The financial year 2006-07 has ended on a positive note, financially and operationally. Strong 

demand from steel industry worldwide has been an important factor for the encouraging 

results. However, optimum use of key resources like chrome ore and electricity has been our 

objective, to keep costs under control. We need to achieve longterm viability, as market prices 

and demand do and will fluctuate. Further integration to coal mining and expansion of electricity 

generation is now pursued expeditiously for adequate fundamental strength. 

Lets hope and put our best efforts to better our operations in the current year. Consistency in 

operations is extremely important for us to implement our future plans.

CORPORATE MESSAGE 

Dear Colleagues, 

One of the four ongoing projects, the 30 MVA furnace at Chowduar has just been completed and commissioned successfully. 

This adds another 40,000 MT to our Ferro Chrome capacity, which is a significant step in our constant endeavour for leadership 

amongst integrated producers in India. The project completion got delayed by about six months . We are serious about drawing 

lessons from this lapse. The industrial hyper activity that we see in Odisha today has brought to the fore many new factors that 

affect schedules. But there is scope for more pro-activity, which we need to put in our planning process. 

We have prioritised on recruitment of new talent to manage and lead our new projects. New members of IMFA family at all 

locations are not only taking care of assignments and responsibilities, but are also bringing in new ideas and new perspectives 

which is so very important. The induction and orientation process of first few months is a two way traffic, and sets the platform 

for effective teamwork. 

On the commercial front, we are experiencing a slight downturn in the international demand for ferro chrome. The silver lining 

however is, quarter to quarter price movements are becoming nominal, unlike in the cyclical past; I am very hopeful this is the 

beginning of a new trend of stability in demand and price of our product. 

With best wishes, 

(Jayant Misra) 

Director (Corporate)

THE PERFECT GIRL 

A friend asked a gentleman how it is that he never married 

Replied the gentleman, "Well, I guess I just never met the right 

woman ... I guess I've been looking for the perfect girl." "Oh, 

come on now," said the friend, "Surely you have met at least 

on girl that you wanted to marry." 

"Yes, there was one girl .. once. I guess she was the one perfect 

girl .. the only perfect girl I really ever met. She was just the 

right everything .. I really mean that she was the perfect girl for 

me." "Well, why didn't you marry her," asked the friend. "She 

was looking for the perfect man," he said. 

Genie In The Lamp 

A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled 

upon an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out 

popped a genie. The genie said "OK. OK. You released me from 

the lamp, blah, blah, blah. This is the 4th time this month and 

I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about 

three. You only get one wish! The man sat and thought about it 

for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but 

I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a 

bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit" The genie 

laughed and said, "That's impossible! Think of the logistics of 

that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the 

Pacific Think of how much concrete . . how much steel!! No, 

think of another wish!" The man said OK and tried to think of 

a really good wish. Finally, he said, "I've been married and 

divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and 

that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women . . 

…. know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when 

they give me the silent treatment . . .know why they're crying, 

know what they really want when they say, 'nothing' . . . know 

how to make them truly happy . . ." The genie said, "You want 

that bridge with two lanes or four"

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their 

local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto 

the green when he sees a long funeral procession on 

the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, 

takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down 

in prayer. 

His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and 

touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind 

man.” 

The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 

years.” 

A man was walking down the streets of 

Washington DC one night. All of a sudden 

a mugger sticks a gun in his ribs and says. 

Give me all your money. 

He replied, "Do you realize I am an 

important member of government" The 

robber said, "In that case give me all my 

money!" 

 

A man appeared before St. Peter at the pearly gates. "Have you 

ever done anything of particular merit" St. Peter asked. 

"Well, I can think of one thing," the man offered. "Once, on a 

trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang 

of high-testosterone bikers, who were threatening a young 

woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't 

listen. So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed 

biker and smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, 

ripped out his nose ring and threw it on the ground. I yelled, 

'Now, back off biker boy or you'll answer to me!'" 

St. Peter was impressed. "When did this happen" 

"Just a couple minutes ago." 

 

When the man came home, his wife was crying. 

"Your mother insulted me," she sobbed. 

"My mother How could she do that when she is on vacation 

on the other side of the world" the man asked. 

"I know. But this morning a letter addressed to you arrived. I 

opened it because I was curious." 

"And" 

"At the end of the letter it was written: 

PS. Dear Diane, when you have finished reading this letter, 

don't forget to give it to my son."
