LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY:

 

Incorporated in 1979, Bhoruka Aluminium (BAL) is currently Chaired by Sreenivasa Rao and Managed by Managing Director R K Agarwal. BAL is engaged in the production of aluminium extrusion with an installed capacity of 5000 tpa at Metagalli, Mysore. 

 
With the aluminium industry afflicted by shortage of raw material, demand constraints and increase in excise duty, BAL suffered consistent losses due to under-utilisation of capacity and was declared a sick company in 1991. BAL was sanctioned a rehabilitation scheme by BIFR on 30 Jun.'93, pursuant to which plant and machinery and other fixed assets have been leased to M/s Transport Corporation of India (TCI) for a period of three years from 1 Apr.'93 for a consideration of Rs 30.000 Millions pa which is utilised for repayment of loans and interest to financial institutions and banks. According to the sanctioned scheme, the company has alloted 35,47,400 equity shares of Rs 10 each at par to TCI, Bhoruka Steel and financial institutions by way of conversion of part of their outstanding loans / interest dues. 

 
BAL has gone for modernisation, expansion and diversification by improving the existing methods of manufacture and installation of an additional extrusion press and anodising plant. 

 
The Company has been ceased to be a sick company as accumulated losses has exceeded the Networth of the company.

 

Operations: 


The Company has reported a stellar performance for the year. The turnover has increased by 25% from Rs.1337.700 Millions to Rs.1679.000 Millions and the net profits for the same period registered an increase of 111% from Rs.21.400 Millions to Rs.45.200 Millions. Both these were in fact highest achieved by the Company since its inception.


In line with an impressive increase in turnover, the Production also increased to 8,379 M.Tons. from 6,505 M.Tons. 

 

To meet the growing demand, the Company has taken up an expansion plan to increase its installed capacity. The plant is in advanced stage of implementation and it is expected to begin commercial production in first week of October 2008. 

 
 Dividend: 

 
In view of an excellent performance during the last year, the directors are pleased to recommend a maiden dividend of 12% for the year ended 31 st March 2008. The dividend, if approved at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, will be paid out of the profits of the Company for the year and will absorb Rs.5.400 Millions. The dividend will be paid to those shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members of the Company after giving effect to all valid share transfers lodged with the Share Transfer Agents on or before 11th July, 2008 and those whose names appear as Beneficial Owners in the records of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) as on the said date. 

 
Prospects:

 
With a buoyant construction sector and healthy GDP, the domestic demand for Aluminium Extrusion is likely to increase at a rate of 10 to 11 %. Construction, Automobiles, Consumer durables are the future drivers of growth. India has a huge potential for consumption of aluminium extrusions. A sudden need to improve infrastructure, over all growth in the economy and improvement in disposable income will maintain strong demand in this sector.


The Company already has an anodizing plant and in accordance with the Company's focus on value added activities, a state of the art modern. Powder Coating Plant was commissioned during the last year to meet growing demand of quality powder coated extrusions. 

 
Additionally, in order to provide a high degree of customer services, a modern ERP system (S A P ) was successfully implemented this year to integrate various Business Processes. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 
 Industry structure: 

 
 Last year, the Company achieved its best ever performance. Improved overall efficiency and better product mix culminated in highest production of 8379 M.T. since inception. The Company is in business for last 27 years and with its prompt customer service, unmatched quality and timely delivery enjoys excellent competitive edge. 

 
The Indian economy, on a high growth curve remained one of the fastest growing countries. Globally, there is a shift of manufacturing towards Asia; aluminium extrusion is no exception, particularly against raising power and other manufacturing costs in Western countries. Other influencing factors are good quality local bauxite and strong domestic demand. 

 
Opportunities: 

 

Aluminium is a versatile metal and can be given any shape, easily. This with its strength to weight ratio provides a vast scope for innovative designs and newer applications. In fact, increasing use of extrusions in automobiles, railways, consumer durables, electronics prove this, New applications and strong demand will even absorb increasing capacities. Recent trends indicate a shift towards quality and timely deliveries and companies able to deliver both have a bright future. 

 

Discussion on Financial Performance: 


Last year was a land mark year for the Company. Its splendid performance on all fronts resulted in highest net profit in the history of the Company. The net profit made a substantial jump from Rs. 21.442 Millions to Rs.45.250 Millions an increase of 111 %. Production of 8,379 M.Tons surpassed all previous year records proving excellent over all efficiencies on all value parameters. These results were achieved despite high volatility in Aluminium prices in International Market. For the first time the Company achieved an EPS of almost Rs.10/- which is equal to the face value of shares.

 
Appreciation in Rupee made exports uneconomical, however the marketing strategy of the company is flexible and fine tunes the share of exports as required. 

 
With a view to integrate various business process, the successful implementation of modern ERP System (SAP) will further improve the overall operational efficiency in the coming years. 

 
Good quality, timely delivery and focus on customer services, increased the market share and additional capacity is being created to absorb additional demand by installation of new extrusion press scheduled to go on stream in October 2008.
