Focus efforts have been placed on expanding the end applications of company’s product line over the last several years which has helped in yield strong results this year, offering healthy sustainability for the years to come.

This diversification, in end application has also simultaneously diversified clients and end destinations for company’s products globally, de-risking our portfolio from any single customer, application or market.

The level of operations has been steadily increased over the last several year and has reached satisfactory level. This has helped in economies of scale and made company competitive on the global front.

Because of your company''s product quality standards, we have been able to maintain steady relationships with our long standing customers along with building relationships with several new customers.

The result of all the above factors has led to company’s best year to date, registering company’s highest ever turnover, and the highest ever Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs, 3,137 lakhs. (P.Y. Rs, 94 Lakhs) from normal operation registered in 3237 % growth.

As such the financial statements for the year ended as at March 31,2017 have been restated to conform to Ind AS.

The company has a very strong order book position and expect to maintain the same or higher growth trend. The cost control at every stage of operations with the increase level of operations resulted in product cost improvement.

This resulted in outstanding performance and best ever year, the EBIDTA from normal operation for 2017-18 was Rs, 3500 lakhs (PY EBIDTA of Rs,. 913 lakhs) which represents a growth of 283 %. Moreover, the profit for the last quarter of 2017-18 from normal operation was of Rs,2186 lakhs (Last quarter of PY profit of Rs, 125 lakhs).

Your company has attained turnover of Rs. 6,925 lacs (P.Y. Rs. 6,706 lacs).

All direct and indirect cost except finance cost are under stringent monitoring and control. All efforts are made to enhance efficiency by improving yield.

Beneficial effects of steps taken to improve yield, depreciating rupee against US dollar, better sales pricing and product mix were washed out by the effect of above adverse factors.

2. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Your company has attained turnover of Rs 6706 lacs (P.Y. Rs 5591 lacs) registering a commendable growth of about 20%. This has been in the wake of slowdown in the major economies and stiff price competition from China. Aggressive marketing strategy and stringent quality standard has been the backbone of the achievement.

Escalating prices of several inputs, hike in prices of fuel, span of irregularity in the availability of raw material and consequent interruption in production has an effect of increase in costs. The regime of high interest rate and liquidity tightness has increased finance cost burden.

During the later part of the year, depreciating rupee has marginally improved the realisation. All efforts are made to enhance productivity by improving consumption norm and processes. The costs at all level continue to remain under stringent monitoring and control, as' result of which all overheads but for finance cost has shown improvement as a percentage to turnover.

During the year company has EBIDT of Rs 861 lacs (P.Y. Rs 356 lacs). After providing of increased finance cost ofRs 664 lacs (P.Y. loss Rs 514 lacs) the company has achieved cash profit of Rs 197 lacs (P.Y. cash loss of Rs158 lacs). Based on favourable Supreme Court judgment, major tax demand will be quashed resulting in excess tax provision of f 246 lacs which is written back.

3. DIVIDEND

Your Directors, considering above, do not recommend any dividend (P.Y. Nil) for the year 2011-12.

4. OUTLOOK

Your company's major market like Europe, Japan and USA are slow but showing singns of recovery in the demand for the product of your company. The market remained highly price competitive. The costs are under stringent monitoring and control. The company has taken several initiatives for process upgradation, improvement in consumption norms, use of cheaper alternate raw material and fuel. All efforts are made to reduce and control the overheads. Finance cost continued to remain high due to high interest rate regime and liquidity crunch consequent to repayment of term loan installments and operational performance. Gradual product price increase, improved operating efficiency and stringent control of overheads are expected to improve the overall performance.

Export continues to constitute about 80% of the overall turn-over. Performance of your company hence mainly follows the Global economy trend. The order book position is healthy. Due to interruption in the smooth availability of raw materials consequent to the liquidity crunch, continuous production was hampered resulting in escalated production cost.

As a strategy, the company is focusing on improving utilisation of the existing capacities. The process for manufacture of sensitizer used in paper coating alongwith Colour Former has been developed in R&D of the company. Commercial production of the same is expected in the current year utilizing the existing capacity.

This will improve the utilisation of Nitrobenzene plant. Both these will contribute substantially to the top line of the company as well as improve the over all performance of the company.

The company continued to focus on cost control at every level to improve the operational efficiency which alongwith the increased operating level and upward revision of product prices is expected to improve the margin.The rate of flow of orders is encouraging. Production facilities are realigned to meet the demand. Your company barring unforeseen circumstances, expects to further improve the turn-over and performance.

5. FINANCE

Besides majority of working capital facility is availed in the form of PCFC which carries LIBOR related interest. Pending enhancement of working capital facilities by Bankers, the company had to resort to short term ICD borrowings which are unsecure but costlier. Your company has repaid during the year term loan installments of mere than Rs 700 lacs to the Banks consequently the Banks' term loan liability have substantially reduced.

The costs were under close monitoring and stringent control. The company has taken several initiatives like process improvement, lower consumption norms, use of cheaper alternate raw material and fuel. All efforts were made to reduce and control the overheads.
