LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY:

 

Subject is a manufacturer of fuses aluminium oxide grains. It is also produces Slide gate refractory and Grinding wheels. 

 
The company has three divisions viz, Abrasive grains division (at Porbandar, Gujarat); Bonded Abrasive division (at Alwar Dist., Rajasthan) and Refractories division(at Alwar Dist. Rajasthan and Salem, TN).  

 
The abrasive grains division manufactures calcined bauxite and aluminium oxide which are important raw materials for refractories used by the steel industry. The company has set up a Power plant at Porbandar with an installed capacity to produce 4.2 MW of power for the captive consumption by its abrasive grains division. This power plant was commissioned in August, 1998 and is now operating at full capacity. 

 
In the coming years Steel and Engineering industries are expected to perform well. Which consumes company's products as raw materials.

 

 

OPERATIONS REVIEW AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

Turnover of the Company increased to Rs.3956.800 Millions during the year from Rs.3437.000 Millions in the previous year. However, gross profit and net profit declined to Rs.594.300 Millions and Rs.468.400 Millions respectively during the year as compared to Rs.688.000 Millions and Rs.511.700 Millions respectively in the previous year. General increase in raw material costs was one of the reasons for decline in the profit. Besides, abnormal rise in fuel costs especially of furnace oil and coal reduced the margins. Increase in financial expenses on account of higher interest rates on borrowings and loss on account of foreign exchange and derivative contracts as against a gain of about Rs.34.600 Millions last year also contributed to the decrease in profits. The Company could not absorb the increased costs by a corresponding increase in sales price. The Company could also not achieve the expected revenue from the wind farms due to delay in commissioning of the turbines.

 

Exports grew from Rs.311.400 Millions to Rs.408.000 Millions during the year, by developing new customers and consolidating existing markets

 

Both the abrasive grains division and the refractory division performed satisfactory in terms of sales. The thermal power plants at Porbander division fulfilled a major share of the power requirements of the Abrasives Grains Division.

 

The operating cost of these power plants was higher due to a substantial rise in fuel costs.

 

The wind farm capacity of the Company increased to 9.6 mw during the year. Another turbine of 1.5 mw was commissioned in June 2011 thereby making the total capacity, 11.1 mw comprising of 6 mw located in Rajasthan and 5.1 mw in Karnataka.

 

The financial results of the Company in the first 4 months of the current year was satisfactory. The directors hope that the sales and profitability of the Company shall improve in the current year.

 

 

DEMERGER OF REFRACTORY BUSINESS

 

The Company decided to demerge its refractory undertaking situated at SP-148, RIICO Industrial Area, Bhiwadi, Rajasthan with a view to de-risk and segregate the refractory business from the other two businesses viz. abrasive grains and power generation as the economic and market factors guiding the refractory business are distinct from those applicable to the other two. The demerger will also allow a focused strategy in operations of the Refractory Undertaking along with providing scope for independent collaboration and expansion without committing the existing organization in its entirety. The demerger would also help in enhancing the stakeholder value with the two businesses growing independently of each other as the management can formulate separate business strategy for each considering the independent characteristics of each entity and without being affected by the constraints faced by each other.

 

A subsidiary Company named Orient Refractories Limited, was incorporated on November 26, 2010 for this purpose. The demerger process is at an advanced stage. The equity shareholders, secured creditors and unsecured creditors at their respective meetings held on February 26, 2011 approved the scheme of demerger. The final petition for demerger has been filed before the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi at New Delhi and the date of hearing on the demerger is fixed for September 19, 2011.

 

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Orient Abrasives Limited (‘The Company’) is engaged in the production and selling of Fused Aluminum Oxide Grains, Calcined Products, Refractories and Monolithics and Ceramic Paper and generation of power. The Company has manufacturing facilities at Porbandar (Gujarat) and Bhiwadi (Rajasthan) and Wind Power Generation facilities at Rajasthan and Karnataka and thermal Power Generation facilities at its works at Porbandar, Gujarat.

 

The Company decided to demerge its refractory undertaking situated at SP-148, RIICO Industrial Area, Bhiwadi, District Alwar, Rajasthan (hereinafter referred as ‘Refractory Undertaking’) at the board meeting held on December 8, 2010 and transfer the same to a subsidiary company named Orient Refractories Limited (‘ORL’) incorporated for this purpose. The scheme of demerger is under process before the Hon’ble High court of Delhi.

 

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
General Review
 

The Company was incorporated in the year 1971 in New Delhi.

 

The Company has three business divisions namely the Abrasives Grains Division (AGD) at Porbander, Gujarat that manufactures fused alumina grains and calcined products, the Refractory Division (RD) that manufactures refractories and monolithics and the Power division comprising of thermal power plants and wind turbine generators.

 

The Abrasives Grains Division, the first of Company’s all divisions, was established in the year 1974.

 

Thereafter the Company established the Bonded Abrasives Division in 1980 at Bhiwadi, Rajasthan, which was divested in the year 2006-07. The Refractory Division was set up in the year in 1985 at Bhiwadi, Rajasthan.

 

The Company also has a Power Division that generates electricity for captive consumption which was set up in 1998 and expanded in 2007 with the addition of a 9 MW coal based thermal power plant. In 2010, the Company ventured into green energy projects by setting up wind turbines. At present the total commissioned capacity of the wind farms is 11.1 mw. The power generated from the windmills is sold to the state electricity board with which there are power purchase agreements in place.

 

 
BUSINESS DIVISIONS/SEGMENTS
 

As mentioned above, the Company has three major business segments in terms of the nature of output

 

i) Fused Aluminium Oxide Grains including Calcined Products and

ii) Refractories and Monolithics and

iii) Electricity (Power Division), which have been elucidated in the following paragraphs :

 

 

Abrasives Grains Division
 

The Abrasives Grains Division at Porbander is the first manufacturing unit set up by the Company. The Division manufactures calcined bauxite and fused aluminium oxide abrasive grains. Raw bauxite and calcined alumina are the basic raw materials used for the manufacture of abrasive grains. Raw bauxite is procured from mines owned by the Company and others and calcined alumina is purchased from aluminium companies, hindalco Industriex Limited being prominent amongst them. A portion of these products is captively consumed by the Refractory Division at Bhiwadi and the rest is sold in the domestic market.

 
Refractory Division
 

The unit manufactures various types of continuous casting and slide gate refractories, low cement castables etc. which are exclusively consumed in the steel plants.

 

The Refractory Division exports a fair share of its output to various overseas customers. The major export customers are based in Egypt, Turkey, Indonesia, Italy, Pakistan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sultanate of Oman, Greece, Spain, Nigeria, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Bulgaria, Thailand, Iran, Germany, Italy etc.

 
 
Power Division

 

The Company has a total thermal power plant capacity of 18 MW out of which 9 MW is based on coal and 9 MW on furnace oil. The thermal power plant based on coal is more economical and is operated at full capacity. The electricity from this power division is meant for captive consumption by the manufacturing division at Porbander.

 

Besides, as mentioned elsewhere, the Company also has wind power generation capacity of 11.1 mw. The power generated by these plants are sold to the respective state power distribution companies.

 
 
 
FINANCIALS AND INTERNAL CONTROL

 

The gross turnover of the Company during the year ended March 31, 2011 increased to Rs.3956.800 Millions. Gross profit and net profit were Rs.594.300 Millions and Rs.468.400 Millions respectively. However the gross profit and the net profit declined due to abnormal increase under various heads of expenditure, like fuel costs, interest on loan, and general manufacturing and other overhead expenses. Foreign exchange fluctuation loss and loss on derivative contracts.

 

The Company has an adequate internal control system which is commensurate with its size and which adopts the best practices prevalent in the industry. Besides conducting internal audit at regular intervals and implementing the measures suggested from time to time there is a statutory audit committee comprising of independent directors in place to oversee the internal control processes in the Company. The Company has also received ISO 9001: 2000 certification for the plant at Bhiwadi.

 

The enterprise resource planning system (ERP) implemented in January, 2008 at Bhiwadi to integrate the operations of various divisions of the Company in a phased manner is operational and is yielding the desired results.

 

 

CONCERNS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK     
 

The sales of both the abrasives grains and refractories is increasing steadily. The demand for these products both on the domestic front and overseas is robust. The company has adequate production capacity and technology to meet the increased demand while maintaining the quality.

 

The abrasive grains division is a power intensive unit and at present it depends on the State supplier and captive thermal power plant to fulfill its energy needs. The in house power plant was set up to economies on the cost of electricity and to avail uninterrupted supply. However since the cost of generation has increased over the years due to steep rise in fuel costs, the capacity availed from the State Electricity Board is being reviewed as an alternative. There was an increase in demand of royalty by the Gujarat Government for the low grade bauxite mined and exported by the Company in the previous years, which is being contested at higher levels by all the affected parties including the Company. The availability of abrasive grade bauxite is a matter of concern. The reserves in our mines are depleting. The Company is making efforts to get more mining leases. Efforts are also underway for importing the raw material.

 

Except for the above concerns, the future of these manufacturing divisions looks encouraging. The crisis in Europe and other global markets has subsided and the export turnover is expected to grow substantially. The wind turbines have started generation on full scale which will increase the sales and profits in the coming years.
