“ANNEXURE-D”MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In 2015, India achieved the distinction of being the third largest steel producer globally. Demand during April to Novemberrose by 5.3% and production grew by 2.4% during the same period, still the industry is going through a slowdownglobally and experts from the steel sector are saying that industry might remain tense next year as well.

The over $100 billion Indian steel industry is placing bets on rising domestic demand in the new year as it tries to counterpredatory pricing and import glut that haunted the sector in 2015. Amidst subdued demand and the spectre of Chinaflooding global markets with cheaper products, analysts predict tough 2016 for the industry worldwide but expect Indiato remain more profitable than its Asian peers helped by higher domestic economic growth and rising demand.

The outlook for the global stainless steel market is disappointing, as purchasing activity remains weak and transactionvalues continue to slide. The downward price trend encourages buyers to delay placing orders, in the belief they mayget a better deal if they wait. This adds to the usual, seasonal pattern, whereby stockists and end-users reduce theirpurchase volumes, in order to minimise their year-end inventories. Market participants have, for some time, been,cautiously, predicting some improvement in business conditions during 2016. However, as yet, there have been fewindications of any impending pickup in the fortunes of stainless steel consuming industries. India's largest stainless Steelproducer Jindal Stainless Hisar Ltd (JSHL) said investments in 2015 were muted and no major green field projects wereannounced. Most of them were in the brown field expansion category.

COMPANY OVERVIEWWe are into the business of manufacturing cold rolled stainless steel coils/strips for more than 20 years. Since inception,we have made efforts to place ourselves in a competitive position in the industry by proactively responding to ourcustomer requirements and continue to remain as one of the leading manufacturers of cold rolled stainless steel coils/strips in India and caters to both the markets domestic as well as International. At present the Company has customersfrom Tube industry, Kitchenware industry, Pumps industry, engineering products industry.

We want to leverage our strength in order to benefit ourselves in future so as to become the top most player in thecold rolled stainless steel coils/strips industry. The Company has enjoyed leading position in industry for several years, butglobal slowdown did not spare us either. Company incurred losses due to over dumping of chinese material in India,which affected the sales and profits of the company. But with good capacity and strength to provide quantity andquality material your company contracted with Jindal Stainless Hisar Ltd for processing their material on Job basis so as toutilise the ideal capacity lying with the company and to reduce its overall cost and reduce its losses further. We wish tomaintain to supply our products to corporate houses, increase our market share in the industry, produce quality productsat the competitive rates, adopt one of the best human resource practices and also secure various certifications forstandards and quality improvement. We are making all efforts to streamline the utilisation of manufacturing capacity andcome sustain the slowdown period so that when the time comes the company can get back on track with ease.

PRODUCTION PERFORMANCEThe company deals in a single product, i.e. cold rolled stainless steel coils/strips. The production of the company in2015-2016 is 21015 MT.

SWOT ANALYSISSTRENGTH & WEAKNESS

• The main competitive strength is high quality products, product innovation and technological development, efficiency,and skilled manpower.

• The challenges are linked to the cost and availability of inputs i.e raw materials, energy etc., and competition fromchinese producers.

• The business mood is cautious yet quite buoyant. But there is a lot of hard work required since the going is tough.

OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS

• Acceptance of the Company products in quality-conscious markets.

• Government imposing safe-guard to save local industry.

• Sharp increase in electricity and other fuel costs.

• High cost of existing working capital finance.

• Weak price trends, coupled with slower demand growth.

RISKS AND CONCERNSThe Company is exposed to normal Industry risk factors like demand, supply constraints, Governmental policies etc. Tooptimize capacity utilization cost-effectively, the Company has been trying to address working capital concerns. Also,with increasing Government concerns on environment protection and general awareness thereon, environment protectionhas to be a core focus area.
