LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Promoted by M R Bhansali and K R Bhansali, Goldiam International started exports of cut and polished diamonds and of plain and studded gold jewellery in 1986. The company was converted into a public limited company in Aug.'94. 
 
It undertakes jewellery-making in addition to diamond cutting and polishing. It has a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bombay, in an exclusive 100% export-oriented zone. Some of its products are gold and diamond-studded rings, light-weight American cluster rings, cocktail rings, channel set bands, pendants, diamond and colour studded bracelets, earrings, etc. 

 
The company has started manufacturing Platinum Jewellery, which is expected to give far better returns and increase profitability. During the year 1999-2000, the company has registered a growth of 45% and hence the directors are happy to inform the company could achieve this due to its reputation earned in the international market over the years and continued quality control measures. 

 
The company has enhanced its export and value addition by introducing Invisual Setting in Diamond Jewellery and Princess Cut Diamond Grooving Machinery. 

 
Goldiam Jewels Limited has become Subsidiary of Goldiam International Limited during the month of February 2005 and this is as a consequence of company's stake in Goldiam Jewels which has risen to 50.05%.

 

OPERATIONS: 
 
 The turnover for the year under review was Rs.1471.324 Millions. The net profit after provision for interest, depreciation and taxation is Rs.244.740 Millions compared to previous year's profit of Rs.242.177 Millions. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

 
Industry structure and developments: 

 
Jewellery has an ever increasing market abroad and Goldiam with its manufacturing facilities comparable to international standards has been able to capture a reasonable portion of the same. Opportunities are abundant for exports of Goldiam s products. With a view to augment revenue and thereby profitability Goldiam has decided to enter the domestic retail market, for Silver and CZ fashion accessories, which is having a booming business potential and with strategic and experienced partners joining hands, Goldiam is expecting its brand 'OLA Style Expressions' to capture a reasonable share of the domestic retail market with substantial profitability. 

 

Opportunities and threats: 

 
Goldiam believes that demographic factors such as increase in discretionary income, combined with growing number of women in work place are encouraging trends for the jewellery industry and provide a significant opportunity for Goldiam's growth. 

 
Diamond jewellery continues to enjoy a dominant position in the luxury market. Demonstrating this, USA which accounts for 50% of the world diamond trade, recorded a growth in retail diamond jewellery for the 10th consecutive year in 2005. Diamond jewellery sales rose to $33.7 billion, up 7 percent from $31.5 billion in 2004. 

 
Goldiam intends to keep pace with the world's conceptual jewellery design trends and manufacture technically improved highest quality standard jewellery. 

 
In the exports market the Company is looking at other large international markets like Russia and Japan. Besides, the Company is working towards improving the retail mix of the business by selling more directly to existing retailers and increasing the number of retailers. 

 
Another opportunity that can take the Company into higher growth trajectory is the Company's entry into retail of fashion accessories in India through Ola Style Expressions. The Company expects a rapid roll out of stores in the coming year. 

 
The threat for the Company include increase in gold prices, fashion trends and competition. 

 

Outlook: 
 
The outlook for the Company is encouraging. The Company expects the export business to be on high growth trajectory in the coming year. The Company's retail foray also has the potential to grow and utilize the Company's strong balance sheet to create shareholder value.
