DIRECTORS' REPORT

To,

The Members

REMI EDELSTAHL TUBULARS LIMITED

Your Directors have immense pleasure in presenting the 44th Annual Report and Audited Statements of Accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2015.

OPERATIONS :

The Company has achieved turnover of Rs.185.29 crores during the current financial year as against Rs.133.79 crores during the previous year. The Company has achieved EBIDTA of Rs.10.66 crores during the year as against Rs.7.93 crores during the previous year. However, net loss during the year has increased to Rs.1.70 crores from Rs.1.04 crores mainly due to increase in depreciation, due to adoption of new depreciation policy as per newly inserted Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 and increase in finance cost.

The last year was very challenging for the Company in view of the slowdown in Indian economy in general and negative growth in the capital goods industry in particular. For last two years various powers and other green field projects are either on hold or stuck due to various factors i.e; environmental clearance, financial closure etc. and consequently as Key Component/ Material Suppliers Original equipment manufacturers (OEM'S), like our company, are saddled with inventory and low business prospects.

The Company is hopeful that fresh capital investment in the power, refining and petro chemical sector will revive as the new government at Center is taking steps in that direction. Your Company is well positioned as efforts made into product development over the past few years have made your company one of the few manufacturers in the country that are capable of producing tubes for the power generation industry.
