The increase of loss is mainly for cost overrun for long time period for execution of projects, adverse exchange variance, the significant increase in steel prices, increase of fixed expenses in respect of high remuneration to employees to match with the current market trend and high cost of borrowings for project finance. In this state of condition, the parent company confirms that they will continue to provide full financial support during the next financial period. However, considering the unabsorbed business loss the Directors do not recommend any dividend for the year.

 

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

 

The Company turnover during the financial year comprised mainly of execution of Indian as well as Export jobs. The activity in respect of supply of spares for Indian jobs has also increase substantially. Although the Company could not achieve success in executing projects involving construction work, the Company booked three MRS Contracts and two Supply Contracts during the period. The Company has also successfully completed one Export Contract on time during the period, The Management has experienced that you are more efficient in handling Export Contracts wherein only design and supply are involved and better consequently margin is achieved. Therefore the Company is now focusing more on Export Contracts and also few Domestic Contracts which involves lesser or no construction work.

 

The Management of the Company has formed a Team called IPAT meaning “India Process Alignment Team” which consists of members from various departments of our Parent Company who are focusing mainly on process Alignment between our Parent Company and their Company.

 

The Management has decided to strengthen the process flow within the Company which will ultimately help us to monitor execution of Project Steps at each level thereby achieving the Company’s goals and objectives.

 

The industry is very competitive for newly entrant and the market is extremely price sensitive.

The company is maintaining the quality for the accredited ISO 9001-2000 for Design, project Management and Manufacture of Pneumatic and Hydraulic Conveying Systems for Ash and Other Abrasive Materials, Cement and Mill Reject.

 

During the year the turnover of the company has not improved compared to the previous period and it couldn’t achieve positive operating margin. Despite of their  best effort significant increase in input cost of material prices and fixed expenses, cost overrun of projects for prolong time of execution the  company was unable to generate sufficient operating profit to cover fixed expenses, interest depredation and it ended the year with negative net profit. The management of the company planned to close twelve projects and already seven projects have been closed after the period. The company has decided to take projects which are less risky and having good margin. The company is expecting a turnaround of this present situation and it is expected that after the period the company will earn to a margin to cover the fixed cost
