LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Operations 
 
 During the business year 2004-2005, the company continued to make progress in terms of diversification and broadening of its product portfolio and extending its operational reach into new markets. The sales of the Company grew from Rs. 213.518 Millions in the business year 2003-2004 to Rs. 324.313 Millions in the business year 2004-2005. The increase in sales and profitability has been achieved primarily on account of better product mix and containment of costs. 
 
 The future of their Company looks bright. New products being developed are getting market acceptance. Many established surgeons have tried their products and started using them continuously and the trends are encouraging. Overall, considerable increases in the production and sales of the Company can be foreseen. The technical functioning of their plant as indicated by the above-mentioned results, the capacity utilisation's was quite satisfactory and production levels were selectively improved as required. Even with a noticeably better performance during the current year, the Directors regret that they are still not in a position to recommend a dividend. 
 
 ISO 9001: 2000 Certification 
 
 The company is ISO 9001 : 2000 certified. The stringent ISO 9001 : 2000 system means effective control over every step to achieve true quality assurance for customers. 
 
 
Research and Development 
 
 The Company strongly believes that sustained growth in this suture industry can be achieved through continuous pursuit for innovation. Maintaining World Class Quality Standards is an obsession with top management that percolates to every level, making CENTENIAL facilities and products a landmark. Everyday Surgeon's expectations continually increase. The Company's research & development activities continue to be directed towards upgradation of technology and development of new products. The company's commitment is to meet and exceed those expectations. 
 
 
People and Safety 
 
 Industrial relations in the company were cordial throughout the business year under review. The Company believes the most valuable asset of every company is its human resource. CENTENIAL values all their employees and makes effort through Quality of work life to help their growth. The Company has always placed emphasis on their people and safety at workplace. This year's results were possible due to the excellent individual and team efforts of their employees. I take this opportunity to thank them for their efforts and for those that will come this business year. The Board of Directors wish to place on record their sincere appreciation for the continued support and excellent work of all the employees. 
 
 Dividend 
 
 The Directors do not recommend dividend for the year under review in view of expansion for better future. 

 

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
 The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1956, and Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Indian GAAP). In the adoption of the accounting standards there are no material departures from the prescribed Indian accounting standards. The Company's management believes that it has been objective and prudent in making estimates and judgements relating to the financial statements and believes that these financial statements are a fair representation of the Company's operations and profits for the year. 
 
 Overview 
 
 As will be seen from the financial results for the year, sales increased from Rs. 213.518 Millions to  324.313 Millions . The significant improvement in sales is due to strategies adopted by the Company in 2004 and 2005, aimed at improving the Sales. Measures to improve marketing and sales force effectiveness met with considerable success. Reduction in the cost of materials has been achieved through procurement and production efficiencies and local sourcing. In summary the sharp focus on demand generation for key products, procurement and manufacturing efficiencies, tight control on expenses have helped improve profits for the year

 

Opportunities and Threats 
 
 The surgical industry depends largely on new surgical applications and surgeries. In the last few years, the increase in the allocation of funds for such purposes have been on the increase and as such the opportunity of growth in surgical items is unlimited. However, there exists untapped potential in the nursing home sector. The Company has arrangement/ understanding with various distribution market and sell various items which are required in the nursing home market. 
 
 Product Performance 
 
 The overall growth of business in the country has not been upto the desired levels because of restricted funding. The range of sutures has been steadily growing since 1998. The Company has consolidated its position in cardiovascular sutures segment and further consolidation is expected. With the introduction of new suture ranges, the sales has been growing steadily. However, in view of unrestricted imports and competition, sales and profitability of the Company has been affected. 
 
 Outlook 
 
 During the first quarter of the current financial year there has been an improvement in the market conditions resulting in an increase in despatches and higher sales price realisations. It is expected that this trend will continue. Further the growth rate of the Indian economy has been projected and the Company is also likely to benefit from this economic growth. Also due to increase in the production capacity there would be improvement in the profits of the Company in the coming years. 
 
 Risks and Concerns 
 
 The management believes that the Company's business is subject to a number of risks. The company has developed its business plan based on its view of the evolving regulatory framework. Many of the components of the regulatory regime are established or articulated by the relevant regulatory authorities, including FDA. In the event that the assumptions used in the business plan are different from the existing regulations, there would bean impact on the Company's business
