LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

The company was incorporated on 29th May 1992 under the name and style of "Indo Dutch Foods Limited" and registered with the Registrar of Companies, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh at Jalandhar having Company Registration Number 12321.  Subsequently on 29th July, 1992, the name of the company was changed to “Agro Dutch Foods Limited”.

 

With effect from 8th January, 2001 the name of the company was changed to Agro Dutch Industries Limited.

 

Subject was incorporated as a public limited company, jointly promoted by Mr. Malvinder Singh and Punjab Agro Products Development. The company was established with a production capacity of 12,000 tons of mushroom per annum. It commenced commercial production in the year 1994. A public issue of Rs.78.7 mn was made in 1994 for partly financing its 100% EOU, set up for the manufacture of canned white button mushrooms.

 

Operations 
 
The company had sales of Rs.1379.300 millions during the year as compared with Rs.1444.600 millions last year, with the corresponding profits before tax of Rs.125.388 millions as compared with Rs.188.404 millions last year. The sales and profits during this financial year are low due to the fact that company was in process of increasing its mushroom growing capacity, the captive power plant was commissioned in the first quarter of 2005-06. Due to the technical and logistics requirements for the inter connectivity in cooling system and other utilities, the plant had to run at partial capacity for the four months. The company has not been able to resume normal operation due to ongoing expansion work. The return from the expansion projects in mushrooms will begin to reflect in the results from the Financial year 2006-07. 
 
 Expansion 
 
Company undertook the expansion of mushroom growing capacity from 36,000 TPA to 50,000 TPA, setting up of individual Quick Freezing (IQF) of mushrooms, new compost making facilities, additional mushroom processing facilities. The company has already increased mushroom growing capacity to 40,000 TPA and completed the setting up of Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) Plant. The mushroom growing capacity would further enhanced to 50,000 TPA during the current financial year. 
 
Company's tin cans are appreciated by the food processing/export industry, but due to capacity constraints, Company was not in a position to sell empty cans to other food processing industries in India. To meet this demand, Company has already taken effective steps to double its can making capacity by way of setting up a new can making unit with an installed capacity of 6000 tonnes per annum near Chenai. The required plant and machinery has already been ordered and the unit is likely to go into production by February/March 2007. 
 
 Future Plans 
 
In keeping with the fast emerging trend the world over to use the food cans with Easy Open Ends (EOE), it had become imperative for your Company to consider manufacture of EOEs. Inasmuch as the capacities of EOE manufacturing plants are very large compared to our captive requirement, it has been thought prudent to set up an international scale EOE plant for our captive consumption as well as outside sale of EOEs, both in domestic as well as export markets. The cost of the project has been estimated at Rs.557.900 millions which is proposed to be financed by way of a term loan of Rs.430.000 millions and balance from internal accruals. 

 

Rights Issue 
 
The Right issue of INR Rs. 14780000 equity shares of Rs.10/- each for cash at a premium of Rs.15/- per share was opened for subscription on 30th December 2005 and closed on 30th January 2006. The Right issue was fully subscribed. The basis of allotment of shares was finalized in consultation with the Bombay Stock Exchange Association Ltd. The shares of the company have been listed on National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange. The proceeds of Rights Issue are being utilised for the expansion activities undertaken by the Company as per the letter of offer.  

 

Fixed Assets

 

The company’s fixed assets of important value include land, building – factory and non-factory, plant & machinery (imported and indigenous), vehicles, furniture & fixtures and computers.
