LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Operations 

During the business year 2005-2006, 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 fell from Rs.324.313 millions in the business year 2004-2005 to Rs.302.017 millions in the business year 2005-2006. The increase in profitability has been achieved primarily on account of better product mix and containment of costs. 
 
The future of Company looks bright. New products being developed are getting market acceptance. Many established surgeons have tried our 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 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 
 
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. Further the Company has obtained CE Certification for the sutures. The CE symbol and the reference number of the notified body denote that the product fulfils the basic requirements in accordance with the Medical Device Directive (MDD) 93 / 42 / EEC. 

 

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 decreased from Rs.324.313 millions to Rs. 302.017 millions however there has been improvement in profitability due to strategies adopted by your Company in 2005 and 2006, aimed at improving the sales cost. 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. 

 

Quality

 

Company has been consistently meeting the quality objectives of ISO 9001: 2000, ISO 13485:2003 and CE Certification. 

 
Product Performance 
 
The overall growth of business in the country has not been upto the desired levels because of restricted funding. The range of products has been steadily growing since 2005. 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 your 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.
