PERFORMANCE

 

During the year the company achieved net sales of Rs. 670.00 Millions (previous year Rs. 631.100 Millions) and incurred net loss of Rs. 343.900 Millions (previous year 345.400 Millions). One of the major reason for the loss of the company is due to the continuous process of valuing inventory due to the introduction of new models, which results in some models moving slowly and may have to be sold at a lower price. As a matter of good corporate practice these are reviewed and discussed with the auditors and suitable provisioning is made while valuing the inventory. Likewise, debtors are being reviewed progressively and provisioning has been made after a detailed assessment. Otherwise given the fact that in this year the company had embarked on a phase of consolidation, after revamping in the last two years, the performance has been satisfactory since the company has retained its market and consolidated it's presence.

 

The encouraging part of the performance has been nearly 1.9 times increase in exports compared to the previous year and we are currently exporting to 16 countries. The exponential growth in exports is exported to continue in the current financial year.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The outlook for the industry in lndia is promising. The dereservation of the industry coupled with the excellence developed by the country in manufacturing tips and inks of international standards at competitive price has given the industry an edge, while the players in Europe, US and Japan have been faced with a struggling economy, cheap imports and limited scope for cost savings or price mark ups. Thus, they have been looking for quality imports and lndia is the preferred destination. The fact that Chinese products have attracted anti dumping duty coupled with the reluctance of international buyers to depend on one country for supplies has compelled them to look at lndia more closely. This has resulted in increasing exports from India. With a vibrant domestic market the players found themselves suddenly short of capacity and have embarked on expansion. The need to create a brand while catering to international market and the increasing recognition that the current generation is placing a lot of emphasis on brand the domestic players have hired Indian icons from the film and sporting world as their brand ambassadors.

 

The growth in matured markets i s likely to depend on how well companies Innovate and focus on manufacturing wide range of products. Meanwhile, in developing countries, growth could be attributed to rapid increase in population, literacy levels, and increasing demand for good quality writing gear, and effective pricing.

 

The market for writing instruments is vivid and active, even in the electronic age. A few warnings were signaled to the industry players by certain associations, highlighting increased application of hi-tech communication, and data transfer technologies. But, the threat was far from the reality. Writing instruments are still a vital part of daily routine of a school going child to an executive working in a hi-tech office. Innovations are key for market growth. However, environmental regulations are leaving their impact on the industry. Earlier, the industry had several negative aspects such as inks with toxic materials. However, nowadays producers are making it a point to contribute to environment protection. The market for Writing and Marking Instruments was affected by the economic recession during 2008-2009 and witnessed moderate growth till 2010. The export lead recovery in 2011 and the international appreciation of Indian writing instruments industry has opened a Pandora’s Box.

 

In conclusion one could say that the purple patch for the Writing instrument industry has begun and is likely to continue for a few years which could see exponential growth.

 

 

FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING

 

With the persistent efforts of the management and the support of the lenders the company’s case for restructuring under Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) mechanism was admitted in the CDR cell in 12th March, 2010. The final package was approved by the CDR empowered group in 24th September, 2010 paving way for the reemergence of the Company in the Writing Instrument and stationery space. Subsequently the Letter of approval was issued by the CDR Cell to the company. The company is on path of revival and is consolidating all business streams after two years of internal restructuring.

 

The Board expresses its gratitude to the Lenders for supporting the company at this crucial juncture.

 

The CDR package is expected to be implemented by 30th September 2011. This will facilitate the smooth working of the company and alignment of the loan repayment to the cash flow realities of the Business.

 

Some lenders and creditors have initiated winding up proceedings and recovery proceeding in DRT against the company to recover their dues. The Winding up proceeding instituted by HDFC (IARC) has been admitted by the high Court. The Company is confident of defending these Proceedings.

Industry Structure and Development

 

The industry has graduated post the dereservation at a fast pace and has been attracting serious international attention for it’s capabilities. The main players in the industry have embarked upon expansion sensing the opportunity and have been investing on brand building in a serious way. New entrants with financial muscle and background in FMCG business with a focus on global play are a new development in this sector.

 

These developments have altered the character of the industry which essentially had a family orientation and was considered a labour intensive SSI sector foray, to transform in to a medium scale industry with huge potential to acquire international character. In this emerging scenario we are working towards the objective of being a major player in the industry in the next four years.
