, the steel industry. Iron and steel production is responsible for up to 70 % of the total demand for Refractories, therefore the profitability of the refractories industry as a whole is strongly influenced by steel production levels and steel plant investments. There is a steep fall in the demand for steel due to a decline in the infrastructure sector, while the short term outlook remains problematic because of the global economic situation; there could be realistic and sustainable growth in steel production and in other key end user industries till 2017. Indeed, there may even be a short- term surge in demand for refractories once confidence recovers because of new capital investment and refurbishment of idled equipment.

Threats in the Refractories industry:

Absence of clear cut policy on iron ore mining has led to closure of steel plants, especially those based on sponge iron as feed material. If this situation continues, the expected growth in steel may not materialize at desired pace. Another major issue for refractory business is from the small scale industries. These industries are expanding their operations at a rapid pace and are presently ready to compete with large scale industries. Also these industries are coping up with the technological changes taking place in the industry and given the amount of support received from the government for their upliftment, these SSIs definitely seem to be a threat in the near future. Your Company is taking steps to take on the challenges and strengthen its brand image in neighboring states as well as in Telangana where the company is already a brand leader. Power remains another major threat to the industry. Severe power shortage and high cost of power in the State has rendered most of the factories very non remunerative.

(C) Segment or Product wise Performance:

Your company operates in only one business segment and one product viz., refractories.

(D) Outlook:

Market outlook in future for refractory seems good. Per capita consumption of steel in India is being far below in comparison to the international standards. It is expected that the demand for increase of domestic steel production will be robust and this will have positive impact in refractory consumption. Growth in real estate and consumer durable sector will lead to increase in cement, glass and special alloys production. This will also necessitate use of better quality refractories. Your Company's effort to keep pace with changing technology which offer superior product will ensure not only retention of existing business but also increase the business volume wherever such products are used.

(E) Risks and Concerns:

India's refractory industry has witnessed a dramatic squeeze in margins amidst poor demand from end users and rising raw material prices. Sudden rise in the price of the raw material is due to dependence of the refractory industry on the raw materials imported from China. It is a matter of great concern as the use of synthetic raw materials is driving the prices of the raw materials higher. Further, the raw material prices have increased from 80% to 85% but the prices of finished products have increased from 18% to 30% resulting in erosion of bottom lines of the refractory companies.

The refractory industry is going through an exciting and complex phase. On one hand, refractory makers are adding capacities with the hope that demand from the steel sector will rise at a fast pace.

On the other hand, usage of the new technology processes is leading to reduction in refractories consumption.

A major area of concern is availability of adequately qualified and competent workforce. The Industry is facing countless difficulties both in terms of increasing raw material and other input costs as well as the availability, further the negotiating power of the refractory makers is poor mainly due to their size as it caters to the industries which are far bigger in sizes like aluminum, steel, cement etc.

(F) Discussion on financial performance with respect to operational performance:

Your Company has achieved the gross turnover of Rs. 1607.50 lakhs as against a turnover of Rs.1697.47 lakhs achieved during the previous financial year. The Company has incurred a Net loss of Rs1692.33 lakhs as against loss of Rs355.86 lakhs during previous year.

(G) Material developments in Human Resources/Industrial Relations front including number of people employed

It is your Company's belief that the competence and commitment of its people are key drivers of competitive advantage enabling the Company to compete successfully in the market place. Your Company endeavors to strengthen organizational culture in order to attract and retain the best talent and bring out the best in people.
