LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONS:

 

The year 2005-06 witnessed a major glut in the ferro alloy markets worldwide. This led to a severe squeeze in operating margins. Consequently, extended periods of shut down were taken at the company's smelter division and this led to poor operating performance from this division.

 

Adding to the problem was the fact that manganese ore prices remained high through the year and for most part of the year, there was very little parity between the price of finished alloy and the key input, manganese ore.

 

However, the hydro electric power plant witnessed two very good monsoon seasons and this led to an average PLF of around 33%. The HPP has seen the best year since inception.

 

The performance of the hydel division largely made up for the losses in the smelter division and overall, the company managed to record a PBDIT of Rs.108.800 millions and PBT of Rs.35.988 millions. In the above, the hydel division recorded a PBDIT of Rs. 174.600 millions (net) and the smelter division recorded a PBDIT of (-) Rs.65.800 millions.

 

The hydro electric power division generated a total of 52.000 millions units during the monsoon year 2005-06.

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS:

 

Low carbon Silico Manganese prices have started looking up towards the end of the year. The stainless steel industry, after a brief lull, has started picking up steam and is expected to drive demand for the company's products in a strong manner.

 

The coming year should witness stable operating profits on the smelter side and the hydro electric division subject to normal monsoon conditions, should witness an average PLF of about 25%.

 

The company has recently acquired rights to set up hydro electric power projects totaling to 20 MW capacity in the State of Kerala. The company is also bidding for rights to set up another 8 to 10 MW and in sum total, generating capacity of the hydro electric division is expected to touch 50 MW by the year 2008-09 yielding operating profits of about Rs.750 millions per annum.

 

FINANCE:

 

Long term debt levels have come down from Rs.303.400 millions to Rs.256.100 millions during the year. The average interest cost on long term debts is now at 10%

 

SHIFTING OF REGISTERED OFFICE

 

The Registered Office of the Company was shifted from 49 Avanashi Road, Coimbatore 641 037 to 'INDSIL House', T.V Swamy Rd. West, R.S. Puram.Coimbatore 641 002 for administrative convenience with effect from 17th April 2006.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:

 

The ferro alloy industry, which the company belongs to, is an integrated player in the steel and stainless steel industry. The company's products are consumed mostly by the stainless steel industry and a part of its production is consumed by the steel industry as well.

 

After a global boom across all varieties of ferro alloys in the year 2004-05, there was a major correction in the year 2005-06.

 

The prices slid from all time high levels by almost 60% and the industry went through very challenging times during this year in terms of viable and sustainable operations.

 

The boom in the ferro alloy prices was accompanied by a massive increase in the price of major inputs like manganese ore.

 

After the correction, manganese ore prices did not correct proportionately and this led to severe losses in terms of operations across the ferro alloy industry in India and worldwide.

 

Facilities with access to captive power managed to ride the down cycle and from the beginning of 2006, the situation has more or less stabilized. There has been a major shake out in the industry worldwide and unviable plants (including new ones) have been shut down and major consolidation efforts are happening worldwide in the ferro alloy industry. In India too, consolidation measures are starting and it is widely expected that such a shake out would eventually result in the industry remaining healthy and strong.

 

OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS :

 

The company continues to witness opportunities in the Low carbon silico manganese arena. The stainless steel industry, after a brief, one year lull, is expected to pick up steam once again and this will result in higher demand for Low carbon Silico manganese. The Government of India reduced duty levels to extremely low levels across the steel industry. Ferro alloy industry in India does not have access to cheap power compared to countries like South Africa and China. Therefore, competitiveness of the country's industry is at risk unless captive power generating capacities are built. The company continues to seek opportunities in the power sector, especially the hydro electric power sector in Kerala.

 

The company has recently acquired rights to build around 20 MW worth hydro electric generating capacities in the State and is planning to bid for rights for another 8 to 10 MW which would take the total generating capacity along with the existing capacity to around 50 MW. The time line given for commercial generation for the expanded capacity is 2009.

 

In the event the company successfully executes its plans, by 2009-10, the operating profits from the hydro electric power division is expected to cross Rs.750 millions per annum.

 

In terms of threats, competition from countries like China and South Africa continue to remain.

 

Poor monsoon performance remains a major threat to the viability of the company's operation and it is a factor that, the company has no control of.

 

In terms of increasing competitiveness in its ferro alloy smelter, the company continues to enhance productivity levels year on year and with a suitable range of product mix, profitability margins have been seeing continuous improvement over the last few years.

 

SEGMENTWISE PERFORMANCE:

 

Smelter division

 

Already covered under Industry structure and developments.

 

Power division

 

As always, the risk of monsoons remain an issue as far as the hydel division is concerned. Though the year 2005-06 has seen normal monsoons and early part of 2006-07 is witnessing good monsoons, one could have to keep monsoon behaviour in mind as a legitimate concern as far as the financial performance of the hydel division goes.

 

RISKS AND CONCERNS:

 

The major risk that the Company is always exposed to is the monsoon weather pattern which is the sole influencing factor behind the captive hydel station's operations.

 

The utilisation of the hydel station and consequently the availability of own power for smelter operations is a crucial driver of financial performance. Therefore, there is always a concern in terms of expectations of normal monsoon weather patterns.

Incorporated on 31 Aug.1990, Subject was promoted by S N Vardarajan, who has interests in two other companies -- Coimbatore Steels and Sun Metals and Alloys.  

 
Subject came out with a public issue aggregating Rs 28.500 millions in Jul.'93 to set up a Rs 120 millions unit to manufacture 7800 tpa of ferro silicon, its major product. In addition to ferro silicon, subject also manufactures aluminium ferro silicon. It has signed MOUs with state electricity boards for establishing 71-MW hydel power projects for captive consumption to ensure full power supply. The Kerala government has exempted the subject’s unit from power cuts and electricity duty for 5 years from the date of commercial production. 

 
The expansion of capacity by the addition of a 10/15 MVA furnace was completed by Mar.1997. 

 
During 1996-97, the civil work of the 21 MW power project at Kuthugal were started and was completed by June'99. World Bank through Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited (IREDA) has sanctioned Rs. 350.000 millions as term loan towards part funding of this project. 

 
During 1998-99, the company was awarded "KSIDC'S AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE-99" in recognition for its outstanding performance in terms of employment generation, good labour relations, contribution to economy and profitability. The first phase of the company's project Hydro Electric Power Plant at Kuthungal, Kerala involving one generator having a capacity of 7 MW was commissioned in May'2000. 

 
The company had successfully commissioned the 21 MW Kuthungal Hydro Electro Power Project during the year 2000-2001 which is the largest private hydel scheme in Kerala. This project had been completed within a period of 28 months. Hydro Electric Power Project was commissioned in May 2000 and the full commercial operation was in August 2000.
