Present Operations

During the year the sales turnover of Rs.9.649 millions was achieved as compared to the sales turnover of Rs.3.920 millions during the last financial year. The profit for the year decreased from Rs.0.462 millions to Rs.0.326 millions due to pressure on margin. Financial results for the current year reflect the working of the operations of the transferor company i.e. Tricom Agrochem Limited, as the Scheme of Amalgamation as approved by the Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat has become effective from the appointed date i.e. 1st April,2008.

 

Scheme of Amalgamation

The Scheme of Amalgamation ('Scheme') of Tricom Agrochem Limited (Transferor Company) with the Company was approved by the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay and High Court, Gujarat on 29th January, 2010 and 6th May, 2010 respectively. The 'effective date' for the Scheme of Amalgamation has been fixed as 31st May, 2010 and the

Scheme has become effective from 'appointed date' i.e. 1st April, 2008.

 

As per Clause 11 of the Scheme, the Company has issued and allotted 4855050 Equity Shares of Rs.10/- each to the shareholders of the transferor Company on 30th June, 2010 in the ratio of 1(one) Equity Share of Rs.10/- each fully paid-up in the capital of the Company for every 2(two) Equity Share of Rs.10/- held by them as on record date i.e. 19th June, 2010 in the capital of the transferor company.

 

Business of the Company

After the implementation of the Scheme of Amalgamation the Company's business operations will include manufacturing of fruit pulp and juices and other processed products prepared out of fruits like Mango, Pomegranate, Guava, Tomato etc. apart from trading in Agricultural commodities.

 

Change of Name

After the successful implementation of the Scheme of Amalgamation, it has become imperative that the name of the Company should reflect the business activity being carried out by the Company. Hence, to make the name of the company representative of the business of the company i.e. fruit /agri processing and trading, a proposal to change name of the Company was moved by the Board. The Shareholders of the Company have approved the proposal for change of name of the company through postal ballot on 20th July, 2010. The Registrar of Companies, Gujarat has issued fresh certificate of incorporation approving the change of name of the company to Tricom Fruit Products Limited with effect from 2nd August, 2010.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

Industry Structure and Developments

After the successful amalgamation, the Company is into the business of trading in Agri commodities, contract farming and fruit processing. Presently, the processing of fruits and vegetables is estimated to be around 2.2% of the total production in the country. Such low level of processing offers great opportunities for organized players in this sector. The major processed items in this segment are fruit pulps and juices, fruit based ready to serve beverages, dehydrated vegetables etc. The fruit and vegetable processing industry is rather fragmented with a large number of units being in household and SSI sector. But, there has been significant growth in capacity building from the organized sector since year 2000.

 

Company's strategy and plans

The company has successfully commissioned a state of the art a multi-fruit processing project for processing fruits like Mango, Pomegranate, Guava, Tomato, and Papaya with an installed capacity of processing 10 MT/hour. Company plans to export majority of its production and has got favorable response for the samples sent to potential customers. While commissioning the project, the management has been working on marketing of products and procurement of raw material. Company plans to go for sourcing quality raw materials through supply of quality saplings and assured purchase of the produce from the farmers and development of contract farming in times to come.
