YEAR AT A GLANCE:
Financial Performance:
The Net revenue from operations decreased to Rs, 6195.16 lakh as against Rs, 6315.62 Lakh in the previous year showing a downward trend of 1.91% due to decrease in export sales of laminates by 26.41%.
The loss before Tax for the current year is Rs, 246.99 lakh as against the profit before tax of Rs, 146.54 lakh in the previous year resulted into loss after tax of Rs, 189.32 Lakh compared to profit after tax of previous year Rs, 68.63 Lakh.
The reason for fall in the Profit after tax is increase in the employment cost and finance cost as well in the financial year 2015-16. During the financial year 2015-16, the company''s major loss is attributed to the investments made to lay the foundation for a revenue enhancement strategy along with sustainable growth to enter the Rs. 100 crores league in terms of top line. Strategic and calculated decisions have been taken to enhance the business model in order to compete with the market leaders in terms of product delivery and service. As part of this strategy, the company has opened up its own depots carrying full stock at various new locations thereby affecting the inventory in the short term but giving it a huge competitive advantage in the longer run.
The company has had 2 major investments - one with the Times Treaty and the other appointing KPMG as a strategic consultant to provide inputs on revenue enhancements, SOPS for a sustainable growth and leading HR practices to refine the hierarchy of the organization to be able to implement the growth plan. All these investments are already proving to garner benefits and the next financial year to witness better numbers as a result of this ground work that is done.

In addition to this, frequent shortage of raw materials also affected
the overall production and in turn, the antidpated top and bottom line
of the Company.
Moreover, with the new project of an additional press in the laminate
vertical and increasing the product range and the capacity, the company
faced several unforeseen bottlenecks in the smooth working of this new
expansion. Additional investment had to be made in large machineries
including a boiler, phenolic treater, etc which consumed time and
increased fixed costs thereby delaying the opportunity to leverage the
output and the added capacity.
Despite the downturn in the economy Bloom Dekor has managed to sustain
the top line.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
The turnover of the company in the year 2013-14 is Rs. 6364.09 Lacs as
against Rs. 6358.69 Lacs for the previous year 2012-13.
During the financial year under review, there had been a number of
external factors adversely affecting the performance and profitability
of the Company:
1) Pressure on raw material input cost for Phenol, Methanol,
Formaldehyde and Melamine due to rising crude oil prices.
2) Unfavorable exchange rates of US Dollar and EURO
3) Increase in both inward and outward freight costs due to high fuel
prices.
In addition to this, frequent shortage of raw materials also affected
the overall production and in turn, the anticipated top and bottom line
of the Company. Moreover, with the new project of an additional press
in the laminate vertical and increasing the product range and the
capacity, the company faced several unforeseen bottlenecks in the
smooth working of this new expansion. Additional investment had to be
made in large machineries including a boiler, phenolic treater, etc
which consumed time and increased fixed costs thereby delaying the
opportunity to leverage the output and the added capacity.
Despite the downturn in the economy Bloom Dekor has managed to sustain
the top line. However, major forex exchange fluctuation impacted the
bottom line.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND DEVELOPMENTS:
Globally, the decorative laminate industry is projected to have a
marginal growth. However the picture appears to becoming better for the
coming decade mainly on account of boom in the real estate markets
which has put a high demand for decorative laminate sheets catering to
the interior decoration of the innumerable residential and commercial
buildings sector.
At the same time, the Chinese invasion with low prices is adding
pressure on the price realizations. The contribution of Indian laminate
industry to the world demand is still under utilized and offers a lot
of opportunity for the growth in volume.
OUTLOOK & OPPORTUNITIES:
LAMINATES:
Bloom has always been a preference amongst the architects and the
interior designers  the major influencers in the buying decision of
the customer. With all bottlenecks removed, Bloom is all geared to
introduce its range of 7x3 laminates into the market and is looking at
a 15-20% growth notwithstanding the market conditions. The real estate
market had been sluggish because of the supply over passing the demand.
This slow pace was also hindered because of the lack of monsoon.
However, with the increase in product range, market share and the
network, Bloom has great plans to significantly achieve growth with
improved margins.
DOORS:
Bloom Doors is on track with its business plan of increasing the
network and penetration into the market by reaching out to the dealer
network directly. Authorised channel partners are being formed pan
India as a part of the business plan along with franchises given to
showcase a gallery of doors that make the convincing process much
easier. The product has a guaranteed future but is finding resistance
due to the price. This however will be overcome by the increased
awareness of good quality doors amongst the minds of the end customers.
Bloom Doors have also found their place online in e- commerce portal of
Snapdeal which has helped the company build its brand online. A few
orders have been processed through snapdeal and the feedback has been
very encouraging. Except for minor challenges in sourcing man power,
the road map for Bloom Doors is vivid with a guaranteed product with
zero defects and zero maintenance problems. The negative growth has
majorly been because of the delayed decisions from the real estate
sector due to the delay in projects and the slag in the demand.
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT
The company is strategically taking calls to merge teams of both the
verticals to increase the network without increasing the fixed costs
significantly. An increased team of professionals to advice on the
financial decisions of foreign exchange fluctuations and a smooth on
time outsourced internal audit team to help us receive apt reports to
take informed decisions.
RISK PERCEPTION:
Looking at the price movement of world crude oil prices, there would be
noticeable variations in prices and supply of various chemicals and raw
materials. The weakening of rupee will prove to be a major setback
which will directly affect all raw material prices in both the Doors
and the Laminates division.
However, the company is determined and focused to gain momentum in
growth and to improve their profit margins for the coming financial
year by dividing the over heads into higher sales.
For the doors division, competition will come in from cheaper doors
being marketed by Chinese companies and other unorganized flush door
manufacturers and not to forget the growth of new companies which would
be wanting to tap the huge market that exists for the eco-friendly
engineered panel doors and designer flush doors. This will induce heavy
pressure on the cost control during the manufacturing process.
INTERNAL CONTROLS & THEIR ADEQUACY:
Internal Audit & Inspection:
A comprehensive system of internal inspection and audit is in place in
the company to monitor internal control systems. The scope and
coverage of the Audit is reviewed from time to time to make it more
focused and effective. The system of both out-sourcing and in-house
audit continued during the year 2013-14.
HUMAN RESOURCES:
During the year under review the employee attrition was minimal. The
management continues its efforts in imparting professional training to
Executives and Staff members at various levels with the view to upgrade
their competence and managerial abilities. The Industrial relations in
the company continued to be cordial in the year 2013-14.
New focus is being given to improve safety for the workers and improve
awareness of work place management through training on 5S principles.

the collective opinion of the company. Wherever possible, conservative
estimates have been considered.
Certain statements in this section relating to estimates, projections
and expectations may be forward looking within the meaning of

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
The growth in the local market opened new opportunities for the company
to shift focus onto the domestic markets. Domestic sales have shown a
growth of 16.02% over the previous year 11-12.
The gross turnover of the company in the year 2012-2013 has shown a
growth of 17.88% as compared to the previous year which also exceeded
the projections. The turnover of the company in the year 2012-2013 is
Rs.6358.69 Lacs as against Rs.5393.96 Lacs for the previous year
2011-2012.
The domestic markets in India have shown tremendous up trends in demand
due to a boom in the construction industry and new design concepts
emerging for sophisticated interiors. This is reason enough for the
increase in domestic laminate sales and strategic decisions taken by
the management have helped in improving the top line of the company
both in the domestic and the international markets.
During the financial year under review, there had been a number of
external factors adversely affecting the performance and profitability
of the Company; i.e Increase in 1) raw material cost, for chemicals
like Phenol, Methanol, Formaldehyde and Melamine due to rising crude
oil prices. 2) Unfavorable exchange rates of US Dollar and EURO 3)
Increase in both inward and outward freight costs due to high fuel
prices. In addition to this, frequent shortage of raw materials also
affected the overall production and in turn, the anticipated top line
of the Company.
Despite the downturn in the economy Bloom Dekor has returned an
increase of 17.88% on the top line with better margins.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND DEVELOPMENTS:
Globally, the decorative laminate industry is projected to have a
marginal growth. However, the domestic market is showing a very healthy
double digit growth, which appears to be sustainable for the coming
decade mainly on account of boom in the real estate markets which has
put a high demand for decorative laminate sheets catering to the
interior decoration of the innumerable residential and commercial
buildings sector. At the same time, the Chinese invasion with low
prices is adding pressure on the price realizations. The contribution
of Indian laminate industry to the world demand is still under utilized
and offers a lot of opportunity for the growth in volume.
OUTLOOK & OPPORTUNITIES: LAMINATES:
Bloom is continuing to be a preference amongst the architects and the
interior designers by the introduction of each of its new collection
every season. We will be concentrating on expanding our reach to tie up
with new channel partners to increase volume. The 3rd press for
laminates will be operational soon and Bloom will look to cater to the
door skins market by the introduction of 7x3 sized HPL sheets.
Professional Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have been
implemented, which will help the company take strategic decisions on
cost cutting and improving the bottom line. With the implementation of
the new press and a new product in the form of 7x3, along with creating
an entirely new channel partner strategy to market this product, Bloom
has great plans to significantly achieve growth with improved margins.
DOORS:
Bloom Doors has seen a significant increase in comparison to the
figures for the previous years. There has been excellent acceptance
feedback and the company has widened its direct marketing for doors to
over a dozen cities outside the home territory. Huge plans are in
process and the company should be out with a totally new look and
awareness campaign for the use of good decorative doors through its
team of efficient sales executives. This B2B product will also find its
way to the retail customer through a strategic execution plan of
creating a network of channel partners. Distribution policies, a newer
product range, branding etc will be a part of this plan. To effectively
market doors in the shortest span of time, Bloom will also leverage the
Times Treaty and tie up with various professional creative agencies to
execute the action plan in a professional and time bound manner to mark
its presence and position itself as a premium door manufacturer in this
competitive door industry.
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT
The company is poised for phenomenal growth and has also started the
management restructuring process and introduction of modern systems to
ensure total professional approach to business. Company is also in the
process of implementation of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
software.
RISK PERCEPTION:
Looking at the price movement of world crude oil prices, there would be
