LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS:

 

During the year under review, the total income earned by the Company is Rs.866.7 Millions as compared to Rs.851.8 Millions earned during the previous year. The Profit before tax stood at Rs.36.5 Millions as compared to Rs.20.7 Millions, earned during the previous year.

 

During the year under review, the income of the Company was only marginally higher as compared to last year, due to stiff competition for sale of products in the international market as well as competition from the international manufacturers in the local market. The profitability of the Company's operation was mainly affected due to increase in prices of major raw materials, fuel costs and increase in the financial costs.

 

The Company has received an incentive of Rs.24.7 Millions under the Target Plus Scheme launched by the Government which has added substantially to the profit of the year under review. In view of un-remurterative production and sales of plasticizers, the plasticizers plant was revamped, so as to produce Morpholine derivatives, thereby increasing the company's production capacity substantially. Sales for the additional capacity have already been tied up with the various users worldwide.

 

The effect of this expansion and utilization of both plasticizers plant and morpholine derivatives plant together will help the company in achieving better results in the coming years.

 

The Company is in the active stage of finalization for putting up additional Plant and Machinery for augmenting its production capacity for various products.

 

EXPORTS:

 

The export revenue of the Company was at Rs. 308.3 Millions as compared to Rs. 335.2 Millions earned during the previous year. The Company was thus able to maintain its position in the international market even amidst stiff competition.

 

EAP INDUSTRIES LIMITED:

 

The petition filed by the workmen of EAP Industries Limited & the company against the Order of BIFR before the Hon'ble AAIFR have been dismissed. The Workers of EAP Industries Limited. have filed an appeal before the Hon'ble High Court, Kolkata against the said Order.

 

There is no change in the status of EAP Industries case before the Hon'ble DRT as reported last year and the Company still awaits release of its Corporate Guarantees.
