REVIEW OF KEY BUSINESS MATTERS

 

The optimism of the early part of the year, following a GDP growth @8.4% during previous two years, gave way to revised estimates projecting a lower growth @6.9%primarily due to lower industrial production; the Indian economy battled challenges including but not limited to forex volatility and managing price stability. Additional pressures stemmed from a deteriorating global scene, European debt crises and its possibility of impact on financial markets. Domestic constraints of inflation, rising interest and costs and general negative sentiment affected customer confidence. However, despite this largely negative background the Company’s operating results improved and should be considered generally satisfactory. But their optimism remains cautious due to uncertainties arising from volatile markets and sentiment, inflation and high financial costs.

 

Total Sales were Rs. 3072.400 Millions. Gross Profit from continuing businesses improved by14% to Rs. 185.747 Millions despite marginal fall in volume from 21,887 MT to 20,453 MT. Profits from Discontinued Business were higher on pro-rata basis. Performance is dealt with in greater detail in the Managements’ Discussion and Analysis Report.

 

The year witnessed material progress in strategic initiatives of the Company, particularly completion of sale of the Thermo sets Division at Ranjangaon (manufacturing Thermoset Moulding Powders and Synthetic Resins) in an all-cash transaction on a going concern and slump sale basis. Completion of merger of erstwhile subsidiary Biax Specialty Films Private Limited was informed in their last Report. The proceeds from the above sale, after tax and partial reduction of debt, are supplementing finances for growth and expansion of core businesses.

 

Their strategic intent for BOPP and Cast films is towards specialization in certain types of films (including thin, dielectric, hygiene and metalized films). The plants at Barjoraand Pithampur both concentrate on thin BOPP Films for special applications and the Company remains the only indigenous producer of such films; both plants operated at high utilization levels. Considering the sustainable potential in domestic and export markets, and the capabilities of the Company, capacity enhancement had been proposed and implementation is proceeding on schedule.

 

After years of sustained growth the consumer durables industry – particularly Refrigerators (a significant client base for the Company) turned in a negative growth performance, affecting off-take of sheets and liners. However this seems to be only aphase, as the industry continues to have good prospects going forward; to meet future needs capacities at Greater Noida and Ranjangaon were enhanced. Coex facilities at Ranjangaon are being systematically moved to a neighbouring location, as sale of Thermo set Division included the area where these were operating.

 

Employees Stock Option ("ESOP") Schemes are implemented in accordance with SEBI Guidelines. Details of options granted and outstanding along with other particulars, as required, are annexed hereto.

 

 

COMPANY AND INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

 

Company operations are focused in their segment of core competence viz. Polymers Business and following disposal of the Thermo sets Division structured into 2 operating Divisions. Each operating division has been kept self-sufficient managerially to perform its own duties and functions, with support provided at a corporate level as and when required. Asummary of performance is given below.

The industry structure in the field of polymers processing is spread wide, fromminiscule to fairly large capacities. There is no direct thumb-rule in terms of "sizevs. Profitability" and it is possible for players to work out their own viable economics depending upon various factors, mainly a combination of product mix and market segment or niche. Supply chain linkages to clients play an additional role for some. Since polymers are freely available at prices synchronized to global prices, market focus besides technical and service competence has been the key to success.

 

It is fair to say that the Company is a mid-sized player with significant strengths in its market segments, but remains subject to usual market pressures. In the overall, the Company’s operations are relatively capital intensive; raw material and power constitute the largest proportions of direct costs. hey believe that opportunities are substantial both in terms of market growth and product diversity and that threats from replacement products are not significant. The main raw materials used by the Company are Thermoplastic Resins (such as Polypropylene, Styrenic Polymers and LD/LLD Polyethylene, etc.).

 

They firmly recognize that total customer satisfaction is the key to their success. Their aim is to build sound customer relationships through creation of value for them, and in the process earn an equitable return for themselves. Quality is built into products through appropriate manufacturing technology and work methods. Manufacturing at all units is carried out by suitably qualified personnel under strict quality standards. Continuous product development for specific applications has helped us in proactively developing technically sustainable solutions with clear customer benefits. Quality Systems at all manufacturing units are certified under relevant ISO 9001:2008 standards.

 

Biax Division

 

Biax Division manufactures a range of coextruded Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene ("BOPP") Films and Dielectric Films on sophisticated, automated production lines, having multipurpose use in applications ranging from food packaging to specialized films for use in electronics, besides being used for print lamination, cigarette overwraps, adhesive tape etc. Per capita consumption of packaging products in the Asia-Pacific markets remains well below that of Europe and North America, signifying good potential. Flexible packaging in India has been developing and driven by prevailing low consumption of flexible packaging in India in line with changing consumption patterns for packaged food and other convenience products and trends in retail. With BOPP films constituting a significant input into this space and with development of new applications, the oriented films market in India continues to grow at a rapid pace, significantly higher than the global growth rate. In this backdrop, Indian BOPP industry continues to also grow encouraging sizable investment by existing players and new entrants. With fall in export markets, and creation of substantial capacity for packaging films, domestic markets for these are highly competitive. Volatility in input prices, anti-dumping duty and seasonal swings compound matters. Their focus however remains dedicated within their core strengths to special products and niche markets, largely thin films for specialized electrical applications, which together with consistent high quality and service standards enabled us to maintain near full capacity utilization with their products continuing to be well received at home and abroad. Their strategic intent for BOPP films remains directed towards thin and dielectric films and the Company has commenced work on capacity expansion. Their plants continued to operate profitably and total production during the year was 3,573 MT(not directly comparable with 3,889 MT last year due to production of thinner films).Steep increases in power tariff with retrospective effect in Bengal were a cause for concern.

 

Coex Division

 

Coex Division manufactures coextruded sheets, thermoformed refrigerator liners and coextruded cast films. Their products are usually custom-made to customer needs and based onvarious polymers including Polystyrene, PP and PE. Applications for their product range arewide, including sheets for refrigerator liners, disposable containers, automotive parts, etc. Cast films are high clarity films including stretch wrap and cling, specially formulated films for medical disposables, hygiene films, and others for packaging. The consumer durables segment experienced the worst year in recent times and the refrigerator sector, the division’s major market segment, was no exception. This set-back is seenas temporary and a return to normalcy is expected. They continue to be the leading supplier of sheets to the white goods industry through consistent focus on product quality, development and superior service, which have also been recognized by major customers. Inthe cast films segment, their focus has been on special films and continuous innovation. Reflecting market circumstances and their own standing, the total production of sheets, including as liners, (adjusted for inter-unit transfers) and cast films at this divisionat 16,880 MT during the year was marginally lower (~6%) than during the previous year (17,998 MT). In keeping with strategic direction to arrest the decline of viability at Faridabad, focus at this location was on production of only cast films pending other steps to evolve new solutions. During the year, the Company enhanced capacity at Ranjangaon through addition of a fully automated thermoforming line to meet specific additional requirements from its customers. Further addition to sheet extrusion capacity to keep pace with planned growth in refrigerator sector is on the anvil.

 

Thermosets Division

 

As stated in the Report for the previous year, the Company had examined, keeping in view all relevant factors, various options and based on careful consideration, it was considered in the best interests to exit the Thermo sets business completely at appropriate valuations and following discussions with more than one possible party, the Company had identified and negotiated the terms and conditions for transfer of the Division as a going concern. Following receipt of all necessary approvals the transfer against cash consideration was completed on August 18, 2011 and the business discontinued by the Company thereafter.
