LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

YEAR IN RETROSPECT 


The performance of the Company during the year was satisfactory. It has posted an excellent result for the year .

 

The total revenue at Rs.210.342 Millions registered a 9% increase over the corresponding year. Net profits after tax jumped by 290 per cent at Rs.5.159 Millions This high growth was attributed to good performance of Nashik Division, despite, massive price hike of basic raw materials and stiff competition from local and dumping of off cuts imports. The management has been focusing on better quality and ensures customer satisfaction to encounter these obstacles.

 
The bottom line of the company has been improved. Though the sales and profitability of the company has shown a positive note to the over all growth and development of the company, still the directors feel that the company's sales and revenues were, not commensurate with the projections due to massive increase in the price of the Petroleum Products in the International as well as in domestic markets, which has directly affected the price of the basic inputs (e.g. L.D.P.E, Adhesive, other Chemicals) used by the company. 


However, the company increased the selling price of its' products but due to local market competition, it could not transferred the entire burden of such increase of price on the customers. 


PAPER DIVISION - I (BIRATI - KOLKATA) 


Activity of Birati Division has been continuously follow-up and after taking various corrective measures and after discontinuing the non-remunerative items the management could able to make it viable. The management has been constantly reviewing the activities of this unit. 


PAPER DIVISION - II (NASHIK) 

 

The performance of the Paper Division-II at Nashik continued to be satisfactory. It has recorded turnover of Rs.194.099 Millions as against Rs.174.262 Millions in the previous year, represented a growth of 11.38% over the previous year. The company has been consistently following the policies to consolidate its position in respect of sales, profitability, production and marketing by optimum utilization of available resources. 

 

FINANCE 
 

The entire banking operations since been shifted to Nashik as measures of cost cutting and better coordination of finance activities. The company has made an application to the State Bank of India Nashik Road Branch for sanction of working capital facilities aggregating to Rs.23.200 Millions and the same is lying pending for their kind consideration. 

 

MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 


In terms of clause 49(V) of the Listing Agreement with Stock Exchange, a Report on the Management Discussion and Analysis is attached to this Annual Report 


Overall Review 


The Company's operations are broadly classified in two business segments i.e. Paper and Chemicals. During the year it has recorded a turnover of Rs.207.024 Millions; despite of intense competition with unorganized sector, dumping of stock lot and off-cuts from oversees manufactures. Lack of growth in demand and increase in prices of raw material and consumables, the company has posted a net profit after tax of Rs.5.0159 Millions which has improved its' bottom lines. The sales were remained below the projections because of shortage of funds as the revenues could not generated sufficient surplus to match with cash flows. The company has not defaulted the payments of any dues to financial institution/Bank. 


Finance  
 
During the year the entire banking and finance control function has been shifted to Nashik as a measure of cost cutting and better control. The company has been facing the burden of high interest cost since last couple of years and to overcome this problem, the directors has consolidated the position by shifting its banking operation to Nashik it will minimize the administrative cost and also helpful in taking timely decisions as regards the utilization of funds. 


The Company is regular on making payments to IDBI as per the restructuring package. The Company's banker in turn too, has sanctioned higher working capital with reduced rate of interest, keeping in view the benefits given by the financial institution. However, the management will continue to follow up with term lending institution and bank to review the lending rates and consider reduction of the interest rate keeping in view the current trend that of failing interest rate in banking sector. The management is hopeful of favorable response from F1, since the company's track record is satisfactory. 

 

The Company's Nashik Plant showed continuous improvement towards productivity and profitability.
