STATE OF THE COMPANY’S AFFAIRS

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

During the year under review, your Company''s revenue has fallen down to Rs, 142.41 Crores (17% approx) over last year. Including other income, total revenue has fallen down by 15% approx. from Rs,172.17 Crores in 2014-2015 to Rs, 145.33 Crores in 2015-2016. Such shortfall arises mainly due to non-lifting of the Company''s finished products by various customers.

This year your Company has earned a Profit Before Tax of Rs, 270 Lacs as against Rs, 125 Lacs of last year. Exceptional income, namely, profit on sale of land (Rs,150 lacs), profit on sale of other fixed assets (Rs, 19 lacs) and profit on sale of investment in wholly-owned Subsidiary (Rs, 68 lacs), amounted to Rs, 237 lacs this year.

Your Company''s focus on better Working Capital Management (WCM) has borne fruit, which has reduced inventory by 21% approx. compared to last year and as a part of such WCM, the Company is making all out efforts to realize debtors as fast as possible and has been able to reduce its Debtors from Rs, 92.96 Crores to Rs, 56.79 Crores (reduction of 39% approx.) over last year. Your Company has seen a

Directors’ Report

massive reduction in its Creditors from Rs, 78 Crores to Rs, 30 Crores, which is a reduction of 61% approx. over last year. The Unsecured Loans of your Company have been reduced from '' 17.65 Crores of last year to Rs, 5.37 Crores of this year. A reduction of 70% approx. Total Borrowings of your Company has come down from Rs, 45.06 Crores to Rs, 29.65 Crores over last year. A reduction of 34%. Its total outside liability (TOL) has come down from Rs, 127.31 Crores last year to Rs, 61.80 Crores this year, a reduction of almost 51% in course of one year, which is unprecedented in your CompanyRs,s history.

LISTING

Equity Shares of your Company were listed with the Stock Exchanges at Kolkata and Mumbai. The Board of Directors in its Meeting held on January 22, 2015 decided to voluntarily delist the Equity Shares from The Calcutta Stock Exchange Limited (CSE) on account of the following reasons:

1. There is absolutely no trading of the Equity Shares of your Company at CSE in the past so many years , including last Financial Year, and therefore, continuation of listing with this Exchange does not provide any significant advantage to the Shareholders of the Company or investors at large. Moreover, Shareholders suggested delisting from CSE in a number of Annual General Meetings of the Company held in the past.

2. The Voluntary Delisting will reduce the paper work and related cost, as compliance with Listing Agreement with CSE will no longer be required.

With the extensive network of the Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) and with the extensive network of BSE terminals to other cities as well, investors will continue to have access to online dealings in the Company's securities across the country. Furthermore, all the tradings in the Company's Equity Shares takes place on the BSE and the listing with CSE does not serve the desired purpose and it only adds additional cost to the Company in the form of Listing Fees and other compliance cost.

Finally, CSE have allowed delisting of your Company's Equity Shares on March 13, 2015.

The Equity Shares of your Company, however, continue to be listed on BSE.

Registered Office : For and on behalf of the Board of Directors 56, Netaji Subhas Road Kolkata - 700001 S. S. JAIN Dated : 14th August, 2015 Chairman


Mar 31, 2014

Dear Members,

The Board commends the Special Resolution set out at Item No 11 of the Notice for approval by the Shareholders.

Dear Shareholders,

Your Directors have the pleasure in presenting their 66th Annual Report on the business and operations of your Company and the audited Financial Statements of your Company for the year ended March 31, 2014 :

FINANCIAL RESULTS ( Rs In Lacs) 2013-2014 2012-2013

Total Income 14290.19 10292.89

Total Expenditure 14275.49 10600.52

Profit /(Loss) Before Tax 14.70 (307.63)

Less :

Current Tax 2.80 -

Deferred Tax 0.09 2.89 (97.93) (97.93)

Profit /(Loss) After Tax 11.81 (209.70)

Add : Profit Brought Forward 924.68 1134.38

Balance Carried to Reserves & Surplus 936.49 924.68

DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors has not recommended payment of any Dividend for the Financial Year 2013- 2014 in view of a very small amount of Profit and also considering overall future business prospect of the Company.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

The total Revenue from Operations of your Company showed a significant improvement during the year. The total Revenue from Operations during the year was Rs. 142.90 Crores compared to Rs. 102.93 Crores during the previous year. This is an improvement by about 39% amidst keen competition. Sale of Transformers and Cables & Conductors increased by almost 29% and 100 % respectively over that of last year.

This year your Company has made a marginal Profit Before Tax of Rs. 14.70 Lakhs as against a Loss of Rs. 3.07 Crores in last year inspite of continuous abnormal price hike of the major raw materials and cut throat competition resulting in lower selling prices. Your company, thus, has achieved better results this year despite all odds and adverse economic scenario.

However, the profitability achieved is disproportionately low considering the substantial increase in Revenue from Operations because of factors like lower selling prices, so also the margins and abnormal delay in payments by the Company''s Customers resulting in increase in Debtors from Rs. 67 crores in last year to Rs. 87 Crores approximately this year ( an increase by about Rs. 20 crores) .

Your Company could have saved the Interest Expenses on Bank Borrowings of an equivalent amount of Rs. 20 Crores as said above had the Company''s Customers paid such amount in time. By this, the Profit of your Company would have increased by Rs. 2.60 crores, by saving alone the Bank Interest expenses on such overdue amount of Rs. 20 crores .

Your company''s entire manufacturing and repairing activities in Eastern India are being carried out in Dhulagori Factory and further expansion is going on there on a continuous basis.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Your Company has been continuously exploring the possibility to develop Export market .Its continued effort in this regard was fruitful last year when it achieved an Export turnover of Rs. 39 Lakhs to start with . This year your Company has made an Export Sales of about Rs. 177 Lakhs , an increase of more than 350% over last year. Your Company expects further increase in Export Sales in coming years.

However, mushroom growth and unhealthy competition from various Transformer manufacturing Units in unorganized Sector is posing problems to organized Sector,like your Company, resulting in under utilization of production capacities and therefore, the selling prices are under pressure , so as the margins.

Your Company expects that sale of transformers to EPC/ Turnkey Contractors may increase this year and there may be a slight improvement in payment position by Customer in the current year over last year.

ENERGY CONSERVATION,TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION & FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUTGO

Monitoring and control of consumption of sources of energy like power, oil, etc. continued to be a priority area of your Company. Energy conservation procedures also form an important part of your Company''s operational practices.

Your Company has achieved increased Export business and Foreign Exchange earnings (FOB) during this year was Rs. 177.15 Lacs (increase of more than 350% over last year) . The Foreign Exchange outgo during this year was as follows:

1. Value of Imports calculated on CIF basis -

Raw Materials Rs. 46.31 Lacs

Foreign Travelling Rs. 6.60 Lacs

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Your Company has achieved this year a gross sales of Rs. 101.43 Crores as compared to Rs. 123.36 Crores in the previous year amidst stiff competition. Deferment in taking deliveries and delay in inspection on the part of the customers and Electricity companies in particular has resulted in such lower turnover. As a result, the Profit Before Tax of Rs. 2.26 Crores in this year is less than that of Rs. 3.11 Crores in the last year. Although sale of Transformers and accessories (8151 Nos.) are higher this year compared to that of the last year(6692 Nos.), but in view of cut -throat competition resulting in lower selling prices so also the margins, your Company could perform as above despite all odds .

The Cable and Conductor Unit is looking up and your Company is penetrating into new customer base with the target to achieve higher sales in this segment. Your Company is increasing its capacity for manufacture of Dry Type Transformers at its newly built-up Dhulagori Factory. Further expansion of Dhulagori Factory is under process and during the year under review Rs 19.16 lacs has been spent for acquisition of further Assets and Rs 65.12 lacs has been spent for expansion of Building there. The source of finance for such expenditure is partly from internal accruals and partly by way of borrowings.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The Ministry of Power has set a goal of providing power to the entire country by 2012. It aims to provide reliable and quality power for Indias entire population at an optimum cost. To achieve this, the Ministry has formulated numerous strategies, such as the power generation strategy, the transmission and distri- bution strategy and the regulation strategy. The 11th Five Year Plan has set a goal to electrify 115000 villages and 23.4 million households. In order to meet its aim of providing electricity to everyone by 2012, an estimated investment of $150 billion will be required to meet the electricity installed capacity expansion plans as well as to build a robust transmission and distribution network.

Your Company with technical expertise and various manufacturing set-ups will be in a position to take share of such future growth and prosperity in Power Sector in our country.

According to ITMA (Indian Transformer Manufacturers Association), the Ministry of Power has revised generation capacity addition from 78,000 MW to 90,000 MW in the 11th Plan period entailing 1,50,000 MVA transformation capacity per year requiring supply of Transformers & its Accessories, Laminations & Stampings, Switchgear & Control Gears, Insulating materials, Insulators, Winding Wires, Conductors & Accessories, Instruments, measuring, Indicating & Testing Equipments, Cables & Accessories, Capacitors, Transmission Line Towers, Switch-Yard & Substation Equipments and Software Services to the Power Sector.

IEEMA (Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers Association) says the Transformer Industry in India has been in the forefront for over 50 years and has a well matured technology base upto 800KV class. Keeping pace with the developments the world over, it has attained the status of world class over the period.

In the global market, performance of the Indian product is acknowledged as technically at par with the leading international companies. Looking at the present state of Transformer Industry in India, it can be seen that implementation of Accelerated Power Development Reform Programme (APDRP) and introduction of Accelerated Rural Electrification Programme (AREP) are contributory to the increased business potential for the Industry.

All these should translate a growing demand for Power and Distribution Transformers, Cables and Conductors in the market which your Company has been serving.
