national flask industries ltd Management discussions


MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

The Company due to loss of Machinery and Stocks in fire had been hard hit with the fund. The Company has only one division, manufacturing of Plastic products. The Company has been expecting to achieve a reasonable turn over if the rehabilitation programme will be implemented by the consortium bankers.

Secondly, due to over dues from the Debtors and Advances which have turned into bad debts, the Management has to write off the substantial amount of receivables after taking legal steps, which also contributed to ill health of the Company.

The Company is having very low labour turnover and is having cordial industrial relations. There are no financial or commercial transactions having a potential conflict of interest between personnel in the management and the Company.
