The management of PG Foils Limited presents the analysis of performance of the company for the year 2005-2006 and its outlook for the future. The outlook is based on assessment of the current business environment. It may very due to future economic and other developments.

 

Industry Scenario

 

The year 2005-2006 was reasonable good for the domestic economy and in particulars the manufacturing sector. Large numbers of industries have performed well and there is a revival of demand in almost all sectors. The trend is expected to continue. The demand of Aluminium Foil in domestic market will remain positive in view of the following.

1. Global recognition of more and more Indian Pharma companies.

2. Low per capita consumption of House Foil. Economic growth will translate into increase in consumption.

3. Special programme of Govt. on Rural Health Awareness & Family Planning.

 

The present demand of Aluminium Foil is approximately 5000 MT and the entire demand met from domestic production. The demand of the Aluminium Foil by 2006 is expected to grow to about 6000 MT per annum, which can be met by surplus production capacity. Presently industry has surplus capacity of App. 2000 MT mainly due to entry of 4 new units in last three years.

 

Operational performance

 

For PG Foils Limited 2005-2006 has been a challenging year. The Company has effectively integrated its Product Mix to maximize the realization. Turnover & Income has grown by 26, 36% to Rs. 1167.774 millions. In a scenario of rising prices of raw materials consumables and other overheads, Company continue to maintain tight controls on material and overheads costs. In spite of use of high cost imported Aluminium Foil Stock company able to maintain pre tax profit before provision and keyman premium to Rs.67.879 millions. The company focused on strengthening its capabilities, while coping with the challenges of cut throat competition, declining operating margins and increasing customer expectations..

 

Financial Performance

 

Gross turnover for the year increased to Rs. 116.7.7 millions against Rs. 924.1 millions in last year.

Export Sale accounted for 2.87 % of Net turnover. Profit before extra ordinary items i.e. Keyman Insurance Premium & Provisions to Rs.67.9 millions compared to Rs.6.5.4 millions in last year. The operating margin reduced mainly due to delay in absorption of raw material price increase by customers and price reduction by new

Entrants in competition.

 

Other income decreased to Rs. 39.261 millions from last year Rs.40.723 millions mainly due to reduction in interest income. Capital Expenditure during the year Rs.10.375 millions mainly on replacement of machines in some sections Company contributed a total Rs.148.5 millions to the National Exchequer as Excise Duty

 

Resources & Liquidity

 

Company continues to maintain its conservative financial profile. Company Banked with IDBI Bank Limited for their working capital needs. Company has sufficient working capital limits of Rs. 400.000 millions from IDBI Bank Ltd concessional and extremely competitive interest rate. Cash Flow for less than 2 years is adequate to extinguish its entire debts timely. Company made most of purchases on cash basis at discounted rates.

 

Opportunities and outlook

 

The Opportunities have gained momentum due to installation of many Pharma units in Himachal Pradesh near to the existing site as compared to other competitor. In the next few years, there would be a flow of orders by Pharma industries due to release of ban by WTO. To meet the increasing demand, the company must gear-up with higher productivity and better project management expertise to remain as a forerunner in the Industry.

 

The company has to continue to be a Cost leader to protect its profit margin and market share in this highly competitive industry. The Product developed by company for overseas customer received approval for orders of App. 100 MT per Month.

 

Threats

 

With the Foil Industry showing signs of growth, number of new entrants already came and will be further coming in this sector resulting surplus capacity by end of March 2007. The Company has to cope-up with

these threats through a combination of cost leadership and project management expertise.

History

 

A unit for manufacturing AAC/ACSR Conductors used for overhead transmission of power was installed in the village Pipalia-Kalan in the year 1962 when it was not even electrified. This shows the farsightedness and enterpreneurship of the founder late Shri P.G. Shah, as his aim was to develop his own village people.
After Installation of the unit Prem Cables Pvt. Ltd. coinciding with the Govt. policy of rural industrialization, Prem Group gradually spread over and established various units and the latest addition to the Group was Aluminum Foil Plant-PG Foils Limited. This plant was launched for manufacture of Aluminium Foil in its full range of products.

 

It is the first wholly Indian Plant of the Country, having latest modern machinery and technical know-how. The well qualified experts are capable of taking any challenge thrown at them and they are eager to work on any new specification required by the customer. The aluminium foil is mainly used as packaging material and has proved to be the best of its kind because of its unique protective properties. It is moisture proof, gas proof, light proof and hygienic. It reflects 96% of light and gives a point of sale appeal. For these properties, the major consumer industry of aluminium foil obviously becomes the pharmaceutical industry which uses almost half of the aluminium foil produced in India. It is also used by confectionery and biscuits manufacturers, cigarette and soap industries, milk and milk product producers, photographic material manufacturers, tea & coffee manufacturers as the best, durable, protective and appealing packaging medium.

 

Subject has taken a long journey into the life of all Indians through it's versatile and extensive range of products and applications. For years now they have catered to several needs of the society. As a pouch material multiple laminates are used for storage of solids, liquids, powders, granules of drugs, foods, oils, chemicals, spices etc. Subject is licensed to produce 1,800 M/T of aluminium foil a year and are geared up to meet all market requirements with the help of devoted team of young and energetic technical and sales team led by their Managing Director Shri Pankaj P. Shah. Village Pipalia-Kalan a very small village having population of about 5000 persons, is industrially expanding fast but the medical and hospital facilities have not kept pace with the galloping growth rate of the population and industries. Hence with the inspiration created by Late Shri Parasraj G. Shah, it was projected to establish a 50 bedded general hospital named "PG Memorial Hospital" with all modern facilities. The foundations stone was laid down by H.E. the President of India and now the entire construction work of Hospital and Residential Quarters is complete. It is about Rs. 6.00 Crores project.

Projects

 

The company is expanding its operative production capacity for manufacturing aluminium foils from 1800MT to 3500MT by installing balancing equipments and modernization of the plant at the existing site at Pipalia Kalan in Distt Pali, Rajasthan.


Though the company has an installed capacity of 5000MT p.a., the operative capacity is restricted to 1800MT p.a. on account of various reasons, such as, mismatched capacity, ageing of plant, power tripping, and inadequate capacity of complementary machinery, higher scrap generation and higher power consumption. To overcome these problems the company has embarked upon an expansion cum modernization project which will technologically upgrade the existing plant and enhance the operative capacity by installing balancing equipments, thereby raising the operative capacity to 3000 Mt p.a.The advantage that will accrue on account of the expansion cum modernization plan include increase in operative production capacity, improved quality of finished goods and product mix, reduction in scrap generation and power consumption

 

As the Company is a running unit, the benefit from the proposed modernization cum expansion programme is likely to accrue gradually during the course of implementation of the project.

 

SWOT Analysis The major strengths of the proposed project of the company are expansion of existing capacity at low capital cost, change in product mix with a greater proportion of high value added foils, virtually no gestation period as the process of expansion and modernization is on-going, economies of scale, two decades of experience of the promoters in aluminium based industries, and large existing client base. Among the major weaknesses of the project is the fact that orders for the imported machinery is yet to be placed and that no firm arrangements have been made for exports.


The main opportunity available to the Company is tapping of the existing and growing demand for aluminium foils. The prime threats to the project include competition from existing and new entrants in the field, development of substitute products and the threat of obsolescence of machinery. The growth rate envisaged in the project as a result of the expansion cum modernization plan is 66.66% in the first two years, after which production would be maintained at 3000MT p.a.
