LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

The Kolkata (West Bengal) based PCI Papers Limited was incorporated in 1987 as a private limited company. Later in 1994 it was converted into public limited company. The company is promoted by K S Bagrecha and P K Bhattacharya. It is chaired and managed by K S Bagrecha. It is involved in the manufacture of Rubber Chemicals and Coated Papers. 

 
The company came out with a public issue of 13,87,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each for cash at a premium of Rs 5 per share aggregating Rs 20.800 million in Jan'96 for the expansion cum diversification plan. It plans to expand the manufacturing capacity of Silicone Release Paper (SRP) from 285 tpa to 1005 tpa and proposes to diversify into manufacture of 1440 tpa of poly laminated SRP, 27 lakh Sq. mtr. p.a of Label Stock, 24 tpa of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) and Rs. 6.000 million nos. of Multi Stick Pads (MSP). 

 
It has entered into a technical transfer agreement with Bhaba Atomic Research Centre (BARC) for the manufacture of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA). Company achieve Gross Revenue to Rs.78.911 million in the year 1997-98 as compared to 64.760 million in the previous year, registering growth of 22%.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS: 

 
During the year under review, the company has recorded a turnover of Rs.187.039 Million as against Rs.204.139 Millions in the previous year, represented a decline of 8.38% over the last year. 

 
The Company continued to face increasing prices of main Raw Materials this year also. During the year the company took various measures for reducing the cost of production particularly by controlling wastages and overhead expenses etc. The company's sales and revenues were not commensurate with the projections due to massive increase in the price of the Petroleum Products in the International as welt as in domestic markets, which has directly affected the price of the basic inputs (e.g. L.D.P.E, Adhesive, other Chemicals) used by the company. However, the company increased the selling price of it's products but due to local market competition, it could not transferred the entire burden of such increase of price on the customers.

 

Overall Review: 

 
The Company's operations are broadly classified into 2 (two) business segments i.e. Paper and Chemicals. During the year under review it has recorded a turnover of Rs.187.039 Millions against projected turnover of Rs.227.026 Millions. Despite intense competition with unorganized sector, dumping of stock lot & off-cuts from oversees manufacturers; lack of growth in demand and increase in prices of raw material & consumables, the company has posted a marginal profit of Rs.1.311 Millions as against projected profit of Rs.2.661 Millions. The sales were remained below the projections because of shortage of funds as the revenues could not generated sufficient surplus to match with cash flows. The company has however not defaulted the payments of any dues to financial institution / Bank. 

 
Finance: 
 
Since, last couple of years, the company has been facing the burden of high interest cost, to overcome this problem, the company had approached to its Term Lending Institution for re-structuring the Term Liability and reduction of interest rate. The management is thankful to the financial institution, as the same has been granted. The Company is regular on making payments to IDBI as per the restructuring package. 

 
On the same line, the company has approached its working capital banker 'State Bank Of India' to grant relief and concession besides releasing of adequate and additional necessary working capital with a view to achieve the projected turnover & profitability. 

 
As a part of financial Re-Structuring, the Company has approached to State Bank of India for switch over entire banking operation from Kolkata to Nasik so as to better finance monitoring and better control of finance. This will ultimately reduce the administrative cost for the finance. 

 
Management has been facing hardship due to substantial amount have been blocked in receivable. 
 
Keeping in the view of the continuous increasing in the prices of the main Raw Material & in adequate working capital of the company it is very difficult to sustain in the long run without any support from the Financial Institution or from banker. 

 
Further more, delay in granting additional working capital requirement will hamper the long Term Viability of the project. 
 
Internal Control Systems and their adequacy: 

 
The company has established an internal control system which provides reasonable assurance with regards to maintaining proper financial and cost accounting record, economy in operation and efficiency, safe guarding the assets and facilitating reliability of financial and operational information. An audit Committee of Board of Directors with a majority of independent regularly reviewing the audit plans, significant audit findings, adequacy of internal control as well as compliance with accounting standards.
