LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

Incorporated in 1981, Oswal Chemicals & Fertilizers (OCFL) promoted by the Oswal group which comprises Oswal Agro Mills and Oswal Agro Furane. The company has plants at Shahjahanpur, UP; Mandideep and Dewas, Madhya Pradesh and Rishra, West Bengal. OCFL manufactures agro-products like vegetable ghee; it has a soyabean processing plant, a vegetable oil refinery, a hydrogenation plant and a flour mill; it also produces chemicals like low-density polyethylene (LDPE).  


 
 In October 1989, the company came out with a public issue of 19.700 Millions 12.5% FCDs of Rs 200 aggregating Rs 3950.000 Millions to part-finance the Rs 6950.000 Millions project of setting up a gas-based fertiliser complex at Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Commercial production of urea commenced in 1995. The re-location of LDPE plant from Rishra in West Bengal to Shahjahanpur in U.P has been successfully completed and commenced commercial production on March, 1998. The company also shut down its LDPE plant in September, 1998, after lifting of price control on molasses. 


 
 The 1.920 million TPA Phosphatic Fertilizer project at Paradeep, Orissa has started trial production from March, 2000. Teething troubles faced during the trial runs were attended to with the help of process licensors. The Company has tied up the raw material requirements for the plant on a long term basis.

 

 

The group’s well-diversified business houses comprises of:

 

v      Oswal Chemicals and Fertilisers Limited (OCFL)

v      Oswal Agro Mills Limited (OAML)

v      Oswal Agro Furane Limited (OAFL)

 

The company's fixed assets of important value include Leasehold & Freehold Land, Site Development Land, Leasehold & Freehold Buildings, Plant & Machinery, Furniture & Fixtures, Vehicles and Capital work-in-progress.

 

Review of Operations

 

The year under review was quite important in so far as it relates to the operations of the company. During the year, the company became debt free and investors value increased manifold. As you are aware that the company was manufacturing Urea and Di-Ammonium Phosphatic (DAP) fertilizers at Shahjahanpur (U.R) and Paradeep (Orissa) respectively and the company was the single largest manufacturer of DAP through Rock Phosphate route in India. By supplying both Urea and DAP to the farmers of the country, the company has immensely contributed to the green revolution in the country.

 

However, the fertilizers industry in India is governed by subsidy regime which is hampering growth prospects and as such, slow down the growth rate. Therefore, during the year under review, the directors decided to exit from this business of manufacturing fertilizers to move on to rapidly growing sectors like petrochemicals and petroleum, mining and metals, real estate, etc. The Directors are pleased to inform you that the state of the art facility to manufacture DAP at Paradeep (Orissa) was sold to Indian Farmers Fertilizer Co-operative Limited. (IFFCO). The company was able to realize an amount of Rs.2400.000 Millions after transferring liabilities of Financial institutions and Banks amounting to Rs.23800.000 Millions. The deal was so structured that the Financial Institutions and Banks who had provided financial assistance to this unit got paid all their outstanding dues along with interest without the Company taking any waivers or concession.

 

This early repayment by way of transfer of this asset has certainly created value for investors and has enhanced the company's reputation before Financial Institutions and Banks. Similarly, the Urea manufacturing unit at Shahjahanpur was sold for a consideration of Rs.19080.000 Millions. It is now run by Kribhco Shyam Fertilizer Limited. (KSFL), the management of which vests with KRIBHCO, another large cooperative of farmers. It is a matter of great satisfaction to the Directors that both of these plants are now operated by large & successful co-operatives of Indian farmers and will continue to serve the nation in coming years due to the technological advantage these units had. This may kindly be appreciated that the Directors preferred national co-operatives over other private businesses who wanted to purchase these units, keeping in mind the social obligations and responsibility towards the farmers and the nation.

Both of these transactions have resulted in a net cash-in flow of Rs.21480.000 Millions to the company and the company's net worth has improved to Rs. 1733927.300 Millions from Rs.4052.677 Millions in the last year. It must be appreciated that this leaves enough room for the company to multiply its wealth by entering into high growth sectors like petrochemicals and petroleum products, real estate and other related investment opportunities.

 

Dividend

 

The company wishes to diversify its activities in high growth sectors like petrochemicals and petroleum products, mining and metals, real estate etc. which may require heavy investment outlay, therefore, for the time being, the directors do not recommend any dividend for the year.

 

Material Changes :

 

There are no material changes affecting the affairs of the company since the date of Balance Sheet and upto the date of this report.

 

Change of Registered Office

 

Pursuant to sale of its Urea undertaking at Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, the Board of Directors of the Company has decided to shift the Registered Office of the Company from Village Piprola, Jalalabad Road, Shahjahanpur (U.R) to Vijay Inder Nagar (Near Jain Colony), Daba Road, Ludhiana - 141 003 (Punjab). Shareholders approval for the same was sought through postal ballot, the result whereof was declared on 19.07.2006. Upon completion of necessary formalities with Company Law Board and Registrar of Companies, the Registered Office will stand shifted in the state of Punjab.

 

Management Discussion and Analysis

 

Overview

 

Agriculture plays an important role in the progress of any developing nation. Since the start of the green revolution in the country the fertilizer industry is assisting agricultural sector to achieve high growth rate. However, the growth rate in this sector has declined considerably, whereas the growth in other sectors like real estate, petro-chemicals and petroleum products is considerably high. The fertilizer industry  always has the constraint of subsidy regime, which hampers growth prospects. Therefore, the company exited the business of manufacturing fertilizer, both Urea and DAP. The units at Shahjahanpur (UP) and Paradeep (Orissa) are sold to Kribhco Shyam Fertilizers Limited (KFCL) and Indian Farmers Fertilizer Co-operative Limited (IFFCO) respectively. Through this sale the company has become a debt free company;

in fact, the company repaid its liabilities much before the stipulated period. Segment wise performance The company sold its Urea and DAP undertakings during the year and reported a profit after tax of Rs. 1593.900 Millions. The sale of the two undertakings resulted in a net cash inflow of 21480.000 Millions. However, before the sale the company manufactured 704,966 MT of Urea and 187,896 MT of DAP/NR

 

Human Relations

 

The human relations were cordial throughout the year. Manpower deployed at Urea and DAP units were transferred to the new owners along with other assets. There were 122 employees as at 31.03.2006. Internal Control System The company has a proper and adequate system of internal controls to ensure that all the assets of the company are safe guarded, transactions are authorised, recorded and reported correctly. The controls also ensure compliance with policies and statutes. The operational management drives its controls over business processes through appropriate operational systems. The observations and shortcomings pointed out by the auditors are discussed at the audit committee and Board of Directors Meetings and the suggestions are implemented in right earnest.

 

Risks and Concerns

 

Pursuant to sale of its DAP and Urea undertakings, the Management is focusing on high growth sectors like petrochemicals, petroleum, mines and metals, real estate, commodities, investment etc. All the above business have their inherent risks including project implementation and operational risks. The Management will ensure that the returns from the new investment avenues are optimized by minimizing the risks associated with such business.

 

Opportunity and Outlook

 

The Management has sufficient experience in setting up and running large grass root projects and is capable of undertaking large projects for petroleum products, metals etc. which will further enhance the shareholders value and yield good returns on investment.

 

Risk Management

 

The Board takes responsibility for the total process of risk management in the organization. Results of the risk assessments and residual risks are presented to the Senior Management and the Audit Committee members. The Management is accountable for the integration of risk management practices into the day to day activities. The scope of the Audit Committee includes review of the Company's financial and risk management policies. The Audit Committee reviews the Audit reports covering operational, financial and other business risk areas
