OPERATIONS
The Company clocked a Gross Turnover of Rs. 4639.100 Million on standalone basis, for the financial year ended on 30th September, 2013 as compared to turnover of Rs. 9323.600 Million achieved in the previous year, showing a declining trend. Net Loss incurred during the period under review remained at Rs. 3624.600 Million compared to net profit of Rs. 242.000 Million in the previous year ended on 30th June, 2012.
Whereas Gross Turnover, clocked on consolidated basis, for the financial year ended on 30th September 2013
remained at Rs. 5972.600 Million compared to Rs. 1,0820.800 Million achieved in the previous year. The bottom-line for the year ended on 30th September, 2013 stood at Rs. 37295.000 mILLION against the consolidated profit of Rs. 367.000 Million in the previous year ended 30th June, 2012.
Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing and exporting fibre reinforced composite products for major industrial sectors such as aerospace, defence, chemical processing etc. However, like most Indian companies, in recent months, due to global slowdown, overseas customers have cut down their requirements and deferred future plans, resulting in decrease in demand for the products. Due to this sudden and unprecedented setback in business, the Company is facing severe cash flow crisis. In spite of all these constraints, Company is taking effective steps to keep the Company in motion.
Moreover, Company’s all grade of aerospace grade carbon fiber is certified by Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification (“CEMILAC”) for aeronautical application for use by important organizations of Government of India such as Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (“HAL”), Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (“VSSC”), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (“BARC”), Indian Space Research Organization (“ISRO”), Defense Research and Development Organization (“DRDO”),
In the meantime, the Company is working with various advisors to identify investors to infuse money into the Company and/or provide strategic realignment of Company’s structure, and thus to consolidate the Company’s endeavors.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS
Overview and Outlook
The business sentiments remained subdued, depressed and under pressure largely on account of inflation, shortage of power, weak rupee, weakness in domestic and global industrial activities, high interest rates and low level of capital investments on account of fall in demand. The GDP growth remained at 4.8% in the month of September, 2013. However, in view of the recent union budget, the GDP is likely to improve slightly or remain around the present level. The population growth, new infrastructure projects, urbanization, increase in middle class population and the green movement will drive composites growth to new horizons in emerging economies.
Business Review:
Composites
This is the Company’s flagship business which accounts considerably of the Company’s topline. The company has developed the product in such a high caliber that it has expanded its reach to new consumers. This product has expressed remarkable performance hitherto, in spite of competitive foreign markets. Although the Company enjoys healthy order book position, several other factors have hampered its growth at present. However, the Company has endeavored its best to strengthen its products in the overseas market and its acceptance is wide-spread.
Further, the Company has focused on development of high value added composite products to avail advantage of improving profit margins.
Wind Energy
Imaging the world without the electricity is not at all possible, as it plays an important role in people’s lives. Wind energy is specie of the renewable energy which can be replenished in a short period of time. Wind power is leader in the renewable energy sector and growth rate of wind energy is increasing rapidly in the domestic and international markets. Kemrock has unique advantage of in-house availability of major raw material, resin and glass fabric for manufacture of wind turbine blade. Kemrock is the preferred supplier of wind turbine blade foralmost all the major wind energy customers.
