LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Subject was incorporated on 12th May, 1960 at Chennai in Tamilnadu having Company Registration Number 4145.

 

DIRECTORS REPORT

 

SANITARY WARE DIVISION: 

The performance of this division continued to be adversely affected in the year under review on account of lack of working capital. Though there was a slight improvement in production during the current year at 4749 MT, the sales was marginally lower at Rs 148.800 millions  as compared to 4340 MT and Rs.155.000 millions in the previous year. Low and irregular supply of natural gas, break down of one kiln adversely affected the overall production in the division. Initial problem faced in obtaining continuous supply of natural gas has now been overcome. 
 

TILES DIVISION: 

The operations of the division continued to remain inoperative. The company continues to probe the possibility of trading activity by outsourcing in order to overcome the prohibitive cost of manufacturing due to non-availability of natural gas and huge further investments needed in view of detoriated and outdated assets. 


PROPOSED RESTRUCTURING: 

The proposed restructuring could not be completed in this year due to delay in obtaining statutory approvals. However, there has been substantial progress subsequently and the company is confident of completing the restructuring in the year 2007-08 impact of whose benefit is finely to be seen in the year 2008-09. 
 
 A proposal has been submitted in this connection to the Bank of India, the company's bankers for sanction of a fresh term loan to part-fund a Capital Expenditure programme to enhance productivity and capacity utilization by installation of new kilns and balancing equipment. The same is in the process of being appraised by the Bank. 
 

SETTLEMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTION DUES

The debts due to secured lenders other than Bank of India and LIC of India has been the subject matter of an assignment in favour of new investors by negotiation with the lenders and substantial progress has been achieved in this front. 

 

BIFR STATUS

The company is in the process of preparation of a detailed Scheme for Rehabilitation of the company for submission to the Hon'ble BIFR which will encompass the Capex programme with Bank of India together with other financial restructuring modes, concessions and waivers from statutory payments etc. On sanction, it is expected that the company will go through a quick turn-around and make its Net Worth positive within a short time. 
 

Management Discussion and Analysis Report:

The financial year ending 31st March, 2007 was also not a good year for the Company. The operations of the tiles division continued to be under suspension during the year under review. Despite comfortable order booking, dispatches in sanitary ware plant were affected because of low production and low stock availability. Inadequate supply of natural gas, insufficiency of working capital resources, the delay in the implementation of the restructuring scheme, and the turbulent labour situation, all in combination, severely affected the overall operations of the Company. Thus, even though the construction industry is doing extremely well in the economy, the Company could not take advantage of the favorable situation.

 

CERAMICTILE DIVISION

Industry Scenario and developments

The ceramic tiles industry in India has followed similar trends internationally which have also been characterized

by excess capacities and falling margins. Countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Srilanka and Vietnam are

setting up their own plants. China is emerging as a major competitor. Producers from Spain and Italy have the advantage of lower transportation costs while exporting to USA and Germany. In India, the per capita consumption is as low as 0.1 sq.mt. compared to 0.3 and 5 sq.rnt. in China and Europe respectively. Rising disposable incomes of the growing middle class and 40.000 million units of housing shortage, however, hold out a great potential.

 

A major change that took over the ceramic tiles industry, in last three years was the introduction of vitrified, porcelain tiles and introduction of large format tiles. These new entrant product types are said to be the tiles of the future. Internationally these tiles are already the major sellers. These category of products account for more than 30% of all organized sales in this industry (approx. INR 4.00 Billion).

 

These new products and the conventional wall and floor tiles have together made the organized industry grow to a formidable Rs.40000.000 millions crore (INR 40.00 billion) industry. This coupled with a spate of expansions by many players make the industry look very promising in the future.

 

The Indian Industry has developed an export market although at the lower end. In volume it constitutes less than

half a percent of the global market. (Presently India does not figure in the list of major exporting countries). But this reality could change as Indian exports are rising at the rate of 15% per annum.

 

Sanitaryware Division

Industry Scenario and developments

As per the research reports, in India, more than 60% of the population does not have access to sanitation systems. There is also a shortage of 50.000 million dwelling units. Low per capita consumption of sanitary ware (less than 2%), the perpetual shortage of dwelling units outlines tremendous potential for sanitary ware products. Change in life style, high disposable income, concern for high quality toilets in middle income group segment and above is resulting high growth of higher end sanitary products and this trend is likely to continue for the next five years. To capitalize on the emerging opportunities in sanitary ware industry, all existing major players are going for capacity expansion and new entrants (including global brands) are setting up shops in India despite strong entry barrier for any new brand in the industry.

 

Business Review

This has been dealt with in detail in the Directors' Report to the Shareholders.

 

Marketing and Distribution

In the last twelve months, the company has been focusing more on the consolidation of its distribution network in south and east markets where it has strong brand image and sub dealer network. As a result of above measures, order position of the company product has significantly improved. Due to current supply constraints, expansion and distribution in other market is yet to be taken. The discounts and incentive schemes are also being reviewed periodically to make it at par with competition. Focus is also made on projects segment. Over all objective of the marketing strategy of the company still continues to be dealer 'push' till the time capacity de-bottlenecking is done.

 

Future Outlook

'Neycer' is one of the oldest sanitary brands, known for its colours, designs styles and superior products with

innovation features. Because of these factors NEYCER is able to stifle the stiff competition from other brands without any significant investment in advertisement and promotion. NEYCER has submitted a revised comprehensive proposal to its banker which seeks permanent solution to its long term problems by modernisation, capacity expansion of its existing manufacturing facilities at Vadalur and restructuring of debts and equities. The proposal is expected to be accepted and financial facilities provided by the bank shortly. With finalisation of strategic investments, the Directors are confident of earning profits and wiping out its entire negative net worth in less than three years.

 

Financial performance

The financial performance of the company for the year ended 31st March 2007 continued to be poor as the problems pertaining to availability of gas, labour problems, working capital constraints all continued. However the

situation is expected to improve in the coming year in view of the stability in availability of natural gas, expected

modernisation and improvement in working capital availability.
