FUTURE OUTLOOK AND PLANS
Your Company foresees a good scope for the export of its products. In order to give a boost to the exports, your Company has decided to incorporate a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company in Florida (USA). It will mainly cater to the needs of North and South America as these have been the untapped markets so far. However, frequent and wide fluctuations in foreign currency and tough competition in the international market continues to be a challenge for your Company.
Efforts are going on to develop more products of toner and your Company is hopeful to achieve the desired results with the help of the research team. Some other value added products have already been added in the product list like the wide format printer toners.
The Management of your Company is actively exploring opportunities to invest in some new projects.
AMALGAMATION OF ITDL IMAGETEC LIMITED (A SUBSIDIARY CO.) AND OTHER GROUP COMPANIES WITH INDIAN TONERS & DEVELOPERS LTD.
During the year, the Management of your Company approved the proposal for amalgamation of its Subsidiary Company - ITDL IMAGETEC LIMITED and other Group Companies with your company namely INDIAN TONERS & DEVELOPERS LTD. The scheme of arrangement was approved by the Board in its meeting held on 23.03.2016 and thereafter the same was filed with BSE LTD. where the shares of the Company are listed for its No-Objection. The Company has complied with all the formalities of the Stock Exchange and is hopeful of getting their approval / NOC in due course. The scheme is subject to the approval of Honâble High Courts and members of the respective companies.
The rationale for the scheme of arrangement is that INDIAN TONERS & DEVELOPERS LTD., the Transferee Company is engaged in the manufacturing of compatible toners for copiers, printers, digital multi-function devices and white format printing. The Company majorly focuses on the exports. The Subsidiary, ITDL IMAGETEC LIMITED is also engaged in similar manufacturing. However, it mainly concentrates on the domestic market. The international market of the product is highly competitive and hence it is not growing rapidly, while in the domestic market, the group has niche.
The amalgamation of ITDL IMAGETEC LIMITED with INDIAN TONERS & DEVELOPERS LTD. would provide a competitive edge to the Transferee Company, as now it would be focusing on the international as well as domestic market. Additionally, the amalgamation shall also add to the financial strength of the Transferee Company and shall provide flexibility. The amalgamation of all the other Transferor Companies shall bring out the consolidated structure of the Group, where in post the amalgamation, the group shall be having clean corporate structure.
This scheme of amalgamation shall also improve the financial strength and flexibility for the Transferee Company which would result in maximizing overall shareholder value and will improve the competitive position of the combined entity, eliminating intra group competition, achieve greater efficiencies operations with optimum utilization of resources, better administration and reduced cost.
WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY
In order to cover the untapped markets of North and South America, your Company has decided to incorporate a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company in the State of Florida (USA) with an investment of upto $2,50,000- only. The necessary steps are being taken in this direction.
EXPANSION PROGRAMME IN ITDL IMAGETEC LIMITED
ITDL IMAGETEC LIMITED - a Subsidiary Company in Sitarganj (Uttarakhand) with the manufacturing capacity of 1800 MT of toner is doing very well and giving satisfactory results. The last expansion in the Subsidiary Company was completed in the year 2015 by increasing its manufacturing capacity from 1200 MT to 1800 MT. Now once again it has decided to further expand its manufacturing capacity from 1800 MT to 2400 MT by 31st March, 2017. With this expansion, the performance of your Subsidiary Company will be better in the coming years.
