OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

The consolidated revenue of Jumbo Bag Limited stands at Rs. 96.36 Crores for the financial year ended on 31st March 2015 as compared to the revenue of Rs 83.53 crores in the previous year. Your Company has incurred a loss during this year amounting to Rs. 1.35 Crores in the current year as against the loss of Rs.2.21 Crores in the previous year.

The after effects of the major fire accident that your company had faced towards the end of 2013-14 had serious implications in its performance in the financial year 2014-15 as well, since your company was able to carry on the manufacturing activity in only one of its manufacturing units. Your company strove to find the best alternative solution to build up the production capacity that was lost in the fire accident. However, the company managed to stabilize its production during the course of the Financial Year 2014-15.

The machineries and equipments from Unit II, where the fire broke, were shifted to Unit I and the satellite units during the year and this helped in maintaining the optimal level of production. The current stabilization in production has helped the company to recover some of the loss incurred last year. However, your company expects the payment of insurance claim to enable further stabilization in the operations.

Your company continues its struggle with the insurance claim process which is still underway. During the month of November, 2014, the company had received a letter of repudiation from one of the insurance company against the claim made in the earlier year in respect of loss of stock. Based on the legal advice received the stand taken by the insurance company is not tenable and your company has already filed the objection/appeal against the said letter. Your company is taking necessary measures to seek appropriate remedies in the matter. Based on expert legal advice, the Company believes that it has a good case and expects a favourable decision from the regulatory authorities.

Your company continues to perform well on the trading sector and the growth trajectory has been maintained on an upward trend with the increase in sales commission by 22% in the year 2014-15 as against 2013-14. With the impressive performance over the last 4 years, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) has provided an opportunity to your company to expand the trading business geographically and to venture in the North

Indian markets in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chattisgarh. The Company is exploring the market at present and it is expected that growth in the northern region shall be at a slower pace than the southern region as the market in the South is well established.

We further report that during the audit period, no events have occurred during the year, which have a major bearing on the Company's affairs except the Order dated 09th December 2014 passed by SAT against BSE & SEBI condoning the delay in submitting the Audited Financial Results of the Company for the quarter ended 31.12.2013 and year ended 31.03.2014 due to the major fire accident, occurred during that period and application for delisting of equity shares from Madras Stock Exchange made during the year 2014-15 for which the delisting order was received by the company in May 2015.

Management's Reply:

The company had, in the month of November 2013 faced a major fire accident in one of its factories at Athipedu. The accident resulted in huge capital loss for the company. Since the loss amount was large and the insurance survey was under process, the company was not able to submit the unaudited financial results for the quarter ended 31st December, 2013 and the audited financial results for the year ended 31st March 2014.

The Stock Exchange had, in this regard issued a notice to the company for demanding compliance of Clause 41, non-compliance of which would lead to suspension. As the delays made for filing was due to an exceptional circumstance, the company had requested for exemptions well before the time of filing the above-said financials. However, the stock exchanges and SEBI did not consider our grievance and issued a notice for suspension of trading in shares of the company vide their letter dated 19th August 2014.

The company, aggrieved by the communication, filed an appeal with the SEBI Appellate Tribunal. The case was heard on 9th December, 2014 by SAT and without going into the merits of the matter, SAT disposed the appeal setting aside BSE's impugned order for suspension of trading in shares with the stock exchange and also set aside the penalty that was levied for non-filing of financial statement.

The company had, however, subsequently submitted the unaudited results for the quarter ended 31st December, 2013 and the audited financial results for the year ended 31st March, 2014 in its meeting held on 13th August, 2014.

Management discussion and analysis:

Global Economy Outlook

World growth is projected at about 4.25 percent in 2011.

(Source: IMF)

There is underlying uncertainty in the global economy. US has still not recovered from the recession and there are repeated problems about crisis in some European countries. China is also undergoing a metamorphosis of sorts with high infation and currency adjustment.

INDIAN ECONOMY:

The Indian economy, on the back of improved agricultural output, strong private consumption, robust investment, and a pick-up in exports, has rebounded strongly with a GDP growth of 8.6 per cent in 2010- 11. However, infation has emerged as a major concern. While the GDP has shown a slight increase during the year 2010-11 as compared to the year 2009-10, the over all expectations of attaining the double digit GDP growth is still eluding India. The Ministry of Finance indicates that a growth of 9% is expected during the year 2011-12. Taking into consideration the continued tightening of monetary policy and further escalation in global oil prices, it is expected that India will be able to achieve a GDP growth rate of 8 to 8.5% during the financial year 2011-12. The Indian manufacturing industry had registered an overall growth of only 7.8% during April-February 2010-11 as against 10% seen during April-February 2009-10. The increase in infation from 8.31% in February 2011 to 8.98% in March 2011, will affect the performance of most companies. The high interest rate regime is a compromise for high growth and not enough is being done to control infation through supply side interventions. India needs to go towards a more balanced interest rate regime aligned to sustain the pace of growth.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND FIBC MARKET OUTLOOK:

The $500 billion global packaging industry is multi-technology, multi product and multi process industry. Your company is focused on the $5 Billion FIBC segment. The company has a market share of about 7% of domestic demand (Source: Crisil). The FIBC industry is set to grow at about 5% globally and 13-15% per annum domestically over the next fve years basically on account of growing demand for FIBC in end-use industry and growing acceptance of FIBC over other forms of packaging.

Demand from end-use industries to grow significantly

60% of the domestic FIBC demand is due to the petrochemical and mineral industries. The petrochemical industry, which accounts for 40% of the company's sales, is expected to be one of the fastest growing end-use segments for FIBCs.

FIBC is being preferred to other forms of packaging

Packing materials made from textiles include wrapping fabric, polyolefn woven sacks, hessian (commonly known as jute) bags and FIBCs. Industries that predominantly use packaging textiles are increasingly switching to FIBC as it offers benefits over the hessian bags, such as lower cost, better protection of contents, ease in procurement of the required polymer grades and more convenient handling. Further, FIBCs are fnding newer applications such as UN bags (for hazardous goods) and clean room bags (used for food products such as milk powder, starch, spices and bulk drugs). These are a small but growing proportion of the total domestic FIBC consumption.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

Though your company's top line performance had increased by 51% from Rs. 69 Crores to Rs. 104 Crores, it did not result in increase in the bottom line due to high manufacturing cost and volatile raw material prices. Although the order positions have never been a problem, the major concern for the company remains shortage of labour and power.

Segment wise performance:

Manufacturing

The manufacturing industry in India has had a weak year and the situation is the same with your company also. The major factors which hampered the performance of the company are: fuctuating raw material & fuel prices, lack of power, non availability of skilled and semi skilled workers, and underutilization of capacity.

Trading

We had in the previous annual report reported that the company had been appointed by Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) as one of its Del – Credere Associate cum consignment stockist for Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry and Kerala. IOCL had in the year 2009-10 started manufacturing polymer raw materials such as polypropylene and polyethylene among others. The delay in grade availability and unanticipated production shutdowns did not allow volume growth to the anticipated extent. However your company has earned a commission income of Rs. 15 lacs from trading activity. The company is expecting to continuously enhance its volume as IOCL scales up its capacity and makes more grades available on continuous basis.

SWOT ANALYSIS:

STRENGTHS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The major strengths of the Company are that it has a diverse market with customers in over 30 countries and the value added bags which are made available as per the customer needs. The increasing demand for the FIBC bags due to industries such as chemicals, fertilizers, food products, grains, pharmaceuticals among others switching over to FIBC bags gives your company the confdence of bouncing back in the coming years. The company's exports have increased from Rs. 20 Crores to Rs. 33.5 Crores in the current year - an increase of around 60% compared to the previous year. European and United States of America are the major consumers of FIBC in the world. They were also major manufacturers in the world, but due to high cost of man-power, European countries had slowly moved towards Eastern Europe and US towards Mexico to sustain their costs, even there the cost have gone up, due to which there has been a continuing shift to South Asian Countries. Global demand is seeing a rapid growth and the upward trend is likely to continue for a years to come. FIBC manufacturing companies in the South Asian Countries are emerging as major players exporting to the global markets, since FIBC is a highly labour intensive product. These trends augur well for the growth in the FIBC industry.

WEAKNESSES AND THREATS

Fluctuating prices of raw materials – The main raw material used in the manufacture of FIBC is polypropylene, which is a crude derivative, and subject to price fuctuations.

Under utilization of available capacity- Your Company is having huge order book, it is however not able to utilize the capacity to the fullest due to lack of power and shortage in man power.

Labour shortage - FIBC manufacturing is a labour-intensive activity.

Non-availability of power – Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu are reeling under severe power cuts. Power cuts last for three hours daily during the peak hours.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:

The interest and financial charges have gone up by Rs. 1.2 crores, partially due to increase in rate of interest and partially due to reduction in TUF benefits for the year 2010-11. The bank charges have gone up substantially from Rs. 49.79 lakhs to Rs. 86.01 lakhs, primarily due to bank guarantee and sanction fee for IOCL business.

The performance for the financial year 2010-11 was adversely affected largely due to

1. Power situation in Tamil Nadu.

2. Shortage of labour

3. High and volatile raw material prices

Company has been purchasing power from private parties at rates higher than the grid power. Though this is cheaper than diesel cost it is still hurting company's bottom line. The labour shortage is a problem across the country and company is initiating several HR measures to retain and attract people. The company is trying to hedge the raw material costs to the extent possible but sudden fuctuation in prices makes it diffcult to pass on the entire increase to customers.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY:

Your company believes in continuous improvement and constantly strives to optimize the control and monitoring systems. The Control and Monitoring Systems in place ensure that all assets are safeguarded and protected against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and all transactions are authorized, recorded and reported correctly. Periodic review of the Control Systems by the Internal auditors M/s. A.Raghunathan & Co., Chartered Accountants, Chennai ensures their adequacy and effectiveness. All short comings identifed by the internal audit team are placed before the Audit Committee and the Board and prompt corrective action is taken.

MATERIAL DEVELOPMENTS IN HUMAN RESOURCES/INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS FRONT:

Relations between the Management and the Labor were cordial, throughout the year under review.

FIXED DEPOSITS:

The total amount of Fixed Deposits from the Public and Shareholders of the Company as at 31st March 2011 was Rs.61,10,000/-. There was no default in repayment of deposits or interest thereon on the due dates and there was no overdue/unclaimed deposit at the end of the year.

DIRECTORS:

Sri G.Radhakrishna and Dr. Gaddam Kumar Reddy, Directors of the Company retire by rotation at the ensuing Annual General Meeting and being eligible, offer themselves for re-appointment.

Sri. G.Sudhakar, Vice Chairman and Chief Mentor tenure as a chief mentor for three years came to an end during the year on April 01, 2011. The Board in its meeting held on 30.03.2011 approved the appointment of Sri. G.Sudhakar as a vice chairman and chief mentor for a monthly retainer fee of Rs.45,000 or such amount as may be amended by the Board within its powers without going to the Central Government for approval. The Board approved his appointment and places this decision before the Shareholders for their consent.

SUBSIDIARY

The Company had informed in its previous year that it was a strategic investor in Jumbo Bag LLC and that it was looking for a joint venture partner. It was also informed earlier that a clear status of the actual structure of the holding of Jumbo Bag LLC would be decided in the year 2010-11 after investment made by a joint venture partner. M/s. Balaji Trading Enterprises Private Limited invested an additional capital of USD 7500 in Jumbo Bag LLC during the year. Jumbo Bag LLC is therefore not a subsidiary of the company and is thus not required to provide consolidated statement of accounts. Balaji Trading Enterprises Private Limited with its rich experience in trading is expected to bring much synergy to the company.
