CONCLUSIVE:

 

I would like to sincerely thank all my colleagues on the board for their wise counsel and assistant and express my appreciation for the efficient and loyal services rendered by the Company's employees at all levels. I must also express my gratitude to their many business partners, their stockiests, distributors, retailers and suppliers for their continued support and most importantly.

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE;

 

Consumer spending is gradually picking up in urban India, the overall demand conditions continued to be dfficult since the agriculture sector has declined significantly, severely affecting rural demand. The market environment continues to be very competitive. Within the challenging competitive market conditions. The

Company continues to deliver excellent growth in sales of 29.90% during the year 2004-05.

 

BUSINESS PROSPECTS:

 

In a highly competitive market environment, it is essential to respond with such products and services that will not only improve the quality of life but will also increase the Company's market leadership in the Oral Care business. This was aggressively supported with "360 degree" marketing, consumer promotions and

trade incentives. Their products with the power of Ayurvedic contents is proven to make teeth stronger.

 

The "bmpany undertook product improvement measures despite a strong recessionary pressure in the toothpaste market. Competitive brands have chosen to down-price and partially offset the cost by down-sizing their pack. However, Amar Tooth Paste continues to offer excellent value to the consumer by rationalizing prices to match competitors without reducing the grammage of toothpaste in each tube. The FMCG sector in India has become fiercely competitive. In order to survive as a viable manufacturing unit, the company needs to have access to state-of-the-art technology so as to improve continually the quality of products and cost efficiency. With a view to adapting and absorbing the technological assistance, the Company has established a Research & Development Centre at Daman during the year 2003- 2004. The main advantage of having such centre is that the company can undertake adaptive research to develop new products and process as well as to improve the existing products and process that meet the Indian consumers and business needs. All theses initiatives are likely to further strengthen the Company's market leadership in the Oral Care business.

As per Web Site Details

 

Overview

 

In 1984, Swami Aushadalaya Pvt. Ltd. was incorporated to start a journey in Ayurvedic medicinal research and development. A name change resulted in AMAR Remedies Pvt. Ltd. and subsequently in 1995 AMAR Remedies Ltd. (ARL) came into being. The first Manufacturing Facility was constructed at Surat, Gujarat.

 

ARL’s first product was toothpaste and in times when every toothpaste available in the market used gelatine as an ingredient (making their toothpaste non-vegetarian), AMAR Toothpaste made a breakthrough by developing a gelatine-free formula. Thus, ARL was successful in developing “VEGETARIAN” TOOTHPASTE, the only one of its kind. AMAR Toothpaste was launched in the markets of Gujarat for the first time in 1991. By 1994 it was all over the Western markets of India, and by 1998 the company extended its brand by launching AMAR Regular Toothpaste and AMAR Strong Toothpaste.

 

ARL Daman plant was inaugurated in 2001. Its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility resulted in an immediate increase in capacity and gave ARL the opportunity to manufacture more varieties of toothpastes for different segments.

 

ARL started manufacturing more than 25 different brands and variants of toothpaste for local as well as the export markets. ARL also makes regular cosmetic toothpastes besides herbal products. It found immediate success in selling to traders in African countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Sudan, and Tanzania, and also in countries like Dubai and Panama.

 

Infrastructure

 

ARL has two manufacturing plants at Surat (25000 sq.ft.) and Daman (20000 sq.ft.) respectively.

 

The Surat Plant is a two-storied building, which will be made operational after the public issue. It will manufacture Ayurvedic medicines for which the company has an FDA approval on 25 Ayurvedic and herbal products.

 

The Daman Factory is a sophisticated plant with modern machinery used to manufacture FMCG products and Ayurvedic medicines. It runs in 3 shifts, mainly manufacturing various types of Toothpastes along with Pain Balm and Toothpowder.

 

2500 years ago, Charaka, the Father of Medicine consolidated Ayurveda - the earliest school of medicine known to man.

 

Ayurvedic remedies are derived from nature and are able to cure, rather than suppress disease and do not give birth to any side effects. Not surprisingly, Ayurveda is being accepted more and more not only in India but also globally.

 

At ARL, it is their constant endeavour to spread the benefits of this science across all geographical barriers.

 

With a very focused, dedicated and committed approach, they embarked upon the project to formulate products, which can provide the benefits of Ayurveda to the common man.

 

ARL works towards changing the perceptions of Ayurveda in the eyes of consumers from that of a simple homemade remedy, to that of a new age holistic cure.

 

The ARL research team is currently dedicating itself towards Research and Ayurvedic cures for six critical sicknesses such as:

 

1 Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)

2 Medicines for blood purification to avoid dialyses

3 Blood Pressure

4 Malaria

5 Typhoid

6 Jaundice

 

ARL is embarking upon establishing a strong marketing network to for its Ayurvedic medicines all over India. ARL plans to launch its 25 FDA approved Ayurvedic medicines in India as well as in International markets.

 

Amar Remedies to enter capital market on Aug 25th 8/23/2005 5:41:27 PM IST

 

 

Amar Remedies Limited, one of the leading manufactures and exporters of Ayurvedic products, is entering the capital market on 25th August 2005 with an IPO of 15mn equity shares through 100% Book Building process in the price band of Rs24 to Rs28 per equity share of Rs10 each.

The issue would constitute 57.33% of the fully diluted post issue paid up capital of the company. The issue closes on 31st August. The Book Running Lead Managers for the issue is Allianz Securities Limited.

The Company said that, it has registered 24 Ayurvedic medicines with FDA since 1997 onwards, Since it is in the FMCG business and has a presence in both the domestic and international markets of Africa, South America, and Middle East, it, therefore feels that this is the right time to diversify and establish itself as a multi product company. Further it will also help the company gain wide recognition amongst the people for umbrella brand ‘Amar’ that will give value addition in its products. It has a land and building structure ready at Surat, which reduces the gestation period and allows it to commence its Expansion Project immediately.

The Ayurvedic products that are to be launched have already been approved by FDA. The company’s foray into ayurvedic medicines for Hypertension, Diabetes and Heart Ailments will be an added advantage.

At the proposed infrastructure in Surat, Amar Remedies intend to set up a state of the art manufacturing facility using all GMP compliant machinery. It has designed the plant to be completely dust-free and to some extent moisture free to ensure high standard of manufacturing. It is setting up a laboratory to facilitate in-house research and development at the same time to ensure high standard of quality control.

The company intends to make Ayurveda as a main stream treatment instead of an alternative treatment by following good manufacturing practices (GMP) and modernizing the packaging. This would also help in marketing of products to developed countries viz. USA and Europe, which have set high standards for import of medicinal products.

It also intends to give Consultation over toll-free phone lines which will be a unique way of knowing consumer needs and catering specifically to them. The company also proposes to do extensive branding for selling products Over The Counter. All this would help in changing the general perception of consumers towards Ayurveda as an age-old science to a new-age remedy.

Amar Remedies has already achieved success in developing medicines for various diseases such as irregular digestive system, heart ailments, throat infections, sinus, improvement in eye sight, reduction in pigmentation of skin. The medicines proposed to be manufactured at Expansion Project are result of successful research in the past 5 to 7 years. They are looking not just to create an Ayurvedic option to other origin of medicines but Ayurveda as the only answer to the disease.

Due to continuous and ongoing R&D Amar Remedies has been successful in developing a wide range of toothpaste. It has been periodically developing different variants of toothpaste and till date has developed more than 25 variants of toothpaste. This has resulted in a growth of over 200% in turnover over the last three years. It has developed 24 different Ayurvedic medicines and has also obtained FDA approval for the manufacture and sale of these medicines, which include medicines for hypertension, diabetes and heart ailments.

The Company proposes to manufacture the 24 different Ayurvedic medicines in the Expansion Project. Its focus on the development of these Ayurvedic medicines will be to change the perception of consumer towards Ayurveda from an age-old science to a remedy for various new age ailments and diseases by changing the delivery system of the medicine.
