LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

The Subject is a joint venture between Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation and two renowned Japanese companies - Nitta Gelatin and Mitsubishi Corporation. It produces ossein, a chemical used to manufacture gelatin (mostly for photographic use) and dicalcium phosphate (used in animal feed) from crushed animal bones. It began commercial production in 1979. 

 
 The plant capacity to manufacture ossien was initially 3300 tpa and that of DCP was 6700 tpa. Ossein capacity was increased to 5000 tpa and of DCP to 11000 in 1992-93. In 1993-94, the company undertook a project for liming of ossein. 

 
 In 1995-96, the first phase of the liming project was completed. The company is setting up a unit for the manufacture of 2000-tpa gelatine with the technical collaboration of Nitta Gelatin, Japan. The project cost is Rs 700.000 Millions For the third time in succession, the company received the Top Export Award for Ossein for 1994-95 from CAPEXIL.

   
 During 1996-97, the trial project of Liming Of Ossein was restarted on Feb.'97 with an installed capacity of 5 MT per day, due to delay in the previous year. The Gelatine project is also under implementation due to delay in respect of the land acquired, but since the company has received allotment of 13 acre plot for the project in the KINFRA Export Promotion Industrial Park in Kakkanadu. 

 
 Trial run production of Limed Ossein commenced in Feb.'97 and the construction of the Gelatine Project was completed as per schedule. A new subsidiary by name of Bamni Protiens Private Limited was incorporated in December 1997 with an authorised capital of Rs 30.000 Millions. 

 
 During 1998-99, the company's Ossein division got ISO 9002 certification from KEMA, Netherland. Also 2000MT Gelatin Plant at Kakkanad commenced commercial operation from 8th March, 1999. It was delayed much and the actual project cost came to Rs. 837.300 Millions as against projected cost of Rs. 778.200 Millions. 

 
 The Company's business was adversely affected due to madcow disease in Europe, however the clearance given by the European Union for import with restriction is expected to show some signs of recovery. The company with the help of Collaborators is planning to make investments in Gelatine plants to the extent of Rs.50.000 Millions and is exploring ways and means of raising the requisite funds to maximum advantage including sourcing from Foreign Banks/Institutions.

 

PERFORMANCE 
 
 Sales increased by 34.4% over previous year to Rs.1312.300 Millions as a result of increased demand of Ossein from collaborators and also better sales realisation of DCP. The production at Ossein Division increased by 48% and at Bamni Proteins Ltd. (BPL), the subsidiary Company, by 25.29%. This year the Company changed its drying operations from Furnace Oil to Firewood except in critical areas resulting in substantial savings. The profit before tax is Rs.72.183 Millions as against a loss of Rs. 36.564 Millions during the previous year. Even though the company has brought forward lossess, the company has to pay an amount of Rs.8.099 Millions Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) which can be setoff in future tax liability. The achievement of 2006-07 can be attributed to the strength of their brand and strong, enduring customer relationships, backed by the commitment of collaborators M/s. Nitta Gelatin Inc., Japan. The approvals received from two international regulatory agencies - United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) from USA and European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines (EDQM) from Europe helped the company to increase its exports to USA and Europe and also to Indian customers who are exporting their products to USA and Europe. 

 
The company is making all out efforts to further improve the performance by increasing the yield and reducing production cost. To identify possible areas of cost reduction and to monitor improvement activities closely, groups of employees have been constituted for each area of operation. 

 
The Company sold 1812 MT of Gelatin in the export markets such as Japan, Iran, USA, Canada, Turkey, Thailand, Netherlands, Singapore etc. and 847 MT in the domestic market. Altogether, the turnover increased by 34.4% registering revenue growth by 38.13% over 2005-06. The continued patronage of their valued customers demonstrates their confidence in their brand. The increased turnover gives credence to the company's ability to keep growing in most competitive gelatin market as they continuously update and respond to the changes in consumers preference. The company is implementing a project for increasing the production of gelatin by 10% by adding certain balancing equipments and improving efficiency. An amount of Rs.58.000 Millions is estimated for this project and the company expects to complete the expansion by June 2007. 

 

SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE: 


 Exports: 
 
 The demand for KCPL's pharmaceutical and photographic Grades of Gelatin remained firm during last year. 
 
 With improved market conditions in Japan, NGI supported the company by substantially increasing the offtake of Ossein. NGI has confirmed that they will maintain this level of Ossein purchase in the year 2007-08 also. 
 
 Domestic: 
 
 The company's customers for gelatin in India continue to use the company's product mainly for their export production. With the growing export of Indian pharmaceutical products, the company could increase the total sales in the domestic market. 

 
 The last year was one of the best years for the Indian Poultry Industry and this in turn increased the demand for DCP and resulted in better realisation. 

 
 Opportunities: 
 
 The company is in the process of establishing business in new overseas markets on the strength of the product quality and regulatory compliance.

 

The company is also exploring the possibilities of offering value added products to new markets and new customers. 
 
 Threats: 
 
 The substantial increase in the production of pork skin gelatin coupled with the increase in production of low cost bovine hide gelatin has adversely affected the world wide bone gelatin market. With the advent of cheaper digital photographic equipments, conventional film based photography is on the decline. Alternatives such as HPMC (Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellolose) and starch derivatives still pose a threat to gelatin. 

 
 Outlook: 
 
 The company's focus on pharmaceutical grade gelatin is giving good results.

 

The demand for the company's product in this market segment is good and the company expects to further increase the sales in this segment. Even though conventional photography is on the decline, the company will be able to maintain sizeable sales volumes in this segment. 

 
 Ossein exports are expected to remain stable for the next few years. 

 
 With Indian Poultry Industry on a growing path, the company expects the demand for DCP to be steady in the current year. 

 
 Internal control system

 
 KCPL has evolved a system of internal controls to ensure that assets are safeguarded, transactions are authorized, recorded and correctly reported.

 

The internal control system is supported by management reviews. Planned periodic reviews are carried out for identification of control deficiencies, bridging gaps with best practices and formulation of time bound action plans to minimise risk. To further strengthen internal control, a firm of Chartered Accountants has been appointed to do internal audit whose scope of work and work programme is reviewed by the Audit Committee at the beginning of each year. The findings of the Internal Auditors are discussed with the Audit Committee and adequate mitigatory steps are taken to plug weaknesses pointed out. The Board is of the view that appropriate procedures and controls are operating and monitoring procedures are in place. 

 
 In line with the requirement of Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement, the company has put in place a Risk Management Framework and the findings/ recommendations are discussed with the Board of Directors/Audit Committee.

 

Risk Management as a formal concept is an integral part of the business process and the recommendations are being implemented. 

 
 Financial Performance

 
 Turnover increased by 34.4% to Rs. 1311.900 Millions during the year ended 31st March 2007 as compared to Rs.976.300 Millions during the previous year. 

 
 The Gross profit (earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes and write back) for the current year was Rs.172.600 Millions as against Rs. 62.400 Millions in the previous year. The operating profit (including other income) was Rs.124.900 Millions as against Rs.31.700 Millions in the previous year. 

 
 The interest expenses and depreciation for the current year was Rs.34.700 Millions and Rs.65.700 Millions as against Rs.29.200 Millions and Rs.69.700 Millions of the previous year. 

 
 Human Resource Development

 
 During the year 2006-07 a section of employees resorted to self declared boycott at Ossein Division. However, the company could maintain the production with the whole hearted co-operation extended by the other employees. The company could achieve record production during the year. The present industrial relations situation at Ossein Division is extremely cordial. 

 
 At Gelatin Division, the company concluded the 2nd long term settlement which is highly productivity oriented. The settlement has been implemented and the division is poised to achieve a production target of 3000 MT per annum by July 2007. The company initiated organisation development intervention programme called 'Developing Environment Focussed Organisational Growth (DEFOG)'. This programme is progressing at a fast pace and the results are visible all through the organisation. 

 
 Many training programmes have been conducted during the year for employee development as well as for improving operations covering areas like process improvement, quality improvement, preventive maintenance, good manufacturing practices, documentation and safety. 

 

 

BAMNI PROTEINS LIMITED 

 
The annual production during the year was 25.29% higher than the previous year. The company also recorded a net profit of Rs. 0.489 Millions as against a loss of Rs. 4.266 Millions during previous year. The increase in furnace oil cost, cost of coal and also power cost substantially reduced the profit margin of Bamni Proteins Limited
