LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONS: 
 
 During the year, the Company has shown spectacular performance inasmuch as the sales turnover has increased from Rs. 388.500 Millions in 2006-07 to Rs. 3280.500 Millions in 2007-08, representing an increase of 744 %, and the profit after tax has gone up from Rs57.600 Millions to Rs238.100 Millions, representing an increase of 313 %. The carried forwarded losses have been wiped out. 

 

BUSINESS PROSPECTS: 


 During the year, the Company continued to show robust growth in all its key markets: private label in US and Europe, Institutional sales in Mainland Europe and Domestic markets and traditional business from the Middle East. In addition, the Company did very well in the new segments the Company entered through acquisitions, Viz. Marine Exports and Recipe products. The Company made substantial capacity enhancements during the year. 
 
 The Company has now become the largest company in the Frozen Foods & Vegetables business in India. The brand "Everfresh" acquired in November 2007, has shown excellent traction and the company is now the leader in the retail segment. The company introduced new products like Green Chholiya and Shredded Coconut in the market and the initial response has been encouraging. The booming domestic retail business is expected to grow exponentially in the coming few years across not only Metro and Mini Metro cities, but also in Tier I and Tier II towns. The Company is confident of its new domestic, own brands and its historical private label businesses becoming the growth engines in the coming years. 

 
 The brand "Karen Anand", dealing in premium range of processed food products, such as, Conserves, Mayonnaise, Sauces etc. has also been acquired by the company. This range has tremendous synergies with our frozen products and the Company expects significant growth due to this strategic partnership. This will increase sales not only in the retail chains, but also through the hospitality sector, where both the offerings give strong value propositions. 

 
 The Company has entered into Marine Food Business during the last quarter of the financial year and did considerable business in this vertical, having achieved turnover of about Rs.171 crores. It is expected that the Company will achieve substantial turnover in this vertical in the coming years. 

 
 In summary, the Company's traditional sources of business continue to show strong traction while entries into new verticals through acquisitions and incremental business from domestic and new product streams has a strong upside.

 

Performance Highlights


  The Company has achieved substantial growth during the year with the production and sales volumes and values recording substantial jump. After the acquisition of the Everfresh business from Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals on November 7t" 2007, the company immediately leased out 3 other plants and processed Green Peas from 5 plants in North India. Temptation Foods has thus emerged as the single largest player in the domestic frozen F&V business within a short span of 3 months. 

 
 There has also been a significant increase in the number of customers serviced, especially domestic customers, as a key part of the derisking strategy and for future growth.

 

 Realization per metric tonne has also recorded an increase due to better product mix, better raw material purchase strategy and economies of scale. It is also a result of refreezing and processing of semi-processed goods and job works. 

 
 The Company has also entered into two key areas of food processing this year: 

 
 1. Marine products

2. Conserves/Sauces/Dressings 

 
 Marine Foods Business: 

 
 As planned, the company has been eyeing the marine frozen food export business closely as it constitutes the single largest food vertical of exports valued at over US$ 1.9 billion. 

 
 The Government of India has also realised the enormous potential of the 8,000 Kms of coastline that India enjoys and is targeting a turnover of over US$5 billion in 3 years. 

 
 Keeping this in mind, the Company has acquired the businesses of three units located in Southern India Viz. Cochin, Vizag and Chennai. This gives us access to both the Western and Eastern coasts. 

 
 This is already the single largest vertical of the company this quarter with a turnover of about Rs 1720.000 Millions. 
 
 Despite the lower catches and landings seen this season, the company is confident that the business has huge potential and will be a significant business segment in the years to come. The business also includes several underlying export brands. 

 
 KAREN ANAND Brand: 


  In addition, the Company also bought the business of Karen Anand's Gourmet Kitchen as of January 1St 2008. This includes the brand "Karen Anand" which offers a wide range of conserves, jams, sauces, mayonnaise and dressings. 
 
 The brand has enormous acceptance at the retail level and is well recognised by consumers as a high end, quality product.
