LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

The financial results given above are indicative of the progress made by the Company mainly as result of certain major repairs and replacement of worn out machinery parts in the previous year. The capacity of the plant increased by a great extent resulting into increased production and sales. The plant was shut down for annual maintenance from 8th to 22nd April' 2005 only as compared to last year when the plant had to be closed in June, July and also in September for boiler repair. With a view to improve the working of the plant the Company proposes to continue with the replacement and substitution of the worn out and inoperative parts in the current financial year i. e. 2006- 07. There has been significant improvement in the earning of revenues as the operations increased by 28.77 percent. The following table of production and sales for the current and the previous year are indicative of the improvement in the production and sales.

 

FINANCE

 

After repaying the loan with the interest to the State Bank of India as reported last year the company did not take any loan either from any Banks or Financial Institutions. One of the Director Shri Sachiv Sahni has advanced funds to the Company, that too interest free and also the amount lying to the credit of late Shri S. P. Sahni, (erstwhile Chairman and Managing Director which was transferred to the S. P. Sahni Trust Account created by the deceased under his will) on which no interest was paid supported by its own generated funds from its operations, have been utilised for running the business. The out-standing amount standing to the credit of Shri Sachiv Sahni and The S. P. Sahni Trust as on 31.03.2006 is Rs. 3.807 millions and Rs. 1.828 millions respectively. Inspite of the shortage for working capital, the Company has been able to increase the turnover from Rs. 123.400 Millions to Rs. 167.400 Million during the current year there-by generating gross profit of Rs. 15.017 millions against Rs. 9.349 millions in the previous year.

 

Industry Structure and Development:

 

The Company is manufacturing gelatine used mainly in Pharmaceuticals and Foods. Hard Shell Gelatine is used for manufacturing capsules and Soft Shell Gelatine in foods. DCP is a by product of Gelatine, a Nutritious Cattle Feed.

 

The total yearly production of Gelatine in India is about 10500 Mts of which the contribution of the Company is 6 To 7%. Plans are in the offing to increase the Company's share in production to 10% of the total from the next financial year.

 

Gelatine Industry in India :

 

The Industry recorded a growth of 35.66% during the financial year ended 31/03/2006. The Company during the period under report recorded an Increase in Sales Turnover to Rs.167.400 Millions against that of the previous year Rs.123.400 Millions.

 

The Soft Shell Gelatine, Low Bloom Gelatine and by-product DCP manufactured by the Company are well accepted in the market.

 

The raw material suppliers do not allow any credit, which was available earlier and on the contrary the company has to give 30 to 45 days Credit to its customer with the result profitability gets affected adversely.

Company Profile

 

India is one of the world's largest exporters of crushed bones and Ossein, the basic raw materials for high grade Gelatine. This easy availability of quality raw material motivated us at subject to set up a plant which could manufacture the various grades of Gelatine according to international standards.

 

From the late sixties to the early seventies, two plants had already been set up in India, one with French expertise and the other with U.K. assistance. As a result, people with substantial experience in the gelatine industry were available. The need of the hour was, therefore, to set up a plant with the latest technology and machinery of the highest standards.

 

They have a well qualified technical team and leading them is their Chief Factory Technical Manager, who has around 30 years of experience in the field and has been trained in UK, France and Belgium.

 

The Latest Technology at C.J.

 

For this they decided to approach G.T. Gelatine technology of the U.K. to assist us in the purchase of the equipment, as well as the plant layout and the latest manufacturing technology.

 

At the head of G.T. are john Gregory, M.B.E., T.D. and Ken Thomas B.Sc, C.Chem, F.R.S.C both of whom are recognised internationally as experts in the Gelatine field, and who continue to provide us with valuable assistance.
