CHANGE OF ACCOUNTING YEAR

The previous Accounting year of the Company was for a period of 15 months from 01.04.2008 to 30.06.2009. The Board of Directors have decided to change the Accounting year so as to align the same with the Financial Year under the Income Tax Act,1961 and hence the current Accounting Year is for a period of nine months commencing from 01.07.2009 and ending on 31.03.2010.

 

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The company manufactures phosphatic fertilizers viz., Single Super Phosphate (SSP) in both Powder and Granular form along with Mixed Fertilizers, Sulphuric Acid and Soya oil. The concession scheme announced by the Govt. w.e.f. 01.05.2008 envisaged uniform MRP @ Rs. 3400/- per MT with differential concession payment based on prevailing rate of Rock Phosphate and Sulphur and this scheme was revised w.e.f. 01.10.2009 by implementing fixed ad-hoc subsidy of Rs. 2000/- per MT with open selling price of SSP. It may be pertinent to note that Govt. of India thankfully finalized the revised Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) Policy effective from 01.05.2010 and this placed SSP industry at par with other complex manufacturers. Moreover, the main objective of shifting from product-based subsidy (PBS) to nutrientbased subsidy (NBS) regime was to restore soil health by addressing the nutrient imbalances since sulphur has also been considered as one of the nutrients, which was neglected till now. The capacity utilization during the period was 70.22% as against 58.79% reported for 15 months period ended 30.06.2009 which is considered to be highest in the industry of there size and operations.

 

This increase in increased capacity utilization was mainly due to availability of Rock Phosphate and better management of working capital with support from consortium member banks. The Company also decided to concentrate on other products like mixed fertilizers – NPK of various grades, Sulphuric acid, Oleum and Sulphur Trading activities etc. The company was granted permission to manufacture value-added product viz. Boronated SSP at there Indore unit. The combined results of the activities undertaken ultimately helped the Company in improving the bottom line.

 

During the period Soya industry underwent huge speculative business resulted into mismatch between seed procurement price and oil and de-oiled cake price. This led to unviable operations during the entire season and thus there was lack lusture performance in the industry. During the period, the company took cautious move and decided to go slow by under-utilising the facility. However, this approach ultimately helped in incurring avoidable losses.

 

Due to implementation of CDR package and with the infusion of promoters contribution commensurating with reduction of debt burden, the company could able to substantially reduce interest burden of the company which has helped in improving financials.

 

Due to proposed allotment of 1,21,36,190 equity shares of Rs. 10/- each at a premium of Rs. 20/-, equity base will go up from present level to Rs. 176.900 Millions.

 

During the period, the company has entered into settlement with some of the secured lenders.

 

The Directors are hopeful that all round efforts made by the Company in achieving production efficiency, improving brand image and thriving for higher capacity utilization, will help the Company to stay afloat in competitive market. Various reliefs and concessions approved by CDR-EG will further strengthen Company’s position.

 

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS

With the establishment of its brand leadership in M.P. and Maharashtra states, company would be in a position to reap benefits in the days to come. The Management is also planning to plunge in a big way in Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh markets. The company also proposes to import and trade in P and K Fertilizers viz. MOP, DAP etc., which would also be consumed for various grades of NPK fertilizers. In view of increasing trend in consumption of Mixed fertilizers, company is increasing its production at Indore and Pune plants which remained under utilised as of now. Company is also introducing Boronated SSP in Indore market to take advantage of better realization and also to improve its capacity utilization.

 

The management is hopeful to encash the opportunity of increased soya sowing subsequent to good monsoon in the year and thus will revive its soya seed crushing and refining activities at its Indore plant.

 

The Directors are glad to inform you that with the implementation of Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) policy, which envisages at-par treatment with other complex fertilizers, will help in improving capacity utilization and performance of the company in the years to come.

 

With better financial management within the existing available limits and also reduction in overall debts and timely support from bankers, the Management is hopeful to improve its operations and achieve better results in coming years.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

Fertilizer : Company is predominantly engaged in Single Super Phosphate (SSP) business which is the most popular fertilizer in farming community. SSP provides basic nutrients like Phosphorous, Calcium and Sulphur which enhances soil fertility. The production of SSP remained almost stagnant during the current decade with intermittent troughs and peaks in the trend. The production of SSP showed significant increase to the tune of 53% during Kharif 2009 over Kharif 2008. However, the production of SSP did not show any perceptible change during Rabi 2009-10 and increased marginally by 2% and thus overall production of SSP increased by 22.1% during the full year 2009-10 over 2008-09.

 

All India capacity utilization of SSP improved from 36.2% during 2008-09 to 40.4% during 2009-10 Followed by a good increase in production during Kharif 2009, the total dispatch of SSP increased by 36.4% during Kharif 2009 over Kharif 2008. However, as a result of change in policy w.e.f. 01.10.2009, the dispatch of SSP declined by 16% during Rabi 2009-10 over Rabi 2008-09. In nutshell, with higher quantum of dispatch during Kharif’09 and lower quantum during Rabi 2009-10, overall despatches of SSP increased by 6.5% only during the full year 2009-10 as it touched 2.784 million tones during 2009-10 as against 2.615 million tones during 2008-09. It may be pertinent to note that Govt. of India thankfully finalized the revised Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) Policy effective from 01.05.2010 and this placed SSP industry at par with other complex manufacturers. Moreover, the main objective of shifting from product-based subsidy (PBS) to nutrientbased subsidy (NBS) regime was to restore soil health by addressing the nutrient imbalances since sulphur has also been considered as one of the nutrients, which was neglected till now. This policy hopefully would popularize SSP fertilizer in the market and boost its consumption. The all India installed capacity of SSP increased from 7.459 million tonnes during 2008-09 to 7.939 million tonnes at the end of 2009-10 with effective capacity utilization of 7.660 million tonnes during the year 2009-10.

 

However, during the period between 01.05.2008 and 30.09.2009 when the concession payment was linked with international prices of Rock Phosphate and Sulphur, there was marginal increase in capacity utilisation with overall production of SSP 3.093 million tonnes with industry average of 40.4% capacity utilisation.

 

Soya Oil : Soya based edible oil is becoming popular due to nutritional value on one hand and competitive prices on the other. As on date, majority of middle and upper-middle class population is shifting to Soya oil from the traditional consumption pattern. It is interesting to note that Soya seed growing pattern has been spreading from M.P. to neighbouring states like Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka etc., due to remunerative prices to farmers. It is worthwhile to note that consumption of soya is gradually increasing on account of the properties of oil it contains and also due to high protein content. Traditionally soya meal is used to provide low cost hi-protein feed to animals; but of late, soya meal is also slowly being used for human consumption due to high nutritional value.

 

In the years to come, the pattern is likely to grow further and it will definitely help Soya industry to grow further. Due to this property, Soya meal demand is also growing steadily in domestic market for both human as well as animal consumption.

 

Soya oil in its crude form is the most traded oil in international market after palm oil. Soybean accounts for more than 50% of the world oilseeds production and around 35% of the beans production is traded in world market. USA is the biggest producer of soybeans at 38% followed by Brazil at 25% and Argentina at 19%.

 

Moreover, Soybean oil is the second leading vegetable oil traded in international market after palm. Palm and Soyabean oils together constitute around 68% global oil trade volume and Soyabean oil alone constitutes 22.85% on the whole. India is the sixth largest producer of Soya oil which account of 4% of world production. In India, Madhya Pradesh produces estimated 53% of the country’s soybean followed by Maharashtra at 34% and Rajasthan at 8%. It is sown during June-July period and harvested bt October. The domestic production of Soyabean is around 1.4 million tonne in 2009-10. Almost 70 to 80% of total oilseed production is crushed for oil while the balance quantity goes for food, feed and seed use in the country. So, total soya oil production is around 0.7 – 0.8 million tonne in 2009-10 while annual consumption is around 2.0 to 2.2 million tonne.

 

SEGMENTWISE PERFORMANCE

The requisite information regarding Segment wise performance has been given in the Notes forming part of the Accounts.

 

OUTLOOK

With the introduction of Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) policy, company is hopeful to perform at its optimum level considering basic strength, brand image and strategic location advantage of plants. The company is hopeful to continue to maintain its leadership in the states of operation viz. Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Sensing the opportunity, company plans to crush soya at optimum level.

 

Hopefully with the above initiatives, company would be in a position to deliver superior returns to the stake holders.

PRESS RELEASE:

 

 

Accord Fintech (India)

17.08.2011

 

India, August 17 -- Rama Phosphates Limited has informed BSE that the 26th Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held on Friday the 30.09.2011 at 10.00 a.m. at Babasaheb Dahanukar Hall, Oricon House, 12, K. Dubash Marg, Fort, Mumbai- 400001. Published by HT Syndication with permission from ACCORD FINTECH BSE.

 

 

Aii Data Processing Limited

18.02.2011

 

(ADPnews) – 18.02.2011 - Indian rating agency CRISIL today reaffirmed the ratings on a cash credit facility and a proposed long-term bank loan facility of Rama Phosphates Limited at BB-/"stable".

 

The agency issued the following press release:

 

Rs.362.700 Million Cash Credit Facility* BB-/Stable (Reaffirmed)

 

Rs.65.700 Million Proposed Long-Term Bank Loan Facility BB-/Stable (Reaffirmed)

 

Rs.101.600 Million Letter of Credit^# P4+ (Reaffirmed)

 

*Includes Adhoc limit of Rs.45.000 Million, ^ Fully interchangeable with Bank Guarantee

 

# Includes Adhoc limit of Rs.10.000 Million

 

CRISIL has reaffirmed its ratings of �BB-/Stable/P4+� on the bank facilities of Rama Phosphates Limited (RPL).

The ratings continue to reflect RPL�s susceptibility to adverse changes in government regulations and its limited track record of profitable operations. These weaknesses are partially offset by the benefits RPL derives from the Government of India�s nutrient-based subsidy for single super phosphate (SSP) manufacturers.

 

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that RPL�s credit risk profile will remain stable over the medium term, backed by expected growth in revenues and profitability. The outlook may be revised to �Positive� if the company achieves more-than-expected profitability and net cash accruals while efficiently managing its working capital. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to �Negative� if the company�s revenues, operating margin, and operating cycle weaken, exerting significant pressure on its profitability and liquidity, or if adverse regulatory changes impact its growth and profitability, thereby weakening its credit risk profile.

 

Update

The company moved out of the purview of the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction in December 2010, after settling all financial obligations by October 2010. In November 2010, the central government announced changes to its nutrient-based subsidy policy on fertilizers. The subsidy on phosphate was slashed by nearly 20 per cent and around 16 � 17 per cent on other nutrients; these changes will take effect starting April 2011. CRISIL believes that the lower subsidy for SSP manufacturers may result in the increase in the farm gate price of SSP and adversely affect the competitiveness of SSP vis-�-vis other fertilizers. This may also adversely affect the revenues and profitability of RPL. However, recent announcement by the government to increase the subsidy on the nutrients might be favorable to the revenue growth of RPL. CRISIL will closely monitor the impact of regulatory changes on RPL�s credit risk profile.

 

About the Company

RPL, incorporated in 1984, was promoted by the Ramsinghani family. The company manufactures SSP, sulphuric acid, and soya oil. Its three manufacturing facilities in Pune (Maharashtra), Indore (Madhya Pradesh), and Udaipur (Rajasthan) have a capacity of 4,62,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) for SSP, 1,83,600 tpa for sulphuric acid, 1,20,000 tpa for soya crushing, and 30,000 tpa for refining. It is currently owned and managed by Mr. Daulat Jaisingh Ramsinghani and his son, Mr. Haresh Daulat Ramsinghani.
