PERFORMANCE AND REVIEW
As the un-stability of global market has badly hit the oil industry
across the nation and your company is also one of the victims of said
un-stabi!ity. Due to adverse local market conditions and volatility in
global market, the year under review was of poor performance for the
Company as the turnover of company declined to Rs.99.12 Crores as
compared to Rs 131 30 Crores in the last year and the losses mount up
to Rs 14.92 crores during the year as compared to Rs.4 .19 crores
during the last year.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Your Directors are exploring avenues to over come the present situation
and are instrumental in arranging some sort of amalgamation, joint
venture or collaboration to bring the company on track. One of the
biggest problems for the oil refinery unit like us is lesser ability to
compete with the units operating at the port areas where due to no or
lesser transportation cost, the total cost of refining is the lower and
these units enjoy an edge in refining at low gost and selling the
material at more competitive rates. However, after some arrangement and
with the operational of plant at full capacity, your company would
certainly be able to get rid of this situation.
The company had recently added the capacities of refining and now it is
having total capacities Of 750 MT per day, but it is short of funds and
working capital. Once these capacities will be fully utilized the
economies of scale will happen which will put the company at par with
other competing units Besides, if your company is able to bring the
material through Railway in one go then it wouldbe having an edge over
the port based units.
DIVIDEND
Keeping in view the present constraints, Your Directors express their
inability to recommend any dividend for the year under review.
