II. RISK FACTORS ENVISAGED BY MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT’S PROPOSAL TO ADDRESS THE RISKS: A. SPECIFIC TO THE PROJECT AND INTERNAL TO THE COMPANY

1. Our Company, promoter(s) and one group company are involved in certain

litigations, a summary of which is given hereunder; Sr. No. Particulars of litigations No. of

Cases Amount

(Rs. in Lakhs)A. Company 1 Litigations filed against Our Company 11 117.892 Litigations filed by Our Company 2 0.75 B. Group Company KSM Exports Ltd. (i) Litigation filed against KSM Exports Ltd. 1 1.00 (ii) Litigations filed by KSM Exports Ltd. 1 1.00 C. Promoter(s) Mr. M. S. Agarwal (i) Litigation filed against Mr. M S Agarwal 1 Nil (ii) Litigation by Mr. M S Agarwal 2 NilFor details on litigations, kindly refer to the Section “Outstanding Litigations” on page [*] of this Draft Letter of Offer. 2. Our Company has been referred to BIFR in the year 1990 on account of erosion of

net worth.

Our Company incurred loss Rs. 172.45 lakhs for the financial year ended 1989-90 and the entire net worth of the Company was eroded on account of drastic reduction of company’s products followed by promulgation of statute for mandatory use of jute packaging material and increase in excise duty structure and higher state sales tax along with frequent power shortages. The Company was declared a sick unit by BIFR vide its order dated 11th March 1991 under section 15(1) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985. BIFR had sanctioned rehabilitation package in the year 1992 and subsequently approved the one time settlement of dues to the financial institutions in the year 1997. The said packages had stipulated to bring additional funds by way of equity by the promoters. With the company’s thrust on the exports of its products, the financial performance of the Company improved and with the result the company came out of the purview of Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 vide its order dated 17th August 2000.

3. Our intended use of proceeds from the Issue has not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. Our Company has proposed to implement modernisation and expansion plan aggregating to Rs. 2150 lakhs. Our modernisation and expansion project is not appraised by any Bank or Financial Institution. The issue proceeds will be deployed to meet the objects of the Issue as decided by the Board of Directors of our Company.

Our Company is planning to increase our existing fabric production facilities to 10,000 MTPA from 6,000 MTPA so as to meet the increasing demand of our products. At present our Company is utilising approximately 97% of the installed capacity. State Bank of India, Mid Corporate Group, Kanpur has appraised the modernization and expansion project for sanctioning the Foreign Currency Term Loan of Rs. 1250 lakhs and other working capital limits. However, no separate appraisal has been done for the purpose of this rights issue. The cost of the project of Rs. 2150 lakhs has been arrived at by management estimates based on the quotations collected from reputed suppliers of plant & machineries and other fixed assets. Moreover, the Promoter Directors of our Company are well-experienced technocrats who will be closely monitoring the utilisation and end uses of the funds.

4. Delay in Project Implementation may lead to time and cost overrun.

Our Company has started civil construction work for the new factory shed for the expansion project after the acquisition of land. We are yet to place the orders for some of plant & machinery and other fixed assets. Our Company proposes to complete modernization and expansion project by the end of March 2008. If there is delay in the implementation of the proposed project, it may lead to time and cost overrun and may affect the profitability of our Company. Our Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 5th January 2007 and additional MOU on 22nd February 2007 with M/s International Electron Devices Ltd. (IEDL) as an agreement to transfer the lease of Plot No. A-1 & A-2, Panki Industrial Area, Udyogkunj, Kanpur from IEDL to our Company from UPSIDC admeasuring about 16357 square meters for a total consideration of Rs. 475 Lakhs which also include a built up factory shed of 20,000 square feet. Under the terms of MOU, Our Company has paid a total consideration of Rs. 475 Lakhs to IEDL on 3rd January 2007 and 22nd February 2007 constituting payment of Rs. 400 lakhs for factory land and Rs. 75 lakhs for cost of factory shed. In addition to existing factory shed, we plan to construct approximately 92500 sq. feet in the form of new factory shed and first floor also to be constructed thereon.

The civil construction envisaged in the project is to take care of installation of new plant & machineries for cutting and stitching purpose and increased storage requirement of despatch of finished goods. As far as expansion and modernization of capacity is concerned, the new machineries for extrusions and circular looms will be installed at existing unit whereas the new machineries for cutting & stitching will be installed at new unit. Further, delivery of the machinery would take place immediately on payment, as the machinery is easily available. Therefore, there would not be any production loss to our Company on account of delay in the placement of orders. In case of delay in completion of construction work, our Company would make use of existing factory shed on temporary basis to overcome any storage problems. Therefore, the Company is

9

confident of avoiding any delay in the implementation of the proposed project as well as time and cost overrun in the project.

5. We have contingent liabilities not provided for outstanding as on December 31,

2006. The contingent liabilities not provided for by us as on December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2006 are as given hereunder: (Rs. In Lakhs)

The contingent liabilities are in the normal course of business and the management does not foresee any material adverse impact on the working results of the Company on account of the above. In case contingent liabilities materializes, the financial position of the Company is strong enough to absorb such liabilities.

6. Failure to comply with export obligation may expose us to significant import duties and other penalties. Our company has been allowed to import raw material viz. HDPE/PP granules Duty free under the Advance Licensing scheme of Government of India. The same raw material is used for manufacturing the finished goods, which are exported to different overseas customers. Under the customs law, we are obliged to make the exports within a period of 24 months from the date of import of raw materials. If we fail to meet our exports obligations within the aforesaid period then we may be required to pay import duty along with interest for the delayed period. Further, we may also be subject to the penal provisions of Customs Act, 1962. As on 31st December 2006, our Company has fulfilled all the export obligations. As on 31st December 2006 Legal undertakings that are due for redemption amount to Rs. 1298.56 lakhs. With regular and sufficient export orders in hand the company does not envisage any risk on this account since fulfillment of export obligation is a continuous process.

7. There is a possibility of conflict of interest with one of the group companies, KSM

Exports Ltd. in respect of jobwork contract. Our line of business involves manufacturing of HDPE/PP woven fabrics and sacks. We have a significant number of jobwork transactions with our group company KSM Exports Ltd. We give jobwork of stitching work of woven sack bags to KSM Exports Ltd. However, all these transactions are generally entered at arms length price.

8. Additional subscription in the Rights Issue by the promoters of our Company may substantially increase their shareholdings in the Company. In view of the intention of promoters to apply for additional shares in order to ensure minimum 90% subscription, if the issue is under-subscribed, then there is a potential scope for increase in promoters’ contribution and consequently promoters’ shareholding may increase substantially in the company.

9. Substantial portion of our revenues come from limited number of customers.

Substantial portion of our revenues is derived from small number of customers. Our top ten customers contributed 62.90% of our sales for financial year 2005-06. Similarly, for financial years 2004-05 and 2003-04, the sales to the top ten customers were 62.86% and 70.30% respectively. We believe that we are dependent on a few customers for substantial part of our sales. In the event, any of these top ten customers decide to procure their packing material requirements from other suppliers, our revenues and profitability may get adversely affected. Our management keeps on developing new clients for increasing our sales as well to reduce the dependence on few customers.

10. We are pre-dominantly dependent on export sales.

Our Company exports approximately 67% of its total production to U.K, Germany, Spain, USA, Netherlands, France, Italy, etc. As we are well placed in the International market with established dealers in terms of quality and cost all over the globe, our Company does not foresee any difficulty in maintaining our export sales at these levels, however, at the same time, we are also developing FIBC in domestic market in addition to our other products to increase our exposure to Indian market as well.

11. We are subject to risks arising from exchange rate fluctuations.

Uncertainties in the global financial markets may have an adverse impact on the exchange rate between Rupee vis-à-vis other currencies. The exchange rate between Rupee and other currencies is variable and may continue to remain volatile in future depending upon the foreign exchange reserve position of India. Fluctuations in the exchange rates may have a serious impact on the revenues from our export business as significant portion of our revenue come from Export Business. Any appreciation of Rupee against other currencies may have an adverse impact on our business revenues. Accordingly, any adverse fluctuation in the exchange rate between Rupee and other currencies may adversely affect our financial position and results of operation. Our company has an established forex policy in place and actively hedges its forex exposure to offset this risk.

12. The Logo of our Company has not been registered with the Trademark Registrar.

The company has not registered its logo and it does not have registered trademark, nor has any application been made to Trademark Registry. Company operates in a competitive environment, where generating brand recognition will be a significant element of the business strategy of the company.

13. We depend on Key Managerial Personnel for smooth running of our business.

We depend upon the continued employment and performance of key employees of our Company. If any of these resign, or becomes unable to perform in his or her role and if they are not adequately replaced, our business operations and our ability to implement successfully our project and business plans could be substantially affected. Our

11

performance is also dependent on our ability to identify, hire and retain key personnel and if we are unable to do so, the results of operations and financial conditions could be materially and adversely affected. Our Company has a comprehensive Human Resources Policy and has been able to retain its key management team in the past. The management ensures that key personnel of the company remain intact with the company so that it does not affect the operations of the Company.

14. We are subject to restrictive covenants of Loan agreement entered into with State

Bank of India. We have agreed to preliminary terms and conditions of State Bank of India, our Banker, which will provide for long term and short term borrowings (subject to certain conditions) to fund a portion of total project cost under proposed modernization and expansion plan and we expect to agree to terms and conditions for the remainder of our proposed borrowings and may enter into definitive agreements for our proposed project in future. We may also enter into other agreements to provide for other borrowings in the future with our existing banker or any other bank or financial institutions in future. Some of their agreements may contain restrictive covenants that may require us in many circumstances to obtain the prior consent of our lenders to take certain actions including creation of liens, consolidation or sale of assets, declaration of dividends, making investments, alterations of our capital structure and capital expenditure, raising additional debts, making key alterations in the project and constitutional documents. Moreover, we may also require maintaining various financial ratios, appointment of nominee director by our lenders on our board of directors etc. Such covenants may put restrictions on us, which may: a. adversely affect our ability to pay dividend, b. limit our ability to accomplish our future plans and projections c. increase our vulnerability to general adverse industry & economic conditions In case we fail to complete the implementation of project in time and to satisfy the covenants set forth in our loan agreement or any default occurs under these agreements, the maturity of debts may be accelerated and our financial burden may increase further.

15. Our insurance cover may not be adequate to protect us against all potential losses

to which we may be subject. We have taken adequate insurance cover against damages that may be caused by floods, fires and earthquakes etc. on our assets as well as third party liability insurance, which we believe is in accordance with the relevant regulations and customary industry practices in India. However, the amount of our insurance coverage may be less than the replacement cost of all the covered properties and may not be sufficient to cover all financial losses that we may suffer, should a risk materialise. Further, there are many events that may expose us to losses or third party liabilities, including war or natural calamities that could cause significant damages to our operations for which we are not insured or fully insured. If significant liability arises for which we are not insured or not adequately insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.


12

16. Conditions of Indian Security Market may affect the price or liquidity of the equity shares. As compared to security markets in more developed economies, the Indian security market is small. In the past, Indian Stock Exchanges have experienced fluctuations in the prices and liquidity of listed securities. The reasons for such fluctuations include brokers’ default, temporary stock exchange closures, settlement delays, government policies, inflations, natural calamities etc., which have a negative effect on market sentiments. This type of events may occur in future also and if they do, they could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of the company’s equity shares.

17. We outsource some of our manufacturing activities.

We outsource part of the stitching work to manufacture woven bags to KSM Exports Ltd., which is our group company. To the extent, the work is outsourced, we are dependent on them and any delay in delivery in time or failure to maintain quality standards on their part may adversely affect our turnover, time schedule and our business reputation.

18. We have not entered into any long-term supply contracts for raw materials.

Non-availability of required raw materials in desired quantity and quality at the required time may adversely affect our production process, ability to deliver orders in time and our business performance.

19. We are exposed to volatility in raw material prices.

A few raw materials such as HDPE/PP/LDPE granules constitute over 95% of the total raw material requirement. As the raw material prices are affected by the availability of crude oil and its global demand, it exposes us to price fluctuations resulting from shifts in supply and demand and other factors beyond our control.

20. All our current manufacturing facilities are geographically located at one place at Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh and the loss or shutdown of operations at the facility would have a material adverse effect on us. All our existing manufacturing facilities are based in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. As a result, any local social unrest, natural disaster or break down of services and utilities in that area could have material adverse effect on the business, financial position and results of operation of our Company.

21. The unsecured loans taken by our Company can be recalled at any time.

Our Company has taken unsecured loans from the promoters of the Company to satisfy the covenants of State Bank of India. These unsecured loans are repayable on demand and if recalled by the promoters at any time and in the event, may affect the financial operations of our company to that extent.

22. Our expansion and modernization project is subject to generate enough cash

accruals in the year 2007-08. Our proposed means of finance include internal accruals of Rs. 393.25 lakhs being 18.29% of the cost of the project. In case, our company is not able to generate enough cash accruals in the year 2006-07 and 2007-08, it may adversely affect the viability of the expansion and modernization project.

13

23. Our Company has a geographical disadvantage due to its non-proximity to ports and thereby reduces our cost competitiveness. We are operating our manufacturing operations from manufacturing facilities located at Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. As Kanpur is located in the northern region of India, it does not have any proximity to ports. Therefore, our Company has to rely on Bombay Ports for export and imports of its finished goods and raw materials. Due to this, our Company has higher lead-time of 8-10 weeks from India to Europe/USA, which makes our Company less competitive as compared to other competitors who are geographically well placed.

B. EXTERNAL AND BEYOND CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

1) Price volatility in Crude based raw materials The main raw materials for the Company are HDPE/PP granules, which are crude based products and hence there is high volatility in price.

2) Political, economic and social developments in India and acts of violence or war

Any change in the economic policies and laws affecting companies in the plastic processing business, pace of deregulation, foreign investment, currency exchange rates and other matters could adversely affect the business, financial position and the operations of the Company. Any acts of violence, terrorist activity or war could affect the industrial and commercial operations in the country, which could have an adverse effect on the demand and supply of plastic pipes & fittings.

C. I N T R O D U C T I O N I. SUMMARY

Industry A Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC) is defined as an intermediate bulk container, having a body made of flexible fabric, which

Cannot be handled manually when filled Is intended for shipment of solid material in powder, flake, or granular form. Does not require further packaging Is designed to be lifted from the top by means of integral, permanently attached

devices (lift loops or straps) Flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs), also known as "big bags," "bulk bags," and "bulk sacks," were first manufactured in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The first FIBCs were constructed with heavy-duty PVC-coated nylon or polyester where the cut sheets are welded together to form the FIBC. These FIBCs were made with integrated lift slings around the container, or attached to a specially made pallet, or a metal lifting device that the container sat on. The handling devices allowed the container to be filled from the top and discharged from the bottom. Flexible intermediate bulk containers manufactured with polyolefin fabrics were experimented with in England, Japan, Canada, and the United States all at about the same time in the late 1960s to the early 1970s. It was the development of these high-strength lightweight fabrics (i.e., polypropylene) that spurred the growth of the flexible intermediate bulk bags that are universally used today. The rapid growth in Europe in the manufacturing of FIBCs occurred in the mid 1970s during the oil crisis. The oil-producing countries building program required large quantities of cement. The demand for cement was shipped in FIBCs at the rate of 30,000-50,000 metric tons per week from Northern Europe, Spain and Italy to the Middle East. The demand for bulk bags in the United States grew slower than in Europe until 1984, when the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) agreed to grant exemptions for the shipment of hazardous products in FIBCs. Performance standards for FIBCs were established and issued by the Chemical Packaging Committee of the Packaging Institute, USA under T-4102-85. These standards were used to obtain exemptions until DOT included flexible containers with the other types of FIBCs in the Title 49 CFR for hazardous products. The flexible bulk container offers features that are unique to this package. It can be folded flat and bailed for shipment to the user. The weight of a bulk bag used to ship one metric ton of product weighs 8-10 lb, offering a low package: product weight ratio. The cost of FIBCs is competitive with other forms of packaging as it is usually utilized without pallets. They are easy to store and handle in warehouses with standard equipment. When shipping by boat the FIBCs are gang-loaded with up to 14 bulk bags on a spreader bar, and are shipped as break bulk.

Business

Our Company was incorporated on 26th July 1971 as a private limited company with an object to manufacture HDPE Woven Fabric and Sacks of various sizes and other plastic packaging materials. The founder promoters of our Company are Mr. Mahesh Swarup Agarwal and Mrs. Santosh Agarwal. The Company was converted into a Public Limited Company w.e.f. 9th December 1985.

Our Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing of HDPE/PP woven fabric and bags and Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers of varied sizes used in various industries for transportation of Cement, Chemicals, Fertilisers, foodgrains, Sugar, Building materials, etc. These flexible and lesser weight plastic based packaging materials provide a cost-effective and a convenient tool for the packaging and transportation of bulky material across the sectors. In view of its flexibility and cheaper cost, it has been globally accepted as a convenient means of transportation for various bulky materials as well as transportation of small weight materials in bulk.

In the year 1972-73, our Company started its production with an installed capacity of 130 MTPA of unlaminated fabrics at D-19, Panki Industrial Area, Kanpur. Due to rapid expansion in the business of the Company, modernization of plant and machineries and upgradation of production technology, our company achieved production of about 1890 MTPA of unlaminated fabrics by the year 1985-86.

Our Company was the first unit to start manufacturing various kinds of unlaminated fabric products like HDPE bags and PP woven bags, etc. in the entire North India and was first to introduce Circular Weaving Machinery in the country to upgrade its technology in the year 1983-84. Due to encouraging response from the customers and looking to the vast potential of its products, our Company embarked upon an expansion programme to raise installed capacity to 3756 MTPA of unlaminated fabrics. Our Company purchased the adjoining plot at D-20 from UPSIDC in the year 1986 to achieve increased production to cope up with the market demand. Our company in its continuous upgradation of Technology and the resultant addition of machines and balancing equipment has led to a current manufacturing capacity of 6000 MTPA, which was largely funded from Internal accruals.

Our Company is having major presence in the Industrial Packaging market in the country having excellent rapport with our customers in fertilizers, cement, sugar and sugar end users in India and all major Distributors in this sector in Europe and USA.

FIBC was added to our product range in the year 2000 and since then this segment of our activity has grown at a rapid pace. Exports took a quantum jump in 2004-05 when a 100% increase in Export turnover was recorded. Today FIBC’s constitute nearly 65% of our total production. FIBC’s are not only value added items but also represent one of the fastest growing segments globally in the industrial packaging sector. Recognizing the efforts made by our Company, ‘NIRYAT SHREE’ Award was awarded by Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO) for financial year 2004-05, presented by Shri Kamal Nath, Hon’ble Minister of Commerce, Government of India on 26th December 2006. Company has been awarded the “Amity Export Excellence award” at the 9th International business horizon INBUSH 2007, 23rd February 2007. Company has also been awarded the “highest rating” in India’s Top 500 manufacturing SME companies at the 1st SMB TOP 500 Awards.

VI. OBJECTS OF THE ISSUE

The objects of this Rights Issue are: 1. To part finance a) Acquisition of additional Factory Land and Built up Shed at Plot No. A-1 & A-2,

Panki Industrial Area, Udyogkunj, Kanpur b) Construction of new factory Building c) Expansion and Modernization of fabric manufacturing facilities to increase to

10,000 MTPA from 6000 MTPA at existing and new premises d) Margin for additional working capital 2. To meet the Rights Issue expenses. The main objects clause and objects incidental or ancillary to the main objects clause of the Memorandum of Association of the Company enable the Company to undertake its existing activities and the activities for which the funds are being raised through this Issue. COST OF THE PROJECT

Since its inception in 1971 our Company has been engaged in the manufacture of HDPE woven sacks and fabrics with an initial installed capacity of about 130 MTPA. Subsequently it also started manufacturing PP woven sacks and FIBCs. The installed capacity has been progressively increased from 130 MTPA to 1890 MTPA, 3756 MTPA, 4900 MTPA from time to time and finally to a present installed capacity of 6000 MTPA. The present production capacity is almost fully utilized and in order to meet the growing demand in the export and domestic market, our Company has set upon a modernization and expansion plan to eventually increase the installed capacity from the present 6,000 MTPA to 10,000 MTPA.

Although the Company is performing well in terms of its production, it is facing bottlenecks in respect of certain plant & machineries, which have become very old and are of outdated technology ultimately resulting in lower output. Thus our Company is unable to optimize its production capacity and meet the rapidly growing demands from the customers. Our Company has now planned to increase the installed capacity by purchasing the latest plant & machineries with modern technology so as to increase the productivity of company, reduce the cost of production and increasing the production capacity of its plant. Our Company has also planned to modernize some of its existing machineries by way of replacing with new machineries, so as to increase the productivity, reduce the wastes and reduce the production costs resulting in improvement in overall profitability.

D. ABOUT THE ISSUER COMPANY The information presented in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents, which have not been prepared or independently verified by the Company, the Lead Manager or any of their respective affiliates or advisors or the sources referred to herein. In this Section, we have relied on and referred to information regarding the industry and competitors from market research reports, other publicly available sources and information provided by the Company. Although we believe that this information is reliable, we have not independently verified the accuracy and completeness of the information. I. OVERVIEW OF PACKAGING INDUSTRY Introduction: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a polyethylene thermoplastic made from petroleum. It takes 1.75 kilograms of petroleum (in terms of energy and raw materials) to make one kilogram of HDPE. HDPE is resistant to many different solvents and has a wide variety of applications, including:

o Containers o Tupperware o Laundry detergent bottles o Milk cartons o Fuel tanks for vehicles

o Plastic bags o Containment of certain chemicals o Chemical-resistant piping systems o Geothermal heat transfer piping systems o Natural gas distribution pipe systems o Water pipes, for domestic water supply. o Coax cable inner insulators (dielectric insulating spacer) o Root Barrier o Corrosion Protection for Steel Pipelines.

(Source: www.wikipedia.org) Plastic is the most important material in the U.S. Packaging industry, accounting for roughly 50 percent of the industry's revenues. The total US packaging market is approximately $80 billion.

The plastic packaging industry consists of rigid and flexible plastics. Flexible packaging consists of bags, bubble wraps, tubes, stand-up pouches etc. Rigid plastic packaging comprises of blisters, bottles, cartridges, pallets, trays etc. Plastics have increasingly replaced traditional materials in this sector due to their lightweight and superior functionality. The five major polymers used in packaging are polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Thermoplastics are the primary form of plastic used in packaging; the only thermoset resin in wide use for packaging is epoxy for adhesives. Typical packaging applications for LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene) include bag rollstock, container lids, food bags, pallet wrap and produce bags. Applications for PP (polypropylene) are caps and closures, bottles, dairy containers, microwavable containers, syringes and snack food packaging. HDPE (high density polyethylene) is typically used for detergent and personal care product bottles, gallon milk and

http://www.wikipedia.org/�

55

water bottles. The use of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resins for bottles and jars is growing at an accelerating pace.

The trend in the packaging industry is to shift from rigid packaging to flexible packaging. There is also a trend of using of stand-up pouches in place of bottles for packaging coffee beans. Cereals usually packaged in "bag in box" are now being packaged in stand-up pouches.

The growth in the flexible packaging market can be attributable to technological improvements like multi web films, and bags coupled with enhanced oxygen barriers, faster filling speeds and high resolution graphics. Multicolor, photo-quality graphics, custom shapes and improved shelf life are features of flexible packaging that product marketers use to increase the perceived quality of their products.

HDPE continues to be the most common container for fluid milk, particularly with larger volume packages such as gallons and half-gallons.

Plastics can now also be used to play an active role in maintaining or even enhancing the quality of packaged foods. Antioxidant additives can be dispersed within a plastic packaging material or the plastic can be made inherently oxygen absorbing by incorporating oxygen absorbing monomers into the polymer structure during polymerization. Other types of smart plastics can keep fruits, flowers and vegetables fresh by absorbing compounds such as ammonia, ethylene and hydrogen sulphide that form inside the package.

A flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) is defined as an intermediate bulk container, having a body made of flexible fabric, which

Cannot be handled manually when filled Is intended for shipment of solid material in powder, flake, or granular form. Does not require further packaging Is designed to be lifted from the top by means of integral, permanently attached devices

(lift loops or straps) Flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs), also known as "big bags," "bulk bags," and "bulk sacks," were first manufactured in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The first FIBCs were constructed with heavy-duty PVC-coated nylon or polyester where the cut sheets are welded together to form the FIBC. These FIBCs were made with integrated lift slings around the container, or attached to a specially made pallet, or a metal lifting device that the container sat on. The handling devices allowed the container to be filled from the top and discharged from the bottom. Flexible intermediate bulk containers manufactured with polyolefin fabrics were experimented with in England, Japan, Canada, and the United States all at about the same time in the late 1960s to the early 1970s. It was the development of these high-strength light-weight fabrics (i.e., polypropylene) that spurred the growth of the flexible intermediate bulk bags that are universally used today. The rapid growth in Europe in the manufacturing of FIBCs occurred in the mid 1970s during the oil crisis. The oil-producing countries building program required large quantities of


56

cement. The demand for cement was shipped in FIBCs at the rate of 30,000-50,000 metric tons per week from Northern Europe, Spain and Italy to the Middle East. The demand for bulk bags in the United States grew slower than in Europe until 1984, when the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) agreed to grant exemptions for the shipment of hazardous products in FIBCs. Performance standards for FIBCs were established and issued by the Chemical Packaging Committee of the Packaging Institute, USA under T-4102-85. These standards were used to obtain exemptions until DOT included flexible containers with the other types of IBCs in the Title 49 CFR for hazardous products. The flexible bulk container offers features that are unique to this package. It can be folded flat and bailed for shipment to the user. The weight of a bulk bag used to ship one metric ton of product weighs 8-10 lb, offering a low package: product weight ratio. The cost of FIBCs is competitive with other forms of packaging as it is usually utilized without pallets. They are easy to store and handle in warehouses with standard equipment. When shipping by boat the FIBCs are gang-loaded with up to 14 bulk bags on a spreader bar, and are shipped as break bulk. (Source: Official Website of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container Association i.e. www.fibca.com) Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC’s) started gaining acceptance in mid 1970s. FIBCs have played a major role in transporting bulk materials safely in unit loads, ranging from comparatively low-value products such as Fertilizers, Cement and other building materials to high-grade chemicals and food products. FIBCs showed significant cost savings as well as logistical advantages over traditional methods as they offer a cost effective way for packaging, storing and handling a product. The Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container Industry has seen tremendous growth in the last 10 years. In 1995 around 148 million FIBCs were produced. By end of 2006, the annual production is approaching 320 million pieces at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of 7.25% and expected to touch 460 million pieces by the end of the year 2010 translating the Compounded Annual Growth Rate of 10.75%. This development is mainly due to the concentration of population in cities, the growth of large-scale industry and agriculture and the expansion of international and intercontinental trade. The economical and ecological situation of today’s world has made it necessary for industry to reduce costs, plan carefully, avoid waste and reuse or recycle the package. For users of large quantities of product and requiring bulk transportation of solids, FIBCs are the most cost saving materials of packaging, handling and transportation. The growing use of FIBCs in different markets is partly caused by users changing their packaging solutions (e.g. Woven sacks, multi-wall papers Bags, kraft, octabins, metal bins and plastic RBCs) to FIBCs. In Europe, the demand for FIBC augmented as a result of the EU Packaging Directives. Increased availability of specifically designed filling and discharging machines is also another reason for the shift from conventional packaging to FIBCs. The popularity and use of FIBCs will continue to grow as handling becomes increasingly mechanized. In our environmentally conscious world, FIBCs offer an excellent alternative to the traditional packaging solutions as they can be reused as well as recycled and therefore minimize disposal problems.

Market Size of FIBC in 2006

The FIBC’s Market is said to be growing at 10% Per Annum and its future growth is likely to be around 15% Per Annum. Additionally it is pertinent to note that World Trade is growing at 5% Per Annum. FIBC’s industries are constantly capturing Market share of smaller Packages like 25 or 50 Kilo Bags and Bulk Carriage. We believe that pace of this substitution of other packaging materials by the FIBC is set to continue at about 7 to 10% growth Per Annum. Thus, these two effects i.e. Normal growth of the Trade and substitution effect put together make the FIBC’s Industry one of the fastest growing Industries. (Source: PP/HDPE WOVEN SACKS NEWS, MAY 2006) GLOBAL COMPETITION Companies in the Western World are constantly looking for cheaper source of supplies. Since this product is a labour intensive product, cheaper source of labour makes it competitive. In Europe, many companies are either setting up shop or outsourcing from India and China. Since the labour cost is cheaper in India we are still competitive. Turkey has been the traditional source for FIBC’s to Europe, but with cost of Manpower going up in Turkey (due to there attempts to enter the EEC) India is well placed to fill the gap. (Source: PP/HDPE WOVEN SACKS NEWS, MAY 2006) The major producing Countries of FIBC’s in the world are estimated to have following production capacities.

INDIAN MARKET: The FIBC Market in India is estimated to be around 5 to 7 Millions Bags per Annum and is basically confined to Export oriented units, which are packing their Products in FIBC and exporting the same to Overseas Market. The following is the list of some of the industries, which typically use bulk bags: Sr. No. Industry and Products 1 Chemicals- which obviously cover a multitude of industries 2 Ferro Alloys 3 Crushed Stone, Sand, Gravel, Cement 4 Food- Sugar, Salt, Dextrose, Starch, Food Additives 5 Pharmaceutical 6 Plastics- Resin, Pellets, etc. 7 Absorbent Polymers 8 Refractories – Abrasive Grit, Ceramics, Clays, Lime, Powdered Metals,

Shot 9 Rubber 10 Carbon Black 11 Agriculture- Seed, Grain, Popcorn, Beans 12 Minerals and Speciality Minerals (Source: www.fibca.com) Manufacturing of FIBC in India started somewhere between 1992 to 1995 but the manufacturing gained momentum only around 1999 to 2000. There are approximately 15 manufacturing units in India, which are manufacturing the FIBC having installed capacity of approximately 60,000 TPA. The total turnover of this Industry in India is around 1000 Crore



60

and presently all the manufacturers in India are exporting most of their production. Out of which 90% production is exported to European Countries and balance 10% is being exported to American Countries. As per the Market sources approximately 3,20,000 TPA of bulky material like cereal, rice, Soyabeen, construction materials, Chemicals, Cement, Fertilizers and Plastic material is required to be packed in the Indian Market. Assuming that Bulk Carriers & Tankers are used for Cement & Petro-chemical, and considering only 10% penetration by FIBC’s usages, there exists a potential of 32,000 TPA, which is equivalent to 32 Million FIBC’s per annum. As against this, current FIBC’s sale in India is estimated to be in the range of 5 to 7 Million per annum, which in other word amounts to only 2% penetration in the domestic market. (Source: PP/HDPE WOVEN SACKS NEWS, MAY 2006) As per the India's Foreign Trade: 2006-07 (April-November), Primary products witnessed moderation in exports during April-September 2006. The moderation was mainly due to the substantial decline in the export of iron ore in the wake of sharp decline in off-take by China. Within the primary products group, agriculture and allied products posted a growth of 24 per cent during April-September 2006 on the back of sharp pick up in the exports of sugar and molasses. Traditional export items like tea, tobacco, spices and oil meal also recorded higher growth during April-September 2006. (Source: www.rbi.gov.in) Manufactured goods exports, in general, showed a moderation in growth (19 per cent) during April-September 2006 (29 per cent a year ago). Within manufactured goods, exports of engineering goods and chemicals and related products were the main growth drivers, while leather and manufactures, textiles and related products, gems and jewellery and handicrafts posted low or negative growth. (Source: www.rbi.gov.in) Exports of engineering products contributed to 64 per cent of the incremental manufactured products exports during April-September 2006 (37 per cent a year ago). Within this product group, machinery and instruments and electronic goods, in particular, recorded strong growth, benefiting from the firm demand from the US, Singapore, the UAE, the Netherlands and China. Exports of iron and steel also recorded marked growth in the wake of enhanced demand from the US, Germany, Belgium and UAE. (Source: www.rbi.gov.in) Chemicals and related products exports recorded 21 per cent growth during April-September. Exports of Petroleum products doubled in US dollar terms from US $ 4.9 billion during April-September 2005 to US $ 9.8 billion during April-September 2006, while in volume terms it increased by 60 per cent. The major markets for petroleum products were the UAE, Singapore, Yemen, Iran and South Africa. (Source: www.rbi.gov.in)

Our Company was the first unit to start manufacturing various kinds of unlaminated fabric products like HDPE bags and PP woven bags, etc. in the entire North India and was first to introduce Circular Weaving Machinery in the country to upgrade its technology in the year 1983-84. Due to encouraging response from the customers and looking to the vast potential of its products, our Company embarked upon an expansion programme to raise installed capacity to 3756 MTPA of unlaminated fabrics. Our Company purchased the adjoining plot at D-20 from UPSIDC in the year 1986 to achieve increased production to cope up with the market demand. Our Company is having major presence in the Industrial Packaging market in the country having excellent rapport with our customers in fertilizers, cement, sugar and food grain industry, which are the major users of the products manufactured by our company. Due to promulgation of Jute Packaging Material Bill passed by the Government of India in the year 1987, our Company’s sales got adversely affected. As a market diversification, our company was the first in the Country to explore the export market and started exporting its products through which the Company’s financial performance was strengthened gradually. As an additional activity in the Financial Year 2002-03, our Company was appointed as a Consignment Stockiest by Gas Authority of India Ltd. for marketing polymers in Kanpur Region. This helped to improve the bottom line of our Company.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS: The basic raw material used for manufacturing plastic woven fabrics, sacks and FIBC’s are HDPE and PP Granules. LDPE and LLDPE granules are used for the purpose of lamination and / or using them for Liners inside bags. These granules are put into an extruder known as a tape Line where material is extruded in the form of a sheet and casted in a water quench tank slitted into strips, stretched and stabilized and the Flat Tape thus made is woven into Fabric on Circular Looms. These Woven Fabrics at this stage is called Unlaminated Fabrics. These unlaminated fabrics are either used in its original form or are laminated as per the customers’ requirements. The lamination process is done on an Extrusion coating plant and is used only when customers have a need for a moisture proof bag. In the lamination process PP granules are used for laminating PP woven Fabrics and a combination of LDPE/ LLDPE granules is used for laminating on HDPE woven fabrics. In either case the fabric is cut to required sizes depending upon the specifications of the customer. The next stage is printing wherever required, sewing and then baled into suitable packing lots for ultimate dispatch to customer. The printing, sewing and baling process is identical to small PP bags and FIBCs and is cumulatively referred to as “finishing” the bag. This section consists of a variety of Industrial Sewing machines, Printing machines and Hydrualic Baling machines. Some of the customers require liner bags for specific use such as packing sugar. Chemicals, Plastic Granules etc and hence this facilty is also available. To produce liner bags, also an extruder is used where LDPE/LLDPE granules are extruded into a sheet of plastic film. The Liners are inserted into the Outer Woven bag as a loose insertion and is done only on specific request of customers. Company also produces a variety of components used for the manufacture of FIBC’s like webbing, sewing thread and tie tapes, which helps in vertical integration. All Products manufactured by the Company are tailor made and specifically manufactured against Purchase Orders placed by the Customers. Each customer has his own unique set of specifications. Manufacturing is started only after receipt of Purchase Order from the Customers. The Company receives detailed specifications i.e. size of fabric/bag and its weaving details from each customer and then manufacture and supply the finished Bags to them. Such products are also printed as per customers’ specifications.

QUALITY ASSURANCE, CONTROL AND TESTING Our Company has in-house Testing Facilities to test parameters related to Woven Sacks manufacturing as per BIS and other standards to ensure quality performance of products manufactured by the company. Our Company has well-established Quality Testing Process supported by quality-testing laboratory which has all types of equipments required for checking quality of HDPE/PP woven sacks and bags in line with Indian and International standards.

The equipments used in various quality tests include: 1. Reeling Machine & Weighing Scale 2. Measuring Tape 3. Template & Weighing Machine 4. Tensile Testing Machine 5. UV Weatherometer 6. Test Rig

Some of the major tests conducted by our Quality Control & Assurance Division are elaborated hereunder; (1) Tape Testing:

Six number samples are drawn at random from each tape line and tested for tape denier, tape width, breaking load and elongation at break. This procedure is repeated three times each tape lines every shift. Results are immediately send to operating staff. In the rare event of any deviations from set specifications, the operating staff is advised to keep the non-conforming material separately and take the necessary corrective actions. Fresh samples are drawn within 45 minutes to one hour for retesting. The operating staff checks denier at least twice in a shift. The non-conforming material is put to alternative usage only after due clearances from the chief of manufacturing department.

(2) Fabric Testing:

Whenever a loom is loaded the fabric is checked for correct type of tape, mesh and fabric width. The operating staff checks, fabric width and other visual parameters from time to time and shift supervisor does it at least twice a shift. The Quality Control staff does it once in a shift for all the looms. At the time of trolley changeover, a sample is drawn for testing of fabric GSM and tensile strength.

(3) Laminated Fabric Testing:

Operating staff is supposed to ensure proper coating quality and thickness. As soon as a laminated roll is made, a sample is sent for testing tensile properties and GSM of the fabric to Quality Control laboratory. During consumption of such a fabric a sample is drawn after each 1000mtrs/1000 cut pieces and again tested for tensile properties. All non-conforming materials are kept separately with proper identification for suitable disposal.

(4) Cutting Test: Cut pieces are checked for weaving defects, lamination defects

(if any), straight cutting, fraying of cut edges, correct cut length, etc. by operating staff as well as Quality Control staff.

69

(5) Stitching and Printing Test: All machines are checked for number of stitches, correct fold and size of stitched bags. Samples are drawn in each shift from each machine for checking of seam strength. Printing quality is continuously monitored to ensure defect free printing. Printing rejects are kept separately for suitable disposal. Samples from printing rejects are randomly drawn for complete destructive testing of all bag parameters in each shift.

(6) Drop Test: Periodic drop tests, as per relevant standards are carried out using designated materials to ensure superior bag performance.

(7) UV Testing: Whenever specified, samples are tested for UV stability using accelerated weather testing.

(8) Finished Goods, Pre Shipment Inspection: All finished goods are tested as per laid down procedures and standards before being cleared for dispatch by Quality Control. Incoming materials like stitching threads, printing inks, kraft paper, etc. are tested for quality parameters to ensure use of only good quality inputs. The entire system operates in a closed loop, i.e., plan, set, manufacture, test, and plan.

Besides, our Company has been awarded ISO 9001:2000 Quality Certification by NQAQSR Certification Private Limited, New Delhi on February 05, 2000 for Quality Management System applicable to manufacture and supply HDPE/PP Woven Fabrics, Sacks and allied products, papers, reinforced bags, bale wraps and jumbo bags and trading of plastic granules.

MARKET AND COMPETITION: The products being made by us are extensively used for industrial/agricultural packaging in the India and in overseas market. There are about 800 manufacturing units spread throughout the country at various destinations ranging from small scale to medium scale having capacities from 1,000 to 30,000 MTPA. As at present the combined manufacturing capacity is estimated to be about 7 Lakhs MTPA. (Source: Company data) 1. DOMESTIC MARKET: The company’s product profile falls into two major categories. HDPE/ PP woven sacks for packing 50 KG material and FIBC’s. Market profile for 50 Kg PP / HDPE woven sacks is below: Cement: The entire production of cement about 150 Million Tones is being packed in plastic woven sacks. (Source: Company data)

71

Chemicals & Fertilizers: The entire fertilizer manufactured and imported about 100 Million Tones is being packed in plastic woven sacks. The entire production of Petrochemicals by Reliance Industries Ltd, Haldia Chemicals, GAIL (India) Ltd. and recently started Indian Oil Corporation unit at Panipat apart from other chemical/resin manufacturing units based in the country use plastic woven sacks. (Source: Company data) Sugar: It is estimated that around 20% of total sugar produced i.e. about 0.36 Million Tones out of 1.80 Million Tones projected manufacture during the current season shall be packed in plastic woven sacks. (Source: Company data) Food grains: The entire export of rice for the last few years is being packed in plastic woven bags and Govt. has allowed packing of food grains starting with procurement in Haryana and Punjab for domestic use also relaxing Jute Packaging Act. (Source: Company data) Market scenario for FIBCs is given below:

The FIBC Market in India is estimated to be around 5 to 7 Millions Bags per Annum and is basically confined to Export oriented units, which are packing their Products in FIBC and exporting the same to Overseas Market.

Manufacturing of FIBC in India started some where between 1992 and 1995 but the manufacturing gained momentum only around 1999 and 2000. There are approximately 15 manufacturing Units in India, which are manufacturing the FIBC having installed capacity of approximately 60,000 MTPA. The total turnover of the packaging Industry in India is around 1000 Crore and presently all the manufacturers in India are exporting their 90% of their production out of India. Out of which 90% production is exported to European Countries and balance 10% is being exported to American Countries. Approximately 3,20,000 TPA of bulky material like cereal, rice Soyabeen, construction materials, Chemicals, Cement, Fertilizers and Plastic material is required to be packed in the Indian Market. Assuming that Bulkers & Tankers are used for Cement & Petro-chemical, and considering only 10% penetration by FIBC’s usages, there is a potential of 32,000 TPA, which is equivalent to 32 Million FIBC’s per annum. As against this, current FIBC’s sale in India is estimated to be in the range of 5 to 7 Million per annum, which in other word amounts to only 2% penetration in the domestic market. 2. SIZE OF GLOBAL MARKET:

The size of Global Market is estimated to be approximately 135 Million pieces per annum. The segment wise Market is as under;


72

Sr. No.

Region Pieces (in Millions) per annum)

Percentage

1 Europe 90 66.672 USA 40 29.633 Rest of the World 05 3.70 TOTAL 135 100.00

It is interesting to note that the uses of FIBC is mainly confined to Western European Countries like Germany, U.K. France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark’s, Sweden, Norway & USA. Even in Europe the Eastern European Countries are not using FIBC’s to the extent their counterpart in Western Europe are using. Similarly, in Africa and Asia uses of FIBCs is almost negligible for the simple reason that the Industries are not mechanized and labour is very cheap. Australia is the only other Country where we find use of FIBC.

3. GLOBAL PRODUCTION CAPACITY: The major producing Countries of

FIBC’s in the world are estimated to have following production capacities. A) Turkey 40 Millions pieces per Annum B) Eastern European Countries,

which includes Poland, Checkoslavia, Hungary etc.

05 Millions pieces per Annum

C) Western European Countries includes Belgium, France, U.K. Germany, and Greece & Portugal.

05 Millions pieces per Annum

D) American Countries which includes USA, Brazil, Argentina etc.

20 Millions pieces Per Annum

E) India 25 Millions pieces Per Annum F) China 30 Millions pieces Per Annum G) Rest of the World, which

includes Gulf Countries Australia, Russia, South Africa & Egypt.

10 Millions pieces Per Annum

Total 135 Millions Pieces Per Annum

Thus, we have observed that India Market’s share in the World is approximately 15%.

Exports Market: The manufacture and export of FIBC’s in India is currently being done by about 15 units spread all over the country. Our company has it’s own market ‘niche’ as most foreign buyers have identified their individual sources for supply of FIBC’s. (Source: Company data)

The Company wants to leverage this strength to its benefit in future so as to become an effective player in the plastic packaging industry with emphasis on export market. To provide best quality products and services to the customers in the main business strategy of our company.

(i) Brief Statement about Future Prospects:

The FIBC’s Market is said to be growing at 10% Per Annum and its future growth is likely to be around 15% Per Annum. The reason for such fast growth in the market is attributed to following two reasons:

A) World Trade is growing at 5% Per Annum.


74

B) FIBC’s industries are constantly capturing Market share of smaller Packages like 25 or 50 Kilo Bags and Bulk Carriage. We believe that pace of this substitution of other packaging materials by the FIBC is set to continue about 7 to 10% growth Per Annum.

Thus, these two effects i.e. Normal growth of the Trade and substitution effect combined together make the FIBC’s Industry one of the fastest growing Industries. (Source: Company data)

Strengths 1. The Company is having its presence in the industry since more than three

decades. 2. The Company has been able to build brand equity in the International

Market because of being consistent in offering quality products. This has been possible because of availability of technically sound workforce and ability to adhere to the international quality standard.

3. The Company has ability to offer Tailor made bulk-packaging solutions to the customers all over world by adopting design to suit individual customer’s requirements.

4. The Company has been able to offer full range of FIBCs products which includes low end application Bags like Builders Bags, Medium End Application Bags i.e. Dust proof & Baffle Bags and High end application Bags like Foodgrade, conductive & UN Bags.

5. The Company has been able to keep low cost of production as compared to competitors making its products globally competitive owing to availability of cheap labour force and constant upgradation of production technologies.

6. The Company is having trained and skilled labour force resulting into higher productivity.

7. The Company is having established customer base domestic as well as international.

8. The Company has been able to come out of BIFR as a sick unit and now is a profit making entity growing rapidly both in terms of business and profitability.

9. The Promoter and Directors of our Company are qualified engineers and MBAs having wide experience in the Plastic woven & sacks industry.

10. Company’s products are well accepted in the industry and it enjoys goodwill from the customers.

Weaknesses 1. Our Company has a disadvantage due to its geographical location. The

Lead-time from India to Europe/USA is 8 to 10 weeks. Customers have been demanding lead- time of 6 to 8 weeks, which has not been possible for our Company so far.


76

2. As with any Export oriented Unit, the Company is prone to exchange fluctuation risk since most of the realisation is in Foreign Currency. The Company has put in place a Forex Policy and actively hedges its Forex exposure to offset this risk.

3. The Company is presently operating through age-old machineries, which are not cost efficient.

Opportunities 1. With the world economy showing signs of recovery, the general trade

requirements have increased and will facilitate the growth required for all the Industries. Since the industry is growing at a rate of 10%-15% per annum world wide, there is lot of scope for increase in usage of Plastic woven sacks and fabrics and particularly FIBCs.

2. There is also a lot of growth potential in the FIBC industry for the manufacturers of Value Added Products since this is a niche segment with few suppliers. There are various new areas where our Company can enter into such as Food Grade Bags, Anti Static & conductive Bags and UN bags.

3. The demand for Company’s products has a bright future. 4. The plastic woven sacks is cost effective & easy to handle vis-a-vis

conventional woven sacks. Therefore, demand for plastic woven sacks is growing consistently.

Threats 1. Competition among the manufacturers results into shrinking of profit

margins.

IV. HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE OF COMPANY

1 History & Background of The Company:

Kanpur Plastipack Limited was incorporated in the year 1971 as a private limited company under the Companies Act, 1956 promoted by Mr. Mahesh Swarup Agarwal and Mrs. Santosh Swarup Agarwal for setting up a unit for manufacturing HDPE woven fabric and sacks of various sizes with an installed capacity of about 130 MT per annum at D-19, Panki Industrial Area, Site - I, PO. Udyog Nagar, Kanpur. With Constant expansions involving modernization of Plant and upgradation of production technology, our Company could achieve a production capacity of about 1890 MTPA by the year 1985-86. Our Company was the first unit to start manufacturing this kind product in the entire North India and was first to introduce Circular Weaving Machinery in the Country to upgrade its technology in the year 1983-84. Encouraged by the expanded response from our customers and looking to the vast potential for demand of our products, our Company embarked upon expansion programme and raised installed capacity to 3756 MTPA and for the same we bought adjoining Plot No. D-20, Panki Industrial Area, PO: Udyog Nagar, Kanpur – 208 022 from UPSIDC in the year 1986. During the year 1985, our Company was converted to a Public Limited Company. During the period the Company increased gradually its Share Capital from Rs. 2.65 Lakhs to Rs. 142 Lakhs. The Company went in for a Public issue of 12,00,000 Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each for cash at a premium of Rs. 2/- in the year 1986 and was over subscribed by 3.2 times. After this issue the paid up Share Capital enhanced to Rs. 262 Lakhs. Company’s Equity Shares were listed at BSE, Delhi Stock Exchange, Kolkatta Stock Exchange and Uttar Pradesh Stock Exchange. On account of Online trading commenced by Bombay Stock Exchange and no trading of the Company’s Equity Shares at the Regional Stock Exchanges, our Company got the Equity Shares delisted from such regional stock exchanges as per the extant rules with effect from 31st March 2005. Our Company’s Equity Shares are presently listed only at BSE. The Company till then had all along been making profits and had major presence in the Industrial Packaging Market in the country having excellent rapport with its Customers in Fertilizers, Cement, Sugar and Foodgrain Industry. These were the main users of the products made by the Company. Our Company is having major presence in the Industrial Packaging market in the country having excellent rapport with our customers in fertilizers, cement, sugar and sugar end users in India and all major Distributors in this sector in Europe and USA.

Unfortunately, the Government of India to protect Jute Industry promulgated an act as Jute Packaging Material Bill, (Compulsory use in Packaging


80

Commodities) 1987 which was passed by the Parliament on 6th May, 1987 and gazzetted on 11th May, 1987, which provided for compulsory use of Jute packaging products in various Industries and Gradually restrictions continued.

Thus, all of a sudden the demand of Company’s products was drastically curtailed whereby the Plastic Woven Sack Industry all over the Country faced bleak future and with competition amongst the various manufacturing units, the margins started eroding adversely affecting the profitability of the entire Industry in the Country including us. For the first time in the history of our Company, cash loss of Rs. 47 Lakhs was incurred for the Financial Year 1987/88. Our Company continued to suffer losses in subsequent years. As a Market diversification, our Company was the first in the country to explore the Export Market and started Exports of its Products, which at that time were not very remunerative. It was only to utilize the manufacturing facilities and contain losses. Due to this Act of Parliament the entire project of paper-lined bag with installed imported machinery could not be utilized and thus Capital cost incurred added to the burden of the Company. These unforeseen circumstances completely upset the projections made at the time of Public Issue & the Management was forced to take suitable steps to continue its operations. Having eroded the entire net worth by the end of Financial year 1989-90 as per provision of the Central Government, the Company applied to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction on 14th Aug. 1990 for registration as a sick unit under the then provisions and was declared a Sick Unit vide Hon’ble Board Order dated 11/03/1991 under proviso to Section 15 (1) of the Sick Industrial Company (Special Provision), Act 1985. Thereafter, Rehabilitation package was sanctioned by the Hon’ble Board on 14/07/1992 providing for certain relief by the Financial Institutions and re-construction of the Term liabilities. As per BIFR package, promoters, by way of sacrifice on their part, had been asked to convert existing unsecured loan Rs. 10 Lakhs into the Equity and to further bring in Rs. 52 Lakhs by way of additional Equity at par. As such the Share Capital of the Company increased from Rs. 262 Lakhs to Rs. 319.72 Lakhs by 1993/94.

The Company inspite of its best efforts could not meet the projections made in the BIFR package and as such review meetings were held in May & July 1995 for further concessions and debt restructuring to settle dues of Financial Institutions. On July 31,1997 the Hon’ble bench of BIFR approved a One Time Settlement Scheme to the Financial Institutions whereby an amount of Rs. 192 Lakhs out of total outstanding towards funded interest/compound/Panel and unpaid interest were waived. As there were no overdues to State Bank of India, they did not participated in the OTS. The Company was required to bring additional funds and the promoters contributed additional Rs. 34.03 Lakhs towards the Equity Shares at par, thus making the total share Capital as on 31/03/1998 to Rs. 353 Lakhs.

81

With the Company’s thrust on Exports, the Company improved its financial performance during subsequent periods and made timely settlement of OTS dues as provided in the Revised Rehabilitation package. Thereafter the Company submitted a Progress Report on the implementation of the scheme to the Hon’ble Board as on 31/03/2000 and the Hon’ble Board was pleased to discharge the Company over the purview of BIFR vide their Order dated 17th Aug. 2000. During the entire period between 1992-2000, the Company continued to upgrade its technology, installing additional and balancing Plant and Equipments, which resulted in continued increase in production and our company was granted ISO Certification – ISO 9002 by NQA Quality System Registrar Ltd in 1999 and now ISO 9001:2000 Certificate. As an additional activity in the financial year 2002-03, the Company was appointed as a Consignment Stockiest by Gas Authority of India Ltd. for marketing polymers in Kanpur Region. During later periods Company’s progress continued and with thrust on exports which doubled during Financial year 2004/05 resulted in Company availing export incentive under ‘Target Plus Scheme’ from the Ministry of Commerce, which meant an Import License of about Rs. 2 Crores for duty free import of Raw material for domestic consumptions. The Company will thus take benefit of this during coming financial years. Recognizing the efforts made by the Company, ‘NIRYAT SHREE’ Award was granted by Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO) for financial year 2004/05, presented by Shri Kamal Nath, Hon’ble Minister of Commerce, Government of India on 26/12/2006. During the year 2005/06, the Company was granted ‘ One Star Export House Status ’ from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. It should be noted that after rehabilitation the Company’s gross turnover which in financial year 2000/01 was Rs. 35 Crores reached to Rs. 55 Crores in 2005/06. The Company continued making profits and with the cash so generated installed more balancing equipments with further thrust on exports for value added items- FIBC’s (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) mainly for creations of additional finishing facilities necessary for Export Market. With the help of these efforts Company’s production gradually increased and reached to the level of 6,000 MT per annum in the year 2005/06. After rehabilitation and having consolidated it’s operations, maiden Dividend @ 6% was declared for financial years 2004/05 & was repeated for 2005/06.

IV. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION AS REFLECTED IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

1. Overview of the business of the Company:

Our Company was incorporated on 26th July 1971 as a Private Limited Company with an object to manufacture HDPE Woven Fabric and Sacks of various sizes and other plastic packaging materials. The founder promoters of our Company are Mr. Mahesh Swarup Agarwal and Mrs. Santosh Agarwal. The Company was converted into a Public Limited Company w.e.f. 9th December 1985. Our Company started its production with an installed capacity of 130 M.T.P.A. at D-19, Panki Industrial Area, Kanpur – 208 022 which was taken on lease from U.P.S.I.D.C. Thereafter, due to rapid expansion in the business of the Company and modernization of plant and machineries and upgradation of production technology gradually, our company achieved production of about 1890 MTPA by the year 1985-86. Our Company was the first unit to start manufacturing of these kinds of products in the entire North India and was first to introduce Circular Weaving Machinery in the country to upgrade its technology in the year 1983-84. Due to encouraging response from the customers and looking to the vast potential of its products, our Company embarked upon an expansion programme to raise installed capacity to 3756 MTPA. Our Company came out with its maiden IPO in the year 1985-86, which was oversubscribed by 3.20 times. Our Company is having major presence in the Industrial Packaging market in the country having excellent rapport with our customers in fertilizers, cement, sugar and food grain industry, which are the main users of the products manufactured by our company. Due to promulgation of Jute Packaging Material Bill passed by the Government of India in the year 1987, our Company’s sales got adversely affected. As a market diversification, our company was the first in the Country to explore the export market and started exporting its products through which the Company’s financial performance was strengthened gradually. As an additional activity in the Financial Year 2002-03, our Company was appointed as a Consignment Stockiest by Gas Authority of India Ltd. for marketing polymers in Kanpur Region. This helped to improve the bottom line of our Company.

FY 2004-05 During the year, the Net Sales of the Company was increased by 35.17% to Rs. 4836.04 lakhs from Rs. 3577.68 lakhs in the corresponding previous year. The major factor in increase of net sales of the Company was due to satisfied overseas customers and repeat orders for exporters. During the same period, the Profit after


142

Tax of the Company grew by 786% to Rs. 77.88 lakhs from Rs. 8.79 lakhs in the corresponding previous year. The increase was mainly due to provision of Deferred Tax Liability during the year 2003-04. FY 2005-06 During the FY 2005-06, the net sales of the Company increased by 5.31% to Rs. 5156.08 lakhs from Rs. 4896.04 lakhs in FY 2004-05. However, during the same period, the Profit after Tax of the Company declined by 48.39% to Rs. 40.19 lakhs from Rs. 77.88 lakhs in the corresponding previous year. The decline in the profit after tax was mainly contributed to volatile export market and increase in the Crude oil prices and consequently increased raw-material prices.

Analysis of reasons for the changes in significant items of income and expenditure in respect of the following: a) Unusual or infrequent events or transactions There are no unusual or infrequent events or transactions. b) Significant Economic changes that materially affected or are likely to

affect income from continuing operations: There are no significant economic changes that have effected or will affect the

industry except the cost of the basic raw material and power, which are vital input in the manufacturing of HDPE/PP granular and tends to fluctuate as per the market conditions and demand-supply of crude oil.

c) Known Trends or uncertainties: The demand for the products of the company has shown the increasing trend in

the past two years and likely to remain increasing in near future due to spurt in productive activities in the Indian Economy and development of infrastructure projects which would help the company in increasing its production, turnover and consequent profits.

d) Future changes in relationship between costs and revenues: Due to increase in the demand for the Company’s product, there is scope for

increase in the revenues of the company. The future increase in the revenue will offset any increase in cost price of the raw material and labor cost.

e) The extent to which material increase in net sales or revenue is due to

increased sales volume, introduction of new products or services or increased sale prices.

The Company’s present installed capacity is utilized to the level of approximately 90%. The Company proposes to modernize and expand its capacity with the latest technology, which would not only reduce the cost of production but also increase the production substantially on account of higher speed of machinery. Therefore, with higher production, the Company would increase its sales volume with competitive prices.

f) Seasonality of business: The Company’s business is not seasonal.

143

g) Dependence on single or few suppliers/customers The Company is dependent on few suppliers like Reliance Industries, Haldia

Petrochemicals for their raw materials like HDPE/PP granules. The Company exports more than 67% of its total sales to customers in the overseas market like United Kingdom, United States of America, Spain, Germany, etc. There are very few overseas customers to which the Company supplies its final products.

As far as supply of raw material is concerned, the Company can also import the

raw material from various international suppliers by working out the trade-of the domestic and overseas cost. In regard to customers, the Company is planning to increase its presence in the domestic market to substantially reduce its dependence on the overseas market.

h) Competitive Conditions: The Company operates in competitive conditions. However, the Company has

accreditation from ISO: 9001-2000 for its all products and above all its quality of products enjoys good reputation amongst customers.

i) Material developments after the date of the last Balance sheet: There are no material developments after the date of last audited Balance sheet,

which will have any adverse impact on the Company. j) Adverse events: There are no adverse events affecting the operations of the Company occurring

within one year prior to the date of filing of the Draft Letter of Offer with the BSE.

4. Director’s Statement:

In the opinion of the Directors, there have not arisen, since the date of the last financial statements disclosed in the Draft Letter of Offer, any circumstances that materially and adversely affect the business or profitability of the Company, or the value of its assets, or its ability to pay liabilities within the next 12 months.

Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the industrial policy of Govt. of India or the Industrial Policy and FEMA. While the Industrial Policy prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of Indian economy to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The government bodies responsible for granting foreign investment approvals are the Foreign Investment Promotion Board of the Govt. of India (FIPB) and the RBI. The existing non-resident shareholders may apply for issue of additional shares and the company may allot the same subject to the condition that the overall issue of shares to non-residents in the total paid up capital does not exceed the sectoral cap.

By way of Circular No. 53 dated December 17, 2003, the RBI has permitted FIIs to subscribe to shares of an Indian company in a public issue without prior RBI approval, so long as the price of Equity shares to be issued is not less than the price at which Equity shares are issued to residents. The transfer of Equity shares of NRIs, FIIs, Foreign Venture Capital Investors registered with SEBI and Multilateral and Bilateral Development Financial institutions shall be subject to the conditions as may be prescribed by the Government of India or RBI while granting such approvals.
