LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Director’s Report

 

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT: 


The Company has commenced construction of a Commercial Complex at its Site at Veera Desai Road, Andheri (West), Mumbai since December 2006 and the construction activity is in full swing. The construction work of 1st level basement is completed and the work of 2nd level basement is nearing completion. The total area being constructed would be around 2,10,000 square feet, apart from 350 cars parking space at basement level. The entire complex consisting of 10 floors is likely to be ready for occupation during the last quarter of 2008. Capital Expenditure incurred on the project till 30.06.2007 is Rs. 322.400 millions

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

 

SUPREME PETROCHEM LIMITED (SPL): 

 

Supreme Petrochem Limited (SPL), a company jointly promoted by the company and R Raheja Group, is progressing well on their plan to set up a large EPS manufacturing plant at Amdoshi and to put up a minor port at Dherand. That company is also putting up a SEZ, specifically to promote export of plastics goods. The work on the SEZ is moving smoothly. That company is expanding it's capacity to make compounds mostly for automotive requirement. SPL's subsidiary unit at Chennai - SPL Polymers Limited - had a major fire. The plant had to stop production. They are now rebuilding the same on a bigger scale at the same site. 


SUBSIDIARY COMPANY: 

 

With a view to expand its business in gulf countries, the Company has promoted The Supreme Industries Overseas (FZE)., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, incorporated in SAIF Free Zone, UAE by investing a sum of AED 150,000 (equivalent to Rs 1.888 millions).

 

OVERVIEW: 

 

The Indian economy is on a robust growth path. During the last three years the GDP have grown on an average exceeding 8.6%. In the year under review, the GDP has crossed 9.43% for the first time in the history of the Indian economy. 

Indian Economy is one of the fastest growing in the world today. It has tremendous potential which is attracting global investors to invest in several segments of the economy. 

 

Encouraged by the overall economic growth, the Company has made an investment plan of Rs. 2400.000 millions for the year 06-07 and 07-08. A sum of Rs. 1320.000 millions have already been spent during the year 06-07. Major Capital Expenditure was incurred for the following; 

 
1. Establishing a mega plastics product complex at Gadegaon near Jalgaon which will manufacture varieties of plastics pipe products, Pallets, Crates, Furniture and Fabricated products from Cross laminated film.

 
2. Setting up a new facility at Urse- near Pune - to produce high technical protective packaging products. 
 
 3. To enhance the Injection Moulding capacity at plants in Durgapur, Lalru, Talegaon, Pondicherry, Noida and Khushkheda. 
 
 4. Acquiring moulds for new products in Furniture and Crates. 

 
 5. To boost the capacity of Cross laminated films and products at Halol and Silvassa. 


The Company is building up an ultra modern commercial complex at Veera Desai Road, Andheri West. Two level basement areas are nearing completion. This shall be ten storey commercial complex with an office space of around 2,10,000 sq. ft. with a two level of basements for 350 car parking. The Company has incurred a capital expenditure of Rs  322.400 millions up to 30.6.07. The whole complex should be ready for occupation in the last quarter of 2008. 

 

The Company sold the development rights of Salt Lake area. The proceeds of Rs 120.300 millions received have been accounted as extra ordinary income net of cost and expenses in the year under review. 

 
The company has also decided to quit from those segments where their product range is not differentiated, viz. Rigid PVC film at Malanpur and FSW division at Daman. Turnover of both the Divisions aggregated to Rs.  805.300 millions in the year under review. The Company has entered into an arrangement for proposed sale of plant and machinery of RIGID PVC film and also started manufacturing of PVC film under toll manufacturing arrangements for the buyer with effect from 1.5.07. Operations at FSW Division at Daman have been discontinued and most of the assets have since been disposed off. This restructuring should improve the working in the year 07-08. 


The Company also intends to sell it's Pondy Unit I building which is presently rented out. The Company expects this to materialise during current year 07-08. The Company is also exploring the possibility of disposing off some other unit which is not giving adequate return. If the Company decides to divest those assets, the Company may realize around Rs. 900.000 millions for assets already sold in 06-07 and are going to be divested in the year 07-08. These divestments will also release working capital blocked in these product segments. The company expects to accelerate its presence in the segments where Supreme Brand commands high respect. 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT: 


Plastics permeate entire segment of Indian economy. The Company operates in most of the critical segments such as Agriculture, water supply, Housing, Protective Packaging, Consumer appliances, automotive parts and material handling system. 


Though the Indian GDP growth in the previous three years was over 8.6%, the consumption of plastics has not grown more than 7.5%. This was principally due to high incidence of indirect taxes on Plastics products and reservation of several products in the Small scale sector. 


In the previous year, the Government has moved in a positive manner to increase the consumption of plastics. Several Plastics products have been put in lower bracket of VAT rate of 4%. VAT was introduced in most parts of the country during the year. CST rate was reduced from 4% to 3% with the avowed declaration that this tax will be phased out over the period.

Majority of the plastic items have been dereserved. A National Policy on Petrochemicals was also adopted by the Cabinet with a firm commitment to take several initiatives to boost the consumption of Plastics in the coming years at a much faster rate. 

 

These initiatives will go a long way to open several new opportunities for the Company in the existing segments where they are operating. The company is preparing itself to avail of the new opportunities which are opening up.

PACKAGING PRODUCTS: 

 
PACKAGING FILMS: 


The Company is working to be a differentiator in this product segment as it is a small player in overall market size of this product in the country's economy. 

 

The Company's technical and marketing team are working on newer applications to make breakthrough with the objective of being a niche supplier. 

 

At a smaller volume, the Company desires to be a supplier of only higher value added products, to utilize it's installed capacities to justify the investment made in this business. 

 

PROTECTIVE PACKAGING PRODUCTS: 

 

Continuous efforts have been made during the year to stabilise the vision 'of being a cost effective solutions provider in the areas of packaging and cushioning, civil and insulation'. Business focus of the Division has now shifted equally to civil & insulation. The business model adopted is to develop/market a large variety of foam products and other composite materials, which suits the above applications. The present level of business in civil & insulation is 10% & they expect to take this to around 30% over the next few years. The plant to manufacture two stage cross-linked foam was established in October, 2006 with the technical collaboration of Sanwa Kako of Japan. Work is on to develop several new applications. The Company hopes to utilise full capacity before Dec 2008. The Division also finalised a tie up with Sapac of Belgium, a Company manufacturing specialised equipments and instant packaging material made from liquid Polyurethane. This has been introduced in the Indian market. The Company expects to be selling a large number of these systems, this year. 

 

Extruded chemically cross linked foam (XLC) has been well established for the civil & insulation markets. The Division has imported large volumes of materials to establish the market and it will start manufacturing this at its new facility at (Urse) near Pune by October. This shall add substantially to the overall growth of the Division. Conversion & Fabrication are the essence of the business. The Company aims to plan to introduce this product in several new packaging & automotive applications.

 

The Company expects this capacity to be sold out soon. Besides, these products are extensively exported to Europe from Taiwan & Korea. The Company will be logistically better off in servicing these market. Initial studies have revealed a good potential. 

 

Two stage xlpe (Litecell) is slowly finding acceptance in several new applications. The Company's experience of manufacturing XLPE for several years has enabled it to make tailor made products for several applications. The Company expects the present capacity to be fully utilised by Dec 2008 


New fabrication facilities will be fully established in several towns, to cater to the packaging needs of customers in those areas. Being a freight intensive product & the need of just in time by customers requires the Company to be closer to the customers. 

 

Business Development:

  
Headed by a senior technical person, the Company now has several engineers working for the above new products and the other value added products, which are developed from the manufacturing unit. The total team is now focused for packaging, Gasket and other automobile applications to take forward the packaging business to a higher level.

 * EPDM foam 

 
 * Foam from natural rubber mixed with polymers for a special automotive application 

 
 * A specialty bubble film laminate for under deck insulation conductive & antistatic bubble composites

 
 * Orthopedic grade capcell 

 
This team is continuously working on several new products & expects to establish several value added products

in this year.

 
These efforts are expected to take the turnover of Specialty products and solutions from 25% of this Division's turnover to 40% in the next three years. 


Technology - Cost effective Solutions: 

 

Foam Density: The density of the EPE foam was reduced from 23 kgm cum to 18 kg per cum without impacting major properties, thereby increasing the value addition & also offering a reduced price to the customers. While processing, in terms of tonnage, dropped quite a bit, the overall sales grew and is expected to grow further this year. The target for this year is to further increase the usage of its own recycling of XLPE scrap from 30% of scrap generated to over 50% this year. This would be a significant achievement considering that this is a thermoset material.

 

The Engineering Division of the Protective Packaging Division's team continues to add value by upgrading existing equipments & also build new equipments improving upon existing available technology. 

The projects initiated and expected to complete before the end of this financial year is as follows: 
 
Urse:  The new project at Urse was taken up in the year under review. Project start up was delayed on account of purchase of land. Work is on in full swing. The plant is expected to start by October 2007. 
 
Malanpur: Two stage capcell plant was started with technology support from Sanwa Kako of Japan 
 
 Hosur:
Debottlenecking of all plants at Hosur required more space at Hosur to be able to utilize the capacities. 
 
 A proper R&D lab will be established this year at Urse. This will create many new opportunities for the Division. 
 
Many new fabricating equipments have been added & will be further added in the current year to enhance product offerings to the valued customers. 

 

They believe that the Division should achieve a topline growth of nearly 25 % & the bottom-line is expected to grow correspondingly. 

 

CROSS LAMINATED FILM: 


The Company uses cross laminated film for making Tarpaulins, bags, rainwater harvesting systems and fumigation covers. 

 

The Company sold 6639 tons of products against 5659 tons of XF products during the previous year. The increased supply of products was delayed due to teething troubles in the equipments which were overcome by May 07. Thus the Company had a marginal growth in business. The Company could not meet the requirements of the customers due to paucity of supply. Exports increased to 1072 tons as against 1036 tons of the previous year. The export demand has started coming from several developed markets. The volume in export also was restricted due to non-availability of the product. 

 

The capacity is now fully operational. The Company expects to sell around 9000 tons in the current year from the capacity which has gone into production. Volume varies based on thickness and sizes. Considering business pattern, around 9000 tons production will be achieved from the current installed capacity of 10,500 tons. 

The Company intends to install additional balancing equipments with an outlay of Rs. 150.000 millions in this year. It will enable the Company to produce around 11500 tons of products during the next year. 


The Company's collaborator is in the process of inventing next generation XL film with further superior properties. The Company has entered into an agreement with a collaborator for exclusive right to produce the same in India and surrounding countries. 

 

The Company has already paid USD 120,000 to avail of this right. Further payments will be made to enjoy this right for designated markets with additional down payments and running royalty. The Company expects to launch the product of newer technology in the year 2008-09. 


 6. PLASTICS RAW MATERIAL: 


All the ten economic blocks of the world are simultaneously growing well and thus assisting each other to continue on higher growth path. The world economy grew by 5.3% in 2006 and expects to grow by 4.9% in 2007. In most of the commodities, demand is outstripping supply. This has led to high price of crude which has resulted in higher international prices of Polymers. The appreciation of Indian Re Vs. $ has moderated the impact of high international Polymer prices. It enabled the Company to procure it's raw material at affordable price through out the year. 

 
 7. FINANCE: 


The Debt Equity Ratio of the Company has improved significantly at the end of the year as compared to that of the previous year. Interest bearing liabilities have decreased from Rs. 2374.800 millions in 2005-06 to Rs. 2283.200 millions in 200607 representing reduction in Debt level by Rs. 91.600 millions. 

 

On likely receipt of about Rs. 900.000 millions, in all, through divestments the Company's cash flow position shall strengthen considerably. 


The Company's investment plan in various projects during the current year will be met by internal accruals, divestments and borrowings.

 
The Company meets a major part of its Working Capital requirements through placement of Commercial Papers (CPs) at considerably lower cost. However, the interest rates continued to harden during the year. Consequently, the average interest rate of the outstanding interest bearing liabilities as on 30.06.2007, increased to 9.12% p.a. vis-a-vis 7.81% p.a. at the end of the previous year. This has resulted in higher interest and financial charges during the year as compared to that of the previous year. Recently, there are indications that the interest rates have peaked and may stabilize or even soften in due course.

Milestones :

 

Founded in 1942, Supreme is an acknowledged leader of India's plastics industry.    

 

Handling volumes of over 100,000 tonnes of polymers annually, effectively makes them the country's largest plastics processors.             

                         

Not surprisingly, they also offer the widest and most comprehensive range of plastic products in India.           

 

Their 20 advanced plants are powered by technology from world leaders, and complement their extensive facilities for R & D and new product development.            

 

In fact, Supreme is credited with pioneering several products in India. These include Cross- Laminated Films, HMHD Films, Multilayer Films, SWR Piping Systems, PP Mats and more.          

 

They are seeking to perform strongly internationally as well. Exports remain a focal area of their operations, even as they add newer markets to their list worldwide.        

 

2005 will see The Supreme Group turnover touch a projected Rs. 23,000 million (USD 500 million).  

 

From Strength to Strength        

             

From modest beginnings, as a small single product company in the 1950s, to a Rs. 2,0000.000 Millions multi-unit conglomerate with India's largest plastic products portfolio today, the Supreme Group has certainly come a long way.

 

This unrelenting growth has come through diverse efforts: consolidation and expansion, enhancement of capacities, addition of fresh products and variants, establishment of newer plants, and occasionally, even acquisition of under-performing but high potential units and brands.

 

Understandably, the integration route has been successfully explored by the Group.

 

For instance, in a major backward integration move, Supreme Petrochem Ltd.-- and with it, one of India's largest world class styrenics complexes-- came into being.

 

Similarly, diversification and horizontal integration have been fuelled by strategic collaborations with technology leaders. Two prime examples of this are introduction of multi-layer films and calendered film products in the country .

 

The Group has made substantial complementary investments in R & D. This has not only helped in a thorough and superior assimilation of cutting edge technologies, but also contributed to a collateral development of newer and improved products on a continuing basis.

 

So, while Supreme SWR systems were India's first viable alternative to conventional GI pipes and fittings, the unflagging creation of newer fittings keeps an unmatched range growing ever further .

 

A client-friendly approach, a readiness to customize and an eagerness to provide all technical support have played no mean role in propelling Supreme to leadership.

 

An open mind and receptivity to new ideas and needs remain hallmarks of the Group's interface with all customers-- in India and across the globe .

 

The Company processed 59,526 MT of polymers during the first nine months of the current year as compared to 52,511 MT in the corrosponding period of the previous year recording a growth of 13.36%

The Supreme Industries Limited has reported gross turnover and other income of Rs. 4071.300 Millions including Rs. 167.100 Millions of polymer trading) in the first 6 months ended 31 st December 2004 of the current year as against Rs. 4297.300 Millions (including Rs. 352.900 Millions of polymer trading) during the corresponding period of last year.     

 

Operating profit for the first half of current year is lower at Rs. 256.300 Millions as against Rs. 325.200 Millions in last year and the Net Profit is Rs. 51.200 Millions as against Rs. 113.600 Millions in the corresponding period of previous year .      

 

The first half of the current year has witnessed steep volatility in polymer prices. The whole of the plastic processing industry has passed through a bad phase due to such volatility, which has led to degrowth in consumption of plastics in the Indian economy inspite of GDP growth in excess of 7%. The overall consumption of majority of commodity plastics in the last 9 months (April 2004 to December 2004) was either negative or flat. The prices have since then stabilized and outlook remains positive for the first half of the calendar year .                                                                                                         

 

Supreme is increasing its capacities in more value added products and to increase its export capabilities which would minimize the effects of such volatility in polymer prices. The Company has planned capex of Rs. 650.000 Millions during the current year, Major capex has been committed for such value added products and to augment the capacity for export markets .     

 

The second half of the current year looks promising and the Company expects to achieve it's financials in line with the previous year.
