Company Operations

 

Coming off the back of a high growth year the growth rate has dropped although it continues to he higher

than that of the economy.

 

Due to a fire and consequent shut down in a major vendor's plant in India, the price of a major input almost doubled making a serious impact on the Company's margins during the year. This was worsened by an adverse supply demand position for the input in the international market as well. The prices have stabilized albeit at a higher level in the next financial year.

 

It has been decided to accept a one-time charge of Rs 3.007 Millions on account of provision for gratuity liability to employees in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

 

The outlook for the coming year is positive.

 

The year under report (Year ended 31-3-05) has resulted in a net profit of Rs. 11.690 Millions after providing Rs. 3.798 Millions for Depreciation and Rs. 5.100 Millions for Taxation. This amount together with the Profit of Rs. 34.601 Millions brought forward from earlier years aggregating to Rs. 46.291 Millions is available for appropriation.

 

The Directors take note of the Auditors' comments regarding deposit of statutory dues The, Directors further state that the delays in deposit of statutory dues due to general destabilization consequent on shifting of the Company's Head Office Accounts from Worli to Nagar Road continued for 4 months into the financial year under report.

 

As on date, all undisputed statutory dues have been deposited. The Company had taken necessary measures to prevent recurrence of these incidents in the previous year itself. These have taken total effect and there are no delays after July 2004.
