REVIEW OF RESULTS - 2017-18
Detailed overview of the company's operations during the year under review and a discussion on the future outlook has been covered in the "Management discussion and analysis" attached as Annexure - I to this report.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Your company is primarily engaged in Designing, Manufacturing, & Commissioning Customized / Critical Equipments/Systems for critical equipments across a wide range of various industries.
A. Process Equipments (PE) : The Company started with an opening order book of Rs.69 Cr. The Company's order booking is mainly dependent on replacement, demand and capacity increase plans of user industries. Since the product caters to diverse industrial sectors, the demand is never consistent over the years. During the second half year, most of the user industries deferred their CAPEX Plans resulting in a delay in receipt of orders from customers both domestic and international.
PE Developments till 31.03.2018: The Company Received Rs.34 Cr. orders during the 2nd half year out of which Rs.19 Cr. were received in February / March 2018. The delayed receipt of orders left no scope for achieving significant progress in execution of the order under Percentage Completion Method of Accounting. This resulted in a substantial drop in the top line in the 3rd & 4th quarter and the unexecuted orders at the end of the year.
B. i) Food Processing Equipments: Your Company which operates mainly in Tea industry started with an order book of Rs.4 Cr. as at 01.04.2017. The progress of orders was slow due to draught and stagnation in the tea industry but resurgence of the domestic tea industry from second quarter of financial the year resulted in making up the order book. As on 31.03.2018 the unexecuted orders in hand was Rs.18 Cr.
ii) Continuous Withering System (CWS) :
As you are aware your Company developed and commissioned a Continuous Withering System (CWS) in one of the group companies last year. During the year under review the Company received an order for CWS from an overseas group company. The order received during 2016-17 was successfully commissioned during the year under review. The projects involve redesign of certain key equipments in our existing system (due to difference in the quality of the Tea caused by climatic conditions abroad). Your Company successfully completed supply / erection and commissioning of this system during 2017-18.
Successful working of our CWS in the African region will give definite marketing advantage to your Company. Further orders for our dryers along with CWS are expected during the year from Africa. It is to be stated that your Company has been able to give better quality and cost effective solution for withering and drying of Tea in the African market.
Your Company is also taking necessary steps to re-establish itself in Coconut Dryer Segment both in India and abroad. The results are encouraging.
