As the company had to increase its Minimum Public Shareholding (MPS) to 25% as required under the Securities Contracts Regulations (Rules) 1957, the Board including nominees of both the promoters, unanimously recommended allotment of 100,000 equity shares of the company to employees under an Employee Stock Purchase Scheme (ESPS) at Rs 50/- per equity share of face value of Rs 10/ each, and also issue of Bonus shares, in the ratio 1:3 shares (579,160 Equity shares) only to the public shareholders, excluding the promoters. The said recommendation was considered and approved by shareholders at the Extra Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) (attended by the nominees of the promoter shareholders) held on 29th May 2013. The record date for bonus issue fixed as 20th June 2013, was communicated to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the equity shares started trading “ex –bonus” with effect from the said date. In line with the resolution of EGM, as above, the company allotted 579,160 Bonus shares to public shareholders only by capitalisation of general reserves and 100,000 shares under the ESPS. The excess of market price of the share , over the price at which they are issued under the ESPS amounting to Rs 12,5 90,000 (Nil) has been treated as employee benefit expense with corresponding credit to the securities premium reserve in accordance with the applicable SEBI guidelines. On 17th June 2013, one of the promoter shareholders M/s Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) informed the company their inability to forego its right to bonus shares and consequently the other promoter shareholder Nitta Gelatin Inc, Japan also declined to forgo their right to the bonus shares. In view of the said request the company informed BSE of its intention to partially modify the earlier EGM resolution dated 29th May, 2013, to allot bonus shares to the two Promoters as above also, subject to applicable approvals. Subsequently, the Board in their meeting dated 5th July 2013 recommended to the shareholders to issue bonus shares in the ratio of 1:3 to both the Promoter shareholders, in partial modification of EGM resolution dated 29th May 2013 and subject to necessary approvals, and also to allot further shares under the ESPS Scheme to its employees to ensure compliance of MPS even after the issue of bonus shares as above. This recommendation of the Board was approved in the adjourned EGM held on 24th August 2013 adopting a special resolution in partial modification of the resolution in EGM dated 29th May 2013, to allot 2,254,173 Bonus shares to Promoter shareholders and 696,667 shares to employees under ESPS scheme at Rs. 25/- per equity share of face value of Rs.10/- each, subject to the approval of SEBI and other applicable authorities.

 

On 19th August 2013 the company sought an in-principle approval for listing equity shares to be issued to the promoter shareholders and to employees under ESPS as per resolution proposed at the EGM on 24-08-13 .The BSE advised the company by email dated 27th August 2013 to seek condonation of delay from SEBI under Regulation 95(2) regarding Bonus issue, under SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2009 and this application was made to SEBI on 31st August 2013 seeking condonation of the delay in allotment of Bonus shares to the promoters and for retaining 20th June 2013 as the record date for the Bonus issue . SEBI in their letter dated 14th February 2014 declined to accede to the request of the company to allot Bonus shares to the promoter shareholders also on the ground that the interest of investors including those who traded in shares of the company based on the resolution passed at the EGM held on 29-05-2013, would be adversely affected.

 

Under the circumstances the company is unable to act on the resolution passed at the EGM held on 24-08-2013 and to allot 2,254,173 Bonus shares to Promoter shareholders (in the ratio 1:3) and 696,667 shares to employees under ESPS scheme as per resolutions adopted therein and hence no adjustment in this regard is made in the accounts for the year ending 31.03.2014. The company was legally advised that none of the preconditions of the Companies Act or the relevant provisions regarding Bonus issue under Chapter IX (Regulation 92 to 95 of the SEBI (ICDR) Regulation 2009), have been breached in the present case and even the decision to issue Bonus shares to the promoter shareholders was unanimously approved by public shareholders present in the EGM held on 24th August 2013, and the Promoter shareholders present in the meeting had abstained from voting on the resolution and SEBI is empowered to condone the delay, under Regulation 95(2) of 2009 and no provisions of the Companies act , 1956 would stand violated if partial modification as sought by the company as above was allowed and condonation as sought was granted by SEBI. The company has fi led an appeal against the order of SEBI as above before Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) and is hopeful that the matter will be resolved to the best interest of all at the earliest.

NOTE: Registered office of the company has been shifted from 50/1002, Panampilly Nagar, Ernakulam – 682036, Kerala, India to the present address.

 

PERFORMANCE

 

The Company is operating an Ossein plant at Koratty, Trichur District, Kerala for the past thirty fi ve years. This plant manufactures Ossein for export as well as for captive consumption in their Gelatin plant at Ernakulam District, Kerala. The Ossein and Gelatin plants of the company are being operated strictly in compliance with all the standards / directives prescribed by the statutory authorities including the State Pollution Control Board. The Kadukutty Panchayat in Trichur District, where the Ossein plant is situated, has not renewed their factory licence for the year commencing from 01.04.2011 onwards without any valid reason. Therefore the Company moved the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala seeking renewal of factory licence. The matter is currently pending before the said court and the unit is in operation.

 

There was an incidence of a few dead fish being found in Chalakkudy river in the vicinity of their Ossein plant during end May, 2013. A group of activists have alleged that the said fish death is on account of the pollution caused due to the discharge of poisonous effluents by their Ossein plant into the river. As a fall-out of this false propaganda, a series of demonstrations, hartal, etc. were staged against the Ossein plant. The agitating group also blocked both the in-bound and out-bound pipelines thereby restricting the flow of inlet water and treated effluent from the plant. Moreover, they often blocked the free movement of men and materials as well. Throughout this period, the Company has moved all the concerned authorities to reach an amicable solution for this totally baseless agitation. In the writ petition filed by the Company in this regard, the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala vide their order dated 03.12.2013 decreed the smooth functioning of the Ossein plant, effective police protection and directions to the agitators against causing obstructions for the smooth functioning of the Company / damage to its installations, pipes and other properties. The Hon’ble Court has also directed the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Govt. of India to conduct a detailed study into the pollution status with respect to the Air, Water and Solid waste generated from the Ossein plant and the adequacy and efficacy of the pollution control measures installed by the Company. The Company is also under directions to implement the recommendations made by NEERI, within the time limit to be specified in this regard. The said study by NEERI is currently going on and the report of their study is awaited. Based on the directives of the Hon’ble Court, the Ossein plant has resumed normal operations from end Dec’ 2013 onwards. The aforesaid interruptions at Ossein Division has reasoned about 30% reduction in production of both Ossein and Dicalcium Phosphate. On account of the shortage of production of Limed Ossein at Ossein Plant, the raw material for Gelatin, there was a decline in production at Gelatin Division also.

 

As a fall-out of the above, the gross revenue from operations has declined by 5.53% from Rs. 3146.100 Millions in 2012-13 to Rs. 2972.300 Millions in 2013-14. In USD terms, the price realization for normal Ossein during 2013-14 was lower by 4% from the previous year. In respect of Gelatin, the average export price during the year has gone up by 6% in USD terms compared to previous year. USD/ INR Exchange rate movement for the year was favourable for the Company. Gelatin domestic sales realization has also witnessed an increase of 14% over the previous fiscal. For Collagen Peptide, there has been an increase of 9% in sales realization. DCP prices witnessed a decline of 1% during the year from the previous financial year.

 

Almost all the major Gelatin manufacturers in the country were operating to their full capacities during 2013-14 resulting in high demand for crushed bone. Besides, Meat-cum-Bonemeal, a product out of cattle bone, used as a poultry feed ingredient, was also in good demand during the period. This in turn has resulted in considerable quantity of crushed bone being diverted for the production of Meat-cum-Bonemeal further increasing the demand for crushed bone. These factors have resulted in the market price for crushed bone moving up by almost 23% during 2013-14. Apart from the poor economies of operating the Ossein plant at below-normal capacities and the incremental costs associated with crushed bone price escalation, the company had to incur additional expenditure on repairs and maintenance to comply with the various customer audit requirements, strengthening security in the

wake of agitations against Ossein Division, loss on account of forward exchange contracts, etc. which together caused the Company to post a pre-tax net loss of Rs. 7310.500 Millions during 2013-14 as against a pre-tax net profit of Rs. 26130.100 Millions during 2012-13.

 

There is appreciable demand for all the products of the company both in the export and domestic markets. The entire sale of Ossein was for exports and in the case of Gelatin, 54% of the total sales were for export to around 30 countries. The regular demand for the products give credence to the company’s ability to keep growing in the

competitive Gelatin / Collagen Peptide market as they continuously respond to the changes in customer preferences.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Economic development and population growth in emerging economies, more particularly in the Asian region, are expected to give further boost to the Gelatin and Collagen Peptide market. This apart, the growing use of Gelatin in applications such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals also contributes to the growth of Gelatin and its derivatives. As a combined effect of all these, global Gelatin consumption is forecast to reach 3.96 lakh MT by the year 2017 from 3.71 MT in 2012. The company with pioneering expertise in Gelatin manufacture under technical collaboration with M/s. Nitta Gelatin Inc., Japan holds a pivotal position in the global Gelatin industry scenario.

On the export front, Indian pharma exports stood at USD 14.70 billion in 2012-13, registering a growth rate of 11%. India plans to increase its total exports to USD 25 billion by 2016. In regard to the domestic demand for Gelatin, the Government of India has announced a list of measures, including the proposed enhancement of public expenditure on healthcare to 2 to 3% of GDP, up from the current level of 1%. In the backdrop of the above, the outlook for Gelatin market is expected to be attractive in the current year.

 

In the peptide business, they have increased their production capacity in tandem with the global demand pattern.

Asia continues to be the mainstream market for Collagen Peptide followed by North America, where there is a strong sentiment about the beauty benefits of Collagen Peptide. Emerging markets such as Latin America, India, China and the Middle East show potential for further penetration. With a steady demand for all poultry products, the demand for DiCalcium Phosphate, the by-product, is also expected to be steady. Sale of agri-products, Nutrigold and Secondary proteins has witnessed a healthy growth in the last fiscal which is expected to continue.
