OVERALL PERFOMANCE

 

The company was established in February in 1992 with an authorized capital of Rp. 500,000,000.- issued capital of Rp. 200,000,000.- wholly paid-up. Founders and shareholders of P.T. BENTOEL PRIMA (P.T. BP) are P.T. RAJAWALI CORPORATION (originally named P.T. RAJAWALI WIRA BHAKTI UTAMA) and Mr. Budhy Gunawan Wibisono Budhyarto, an Indonesian businessman of Chinese extraction. Its articles of association has frequently been revamped for a couple of times. Later in September 1997, the authorized capital was increased to Rp. 600,000,000,000.- billion issued capital to Rp. 185,000,000,000.- wholly paid-up. On the same occasion, Mr. Budhy Gunawan Wibisono Budhyarto pulled-out and replaced by P.T. Perusahaan Rokok TJAP BENTOEL. By the end of January 2000 P.T. RAJAWALI granted its 2.5% shares to Koperasi Karyawan P.T. BENTOEL PRIMA 'TUNAS HARAPAN.

 

Its articles of association has been frequently changed for a couple of times. Until 31 December 2002, P.T. BP's whole shares was taken over by P.T. BENTOEL INTERNATIONAL INVESTAMA Tbk  or P.T. BINI (99.999%) and P.T. RAJAWALI Corp., (0.001%).  The largest shareholder of P.T. BP is P.T. BINI, a public listed company whose shares ware originally owned by P.T. SEMESTA INDOVEST (14.14%), P.T. CIPTADANA SECURITAS (11.14%), P.T. LEMON SILK LTD., (5.57%) and the public (69.15%). P.T. SEMESTA INDOVEST is member company of the RAJAWALI Group led by Mr. Peter Sondakh Also Known As (AKA) Jo Kok Tjeng.

     

According to the articles of association of the company, the shareholders of P.T. BP are P.T. RAJAWALI CORPORATION (70%) and P.T. Perusahaan Rokok TJAP BENTOEL (30%).  The articles of association of the company were made by Dian Guntari Listianingsih Soemarwoto, SH., A NOTARY PUBLIC IN Jakarta, under number 7 having been legalized by the Department of Law and Human Rights under number C-UM.02.01.12229 dated 18 July 2006.

 

P.T. BP is dealing with clove cigarettes and packaging industry operating as from July 1997. P.T. BP operates 2 unit of factories respectively machine made clove cigarettes manufacturing located at Jalan Raya Karanglo and hand rolled clove cigarette manufacturing.  The above two factories were originally owned by its parent company P.T. Perusahaan Rokok TJAP BENTOEL.  Most of its other assets including the factories have already been handed over to P.T. BP. Some of the assets to have been shifted to P.T.BP are cigarette basic materials, warehouses, office buildings, branch office and marketing offices and marketing network, trademarks as well as patnt, on suggestion from P.T. Bank RAKYAT INDONESIA and P.T. Bank MANDIRI (ex. P.T. Bank Bumi Daya) as part of debt restructuring P.T. Perusahaan Rokok TJAP BENTOEL to both state-owned banks.

 

After the taking over of the above assets, P.T. BP controls some 99.90% shares of P.T. Perusahaan Dagang dan Industri TRESNO (white cigarette manufacturing), 99.60% shares of P.T. Perusahaan Dagang dan Industri SUBURAMAN (white cigarette manufacturing), 99.60% shares of P.T. Perusahaan Dagang dan Percetakan AMISETA (cigarettes distribution) and 99.88% shares of P.T. TAMAN BENTOEL  (recreation park development and management) was previously owned by P.T. BENTOEL. 

 

Since 1983, P.T. Perusahaan Dagang dan Industri TRESNO obtained a license from PHILIP MORRIS PRODUCT Inc., of the USA to prouce and to market well known white cigarette MARLBORO of which 90% is marketed domestically and 10% is exported to Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippine.  But in November 1998 the license agreement has been terminated.

 

According to the Indonesian Cigarette Producers Association (GAPPRI), the annual production of P.T. BP in 2003 reached 3,865 million sticks cigarettes soared to 4,138 million sticks in 2004 and 4,296 million sticks in 2005.  It was an impressive increase in production occurred in Bentoel Country and Bentoel Sejati but the sales of Star Mild brand had been declining.  In December 2004, P.T. BP signed a letter of agreement (LoA) of the acceleration limit of distribution agreement with P.T. PHILIP MORRIS INDONESIA (P.T. PMI).  Mr. Drs. Darjono Setiawan, the Chairman of P.T. BP, said that the ending of distribution agreement with P.T. PMI is one of considerations to anticipate potential conflict in the future because P.T. BP also produces non-clove flavoring cigarettes having lately shown significant increase in sales.

 

Business position of P.T. BP is quite critical due to lack of public purchasing power as the impact of economic crisis since the end of July 1997 hitherto. For the long run, the business has good prospect because the products have been widely known among consumers. The prominent products of P.T. BP are clove cigarettes of STAR MILD, BENTOEL MILD, BENTOEL BIRU and INTER BIRU brands.

 

Based on financial report of P.T. BP, its sales turnover in 2002 reached Rp 4,955.9 billion with net profit of Rp 227.5 billion declined to Rp. 4,268.5 billion with a net profit of Rp. 15.4 billion in 2003 and rose again to Rp. 4,289.5 billion with a net profit of Rp. 97.8 billion in 2004.  The total sales turnover of P.T.BP in 2005 is estimated to have increased to Rp. 4,310.0 billion with a net profit of Rp. 112.0 billion and jumped up to Rp. 4,810.0 billion with a net profit of Rp. 125.0 billion in 2006.

 

In 2002, P.T. PPA (ex. IBRA) revealed that P.T. BP was registerd as one of bad debtors with total bad debt of Rp. 260.0 billion.  However, since February 2003 the debt had been shifted from P.T. PPA to two investors namely BAILCY INTERANTIONAL Group and P.T. DANATAMA MAKMUR.  It seemed that both companies were members of the RAJAWALI Group led by Mr. Peter Sondakh.

 

Initially, P.T. BP was headed by Mr. Drs. Darjoto Setiawan (50), a professional manager and a top-figure of the RAJAWALI Group, as the president director.  However, since July 2006 he has been replaced by Mr. Nicolas Bernadus Tirtadinata (49).  He used to be a director of P.T. BP.  In his daily activities, he is assisted by two directors namely Mr. Sun Alexander Yapeter (48) and Mrs. Ginawati (44), both have broad experience in industry and trading of clove flavored cigarettes.  However, we believed that the primemover of the companies is Mr. Peter Sondakh, a leading businessman in Indonesia.  He is the founder and chairman of the RAJAWALI Group, a large sized company group in the country.  The management has wide relation with private businessmen of home and overseas as well as with the government sectors.  So far, we did not yet come across reports on involvement of P.T. BP’s management in any fraudulent dealings and recorded at the court for detrimental cases.

 

We believe that P.T. BP is good for normal business transaction.  However, in view of the unstable economic condition in the country, we recommend to treat prudently in extending a loan to the company.
