PERFORMANCE

 

This year the Company set itself the target of ensuring that the costs are reduced considerably and the losses are reduced that the Company has achieved this and the loss at the EBIDTA LEVEL has reduced from Rs  997.400 Millions to Rs 21.000 Millions. Likewise, Loss after tax also has reduced from Rs  1013.500 Millions to Rs  142.000 Millions. While, there was an improvement in the efficiency, quality and check on costs, the sales continued to suffer due to lack of working funds. Hence, during the year under review your Company has achieved net sales of Rs 491.700 Millions (previous year Rs 577.900 Millions) and incurred net loss of Rs 142.000 Millions (previous year Rs  1013.500 Millions). The measures started in 2009 continued in right earnest and the Company’s performance in the current year is likely to improve. The total export during the year under review was Rs 140.400 Million.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The outlook for the industry despite the difficulties faced by the economy is good. The current slowdown in the economy is not expected to affect the industry. The rise in rural income and the significant reduction in the poverty line will give a boost to education. This will give a fillip to the writing instrument industry. The Company is now in a position to benefit from these developments.

 

FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING

 

The settlement negotiations with the lenders are in progress and we are hopeful of formalising the same during the course of this year. The process has taken much longer than anticipated. The Board expresses its gratitude to the Lenders for supporting the Company at this crucial juncture.

 

STATUS OF BIFR PROCEEDINGS

 

Pending settlement with the lenders, they have been raising objections at BIFR. In order to bring clarity on issues with reference to reasons for sickness the BIFR has ordered a Special Investigative Audit, which is underway. The Company is confident of cruising through the said audit without any problem. A scheme can be submitted once the settlementwith the lenders and other creditors are finalised.

 

STATUS REPORT ON THE SUBSIDIARIES

 

Today’s Stationery Mart Ltd

 

.There is hardly any activity in this Company and the chances of the Company reviving its operations in the near future is remote. However, the bank liability in respect of this Company has been settled by the Promoters of Todays Writing Instruments Ltd. by selling personal properties.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Indian Writing Instruments Industry is a very heterogeneous group of business usually associated with the Schools, Colleges and Office and plays a very crucial role in working of any organization across the globe. The year 2012-13 was again the year with set of challenges to sustain the growth rate due to the rising Inflation, fluctuations in Currency rates. The current account deficit, the consequent pressure on rupee and the slackening of growth has added a new dimension to the prospects in the domestic industry. With plastic pens in the classical inferior goods category, slowdown is not likely to affect the demand as the market is more or less indifferent to pricing except the rural market. Similar to the past few years, this year also plastic

Processing Industry faced the dilemma of fluctuations in polymer raw material prices with rising trends and consequently pressure on margins cut for the Industrial players. The FDI opportunities are being examined by players and with Linc deepening their relationship with Mitsubishimore international players are likely to established their presence in India.Writing instruments is now a medium scale industry is poised to move towards the large scale segment with international market being the focus of all the leading players. Overall the industry is vibrant and is in a robust growth phase.

 

EXPORT

Export opportunities are promising. The Export market is growing at a healthy pace. However, the Company has exported goods worth ` 1404.Lacs (previous year Rs  1403.83 lacs) of writing instruments and stationery. The disruption of peaceand political uncertainties in the Middle East has caused some setback for exports. Currently, the Company is exporting toover 15 countries across the globe. We have emerged as a leading player in many of the Middle East countries. We could have done better with additional working capital.
