LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONAL REVIEW: 

 
 During the year, the Company has achieved turnover of Rs.2020.748 Millions while the PAT is Rs. 170.454 Millions, as compared to the turnover of Rs. 1671.387 Millions and the PAT of Rs209.497 Millions in the previous year. Though the company has registered an impressive growth of 20.9% in sales, PBDIT has declined marginally due to higher input costs and production loss by flood at Surat Plant. To make it worse, higher provision for tax and Interest rates left the company with lower PAT of Rs.170.454 Millions as against Rs209.497 Millions in the previous year. Moreover, the management has made all efforts to keep its promise of increasing revenues and market share and the impact of the same would come in the next financial year. 

 
 The company has appointed C and F Agents all over India with a view to build up and strengthen its Distribution Network and Brand image. To suit the purchasing preference, needs and habits of Indian varied consumer segments, the company with the help of R and D Department, has launched wide range of package sizes with various flavours. To promote the sales, it also curtailed the price of toothpaste and started offering Toothbrush free with almost every pack. With an enhanced market share, especially in the Oral care segment and strengthened internal processes, the company proved its commitment to quality with the ISO 9001:2000 Certification. 

 
 ACHIEVEMENTS: 

 
 During the Year, the Company has been rewarded the prestigious ISO 9001:2000 certification for Quality Management System for development, manufacturing and supply of Toothpastes, toothpowders and Ayurvedic Medicines. In addition to that, it also received International Gold Star for Quality Award-Paris in recognition of outstanding commitment to Quality and Excellence. The recognition will go along way to establish AMAR as a Quality-Oriented organisation. The company will maintain its customer centric approach with emphasis on continuous improvement and commitment in the quality and value of the products. 

 
 NEW PROJECTS/EXPANSION: 

 
 DAMAN PLANT: 

 
 During the year, the company has expanded its installed capacity of Oral Care and Health Care from 12400 MT and 595 MT to 13400 MT and 645 MT respectively.

 
 SURAT PLANT: 

 
 Surat Plant has commenced production in the month of October 2006 and started manufacturing Ayurvedic Medicines and Beauty care products. The company has launched Amar GETUP (an ointment for backache and joints problems), Amar Pain Balm and few Ayurvedic health and beauty care products- Unfortunately, there were heavy floods in Surat that resulted in production loss along with damages to the Stocks as well as Machinery. However, insurance of stock and machinery compensated financial loss but production loss of 4 months could not be avoided. 

 
 DEHRADUN PROJECT: 

 
 The Company has established a state of the art manufacturing plant spread over 1 Lac Sq. feet of constructed area at Dehradun (Uttaranchal). It has also installed ultra modern machinery, to manufacture FMCG and Ayurvedic Products. The company has also set up a complete integrated R and D and quality control department to ensure enhancement of quality of existing products and development of new products. The production at Dehradun Plant would have started in the month of February, 2007 but it was delayed due to public litigation filed with Supreme Court against issuance of Pollution clearance certificate to any manufacturing facility in the Dun Valley. However, Supreme court has given favourable verdict in month of August 2007 to issue Pollution clearance certificate to all manufacturing facilities in Dehradun subject to Government guidelines of Pollution Control Board. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT: 

 
 INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:

 
 Indian FMCG-Market: 

 
 The FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the Indian economy with a total market size of Rs.80,000 crores (approx.). It has a strong. MNC presence and is characterised by a well established distribution network, intense competition between organised and unorganised segments, and low operational costs. Availability of key raw materials, cheaper labour cost and presence across the entire value chain gives India a competitive advantage. 

 
 Key developments: 

 
 The Indian FMCG Sector is no doubt registering. an up trend in growth and this: growth story will continue because of positive Fiscal Budget and Government's focus on development of Rural infrastructure, which is beneficial for FMCG Companies. Penetration level as well as per capita consumption especially in oral care and health care products like toothpastes, skin care, ointments, etc. is low indicating untapped market potential. Burgeoning Indian population, particularly the middle class and the rural segments, presents an opportunity to the makers of branded products to convert consumers to branded products. 

 
 In addition to these, the Indian government has taken various positive measures with a view to enable the FMCG Industry at attaining international competitiveness through lifting of quantitative restrictions, reduction in Indirect taxes e.g. CST, few relaxation in FBT, automatic foreign investments. All these factors resulted in an environment that fosters growth. 

 
 The organized retail sector has. also grown to a great extent in last 1 year. Many new national and local players have emerged. This posses great opportunities far small and mid size FMCG manufacturing companies as it makes distribution much easier. 

 

 OUTLOOK ON OPPORTUNITIES: 

 
The outlook for the bullish FMCG market is very positive and expected to continue with its stellar performance in the future. Lower penetration and consumption in the rural sector and middle income group provide tremendous potential for future volume growth. The FMCG Sector is expected to witness handsome growth in demand for FMCG products which is set to boom by almost 15% by 2005 and more. than 70% by 2015. 

 
Various state governments like Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and J and K have encouraged companies to set up manufacturing facilities in their regions through, a package of Fiscal Incentives. Uttarakhand government offers Excise Duty Exemptions, power concessions, capital subsidies and other incentives for setting up plant in its area. With a view to encash this opportunity, the company has set up a very big plant in Selaqui (Dehradun), Uttarakhand. This will give competitive edge to the company over its competitors in Domestic as well as international markets. 

 

The company has followed the strategy of wide range of package sizes including small sachets, pouches and prices to suit the purchasing preferences of India's varied consumer segments. It has appointed C and F Agents in almost every consumer of India and also been putting more focus on rural market. 

 
With the introduction of attractive marketing schemes, heavy advertisement and publicity and addition of few more products, Amar, one of the developing brand in FMCG market, is well set to enhance its growth in Indian as well as global Market.

 

Further the company has started an initiative to enter US as well as European markets. China had been the leading exporter of toothpaste to these countries but due to the quality fiasco in the middle of 2007, most of Chinese brands of toothpaste have been banned in U8 and Europe. This proves to be a great opportunity for Indian manufacturers to capitalize and Amar Remedies has already aggressively started marketing its toothpaste to US buyers. The company has already applied to the USFDA for its toothpaste. The company has already spoken to a lot of buyers for manufacturing their brands and is also looking at selling its own brands in the US markets. 

 
 OUTLOOK ON THREATS, RISKS AND CONCERNS:


 The Oral care market, especially Toothpastes, remains underpenetrated in India with penetration level below 45%. The industry is very competitive for both organised and smaller regional players. In a bid to increase its sales, the company has introduced heavy discounts on MRP for a combo pack of toothpaste. Despite being priced at the lower end of price spectrum, the company could not succeed to gain substantial market share. 

 

In the short term, changes in the tax structure such as introduction of FBT and HS Ed. Cess, increase in Service Tax, implementation of VAT and Excise based on MRP are likely to have an impact on the cost of sales and profit margin accordingly. 

 
The input costs have been steadily on the increase which poses a constant pressure on the company's margin. Being in a highly competitive market the company is not very flexible in increasing its selling price which builds further pressure on the margins. 

 
The biggest threat to the FMCG companies is the presence of MNCs which ensure new product launches in the Indian market, leaving the small players with stagnant or falling market shares. 

 
Moreover, the company has undertaken appropriate processes to regularly review risks and to mitigate to their impact I incidence into the best of its ability. 

 
 SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE: 

 
The company recorded Oral care sales of Rs.1138.762 Millions as compared to the last year's sales of Rs.1138.875 Millions. The Company has changed its marketing strategies, increased its sales promotional activities and even gone for heavy advertisements and publicity to boost up the sales. It has also expanded the installed capacities to meet the growing demand. As expected the consumers have shown tremendous confidence in the product quality and services, which the company would continue to consider its top priority.

 
 The sales in Health care segment also went up to Rs.332.949 Millions during the year constituting 16.48% of the total sales of Rs. 2020.748 Millions. The management has decided to put more emphasis on this segment, as the inclination of the global consumers towards Ayurvedic Health and Beauty care products have been increasing rapidly for the last few years. 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: 

 
 As such FMCG market is highly competitive and low penetrative, it becomes very difficult to maintain profit margin as there are constant pressures of increase in input costs and non flexibility of increasing selling price due to heavy competition, Despite this fact, the company has achieved turnover of Rs. 2020.748 Millions during the Year, registering a growth of 20.9% over the last year's turnover of Rs. 1671.387 Millions. PBDIT during the year is Rs.265.044 Millions which is lower by 4.55% over the last year of Rs.277.686 Millions. Consequently, PBT and PAT during the year has gone down to is Rs.2056.34 and Rs.170.454 Millions as against previous year's PBT and PAT of Rs.244.497 Millions and Rs. 209.497 Millions. The capacity utilisation during the year was at about 93.59% of Installed Capacity.

AS PER WEBSITE

 

Profile:

 

Along the path of civilization, and the changing needs of the emerging life styles, Ayurveda has a momentous role to play.

 

And its tryst with the modern world has just been set in motion by a resurgent India.

 

Even before the turn of the century, in the year 1984, an Indian enterprise, Swami Aushadalaya Private Limited was born to embark on a journey in Ayurvedic medicinal research and development. A name change resulted in AMAR Remedies Private Limited, and subsequently in 1995, AMAR Remedies Limited, came into being.

The first manufacturing facility of ARL was created in Surat, Gujarat. In response to a genuine consumer need, AMAR’s first product was a unique toothpaste.  At a time when every major brand available in the market used gelatine as an ingredient, thereby making their toothpaste non-vegetarian, AMAR Toothpaste made an important breakthrough by developing a gelatine-free formula. Thus, AMAR, the first ever ‘Vegetarian’ toothpaste was launched in the markets of Gujarat in 1991. Within a few years the brand was all over the Western markets of India, and by 1998, ARL extended the brand by launching AMAR Strong and AMAR Regular and AMAR White Toothpaste.

 

With its major thrust in toothpaste, a new plant was inaugurated by the company at Daman in 2001. Its progressive outlook and state-of-the-art manufacturing facility resulted in an immediate increase in capacity, and gave ARL the opportunity to manufacture more varieties of toothpastes for different segments.

Very soon, ARL started manufacturing more than 25 different brands and variants of toothpaste for local and export markets. ARL also began to produce regular cosmetic toothpastes, besides genuine herbal products. It found immediate success in selling to traders in African countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Sudan, and Tanzania, and also in countries like Dubai and Panama.

 

INFRASTRUCTURE

The cornerstone of expansion

 

Currently, ARL has two manufacturing plants at Surat and Daman and the 3rd plant is under construction at Dehradun.

 

The Surat Plant is a two-storied building. It manufactures Ayurvedic medicines for which the company has earned an FDA approval on 25 Ayurvedic and herbal products.


The Daman Factory is a sophisticated plant with modern machinery used to manufacture FMHG products and Ayurvedic medicines. It runs round the clock in multiple shifts, mainly manufacturing various types of Dental Products.
