REVIEW OF OPERATIONS :

 

During the year, "Wagh Bakri", the flagship brand recorded value growth of 21.88% and strengthened its dominance in packet tea market in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Leveraging the strength of the premier brand "Wagh Bakri", the channel is now successfully employed to drive growth of other brands, namely, "Mili" and "Good Morning". The Directors feel proud to report that "Good Morning" brand recorded substantial value growth of 86.65% and "Mili" brand demonstrated the most outstanding contribution and achievement by contributing 51.17% of growth in value.

 

The Directors feel enthusiasm to report that the Company forayed into Hyderabad city continuing its expansion plans after entering into Goa and Delhi States in the previous year by launching Wagh Bakri I Mili I Good Morning Tea Packets under different pack sizes. In North, the Company is in the phase of expansion and currently operations are limited to Delhi. The Company has already achieved volume of sales to 10,000 kgs. per month.

 

The Company has achieved remarkable grow-th in Maharashtra by 100%. In Maharashtra, the Company crossed a milestone of 1,00,000 kgs. per month and launched brands across 34 districts. The Company as a part of customer development activities executed Ganesh Utsav, Star News event and trade development activities.

 

The Directors wish to state that the profitability of the Company has drastically improved during the year 2009-10. The Company has earned profit after tax of Rs.313.229 millions during the year as against Rs. 212.068 millions during the previous year, showing a rise of 47.70% despite tough marketing competition from the regional as well as Multinational Companies and global recession and exorbitant price rises in almost all commodities.

 

TEA SCENARIO

 

Whenever they think of prevailing tea market condition, they should always think of production, export and domestic consumption. Last calendar year 2009, the annual tea production of their country ending 31'' December 2009 was 979 million kgs. Which was very satisfactory and afterwards during January to May, 2010, there was adequate rain fall during April and May, 2010 as a result production of tea is satisfactory.

 

When they look at other tea producing countries like Sri Lanka and Kenya, where tea production is in excess during January to May, 2010 as compared to corresponding last year period from January to May, 2009, Sri Lanka is ahead by 20 million Kgs. And Kenya is ahead by 15 million Kgs. of Tea as the figures of May production published recently. So, overall availability of tea is very satisfactory at domestic market as well as at the overseas countries.

 

So far as export of their tea is concerned till date, it is not encouraging as there is less demand as compared to previous year. However, looking to overall picture, they hope that they might not have to pay high price for procurement of tea as they had paid during last year.

 

Looking to the prevailing conditions, they had taken lead in reducing prices of their brands by Rs.81- to Rs.121- per kg and if there would be further fall in procurement prices, they intend to reduce further during incoming months.

 

FINANCE

 

The Networth of the Company as at 31'' March, 2010 stands at Rs. 1328.300 millions and Book value of Equity share of the Company works out to Rs. 77.55 per share.

 

Inventories were maintained at optimum level by effective monitoring by proper use of bank borrowing during the year. The overall liquidity position of the Company was comfortable throughout the year.

 

During the Financial Year 2009-10, State Bank of India ( SBI ) renewed Working Capital Limit in June 2009 and also sanctioned Term Loan for expansion projects. The company availed the part of the working capital limit at concessional rate of interest for a period of three months during the year from SBI. Moreover, the company also availed unsecured short term loan for a period of six months during the year under review at concessional rate of interest from other Bank.

 

ICRA has upgraded the rating of the company for the fund based working capital facilities to LAA from LAA-. The outlook on the rating is stable.

 

EXPANSION PLANS

 

The construction work for setting up of Tea Blending factory and storage facilities at Dholka location is going on full fledged and is likely to complete by November, 2010. The Company has also placed an order for "Semi Automated Storage and Retrieval System [SASIRS]" with Godrej Efacec Automation and Robotics Limited. at new Dholka factory which will enhance overall effectiveness in storage and handling of materials within the factory premises. The Company has also placed an order for installing Proflex Roof System at new Dholka factory which is an innovative self supported roofing technology which ensures maintenance free life span of over five decades with utmost protection to the goods, machineries and human capital.

 

The Directors feel immense pleasure to report that shortly Tea Testing laboratory will be established at Khokhra location in Ahmedabad city with latest equipments and machineries.
