OVERALL PERFOMANCE

 

Initially named P.T. RIAU PULP & PAPER, the company was established in 1989 with an authorized capital of Rp 100,000,000.-, issued and paid up capital of Rp 20,000,000.-. The original founding shareholders are Mrs. Tinah Bingei, Mr. Ir. Frits Irawan and Mr. Ir. Yusak Hartono, they are Chinese Indonesians. In 1992 the company renamed P.T. RIAU ANDALAN PULP & PAPER (P.T. RAPP) and its authorized capital was raised to Rp 500,000,000,000.-, issued capital to Rp 100,000,000,000 and the paid up capital to Rp 10,000,000,000.-. In 1994 the authorized capital was again raised to Rp 2,000,000,000,000.-, issued and paid up capital to Rp 1,417,500,000,000.-. Lastly, in February 2007, the authorized capital was again raised to Rp. 3,000,000,000,000.-, issued and paid up capital to Rp. 2,003,204,000,000.- The deed of amendment was made by Mrs. Linda Herawati, SH., a public notary in Jakarta under Company Registration Number W7-01312.HT.01.04.TH. 2007, dated February 08, 2007.

 

Since then the shareholders of P.T. RAPP are  ASIA PACIFIC RESOURCES INTERNATIONAL HOLDING Ltd., of Bermuda-Berau, P.T. TANOTO INTERNATIONAL PERKASA Corp., and P.T. RAJA GARUDA MAS PULP RAYN AND PAPER, both of Indonesia.  P.T. RAPP is a member of the APRIL Group or the RAJA GARUDA MAS Group, a large business group headed by Mr. Sukanto Tanoto AKA Tan Sui Hang. The group members have engaged in rubber glove manufacturing, woodworking, oilpalm plantation and palmoil refinery, industrial estate development, banking, office block rental management, iron and steel industry, logging, trading and other business activities.

 

P.T. RAPP is dealing with pulp industry, managing a plant in Pangkalan Kerinci, Kecamatan Langgom, Kampar, Riau Province. The construction of the plant started since 1992 by two stages. In the first stage P.T. RAPP has a production capacity of 500,000 tons per year including its chemicals production chlorines and caustic soda of 50,000 tons each per year. It has absorbed a total investment for the first stage of Rp 2,970.8 billion coming from company's capital of Rp 1,417.5 billion and the rest from loan. The second or expansion plant with a production capacity of 500,000 tons pulp, 600,000 tons paper, chlorines and caustic soda of 50,000 tons each per year. The second development has absorbed a total investment of Rp 1,710.6 billion coming from company's capital of Rp 598.7 billion and the rest from loan.

 

P.T. RAPP had been operating commercially since 1995 and now it has an installed capacity of 820,000 tons per year, including its expansion unit. It got a license from BKPM in 1993 to manage Forest Industrial Estate (HTI) of 280,500 hectares in 10 locations in Kampar area, Pangkalan Kerinci, Riau, while its paper manufacturing unit was handed over to its affiliated P.T. RIAU ANDALAN KERTAS (P.T. RAK), its plant is located at Kawasan Industri Kampar Pangkalan Kerinci, Pekan Baru, Riau.  The plant started production commercially since mid-1999 with a production capacity of 350,000 tons per year. P.T. RAPP and P.T. RAK got electric energy supply from P.T. RIAU PRIMA ENERGI, also a member of the RGM Group. Some 65% of the products is exported and the rest is sold locally mainly to P.T. RAK.

 

Mr. Congizio P. Munoz, environmental manager of P.T. RAPP disclosed that from HTI of 280,509 hectares which was effective only 191,700 hectares, conservation area (54,000 ha) and enclave, infrastructure, etc.,  (34,800 ha). Of the effective land has been planted with acacia (pulp basic stuff) since 1993 and until December 2000 totaled 82,064 ha., while 109,672 ha. will be planted. P.T. RAPP needs acacia wood of 5.85 million cu.m per year to fulfill the needs of pulp plant which the capacity is now 1.3 million tons per year. Large portion of acacia wood has been supplied by its owned HTI and the other coming from joint concession with P.T. Wananugraha Bima Lestari, P.T. Titian Tata Pelita, P.T. Sumatera Sinar, P.T. Perawang Sukses and P.T. Bukit Raya Maluku. 

 

Beside the above positive news there is also a negative information against P.T. RAPP. In July 2000 it was accused to seize 87 hectares land owned by 31 families (KK) of Kerinci, Riau, for industrial forest-estate (HTI) project. Mr. Lukman, a public figure of Pangkalan Kerinci said that the above 87 hectares land have not yet been compensated by P.T. RAPP. He said the people claim for compensation of Rp 10,000.- per m2, while P.T. RAPP will only pay the empowerment compensation of Rp 3.75 million per hectare. The land dispute has yet been settled to date.

 

Other negative news was that in the end of March 2001, P.T. RAPP was accused to absorb stolen wood from 800 hectares forest-estate owned by P.T. ARARA ABADI (a member of the SINAR MAS Group). The case came from the stealing of acacia mangium wood plantation owned by P.T. ARARA ABADI by persons who claimed themselves under the names of cooperatives in Riau. The stolen wood was sold using a document of Surat Angkutan Kayu Rakyat (People Wood Transporting Permit) and being absorbed by P.T. RAPP. According to Mr. Nur Mahmudi (former Minister of Forestry) the stealing and absorbing of illegal wood had been doing since 1998, causing the state loss at least Rp 400 million because no collecting of Forest Resources Provision Fund. But P.T. RAPP considered that the accusation was very premature and full of business competition.  In May 2001 P.T. RAPP again was alleged to involve in manipulation of Reforestation Fund (DR) and forest contribution (IHH) of Rp 680.0 billion since 1999 to 2000. But Mr. Protasius Daritan, SH, president director of P.T. RAPP refused and the company used its owned fund since the early 1993 and not a single cent received or used the DR fund. The case is not clear, so far, and still under investigation of Attorney General office.

     

The company plant utilization has reached 100% with a capacity of 1.8 million per annum out of installed production capacity of 2 million tons p.a. Meanwhile, its paper making plant managed by P.T. RIAU ANDALAN KERTAS (P.T. RAK) has a production capacity of 350,000 tons p.a. Some 75% of P.T. RAPP's export from 2002 to date has been coming from the sales of pulp and the rest is from paper export. She went on to say that the international price of pulp has been rising between US $ 420 to US $ 450 per ton of which the price of the last two years was US $ 300 per ton due to an over supplies.

 

In September 2005, P.T. RAK planned to merge into P.T. RAPP but the plan has yet to be realized up to this time.  In January 2006, P.T. RAPP thirdly gained a Golden Flag Award for its high achievement in Working Saffety and Health Management System Audit 2006 and Zero Accident Award.  On 13 March 2006, P.T. RAPP received a certificate of Industrial Forestry Conservation (PHTL) from Indonesian Ekolabel Institution (LEI).  That event ws attended by Mr. MS Kaban, the Minister of Forestry, Mr. Rachmat Witoelar, the Minister of Environment and Mr. Emil Salim and environmental export.

 

Up to December 2005, the industrial forestry areas of P.T. RAPP reached 254 thousand hectares consisting of own forestry 150 thousand hectares and the balance is of other business partners.  Besides, P.T. RAPP is also collecting timbers of the villagers to meet the rest.  Another product of the company is pure honey produced by villagers through community development program.  In September 2006, P.T. RAPP allocated a fund of Rp. 30 billion for community development program and environmental conservation.  Besides, P.T. RAPP tries to increase the villagers incomes by involving 9,800 families to plant acacia trees in an area of 26,000 hectares.

 

The company is neither public listed nor bond issued company.  Therefore, the company has no obligation to publish financial statements publicly.  But we estimate the total sales turnover in 2004 amounted to Rp 4,780.0 billion increased to Rp 5,340 billion in 2005  and rose again to Rp. 5,920.0 billion in 2006.  It is estimated the operation in 2006 yielded an estimated net profit at Rp. 560.0 billion and the company has an estimated total networth at around Rp. 2,350 billion.  It is projected the total sales turnover in 2007 will increase sharply by 12% due to the increasing price of pulp in the international market.

 

In Mid 2004, P.T. Bank MANDIRI Tbk., announced that P.T. RAPP and its two affiliated companies namely P.T. RIAU ANDALAN KERTAS (P.T. RAK) and P.T. RIAU PRIMA ENERGI (P.T. RPE) were registered as big bad debtors in line with evidences found by the Supreme Audit Agency (BKP).  Total debts of P.T. RAP in that bank was Rp. 929.33 billion, P.T. RAK’s debts of Rp. 152.50 billion and P.T. RPE of Rp. 688.29 billion.  However, these three members of the RAJA GARUDA MAS Group are appraised to pay their debts smoothly.

 

Since February 2007, P.T. RAPP is headed by Mr. Rudy Fajar (38) as the president dirctor being assisted by three directors namely Mr. Funadi Wongso (39), Mr. Thomas Handoko (40) and Mr. Lim Wi Lin (37).  However, we believed that the primemover of the company is Mr. Sukanto Tanoto alias Tan Sui Hang (58), a leading businessman in the country.  In mid 2006, one of foreign business magazines (Forbes), reported that Mr. Sukanto Tanoko is one of wealth businessman in Indonesia with assets of US$ 2.8 billion.  However, total debts of the RGM Group’s company members are also huge reaching US$ 1.5 billion.  Mr. Tanoto has wide relation private businessmen of home and overseas as well as with the government sectors. As far as business is concerned the management has never involved in any fraudulent dealings or detrimental cases being settled in local district court.

 

We, therefore, recommend to treat prudently in extending any new loans to P.T. RAPP and an adequate collateral from the shareholders is highly required.
