LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Company Profile:

 

With a view to conserve the resources of the company, the Director do not recommend any dividend during the year.

 

Operations

Sales of Rs. 1257.900 Millions during the year under review was higher compared to sales in the previous year of Rs. 870.100 Millions mainly on account of increased business from existing large and medium sized customers.

During the year under review the company had taken over the assets relating to H and R Business of Bayer Industries Private Limited effective 01.04.2004.

 

Finance

 

The Company continues to enjoy term loan and working capital facilities with HongKong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited.

 

Fragrance

The FMCG  segment showed signs of revival during the last quarter of the year 2004. Some of the key categories like detergents and shampoos grew by 11% and 7% respectively in volume terms. However, the entire segment has been adversely affected by steep increase in the input cost particularly the Detergent manufacturers. The year also saw strong rivalry amongst the major players with large price cuts across categories. As a result of this there has been an increase pressure on the company to bring down the selling price of fragrances to support it’s customers.      

 

The outlook for 2005 looks bright based on the macro economic indicators and also sign of revival in the FMCG. The growth of the beauty care segment will lead to opportunities in the skin care and other aspiration products. The company also anticipates a growth in the personal wash segment during the year especially with the medium and regional players.

 

Flavours

New entrants like Lotte and ITC in food industry are expected to expand the market and large capacity additions are being planned in confectionery, Bakery and Savoury segments by local family run business houses. These factors would increase the output by 20-30% in all categories.

 

Branded snacks segment is expected to grow at the cost of unorganized sector and more multinationals and local companies are putting up new facilities for branded snacks. As the segment is growing exponentially at the rate of 20-30% there would be positive improvement on flavours market.

 

As the company enjoys strong equity with major Bakery, Confectionery, Beverages and Savoury Customers, it is expected to get exponential growth rate in all categories of food industry.

 

Fixed Assets

  • Buildings
