BUSINESS RESULTS
During the period under review, the Company has achieved Sales Turnover
of Rs. 231162.44 Lacs and incurred Loss of Rs. 15318.80 Lacs.
During the period under review there was high volatility in the
Exchange rates and commodity markets. Further, due to general slowdown
and global recession the decline in the prices of finished goods was
more than proportionate to the decline in the prices of raw materials.
The un- remunerative prices and slackness in demand caused under
utilisation of capacity putting pressure on both profitability and cash
generation which necessitates increased borrowings. The cost of
utilities such as power and fuel harden during the period under review
and has further deteriorated the margin.
SALE OF STEEL BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
Globally the steel industry is being consolidated and large integrated
steel companies are emerging. In this scenario only the large
integrated players having control over supply of raw material will have
a competitive edge and are going to survive in the long run. The Indian
players are also consolidating and integrating both organically and
inorganically to meet the challenges posed by their peers in the
international market. The global meltdown and recession coupled with
non availability of raw material at competitive price has compelled
your directors to consider to integrate backward either inorganically
or organically which require huge funds and involve long gestation
period or to exit the sector. Having regard to the fact that the
prospects for stand alone processors will not improve in the near
future has prompted your directors to dispose off the steel business.
In pursuance to the authority obtained from the shareholders u/s 293(1
)(a) at the EGM held on 7th September 2009, the Steel business of the
Company has been transferred to Essar Steels Limited w.e.f. 29/10/2009
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Your directors are considering the project of putting up one or more
Steel service and logistic management centres involving running
stockyards having steel slitting and blanking facilities to cater to
the specific customer requirements to capitalise the goodwill earned
and contacts established both in India and abroad during the last
twenty years. Further your company is also evaluating various
opportunities in the Redevelopment and Slum Rehabilitation Activities
in Real Estate Sector. In Mumbai and Pune both these activities have
excellent growth opportunities.
