INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:
Fortune of your Company which is in refractory industry is directly
linked to the performance of Steel Industry as it is the largest
consumer of refractory products. The other consumers of refractory
products are Cement, Copper, Glass, Aluminum and Petro-chemical
industries etc. which are witnessing reasonable growth, All these
factors will have a very positive impact on the growth of refractory
industry in near future.
Nitachal Refractoriness Ltd. (NRL) is having its manufacturing unit in
the State of Odisha near Dhenkanal. The Plant is strategically located
and the Company hopes to take advantage of the boom in Steel and
Aluminum industry in the region in times to come.
OPPORTUNITY, THREATS, RISKS AND CONCERNS:
Consequent upon technology advancement in steel making processes, major
opportunity, lies in manufacturing of con- tenuous casting
refractoriness, special monolithic viz. Constables, Plastic based
ramming mass and gunning materials, etc. The Company is having its
vision in line to this technology change..
Demand for refractoriness has increased substantially due to increased
steel and Aluminum production in India. The future of the Company is
bright with huge steel and aluminum manufacturing capacities being
created in India espe- cially in Odisha and Jharkhand.
Competition in refractory industry is building up. Lot of consolidation
and re-organization is taking place in refractory industry. Input costs
mainly the increase in cost of raw materials is also a cause of concern
for refractory industry. Cost reduction measures will play an
important role in keeping the unit viable in the face of stiff
competition. Your Company has taken several cost reduction measures for
improving operations to bring down the cost of production and is
hopeful to successfully meet the challenges of competition.
Further during the year under review there have been continuous labour
unrest and which took its toll on company's financial position and this
is one of serious concerns of the company as on date for which remedial
actions are already in place. The Company shall commence its production
afresh and will be back at is dominant position. The Company at present
is at consolidation stage post all these problems.
The turnover from refractoriness items is Rs. 84.80 lacs during the
year under review.
OUTLOOK:
Production in steel industry has increased and the demand for
refractory products is also increasing. NRL will not be able to survive
by basing its products mix on low-end products. For a sustained growth,
NRL will have to go for high value products for which your Company has
started taking initiatives.
There are many small and large Steel and Aluminum Plants coming up
around Dhenkanal and Odisha State on the whole which will demand
high-end products. With this we estimate a large requirement of quality
products with high value which should boost our total turnover as well
as bottom line. In order to face this challenge, your Company emphasis
on Human Resource Management and Human Resource Development which will
ensure a capable and mo- tivated team in place post settlement of all
these labour issues. The Company is going to start afresh and shall
have a new horizon.
INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND THEIR ADEQUACY:
Information, reports, records, documents, transaction statements etc,
are generated continuously in the organization and the inputs contained
therein serve as a strong foundation for accelerated decision making.
Great authenticity is lent to such inputs which represents the
foundation for effective decisions. The Company has established proper
internal control systems and procedures, which are compatible with size
of its operation and business. The firm of Chartered Accountant is
conducting internal audit of operations to ensure that the system are
adhered to and controls are not flouted. Internal Audit Reports
encompasses all aspects of operations, accounts, purchase, stores,
production and marketing; all omission and deviation, if any are
properly recorded for remedial action. Cost Auditor is separately
appointed to audit Cost Accounts, the reports of Internal Auditors and
Cost Audit Report monitors effectiveness and operational efficiency of
internal control systems. The Audit Committee periodically provides
valuable suggestions to improve the business processes, systems and
internal controls and briefs the Board of Directors about areas of
concern.
