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.

Dear members,

The Directors take pleasure in presenting the 24th Annual Report along with the Audited Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2015 as under:

Net Profit/ (Loss) carried to Balance Sheet 632.24 563.61

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

The turnover of the company in the year 2014-15 is Rs. 6,315.62 Lacs as againstRs. 6364.09 Lacs for the previous year 2013- 14.

During the current finandal year our Company has gain a net profit ofRs. 68.63 Lacs as against the loss ofRs. 165.36 Lacs in P.Y. 2013-14 which shows the upward growth in the bottom line of more than 100%. Still at present, there have 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 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.

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.

DIVIDEND:

Your Directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of Rs.0.80/- per equity share of Rs.10 /- each for the year ended 31st March, 2013, subject to the approval of the members at the ensuing Annual General Meeting.

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 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.
