LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OVERVIEW

 

During the year 2010-11, the Company achieved a Turnover of Rs. 763.800 Millions (a decrease of 7.38 % in comparison to the previous year) and recorded a loss (after tax) of Rs. 136.700 Millions (a reduction in loss by approximately 65%).

 

 

REASONS FOR COMPANYS ADVERSE PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL POSITION

 

The Company had, in financial year 2009-10, incurred a loss of Rs. 474.200 Millions (before tax) and had to seek restructuring of its loan repayment and interest payment obligations under the Corporate Debt Re-structuring (CDR) Scheme. Consequently the Company was strained for cash to run its operations for much of the year and the situation gradually began easing from the end of third quarter of 2010-11, when the CDR scheme was approved. The Company also had to deal with several other crises during the period including the need to rebuild/strengthen the organization with number of recruitments. The Company after discussion with its Lenders sought restructuring of its loan repayment and interest payment obligations under the CDR Scheme in August 2010. Approval of the CDR-Empowered Group was received vide letter ref. BY. CDR (SB) / No./2010-11 dated 22/11/10 thereby revising inter-alia the repayment schedule for the various loans of existing loans, reduction in rate of interest on existing term loans, reduction in rates of interest on working capital, along with certain obligations placed on the promoters of the Company. The Company greatly appreciates the understanding and cooperation rendered by the various Lending Banks in enabling the Company to gradually resume normal operations and rebuild the business. As per the terms of the approved re-structuring proposal, 10% of the outstanding term loan and working capital short term loan as on cut-off date amounting to Rs. 139.697 Millions was converted into 0.001% Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares (CRPS).The promoters, Balmer Lawrie and Company Limited were consequently issued CRPS of Rs. Rs 133.000 Millions against conversion of the unsecured loan (Rs. 73.000 Millions) and fresh infusion of funds (Rs. 60.000 Millions) as per the approved CDR Scheme and the approval granted by the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Members held on Tuesday the 1st of March, 2011.

 

 

BUSINESS

 

The Company is engaged in several segments of the logistics industry including manufacturing and marketing of a wide range of value added and speciality freight containers and other container-based solutions. The Company businesses have been categorized into four Strategic Business Units (SBUs) as under:

Apart from these SBUs, the company operates a facility for Freight Container repair and refurbishment at Kolkata.

 

Indian Container Leasing:

 

The Company owns a large fleet of freight containers of wide variety. This SBU undertakes leasing of containers in domestic as well as for international operations. Domestic leasing, which accounts for the bulk of the fleet and revenue, caters to sectors like Rail, Road, Coastal Shipping and Storage needs. CONCOR, Private Rail Operators and Coastal Shipping Companies are the main customers.

 

Logistics:

 

Through this SBU, the Company provides containerized transportation / supply chain solutions including warehousing and warehouse management/ distribution services to its customers. The operations of the SBU may be classified as under:

 

a)       Transafe Indo Trailer Logistics: Indo Trailer carries containerized products like televisions, refrigerators, tyres, yarn etc. It offers logistics services on hub-to-hub mode and also on door-to-door basis. The SBU also operates a fleet of speciality tankers which carry high value performance chemicals. It has clients like Godrej, Good Year, HLL, Sony, LG Electronics, Samsung, Galaxy Surfactants Limited, Exide, ITC, BPCL, MSTCL etc.

 

b)       Glacio Cold Chain Logistics: The Company with the largest fleet of refrigerated containers in the country also offers truck/ trailer- mounted refrigerated container service.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

 

The logistic space in India is poised to grow by 15% annually in the coming years, which is expected to offer good opportunity for growth for leasing business in the organized corporate sector. Among the major logistic segments, the market size of containerized rail transportation is estimated to be over Rs.30000.000 Millions. This sector shows good potential for the coming years and is poised for high growth. Coastal shipping also has good potential. This situation offers bright prospects for leasing of containers where the Company is the pioneer and leader in the Country as well as for manufacture and sale of containers. Though India is the leading producer of fruits and vegetables, large quantity of these goods are wasted due to lack of appropriate storage and transportation facilities/ practices. Hence, cold chain segment of the logistics industry including refrigerated transportation and warehousing is emerging as a critical high growth component of supply chain networks in India. This activity is projected to grow very significantly with the growth of organized retailing in the country. The Company has strong credentials in all aspects of cold chain logistics including manufacturing, leasing and operating refrigerated containers. Creative Container segment has been catering to the specific requirement of clients like Army, Navy, Defence establishments, space research and scientific organizations, oil exploration companies, companies operating in industrial/ infrastructure sectors for bunk houses, laboratory and workshop containers. Considering the emphasis on the development of the country infrastructure including the strengthening of railway network and operations (growth of private rail operations, rail connectivity to private ports,

creation of dedicated freight corridors etc), growth of the core sector industries, increased level of activities by ISRO and scientific research organization, there is good market prospect for custom-built containers and container-based solutions. The company has certain high value speciality product prototypes under advanced stage of approvals. The company also holds approval from Lloyd Register, UK and DG of Shipping for manufacturing ISO Tank containers which have a huge potential. The healthy growth of the manufacturing sector in the country coupled with the investment in infrastructure has opened up unprecedented opportunities for growth of the logistics industry. The Company has established itself as a preferred high-end logistics service provider for many leading corporates in the country operating in segments like FMCG, white goods and other consumer durables where the Company products like Indo Trailers are the preferred mode of transportation.
