OPERATING PERFORMANCE
During the financial year under review, balancing adjustments
concerning automated production were made and production on Trial Run
basis was started. Out of 1,57,634 Product Materials, only 24,244
materials could be sold in the market at much below the production
cost. This demonstrated that manufacturing of IV Fluids on commercial
basis was no longer viable and was leading to increase in losses.
RENOVATION OF MACHINES
The only producing machine -Bottel Pack 360, imported from Rommelag
Ag., Germany in 1996 has been "Metal Fatigued" and stops frequently
warranting heavy maintenance. Spares are not readily available and it
takes 45 to 60 days time to get delivered from their country of origin.
PRODUCTION PLAN
After renovation of the machine, the Management took steps of either
own manufacturing on commercial basis or contract manufacturing. Since
own manufacturing and selling was not found viable, attempts were taken
to establish relationship with some interested parties like, Fresenius,
Baxter, B Brawn and others on contract Manufacturing. All negotiations
failed because of non-matching of price together with firm commitments
required for minimum quantity of production. Hence, there was no other
alternative but to take a decision to sell the Intra-venous Fluid
manufacturing machines.
SALE OF ASSETS
The Company being a loss making unit needs restructuring of its
business. The Company has also huge amount of unsecured loan in its
books.
Since the Board is contemplating new lines of business, it at its
meeting held on 15th January, 2010, decided, subject to your approval,
to sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of the IV Fluid
manufacturing machineries and other assets of the Company either in
whole or in part. In the said meeting, the Board also decided to obtain
your consent / approval under Section 293(1 )(a) of the Companies Act,
1956 by way of Special resolution, empowering the Board of Directors of
the Company for sale, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of the whole
or substantially the whole or part of the Companys assets more
specifically situated at the Companys factory at Karbala, Sonarpur
Station Road, Kolkata- 700 103. Accordingly, consent / approval of the
shareholders has been taken through postal ballot under Section 293(1
)(a) read with Section 192A of the Companies Act, 1956 and the
Companies (Passing of the Resolutions by Postal Ballot) Rules, 2001.
Consequent to the consent / approval received from the shareholders on
17th March, 2010, the Board initiated sale of IV Fluid manufacturing
machineries. The fund thus received have, amongst others, been used to
pay off part of its unsecured loan.
FUTURE PLANS
In view of decision of bringing new lines of business, a number of
alternatives are under consideration. It includes setting up hospitals,
Medical Care Unit, health projects, Eye Care Unit, Cancer Research Unit
& Hospital, etc. In addition, the Board was also interested to apply
for suitable change in the Object Clause of the Memorandum of
Association for any other profitable venture and if necessary any other
decision to relieve the Company from its huge liabilities.
