Working of the Company

 

The export sales for the current year were Rs.44.784 millions as against Rs.120.226 millions during the preceding accounting year. The results of the current year show a cash loss of Rs.3.189 millions against the cash profit of Rs.6.629 millions in the preceding year. Depreciation has been provided at Rs.0.904 million (Preceding year Rs.1.004 million). Hence, the net operating results for the current year show a net loss of Rs.4.093 as against the net profit of Rs.5.625 millions in the preceding year. After making adjustments for the balance profits brought forward from the preceding year of Rs.5.495 millions, providing Fringe Benefit Tax for Rs.0.185 million, adjustment for Taxation relating to earlier years of Rs.0.127 million, adjustment of Deferred Tax Asset of Rs.1.234 millions, the net amount of surplus was Rs.2.324 millions which has been carried forward in the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2007.

 

In the preceding accounting year ended March 2006, despite the company accepting export orders at very low margins, due to severe competition, the company was faced with a considerable loss of Rs.4.689 millions on account of customers claims for defects / quality, most of which were raised on flimsy grounds. Such customers were large organizations and if the company had continued to make supplies to them on such basis, it could have been faced with even higher claims in future. To avoid this possibility, the company was forced to stop accepting orders on such basis.

 

Resultantly, the sales for the year under report were significantly lower, though with a better margin and the customers claims were only Rs.0.108 million. In view of the lower sales, the gross margin did not cover the fixed overheads resulting in the loss for the year.

 

Future Prospects

     

During the current year, the company is making concerned efforts to increase its export turnover. The company has also revived business with the earlier export customers, but with a clear understanding that flimsy claims will not be accepted. Since the revival of business is being done cautiously and gradually, the export turnover for the current year will be better than the preceding year but will not reach the levels of the year ended March 2006.

  

Contingent Liabilities

 

·         In respect of Surety Bond executed in favour of the Sales Tax Department, New Delhi, on behalf of a customer – Rs.0.100 million.

·         In respect of Surety Bond executed in favour of the Sales Tax Department, New Delhi, on behalf of a company in which the Managing Director is interested (through his relatives) – Rs.0.040 millions. 

 

In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the Current Assets have a value, on realization in the ordinary course of business, not less than the amounts at which they are stated in the Balance Sheet and the provisions for depreciation and for all known liabilities are adequate and not in excess of amounts reasonably necessary.
