OVERALL PERFOMANCE

 

P.T. BRANITA SANDHINI (P.T. BS) was established in Jakarta on July 30, 1991 with an authorized capital of Rp. 500,000,000 issued and paid up capital of Rp. 100,000,000. The founding and shareholders of the company originally were Mrs. Brigitta Imam Rahayoe, SH and Mrs. Rita Tyastuti Taufik, both are indigenous businesswomen. The company notarial deed has been changed. In July 2008, the whole shares had been taken over by OLYMPIA INDUSTRIES., INC., of the USA and MONSANTO SINGAPORE COMPANY Pte., Ltd., of Singapore. On the same occasion the authorized capital was raised to Rp. 72,000,000,000 wholly issued and paid up. Concurrently the company status was changed to Foreign Investment (PMA) company facility. The deed of amendment was made by Mr. Bonardo Nasution, SH., was approved by the Ministry of Law and Human Right in its Decision Letter No. AHU-82924.01.02.TH.2008, dated November 6, 2008.

 

We observe that P.T. BS is affiliated with P.T. MONAGRO KIMIA engaged in the field of agrochemical manufacturing and P.T. SEMINIS VEGETABLE SEEDS INDONESIA engaged in the field of seed biotechnology, hybrid manufacturing.

 

P.T. BS started with operation in 1992 in trading and distribution of agrochemical products, hybrid corns, hybrid chili and others. It was appointed as a distributor for P.T. MONAGRO KIMIA products. Around 70% of its merchandising goods is manufactured by P.T. MONAGRO KIMIA, meanwhile the rest 30% is imported from Australia. P.T. BS’s merchandising goods are including isopropylame salt of glyphasate, herbicide formulation and others. Besides, P.T. BS is also distributed hybrid corns, hybrid chili and other hybrids products produced by P.T. SEMINIS VEGETABLE SEEDS INDONESIA. The above products are sold to various agricultural chemicals distributor shops, cooperative units and other through out the country. P.T. SEMINIS VEGETABLE SEEDS INDONESIA has transferred all assets to P.T. BRANITA SANDHINI, pursuant to an assets sale and purchase agreement dated 1 April 2008.

 

The transfer of assets has been approved by the shareholders of P.T. SEMINIS VEGETABLE SEEDS INDONESIA pursuant to a Shareholders Resolution in Liew of an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders dated 17 March 2008. P.T. BS is a biotechnology global company who has 2 manufacturing site in Tangerang and Mojokerto. One of the top herbicide company, now operating the site of seed manufacturing and making investment for 8 hectares of automated seed manufacturing site. We observe the operation of P.T. BS has been growing in the last three years.

 

Generally, demand for pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides has tended to decline in the last five years being caused by several causes including the sluggish public purchasing power in line with high Rupiah depreciation against US$ in 2001 causing pesticides counterfeiting. The declining pesticides sales are also caused by the lack of expansion of plantation areas. There are few expansion of plantation areas having been realized from expansion of agricultural companies or new investment. There is indication that the declining plantation areas are shown in the declining investment interest on plantation sectors and the low realization of the development projects by plantation companies obtaining license. The decreasing investment on plantation sector is also caused by the declining prices of the agricultural commodities in international markets. However, since end 2001 the prices of agricultural commodities in international markets have started increasing.    

 

Until this time P.T. BS has not been registered with Indonesian Stock Exchange, so that they shall not obliged to announce their financial statement. We observed that total sales turnover of the company in 2005 amounted to Rp. 203.5 billion rose to Rp. 214.5 billion in 2006 increased to Rp. 225.0 billion in 2007. The total sales turnover as from January to June 2008 amounted to Rp. 115.0 billion with a net profit of Rp. 6.9 billion and projected to go on rising by at least 4% in 2009. The company has an estimated total networth of at least Rp. 80.0 billion. We observe that P.T. BS is supported by foreign partner with has financially strong and sound behind it. So far, we did not heard that the company having been black listed by the Central Bank (Bank Indonesia).

 

The management of P.T. BS is led by Mr. Rahman Kurniawan (40) a professional manager with experienced in trading and distribution agrochemical products, hybrid corn, hybrid chili and others. But the primemover of the company is Mr. Gyanendra Shukla (48) a professional manager from the MONSANTO of the USA. He is also registered as president director of P.T. MONAGRO KIMIA. The management is handled by experienced staff in this business, having maintained a wide business relation with private businessmen at home and abroad as well as with government sectors. P.T. BRANITA SANDHINI and P.T. MONAGRO KIMIA was involved as defendant in controversial cases (bribery and levies) with Department Pertanian authorities of US$ 29,500 and US$ 373,990 in connection of BT cotton transgenic in South Sulawesi.

 

P.T. BRANITA SANDHINI is sufficiently fairly good for business transaction. However, in view of the unstable economic condition in the country we recommend to treat prudently in extending a loan to the company.
