LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

Company History:

 

Incorporated on 21 Feb.'86, Harita Grammer (HGL) is a joint venture between the Harita group of the TVS family and Grammer Sitzsystene, Germany. It manufactures automobile seats for cars, jeeps and trucks and is an Original Equipment Supplier to TELCO for its Estate and Sierra models. In the tractor segment, it supplies to tractors and farm equipments manufacturers like Escorts, Escorts Tractors and HMT. Apart from this, bus body builders also source their requirements of seats from HGL. The company set up an assembly unit at Pune. This will ensure timely supplies of car seats to TELCO. This plant manufactures only foam cushions with reclining mechanism being supplied from the main plant. This unit is expected to go on stream in 1996. In the year 1996-97, As per the scheme of Amalgamation all assets and liabilities and reserves of transferor companies viz. erstwhile Harita-Grammer Limited and Roloforms Polymer Limited, transferred and vested with effect from 24th April 1996. A new variety of metro seat for the bus passenger and also driver seats for commercial vehical was developed during 2000-2001.One of its future plan of action is likely to introduce cost effective bus passenger seat variants and developing new models of two-wheeler seats. Due to the termination of Joint Venture agreement with Grammer AG, the name of the company was changed to Harita Seating Systems Ltd with prior approval from the shareholders and the Central Government. The effective date was September 27, 2002.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

The Company provides seating solutions for transport applications and has established a leading position in the country catering to all segments of the automotive industries.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:

 

The year 2008-09 was an unprecedented one. The first half of the year exceeded expectations, but t0he global meltdown in second half of the year resulted in credit squeeze and affected the business confidence causing slowdown in the economic activity world-wide, and across industry segments. The Indian economy was also not immune from this global turmoil and the GDP growth was estimated at 6% during 2008-09, lower than initial estimate of 7%.This growth was lower than the growth rates witnessed during the past three years which were in excess of 8.5%. While agricultural growth is estimated to be at 2.2%, growth in the industrial sector output is   estimated at 2.8%, a significant drop from 8.1% for the comparable period last year. Service sector growth is also

estimated lower at 8.8% compared to 10.9% registered in 2007-08.

 

The global financial crisis also resulted in slowdown of the automotive industry. Barring the domestic passenger vehicle and the two wheeler segment, all other segments of the Indian automotive industry registered a negative growth during 2008-09. The following table highlights the industry sales figures in vehicle units.

Against the backdrop of global uncertainty and slowdown, the Company achieved a sales and other income of Rs.1980.000 millions during 2008-09 as against Rs.1940.000 Millions during 2007-08, registering a growth of 2.06%. The unprecedented increase in the prices of commodities especially crude and steel had a huge impact on the raw material prices, which could not be passed on to the customers. The sudden drop in demand in the second half of the year had a negative impact on the profitability. As a result, the Company registered a loss of Rs. 7.91 cr in 2008-09 against a profit of Rs.95.200 millions registered in 2007-08.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

A number of multinational companies have joined hands with Indian companies in forming joint ventures for   manufacture of commercial vehicles. As a result, the Company expects the commercial vehicle market to grow in terms of high value highend sophisticated vehicles with international standards to be launched in Indian market in the near future. Being an established leader in this segment, the Company expects to capitalize on these   developments. Efforts have already been made to develop high-end seats for these applications.

 

Having established a leadership position in tractor seat segment in the domestic market, the Company is now focusing on export market and is committed to meet customer requirements in terms of quality, cost, delivery and service.

 

Towards the end of 2008-09, the government offered a stimulus package by allocating funds to various state transport undertakings (STU's) budget under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) scheme. Under this scheme extended to 61 cities, public sector transport undertakings will introduce low floor city buses and upgrade their existing fleet. This initiative is expected to open up additional opportunities for the Company in the city bus transport segment. Most of this business would be tender based and hence the Company would be making every effort to secure the business. The introduction of Volvo buses revolutionized the concept of safety and comfort in long distance traveling. This move has brought a new outlook among other leading bus manufacturers, who also started building high-end buses. This has provided the Company with greater opportunities in the high end bus segment.

 

The government is expected to continue its focus on strengthening of infrastructure in the country. As a result, it is expected that the demand for earth moving equipment would increase. The Company has already developed suitable seats for this application and expects greater opportunities for business in this segment.

 

The new polyurethane composite products developed and productionised by the Company offer wide variety and choice to the customers for various applications.

 

A few multi-national seat manufacturing companies in the segment of bus passenger and commercial vehicle seats have established manufacturing facilities in India with the help of local partners. This is a perceived threat.

 

Innovation is the key to success and the Company is fully committed to focus on product innovation by developing newer cost effective products precisely targeted at customer needs in order to meet the threats posed by  competition and to leverage the opportunities offered by the market. The Company's well established products and in-house design capabilities with proximity to customers will enable the Company to retain and improve its market share through well defined strategies.

 

PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

During 2008-09, the Company's sales grew by 2.06%. The slowdown in the commercial vehicle segment resulted in a drop of 26% in MHCV and drop of 6.8% in LCV driver seat sales. Barring these two, in all other segments the Company registered a growth in spite of the sudden downturn in the economy. Two wheeler seats grew by 18.8%, bus passenger seats by 14.6% and tractor seats by 9.6%. Exports sales also grew by 6.5%.

 

The Company's new technology products like long fibre injection moulded components and micro cellular urethane products for automotive applications have been well received. This business witnessed a growth of sales by 57.6% in 2008-09.

 

During the year 2008-09, the Company acquired Polyflex Group of companies. This acquisition includes Polyflex's manufacturing plants and its fabrication unit called Polyflex Engineering in Bangalore while the movable assets of Polyflex's Pune plant were taken over only in May 2009. The Chennai unit of Polyflex was taken over by Harita Polymer Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company). Through this acquisition, the Company and its subsidiar y will have entry as Tier-2 polyurethane foam supplier to reputed customers like Hanil Lear, Tata Johnson Controls, Lear and Toyota Boshoku. The foam pads supply will go into the cars of Hyundai, Tata Motors, Ford, Mahindra Renault and Toyota Kirloskar.

 

Audit observation

 

As the assets were acquired from M/s. Polyflex (India) Private Limited, Bangalore and M/s. Polyflex Engineering (Private) Limited, Bangalore only on 30th March 2009, the process of updating the documents to synchronise with the Company’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system viz., SAP could not be completed by the year end. The updation of fixed asset register and other synchronization will be completed soon and submitted to statutory auditors for their audit and review.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND OVERVIEW

 

In 2009-10, the GDP is projected to grow by < 6%. This subdued outlook of the economy will impact the domestic automotive sector, which is expected to see a slowdown during 2009-10. While the passenger car industry is likely to register a marginal growth of 1%, supported by the launch of small cars and export of the same, the two-wheeler segment is expected to register a flat growth. The MHCV and LCV segments are expected to have a negative growth of 35% and 13% respectively. Tractor segment is estimated to register a negative

growth of 10% and three wheelers a negative growth of 20% for 2009-10.

 

Having already established a leading position in tractor seats in domestic market, the Company is focusing on export markets and has developed new models for a leading original equipment (OE) manufacturer in the United States. Higher volume of business from this opportunity is expected in the current year as well as in the coming years.

 

Upgradation of urban bus fleet and introduction of deluxe/ultra deluxe buses by state transport corporations offers yet another scope for increase in volume of bus passenger and driver seats.

 

As regards exports, there is a good scope for increasing exports of driver seats for lawn and garden tractors and seat components for commercial vehicles. The Company is focusing on meeting customer expectations with regard to quality, cost and delivery.

 

During the year, the Company signed a Letter of Intent with F S Fehrer Automotive GmbH for entering into a joint venture (JV). The JV will be 51:49 in favour of the Company.
