INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

US investment bank Goldman Sachs has upgraded its outlook on Indian markets as it expects positive impact of the election cycle.

 

India’s economy may grow 4.7 % in the current financial year, lower than the official estimate of 4.9 %, Fitch Rating said. The global rating agency expects the economy to pick up in the next two financial years.

 

Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

 

There is a $29.34 bn outward foreign direct investment by domestic companies between April and January of 2013/14 which has seen some signs of recovery according to a Care Ratings report.

 

There are 264 number of new companies being set up every day on average during 2014. Most of them are registered in Mumbai. India had 1.38 million registered companies at the end of January, 2014.

 

Twitter like messaging service Weibo Corporation has filed to raise $ 500 million via a US initial public offering. Alibaba, which owns a stake in Weibo is expected to raise about $ 15 billion New York this year in the highest profile Internet IPO since Facebook’s in 2012.

 

Bharti Airtel has raised Rs.2,453.2 crore (350 million Swiss Francs) by selling six-year bonds at a coupon rate of three per cent and maturing in 2020. This is the largest ever bond offering by an Indian company in Swiss Francs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation raised 175 million Swiss Francs by selling five year bonds at 2.98 % coupon rate in February.

 

Indian Oil Corporation plans to invest Rs 7650 crore in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years. The company board is set to consider the setting up of a 700000 tonne per annum polypropylene plant at an estimated cost at Rs.3150 crore.

BACKGROUND

 

The Company was incorporated on 8 November 1995. The Company is a joint venture between Samsonite Mauritius Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Samsonite Corporation, USA, which holds 60% of the equity share capital and Tainwala group and its nominees, which hold 40% of the share capital.

 

The Company is engaged in manufacture, purchase, sale and distribution of travel goods such as suitcases, briefcases and accessories in the domestic and export market and also trading in footwear. The Company’s manufacturing facility is located at Nashik.

 

 

OPERATIONS

 

The year has been a moderate year for the Company due to depreciating INR and tough domestic economic conditions. However, the exports have grown by over 24 % as compared to the last year. Domestic sales too have registered a growth of 8% as compared to the previous year.

 

The gross sales for the year have increased to Rs. 6569.700 millions from Rs. 5937.400 millions last year thereby registering an increase of about 10.6 %. However, the profits after tax have shown a decrease of around 20 % from Rs. 313.700 millions last year to Rs. 251.200 millions for the year. This was mainly due to steep increase in costs due to depreciation of INR vs the USD.

 

 

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (AS ON 31.12.2012):

 

Bank guarantees outstanding at 31 December 2012 are Rs 12.975 Millions (31 December 2011: Rs 16.460 Millions).

 

At the year-end excise demand under appeal aggregates to Rs. 4.918 Millions. The demand is against the order of Commissioner of Central Excise & Customs, Aurangabad levying Excise Duty on various items in the previous years.

 

The Company received an order from the Commissioner, who confirmed the demand for Rs. 2.810 Millions and a penalty of Rs.2.108 Millions. The Company has preferred an appeal to the CESTAT against the order of the Commissioner.

 

Management has obtained a legal opinion, which states that the Company has a fair chance of the case being decided in its favour and accordingly believes that no provision is required to be made against the said demand.

 

The Excise department issued Show Cause Notice for input Service Tax Credit taken by company on various services during April 2006 to November 2012. Amount disallowed by excise department is Rs 20.508 Millions.

 

Income Tax demands Rs. 167.636 Millions (31 December 2011: Rs. 6.489 Millions)

 

The Company has received a demand on credit utilised on VAT input paid on purchases from M/s Duratech in the period 2007-08 of Rs. 4.968 Millions. As per the demand the vendor has not deposited the VAT amount paid by the Company to the authorities. Based on a certificate received from the vendor, the Management believes that the Company has a strong chance in the appeal made to the Deputy Commissioner of Sales Tax, Nashik.
