LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

During the year 2009-10, the Company achieved a turnover of Rs.902.000 Millions and a profit before tax of Rs.72.700 Millions. This performance is slightly less than last year and has been mainly occasioned by the wide recession in the construction industry. Also the Company’s exports have come down from Rs.177.900 Millions to Rs.124.500 Millions. The domestic turnover has, however, shown an improvement due to the aggressive marketing efforts made by the Company. The market is showing sign of a short recovery and there is hope for a better performance in 2010-11.

 

As in the past, the Company continued to face the shortage of the most important raw material, namely, quality timber. In order to overcome this problem, the Company initiated steps to form a majority Malaysian owned joint venture Company in Kuela Lumpur where WIP setup a new factory for the joint venture to manufacture veneers. This factory is expected to go into production in September 2010 and the veneer produced will be exported to us, thus enabling the Company to utilize its full manufacturing capacity for plywoods.

 

In order to follow a policy of cent percent utilization of wood, the Company started making use of waste sawdust as raw material for manufacturing briquettes during the year 2009-10. The briquettes were burned in the Company’s boilers, thereby saving a substantial amount on fuel cost and also reducing pollution.

 

The Company saved a substantial amount on interest costs by converting the rupee working capital loan from banks to FCNR (B) loans. These cost cutting measures initiated by the Company helped to maintain the profit in spite of adverse market conditions.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

This report is prepared in compliance with the requirement of the Corporate Governance as laid down in the listing agreement. It covers both performance and outlook of the company. The Management accepts its responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. The actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied.

 

Industry structure and development

 

The Company caters to a variety of market segments like Railways, Defence, Automobile, Civil Aviation, Electrical and Transport. The Company has been passing through acute problems of sourcing good raw material and escalation in its prices periodically. The main raw material for the Company viz. timber is being imported and the Company has no control over the price prevailing in the overseas market. Moreover the levies charged by the Government, increase in price of petroleum products etc. contribute increase in cost of production. The increased cost could not be fully absorbed in our market price and there has, therefore been shrinkage in the margin in some of the products. The effect of globalisation has also contributed for lowering of margins. However, by applying improved technology and management methods and introducing various value added products and better marketing strategies, the Company is trying to overcome these disadvantages.

 

Opportunities and Threats

 

The raw material for the plywood factory is softwood and for Hardboard Plant is waste wood. The availability of timber is subject to Government control and policies and it continues to be a scarce raw material. Therefore, Company has to depend on importing timber to meet its production requirements.
