LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Profile:

Financial Highlights:

During the Year, gross receipts were Rs. 602.000 millions as compared to Rs. 496.700 millions in the previous year, registering a growth of 21.20%. Exports during the year were Rs. 244.400 millions as compared to Rs. 214.000 millions in the previous year. Profit after tax has decreased to Rs. 8.800 millions as compared to Rs. 15.400 millions previous year mainly due to decline in other income from Rs. 20.300 millions to Rs. 11.500 millions.

Shifting of Office of Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA):

Directors are pleased to inform, the office or RTA i.e. In time spectrum Registry limited have moved to A-40, 2Nd floor, Naraina Industrial Artea, Phase-II, Near Batra Banquet Hall, New Delhi-110028 With better facilities to serve better.

Industry Structure and Development:

 

The subject is engaged in the business of agrochemicals. In Indian agro chemicals industry, there is equal presence of Multinational as well as Indian Companies. The MNCs have focused on high-end speciality products whereas Indian players have focused on generic and off-patent products. With the growth of Indian economy and the emphasis placed by the Government on improving productivity in the Agriculture sector, the agrochemicals industry has a pivotal role to play. The subject has built up large capacities and has many players resulting in high level of competition. Due to seasonal nature of the business and uncertainties involved in the coverage of monsoon, a large inventory is required to be maintained.

 

Outlook

Having regard to the thrust given by the Central Government to the agriculture sector and overall normal monsoon, the outlook for the current year 2007-08 appears to be good barring unforeseen circumstances.

Further, during the year, the subject got some new registrations of the products and one new product has been manufactured by the subject.

 

Risk, Concern and Threats:

The overall pesticides business is dependent on weather and sudden change in the weather affects the demand for the agrochemicals and this kind of risk will always remain in this industry. Due to the unusual increase in crude oil prices globally, the prices of raw materials have consequently gone up, this has adversely affected the input cost. However, the sale price has not improved in same proportion. Even though, the agrochemical industry plays a very positive role to increase the productivity of the agriculture but there is always a negative perception in the minds of the people and environmentalists about its effects on environment and agriculture produce. The subject has to maintain a large inventory and offers extended credit due to seasonality of agricultural operations and at times when the monsoon is not favourable, the subject suffers and has to incur high cost of interest. Foreign Exchange Fluctuations - Significant part of the turnover comprises of export. Falling Dollar value in terms of Rupees was a matter of concern to subject. Subject has started hedging measures for its foreign exchange fluctuation risk.

Dividend:

With a view to conserve the company’s resources directors have not recommended any dividend for this financial year.
