LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Engaged in the manufacture of PU foam and laminated products (inst. cap. : 240 tpa; 0.5 Million mtr pa), Jasch Industries (JIL) has set up manufacturing facilities for PU resin, PU synthetic leather and non-woven fabric for captive consumption in manufacturing PU leather.  

 

 While the installed capacity for PU resins is 3600 tpa, that for synthetic leather and non-woven fabric is 3.6 Million mtr pa each. Production of PU resin and PU leather commenced in 1994 and that of non-woven fabric from 1995. The company has a technical collaboration with Duck sung Chemical Company, Korea, which has over two decades of experience in the manufacture of PU resin and PU leather.  
 
Jasch Plastics, a firm managed by the promoters of JIL, manufactures PVC synthetic leather. The promoters manage two other concerns, which produce PVC foam leather and blowing agents for the PVC industry.  
 
During 1997-98, the company has developed in-house and test marketed a product known as Beta/Gamma Thickness Gauge. This product was initially designed to measure the thickness of coated fabric being manufactured by the company. However market enquiries made by the company have revealed that this product has considerable market potential. Therefore the company now plans to produce this product on commercial basis. 
 
During the year 1999-2000, the Company has negotiated a package of relief and concessions with ICICI Ltd. resulting in reschedulement of repayment period of the term loan and reduction in rate of interest from 18.5% to 14.5 %, which will substantially reduce the interest burden of the Company. 
 
During the year 2000-01,the sale of the company has registered a growth of 9.20% over the previous year. Operating Profit of the company has also registered a growth of 9.30% over the previous year and this would have been higher, but for the increase in the prices of petro based raw material and fuel oil during the year 2000-01. 
 
The interest and finance charges have declined sharply by about 16.00% during the year 2000-01,due to full impact of reduction in interest rate from 18.50% to 14.50% on term loan of the financial institutions, repayment of term loans and better inventory and working capital management.

 

OPERATIONS & PERFORMANCE: 

The company has achieved sales of Rs.323.710 Millions during 2005-2006 which were 22.15% higher as compared with the sales of previous year. The sales of Synthetic Leather Division at Rs.213.785 Millions during 2005-2006 were substantially higher by 25.8% as compared with the sales of Rs.172.747 Millions in the previous year. The Electronic Gauge Division also increased by 15.20% to Rs.106.332 Millions during 2005-2006 as compared with sales of Rs.92.265 Millions in the previous year. 


 
The exports including deemed exports of Electronic Gauges registered sharp increase of 66% during the year at Rs.50.293 Millions as compared with export of Rs.30.249 Millions in the previous year. In fact, exports constituted 47.3% of sales of Electronic Gauges Division during the year under review. 

 
The improvement in the sale of Synthetic Leather Division is mainly due to phased implementation of modernisation scheme during 2004 to 2006 resulting in widening of product range and improvement in quality of products. However, Synthetic Leather Division continues to suffer cheap Imports from China and Taiwan besides sharp escalation in prices of petroleum based raw materials and chemicals. 

 
The company could withstand competition successfully to a certain extent due to reduction in the cost of inputs, particularly power & fuel due to modernisation of machinery & improvement in productivity. 
 
The performance of Electronic division was quite satisfactory during the year with sharp increase in exports to China, Bangladesh, Egypt, South Africa, Turkey, etc. The company has received recognization as approved vendor from LN Mittal Group of Steel Companies in various countries for supply of Electronic Gauges. The Company is also participating in National & International Trade Fair displaying its Electronic Gauges, which is expected to result in more order inflows and hence better performance in the next 2-3 years. 
 
Operating profit before interest, depreciation, Income Tax, Fringe Benefit Tax, Deferred Tax and exceptional items and prior period adjustments has increased to Rs.36.784 Millions i.e. an increase of 12% over the previous year mainly due to improved performance of Synthetic Leather Division. The interest & Finance charges have marginally declined to Rs.92.90 despite substantial increase in sales due to repayment of loan during the year and decline in interest rate on cash credit facility & term loan. 


The gross profit before depreciation has also increase to Rs.27.494 Millions during the year as compared with Rs.22.420 Millions in the previous year. After providing depreciation of Rs.10.565 Millions & provision of Income Tax, Fringe Benefit Tax & Deferred Tax of Rs.6.185 Millions, the company has earned net profit of Rs.10.504 Millions which is marginally less as compared to previous years net profit of Rs.11.335 Millions mainly due to provision of deferred tax of Rs.4.256 Millions during the year consequent to capitalization of assets of modernization scheme. Excluding notional deferred tax the net profit of the company would have been higher at Rs.14.508 Millions i.e. an increase of 28.80% over the previous year's profit. 


INSURANCE CLAIM: 


As reported in the previous years, one of the Plants manufacturing PU Foam Laminated products along with inventory was completely destroyed in a fire accident in November 2001. Although the company had received the insurance claim from the Insurance Company, the same was highly inadequate (claim of only Rs.8.600 Millions was received during 2004-2005 against the book value of Rs.13.500 Millions destroyed in fire) and was received after in ordinate delay. As such, the Company has initiated legal proceedings against the Insurance Company for recovery of balance amount of insurance claim and currently the matter is pending in Delhi High Court. 
 
Comprehensive insurance cover of adequate amount has been taken for the company's building, plant & machinery and inventory. 

 
EXPANSION SCHEME: 

Enthused by the improved performance of the Synthetic Leather Division, the management has decided to take up an expansion scheme envisaging installation of a high speed and fuel efficient PU Coating Machine at a capital cost of Rs.41.000 Millions, proposed to be financed by term loan of Rs.30.000 Millions from State Bank of India and balance Rs.11.000 Millions from internal cash accruals. New, PU Coating Plant would produce PU Synthetic Leather for use in Upholstery, garment, sports goods and automobiles, besides footwear industry. The Expansion Scheme is expected to be completed during the current financial year. 
 
FUTURE PROSPECTS: 
 
Despite tough competition from imported goods from China & Taiwan, the management is hopeful of better performance of Synthetic Leather Division in view of many initiatives taken for cost reduction and improved sales realization consequent to development of new products. Performance will improve further after completion of Expansion Scheme. Electronic Gauge Division is also having domestic and export orders of more than 50.000 Millions. In view of this, barring unforeseen circumstances, the management is hopeful of higher sales and profits during the current year.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT: 
 
PVC & PU Synthetic Leather is mostly used in Footwear Industry as raw material for Shoe-Upper, Lining, Insole, Chappal & Sandal Straps etc. It is also used in Garment as Lining Material, as Automobile Seat Cover & Furniture upholstery material, in Ladies & Gents Purses and Bags and in the manufacture of sports goods. 
 
Synthetic Leather Industry in India is badly fragmented & most of the players are in small scale and unorganized sector manufacturing cheap quality products. The Industry is suffering due to tough competition from imported material from China, Taiwan, Hongkong & Korea, which enjoy the benefits of economics of scale & hence lower cost of production. 

 

RESOURCE UTILIZATION: 
 
 (i) Fixed Assets: 
 
The gross fixed assets (including capital work in progress) as at 31st March, 2006 were Rs.217.388 Millions as compared to Rs.206.675 Millions in the previous year. The addition of fixed assets of Rs.10.713 Millions was mainly on construction of additional factory building, installation of balancing machinery & utility equipments under modernisation scheme of Synthetic Leather Division. 
 
 (ii) Current Assets: 
 
The net current assets as on 31st March, 2006 were Rs.116.597 Millions as compared with Rs.97.922 Millions in the previous year resulting in increase of Rs.18.675 Millions for sustaining higher level of production and sales.  
 
 (iii) Term Loan and Working Capital: 
 
The Company changed its Bank from Bank of Baroda, New Delhi to Punjab National Bank, Sonepat both for term loan and working capital for better operational flexibility and lower rate of interest during July, 2005. The company is regularly servicing its term loan liabilities. The working capital borrowing from Bank increased by about Rs.6.600 Millions during the year, for financing higher level of production and sales. Overall secured debt of the company increased marginally from Rs.76.901 Millions as on 31-03-2005 to Rs.81.087 Millions against net worth of Rs.146.310 Millions indicating overall debt equity ratio at 0.55:1 as on 31st March, 2006, reflecting quite satisfactory debt profile of the company. 

 

RISK MANAGEMENT: 

 Risk is an integral part of any business, more so in India. A brief evaluation of business risk of Jasch Industries Ltd. as perceived by the Management is as under: 


 i. Business Segment Risk: 

a.       User Industry Concentration: 

PVC/PU Synthetic Leather is used across a wide spectrum of Industries. However Jasch Industries Ltd's products are mostly (upto 75% of total) used in Footwear Industry. Therefore, the fortunes of the company are invariably linked with that of Footwear Industry. Any downward trend in Footwear Industry will have significant impact on the company. The company is making efforts to increase usage of its products in other Industries such as Automobile & General purpose Up-holstery, Sports Goods and Garment Industries & it is hoped that over the next few years the share of Footwear Industry may come down to 60%.

Excessive exposure to a few large clients has the potential to adversely affect the sales and profitability in view of failure/shift of clients to other  manufacturers. Fortunately, the company's customers and dealers are fairly spread out across the country.

 The currency risk emerges from the potential upward or downward fluctuations in foreign currency. The Company's foreign exchange spending by way of import of raw materials and consumables currently constitutes only 24.7% of total cost of raw material and consumables. Therefore, there is no significant long term currency risk. Further, the Thickness Gauging System has export orders on hand, which will provide cushion by way of natural hedge on foreign exchange transactions. The company incurred foreign currency expenditure of Rs.51.114 Millions during the year, against exports in foreign currency were Rs.39.770 Millions (excluding deemed exports), leaving a small deficit of Rs.11.344 Millions. The company's foreign currency transactions are on current account basis and there is no deferred liability in terms of foreign exchange. 
 
 (b) Interest and Leverage Risk: 

 The interest rate on the company's debt is continuously declining with repayments, which will have positive impact on the company's financial. The Company's debt is also declining continuously and average rate of interest on term loan and working capital borrowings has declined during 2005-2006
