OPERATIONS

 

The turnover of the Company for the 15 month period ended 30th June 2011 was Rs.6241.400 millions which, on annualized basis, shows an increase of 40.50% over the previous year. The Polyester Staple Fibre (PSF) turnover which increased to Rs.2985.000 millions, showing an increase of about 24% on annualized basis. PSF business continues to be remunerative due to Company’s thrust on colour / specialty fibres. While the polymer business remained at the same level, preform business showed a decline. The reasons for the same are: The global recession continued during the first half of 2010-11 affecting the exports front to a considerable extent. As the benefits from exports are not significant, the Company has exited from the status of EOU during the year. This transition had its initial impact on the profitability of the Company. In the Preform business, the entry of number of small players receiving Government support / concessional tariff has not only affected the volume but also the profitability of the business at large.

 

The Company suffered an operating loss of Rs.391.600 millions during the fifteen month period. This loss is substantially higher when compared with previous year. The main reasons for the loss are declining margins due to high raw material cost and the severe competition in Preforms business. Further, some restrictions imposed by Authorities on import of bottle grade scrap resulted in shortage of raw material and consequent slow down in production. The cost of power continues to be high due to power cut imposed by State Government. The increase in price of bio mass fuel (for generation steam) further added to the cost push.

 

Polyester Staple Fibre business continues to show steady improvement both in volume and margins. Domestic demand is contributing to higher turnover and margins.

 

The reduction in Preforms turnover is mainly due to increased tolling contract (i.e. billing value addition only and not the raw material cost) with Multi National Corporations. The company’s thrust continues to be in reducing its dependence on commodity preforms and the severe competition due to the entry of many players.

 

The company is making earnest efforts to raise additional interest free resources through sale of part of its premises to repay high cost debts and reduce interest burden as well as to induct additional working capital. The promoter group had brought in substantial amounts of interest free funds to sustain the operations. The Company is confident of meeting the challenges posed by the current economic recession and high interest cost through development of niche and specialty products and by infusion of additional funds.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

 

The Company has incorporated a subsidiary by the name FPL Property Developers Private Limited. This Company was formed essentially with a limited purpose of acquiring and developing part of the Company’s premises at Chennai, in case the Company is not in a position to find a buyer for the premises and accordingly an enabling MOU was entered into with the subsidiary for this purpose. The subsidiary status of this company is temporary in nature and will not continue as a subsidiary for long.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and marketing activities of Polyester products namely Polymer, Preforms and Polyester staple Fibre (PSF). The corporate focus is on manufacture and sale of “Specialty products” across all segments, especially environmental friendly green products.

Fibre demand in the domestic sector showed high growth, especially in the specialty fibre sector in which they operate. Demand for black fibres and colour fibres went up, from both branded as well as unbranded sectors.

 

PET resin business in the country and abroad grew on annualised basis. Domestic PET market for both carbonated soft drinks and water grew at around 20%.

 

PET Preform business saw growth of many small and medium sized players. MNCs overall are rapidly shifting from glass to PET leading to growth of this industry. However, they are also putting huge pressure on the conversion price, which is influenced by very low operating costs of new machines.

 

PERFORMANCE

 

During the year the accounting period was extended to fifteen month period between April, 2010 to June, 2011. The figures are therefore not comparable with that of previous year. The Polyester Staple Fibre sales during the period under review was more than last year, though volume was less. The reduction in volume is due to the company’s continuing strategy of concentration more on specialty segment. These efforts resulted in improved sales realization. In exports the margins continues to suffer due to the global economic scenario. The company’s raw material cost however increased substantially affecting margins.

 

The polyester resin industry did continue to improve compared to previous year mainly due to improvement in domestic supplies. Export segment showed improvement more particularly specialty segment. The increased raw material cost situation did affect the, margins not compensated by the increase in selling price due to continuing global economic situation. Major repairs planned could not be resorted due to difficult cash flow situation thereby affecting the company’s ability for better product mix. The low capacity utilization also contributed to low profit margins. Even though the capacity utilization was better than the Previous year the increased raw material cost resulted in lower margins.

 

Preform business showed a stable volume but was slightly lower than last year on annualized basis, due reduced offtake by MNC’s. The sale value was less on an annulised basis due to increased tolling contract undertaken for MNC’s.

 

The gross turnover of the company for the year ended 30th June, 2011 was Rs.6241.400 millions (15 Months) compared with Rs.4143.400 millions (12 Months) during the previous year. The continuing higher cost of energy as well as increased cost in raw material has all contributed to a net loss of Rs.358.400 millions.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The outlook for polyester Fibre business is quite encouraging. This market has shown some signs of recovery during the last year. The Company’s specialty products are expected to continue to grow in volume. R and D efforts are progressing to add more coloured Fibres as well as specialities like Flame Retardant, Cationic Dyeable Polyesters, High Shrink, Engineering fibres etc. The Company’s batch processing facility will be of great help to develop more and more specialty fibres.

 

In respect of polymers the export sentiment is favourable, the domestic demand is growing, but so is competition, compounded by excess capacity in India. The Company is confident of improving its capacity utilisation and market share in the coming years with better focus on Recycling, specialty products and selective debottlenecking. Polymers will continue to focus more on niche products such as PCRPET, Thermoforming Specialities, PBT, Jarpet, Hot fill Juice resin etc. thus consolidating its position further as a speciality player in the resin market.

 

Outlook for the PET Preform business remains encouraging with the company’s satisfactory order book position. There is substantial growth in Preform market and the company is evaluating various opportunities, both for additional capacity as well as in niche market such as small CSD bottles, Hot Fill juices and Jarpet for bulk water packaging. In order to tide over the power crisis in Tamil Nadu, the Company has tied up with new private power manufacturers (Wind power / biomass power) so that the production capacity is fully supported on power front.
