OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company recorded turnover of Rs.740.040 millions in comparison to the turnover of Rs.697.746 in the previous year. During the year, there was an unprecedented increase in the prices of imported raw materials, which has adversely impacted the performance of the Company. In addition, increased cost of power and fuel along with increased employee cost due to settlement of long pending union agreement, also affected performance.

 

During the year performance of Wind Mill Farm was also affected due to heavy rain fall in Maharasahtra and Gujarat which resulted in lower generation of power to 21,38,271 units as compare to 24,35,593 units during the previous year. However income from Wind Mill Farm has marginally increased to Rs.10.757 millions as against Rs.9.816 millions for the previous year due to increase in power tariff

 

The Gross Profit before Tax and Depreciation is reduced to Rs.40.833 millions from Rs.59.456 millions in the previous year. After providing Rs.7.035 millions for current and deferred taxes, The Company has earned profit of Rs.13.790 millions as against Rs.25.933 millions for previous year.

 

The Directors take this opportunity to assure that all efforts will be made by the management to sustain growth and margins while consolidating retained earnings.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENT

 

Chemical Division

 

The Company enjoys the status of being one of the largest manufacturers of quality boron products. With its strong technical background, coupled with established marketing network and customer friendly approach, The Company continues to be a market leader.

 

The Company’s Quality management system has been certified by Bureau of Vertias Quality International (BVQI) for ISO 9001:2008 for manufacture of boron and specialty boron products.

 

It is gratifying to note that the growth trend particularly that of the speciality boron chemicals manufactured by the Company continues. The said growth has been broad based both in terms of product range and market territories.

 

In the context of the said emerging momentum and Company’s growth plans, necessary capacity expansion is being undertaken by the Company at Dahej in the State of Gujarat.

 

The Company’s R and D division continuously strives to devise various measures to develop new specaility products and has successfully developed a Potassium Tetraborate containing B 14% and K 25%. Since, this product is highly water soluble, Company has taken extensive trials on the Agricultural fields and have found this product as foliar feed to supplement boron content in the soil. The Company has already started selling this product for Citrus fruits and Orchids in the State of Punjab. There is good market potential for this product in the domestic as well as international market in future.

 

Encouraged by the better yield consequent upon application of boron as a micronutrient in agriculture and to educate farmers by demonstrations regarding the benefits of use of Boron in agriculture, the Company has planted additional trees at Ratnagiri Farm. Company expects increase in sale of Boron for use in Agriculture.

 

Wind Mill Farm

 

The Company has set up Wind Farms, one in the State of Maharashtra, at Satara consisting of 5 Nos. wind turbine generators having capacity of 1.25 MW and another 0.60 MW Capacity wind turbine generator at Kutch in the State of Gujarat.

 

Units of electricity generated by the wind mill farm at Satara are being used to meet part of the electricity requirement for chemical division at Ambarnath in Maharashtra State. Units of electricity generated at the Wind Farm at Kutch are being sold to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited under the power purchase agreement entered by Company with them.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Company enjoys the status of providing quality products at reasonable prices. The quality of their products is the best available in the market and Company expects improvement in the demand for the Company’s products including products for Agriculture Sector.

 

CREDIT RATING

 

CRISIL has assigned “BBB/Stable/P3+” rating to bank facilities of the Company. The ratings reflect Company’s diversified product profile, improving operating profitability in the boron chemical business and moderate financial risk profile marked by average debt protection measures and adequate financial flexibility, though constrained by a small size of net worth. These rating strengths are partially offset by the commoditized nature of the product with stiff competition from imports.

 

DAHEJ PROJECT

 

As the Shareholders are aware, Their Company has acquired land admeasuring 90,103 sq.m. at Dahej, District Bharuch in the State of Gujarat for manufacturing boron based chemicals with expanded capacity since space available at Ambarnath is not adequate for expansion. Necessary approvals for setting up the project such as environmental and pollution control approvals have been obtained from respective authorities. Civil construction activities at site have been started.

 

Company has planned to set up manufacturing activity in a phased manner, the first phase of production activity is expected to commence in the first quarter of financial year 2012-2013.
