LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Subject was incorporated on 9th February 1962 at Manipal in Karnataka having Company Registration No. 08-1443.

 

The company was originally incorporated with the name and style of “Karnataka Consumer Products Limited”. The name of the company has been changed as “KURLON LIMITED” w.e.f. 14th March, 1996.

 

PERFORMANCE

 

During the year the Company has achieved a 11% increase in total income at Rs. 4088.133 millions compared to Rs.3672.506 millions of previous year. The Profit before tax is 336.210 millions in the current year compared to Rs.244.096 millions of the previous year. The profit after tax is increased from Rs. 142.735 millions to Rs. 210.711 millions during the year..

 

OPERATIONS

 

This fiscal year has remained a challenging year for the company. Widening our product range by introducing many innovative and ’first time' products, your company continued to penetrate into tier 2 and 3 markets and added new dealer counters with an aim to enlarge the market share. In addition to that, all our marketing activities this year were entirely focused on customer service especially on improvement in commitment of deliveries.

 

Introduction of new products enabled your company to get in to different segments of the market and improve the offerings to the dealer segment as well as varied choice for the end users. Kurlon became one of the very few manufacturers offering range of products not only in mattresses but also in bedlinen, furniture, pillows and furnishings giving opportunities for the trading segment to get variety of products from one source like Kurlon. We also noticed the change in behavior of the consumers using health care products and involve in purchase of mattresses where they spend 1/3rd of their life time. There was improvement in sales of spring mattresses where the No turn technology gets an edge over competition and your company plans to expand this market and put up manufacturing units for becoming a major player in this segment too. The innovative mattresses, Valentino, Triazo and other luxury Healthcare mattresses are being welcomed by the dealers as well as customers in the marketplace. It was yet another successful year for Kurlon Kare Klub members, with their continued patronage; it gives us great confidence to enter newer markets. Extraordinary growth resulted from this segment of dealers.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

As an established player in the mattress industry the Company envisage enough opportunity and potential for growth in the future. On the basis of potential for growth in foam industry, the Company has established a new manufacturing plant in Uttaranchal, which is expected to grow and stabilize production during the current year. As per the Company’s strategic initiative, ample of opportunities are available in the segment of home-comfort business in India. As Indian economy is growing with high velocity, it is expected that furniture and furnishing industry will also grow with the same rate thereby giving an opportunity of growth in this segment to Kurlon in future. Export business for mattress and furniture is being looked in to by the Company. During the year, the  Company was able to further expand its export business to Middle East Countries. To supervise, control and systematically operate distribution network which is already established in Middle East countries, the  Company incorporated its wholly owned subsidiary named Kurlon International Trade (FZE) in a Free Trade Zone Area of Sharjah- UAE.

 

JOINT VENTURE

 

The Joint Venture between Kurlon and Cesare’s has terminated during the year due to unavoidable continuous losses. Joint- Venture Company ‘Kurlon Cesare Furniture Private Limited.’, remains a subsidiary Company of Kurlon Limited and continues to carry on its business under Kurlon supervision and banner.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

As per requirement of Section 212 of the Companies Act, 1956 the Profit and Loss Account for the year ended 31st March 2010 and the Balance Sheet as on that date and the reports of Directors and Auditors of M/s. Kurlon Cesare Furniture Private Limited, statement of the holding company’s interest in the subsidiary companies is attached to the Balance Sheet of the Company. Another wholly owned subsidiary Company M/s. Kurlon International Trade (FZE) has been recently incorporated in the financial year 2010-11, is yet to start its business and earn significant revenue.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDIAN ECONOMY AND GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKETS:

 

The year 2009 began with a very high degree of uncertainty and volatility in India as well as the global economy. Global Financial Markets have recovered strongly in 2009 since their troughs in aftermath of the collapse of Lehman Brothers in middle of 2008. This recovery was spurred by improving economic fundamentals and sustained policy support. Risk appetite has returned, equity markets have improved and capital markets have reopened. After three continuous years of over 9% growth, shrinking global demand and associated fall in business confidence had reduced India’s annual GDP growth rate to 6.7% in 2008-09. The sluggishness continued in the beginning of 2009-10 especially leading up to the general election. With the election throwing up a stable Government, there was renewed confidence among investors in India. Thereafter, we have witnessed a steady pick-up in economic and investing activity, especially since the middle of the second quarter. The estimate from CSO ( Central Statistical Organization) suggests that GDP growth for 2009-10 will be 7.2%. whatever the number, it is clear that India has recovered and is poised to be back on its 8% plus annual growth trajectory.

 

As per the quick estimates of Index of Industrial Production and Use-based Index for the month of April, 2010, the Sectoral growth rates in April 2010 over April 2009 are 8.8% in Basic goods, 72.8% in Capital goods and 10.8% in Intermediate goods. The Consumer durables and Consumer non-durables have recorded growth of 37.0% and 6.6% respectively, with the overall growth in Consumer goods being 14.5%.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

The Company is not only in industry of rubberized coir mattresses, foam mattresses and spring mattresses but also in furniture and furnishing industry. Among mattresses, rubberized coir and foam mattresses have the larger share of the market. Currently, the global annual production of coir fiber is about 350,000 metric tons (MT) out of which 90% is produced in India and Srilanka though underutilized. Traditional uses for the resilient and durable coir fiber include rope and twine, brooms and brushes, doormats, rugs, mattresses and other upholstery, often in the form of rubberized coir pads. In the 1980s and 90s, global exports of coir fiber fell by almost half, as Western consumers shifted to synthetic foam and fibers. The exports from this industry are around Rs. 700.000 millions. Coconut husk is the basic raw material for coir products. Around 50 per cent of the available coir husk is used to produce coir products. Hence, there is scope for growth of coir industry vis-a-vis rubberized coir mattresses. As regards, foam mattresses, the most important ingredient for the production of the same is POLYOL + ISOCYANATE + CATALYSTS + SURFACTANTS + BLOWING AGENTS = POLYURETHANE FOAM. This chemicals are being imported and easily available in the market. Depending on the type of polyol and isocyanine used the generated foam exhibits different properties vis-ŕ-vis different types of mattresses. India will consume 1 kg of polyurethane (PU) per capita by 2020 at 1200,000 tpa, as per a conservative estimate by the Chairman of the Indian Polyurethane Association (IPUA). Current per capita PU consumption in India is about 200 grams. The 1 kg per capita target will be possible, depending mainly on easing bureaucracy by the government that will speed up some of the processes and make it easy to set up factories and help to build infrastructure, as well as initiatives by the industry. At annual consumption levels of 180,000 tons of Polyurethane (PU) in 2007, India has just about 1.5% share of the global PU consumption of 11.25 min tons. In the last few years PU has grown at over 15% pa, and is expected to continue to be robust at an average rate of 15%. PU consumption in 2012 could reach more than 350,000 tons and could possibly touch 400,000 tons. India has a population of over one billion people, of which it is estimated less than 10% sleeps on a foam-based mattress. Hence there exists a good growth potential growth for PU foam in India. However, the dominance of natural bedding products, at times subsidized or protected by import duties on substitute materials, has also hindered the market penetration of PU foams at times. The Indian bedding market is substantial and dominated by low cost coir (coconut fiber), latex and cotton mattresses, but people are increasingly looking to upgrade to higher quality products made from or incorporating PU foam.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Company has set up manufacturing facilities for foam in Uttaranchal and a unit for sofa manufacturing in Bangalore during the current year. Kurlon is one of the very few branded manufacturing unit in India. Kurlon expects to emerge as a major player in this segment. There are huge opportunities for exports in European market as well. As expected Kurlon crossed a Turnover of Rs. 4000.000 millions during the year and maintained leadership position in mattress segment. Kurlon, has positioned itself a supplier of varied range of mattresses and introduced healthcare products which was welcomed by dealers as well as consumers.

WEBSITE DETAILS ATTACHED:

 

Subject is into the business of pure comfort. A head start in the business in 1962 by Mr. Ramesh Pai, the chairman, it is now looking into an extensive brand extension, and a complete makeover - from sleep comfort, to home comfort.

 

To give its expanding activities a definite direction and a wider dimension, Subject is repositioning itself as a major player in the comfort industry rather than a leader in just the mattress business. Thus operating on a larger canvas, the company will have more room to grow, and will manufacture a whole wide range of trusted quality products for its customers.

 

Subject is a Manipal Group Company came into existence in 1962. The Company was then called 'Karnataka Consumer Products Ltd' and on the 8th of December, 1995 the Company was renamed as Subject .

 

Subject is part of the 2,000 crore Manipal Group of companies founded by the Pai's of Manipal which is a major financial and industrial group in India. The Group has its activities spread over Financial Services, Manufacturing, Education, Electronic Commerce, Software Services, Share Broking, etc. The Group is headed by Mr. T. Ramesh U. Pai who is the Chairman of the Group. Mr. Pai is on the Boards of several well-known Industrial, Commercial and Educational Enterprises.

 

Subject was conceived when Mr. Pai was in Germany in 1959. He found that car seat cushions were manufactured of rubberised coir. The manufacturer was importing curled coir from Sri Lanka.In India, the coir industry has developed very well, mostly in Kerala where they produce 'Retted Fibre'. Green husks of coconut are immersed in the salty backwaters for 10 to 12 months and the retted husk is supplied to various homes to make Mats and Matting rolls after producing the yarn from this fibre. This has created employment to many women in the State.

 

Austrian technology was available to extract fibre from the dried coconut husk and curl it into ropes and keep it in that state for minimum 3 months. When uncurled, curled coir becomes tiny springs. The cars manufactured in India in 60s were very few in numbers. It was uneconomical to start the moulded product out of the rubberised coir to manufacture car seat cushions. After a lot of experiments and quality control steps, Mr.Ramesh Pai thought of entering into Rubberised Coir mattress manufacturing. Thus, Subject was born. became one of the most popular mattresses providing restful sleep to Indian consumers.

 

Today Subject has created direct employment over 1000 people and indirect employment to lakhs of coir workers across the sub-continent. Subject's success is built on a solid infrastructure and its powerful marketing strength. The Company has 44 Sales Offices, which are profit centers, strategically located all over the country. All the centers are working on and trade terms. The Company products are exported to West Asia viz; U.A.E., Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, UK, Europe, South and East of Africa, Indian Ocean rim, SAARC, South East and Far East countries.

 

Subject is the brand leader in the industry and has acquired major market share in the branded mattresses segment. Taking advantage of the market potential, Subject strongly believes in giving the customers quality products of a wide range at competitive prices, which will result in customer satisfaction.

 

Kurlon Nest

Kurlon has been dedicated to the comfort and convenience of its customers for years. With their convenience in mind, Kurlon has conceptualized a chain of outlets to bring the whole range of comfort products, under one roof.

 

Kurlon Nest offers you the entire range of home and sleep comfort products arranged in an exquisitely arranged platter, in the form of its showrooms. It encompasses the feel of a home, with an excellently, trained customer support group for  assistance. Currently functioning in Delhi, and Bangalore, prospects of opening more outlets of Kurlon Nest across India will materialize in the near future.
