LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

REVIEW OF OPERATING PERFORMANCE

 

Operation and Sales:

 

During the year, the company produced 11968.26 tones of copper and copper alloys products as against 12087.15 tones during the previous year mainly due to paucity of working capital.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company earned a total income of Rs.3856.400 millions, an increase of 14.78% over previous year's Rs.3359.800 millions mainly due to increase in prices of raw material compared with previous year.

 

The company is still in red on account of lower capacity utilization resulting out of:-

 

i) Substantial erosion of working capital in FY 2008-09;

 

ii) non-availability of additional security as existing assets have been charged/ mortgaged to the long term lenders, thereby limiting the ability of the company to raise long term working capital resources;

 

iii) inability of the promoters to raise or bring in additional margin money towards fresh working capital;

 

iv) continuous increase in prices of raw material and

 

v) unabsorbed fixed cost like interest on term loan and irregular portion of working capital.

 

Finance

 

During the current year the company has

 

a) raised equity capital of the company by way of issue of equity shares of Rs.10/- each for cash at par aggregating Rs.100.000 millions.

 

b) converted 2850000 optionally cumulative convertible preference shares of Rs.100/- each into 28500000 equity shares of Rs.10 each aggregating Rs.285.000 millions.

 

c) converted secured loan of Rs.60.000 millions of India Debit Management Private Limited along with corresponding premium of Rs.10.800 millions into 7080000 equity shares of Rs.10 each to them aggregating to Rs.70.800 millions.

 

d) cancelled 1200000 Zero Coupon Bonds of Rs.100/- issued to ARCIL for a value of Rs.120.000 millions and issued 12000000 equity shares of Rs.10 each to ARCIL aggregating to Rs.120.000 millions.

 

e) redeemed 4521000 preference shares of Rs.100/- each issued to IFCI Limited and issued 19129578 equity shares of Rs.10 each to them aggregating to Rs.191.200 millions.

 

One of the working capital banker converted part of the working capital limit i.e. Rs.429.200 millions into working capital term loan repayable equally over a period of 10 years.

 

All these steps augur well to consolidate the financial strength of the company in the time to come. The company has been taking adequate steps to raise need based working capital from banks as well as outside sources. Continued loss has deprived the company to raise working capital from existing bankers.

 

Since the net worth of the company is eroded by more than 50% but less than 100%, as part of the compliance, it has made reference under section 23 of the SICA Act during the current year. Appropriate steps are being taken to restructure the finances and business of the company that include among other the following steps:-

 

a) Large focus on well established industrial markets like USA and Europe;

b) Increase in value addition in the export market;

c) Focus towards untapped conversion business;

d) Option to change the status of unit from 100% EOU to domestic tariff area unit;

e) Expand the product suit by producing high value added products like cups and disc;

f) Bring down the debt of the company at sustainable level by offering negotiated settlement proposal;

g) Convert irregular portion of the working capital into working capital terms loans repayable over a longer period to match the redemption with the cash flow;

h) Reduction in rate of interest and bank charges by the existing lenders/ banks;

i) Raise margin money towards working capital;

j) Reduce working capital cycle to the extent possible by reducing the credit period and

k) reduction in manufacturing cost wherever possible

 

PROJECT - ON GOING AND BALANCING EQUIPMENT

 

During the financial year 2009-10, the company took steps towards completion of expansion project, contemplated earlier, to manufacture cups and disc at a total cost of Rs.42.700 millions. The project is now scheduled to be completed by the end of the current fiscal year and commence trial run soon thereafter.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

 

The company has formed a subsidiary company namely Capital Market Products in the USA to act as service/slitting centre. This step has been initiated with long term business prospects in mind and mark an entry into the large industrialized market for marketing of the company's products.
