OPERATIONS

The domestic market for Color Picture Tubes (CPT) grew from approx. 10.6 million tubes in 2005-06 to approx 15.3 million tubes in 2006-07 (including export of TV sets and order from Tamilnadu government) registering a growth of 44%. Healthy GDP growth and the order for two arid a half million TV sets by the Tamil Nadu government led .to this strong growth in demand.

 

The Company's production increased from 5.42 million color picture tubes in 05-06 to 8.4 million color picture tubes in 06-07. The sales volumes in the domestic market during the period under review were higher at 7.04 million CPTs against 3.78 million achieved in the previous year. The company commenced commercial production during the period under review at its two new manufacturing units and incurred losses during the first year of their operations.

 

Prices in the domestic market continued to fall as CPT manufacturers based overseas pushed Supplies into the Indian Market. .

 

 

DEBT RESTRUCTURING

Delays in project implementation and ramp-up led to cost overruns in the two new Manufacturing lines set up by the company. Insufficient accruals coupled with cost overruns Resulted in delays in servicing of loans and tight liquidity. The company had approached its Lenders with a debt-restructuring proposal under the CDR mechanism that has now been approved by the CDR Cell. The Scheme shall be given effect to in the books of account after the Company receives the approval letters from the lenders.

 

 

 

OUTLOOK

The Indian economy continues to be on a sustained higher economic growth path and they, therefore, expect the domestic TV market to remain buoyant in the coming year. Demand for 21" full flat TV's continues to show high growth in the domestic market. The company is the only manufacturer of these tubes in the country and expects to benefit from this growing demand

in coming year.

 

The company has created flexibility to manufacture both large and mid size tubes at one of its new units which encountered low capacity utilization on account of slow growth in demand in the domestic market for large size CRTs. This shall help the company in enhancing the capacity utilization of this unit. .

 

At its second new unit the company has created flexibility to-manufacture both small and mid size CRTs for the export markets. It is expected that this shall enable the company to exploit fully the production capacity of this unit.

 

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Paramount Capfin Lease Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, dealing in investments, has incurred a loss of Rs.0.057 Million for the year ended 31st March 2007. The results of the company are attached to this report, along with the statement specified in Section 212 of the Companies Act, 1956.

 

Blue Bell Trade Links Pvt. Ltd is also a subsidiary of the Company. No activity was undertaken in the company and it incurred expenses of Rs 0.037 Million during the year ended 31s March 2007. The results of the company are attached to this report along with the statement specified, in Section 212 of the Companies Act, 1956.

 

During the fifteen month period ended 30th June 2007 (2006-07) the company set up two new manufacturing units (Lines 4 & 5). The performance for the financial year 2006-07(15 months) has been impacted by cost overruns and delayed stabilization of these Lines 4 & 5 along with lower than estimated demand for large size color picture tubes (CRTs). Coupled with large debt repayment obligations, this led to a tight cash position within the company thereby preventing the company from taking full benefit of market dynamics. .

 

The company had submitted a proposal to its bankers for Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR), which on implementation would improve the liquidity position going forward. The Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Cell has now approved the financial restructuring scheme of the Company with effect from 01st January 2007 The Scheme shall be given effect to in the books of account after the Company receives the approval letters from the lenders.

 

With the implementation of the CDR proposal, the management expects to be able to utilize its production capacities more effectively and thereby take better advantage of the domestic market. Besides this, steps initiated by the company for efficient utilization of financial 'resources will further bolster its liquidity position.

 

 

Market

Color TV display devices are of two kinds: Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) or color picture tubes (CRTs) of the type manufactured by the Company and Flat Panel Displays (FPDs) like LCDs and Plasma panels.

 

While color TV demand in developed economies like USA and Western Europe is moving from CRTs to FPDs, CRT TV demand continues to remain strong in buoyant emerging economies. The global CPT demand is estimated at 120 million and is expected to decline gradually.

 

 

Domestic

The domestic market for Color Picture Tubes (CPT) grew from approx. 10.6 million tubes in 2005-06 to approx 15.3 million tubes in 2006-07(including export of TV sets and order from Tamilnadu Government), thus registering a growth of 44%. Healthy GDP growth and the order for two and a half million TV sets by the Tamilnadu Government led to this strong growth in demand.

 

The Company's production increased from 5.42 million color picture tubes in 2005-06 to 8.4 million-color picture tubes in 2006-07 (15 months). Sales volumes in the domestic market in the period under review were higher at 7.04 million CPTs against 3.78 million achieved in the previous financial year. Consequently, the company's domestic market share also increased from 36 per cent in 2005-06 to 46 percent in 2006-07.

 

Prices in the domestic market continued to fall as CPT manufacturers based overseas pushed Supplies into the Indian Market.

 

 

Manufacturing

Samtel Color, being India's largest integrated picture tube manufacturer, offers a wide-product portfolio comprising 14", 15", 20", 21"SSP and 21" & 29"Super Flat CPTs.

 

The company now has 5 production lines with a combined capacity of atleast 10.2 lacs CPTs per month. Two new lines for production of 1.2 million 29" flat tubes and 2.5 million 21" super flat tubes have commenced production during the year at Ghaziabad and Kota.

 

In 2006-07, Samtel Color produced 8.4 million CPTs, which were significantly higher than 5.42 million, produced in 2005-06 registering an annualized growth of 44%.

 

 

Cost reduction and efficiencies

The Global CPT industry is characterized by continuously falling prices. The year under review has witnessed price drops in both the global and domestic markets leading to pressure on margins. In such a dynamic environment, they strongly believe that continuous cost reduction will be critical to maintaining a leadership position in the market and meeting the challenge posed by low cost imports. It is this conviction, which has driven the company to initiate several cost saving and productivity enhancing activities across functions.

 

Samtel Color has implemented Total Quality Management (TQM) practices to reduce costs, improve throughput and reduce inventories - all of which involve cell-level as well as company-wide Kaizen activities.

 

Six Sigma initiatives are being driven around the business to achieve higher levels of process capabilities. Initiated six years ago, Six Sigma is now intrinsic to the company's business and has helped in driving down waste, improving quality, cost and time performances across functions. In the process, they have trained many black and green belts that lead and work on various Six Sigma projects across different operations of the company.

 

The company has standardized, quality benchmarks across its product portfolio to help improve product capabilities. To help it retain it's leadership position through continuous new product innovation, they have developed a well-structured, end-to-end mechanism for product development under which the marketing and operations teams work together to develop products as per specific customer needs. A single-window customer interface process has helped them ensure that customers are closely associated with all their product improvement, product development and product delivery initiatives.

 

Bill of Materials (BOM) is the largest component of their cost and it's effective management is critical to business profitability During the year under review, their ratio of Bill of Material (BOM) to Sales was adversely affected due to a steep fall in prices of tubes resulting in pressure on margins. The company has followed a very aggressive strategy of across the board reduction   in cost of all inputs through continuous renegotiations, alternate sourcing, value engineering and product/process redesign.

 

 

Research and Development (R&D) .

Their strong R&D capability has helped them always remain the first movers in the domestic market with customized, innovative and competitive new products and retain their leadership position in the market. Over the years, their in-house team has been responsible for the design and launch of the 14", 21" and 20" conventional CPTs & 21" True Flat CRTs in the domestic market apart from several types of Deflection Yokes and Electron Guns. During the year under review, they have developed and successfully launched the 15" OPT that has been well received in the market.

 

In order to address the growing market for large area flat panel displays, Samtel Color has set up a dedicated team and facility to develop Plasma Display Panels. Development of a 42" standard VGA plasma display panels has been completed. The company has now started the development of an even larger size plasma display panel in view of the changing market outlook for such displays.

 

Research work on development of Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) is continuing satisfactorily at the "Samtel Centre for Display Technology" located at IIT, Kanpur. The Company has promoted this Centre in collaboration with NT, Kanpur and Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India.
