accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Although we believe that the<br />

We have included statements in the Draft Letter of Offer which contain words or phrases such as “will”, “may”,<br />

variations of such expressions, that are “forward-looking statements”.<br />

All forward looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual<br />

results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. Important factors<br />

that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include but are not limited to:<br />

• General economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate and in the local, regional,<br />

national and international economies;<br />

• Changes in laws and regulations relating to the sectors/areas in which we operate;<br />

• Increased competition in the sectors/areas in which we operate;<br />

Our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy and expansion plans, and to successfully launch and<br />

implement various projects and business plans for which funds are being raised through this Issue;<br />

Neither we, our Directors, the Lead Manager, nor any of their respective affiliates have any obligation to update or<br />

otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of<br />

underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition. In accordance with SEBI<br />

requirements, our Company, the Lead Manager will ensure that investors in India are informed of material<br />

developments until such time as the grant of listing and trading permission by the Stock Exchange for the Equity<br />

Shares being offered on a rights basis.<br />

For a further discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ, see the chapters titled “Risk Factors”<br />

“Business Overview” and “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”<br />

beginning on pages viii, 32 and 139 of the Draft Letter of Offer respectively. By their nature, certain market risk<br />

disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result,<br />

actual future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated.<br />

RISK FACTORS<br />

An investment in Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information in<br />

the Draft Letter of Offer, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in our<br />

Equity Shares. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial<br />

condition could suffer, the price of our Equity Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.<br />

The financial and other implications of material impact of risks concerned, wherever quantifiable, have been<br />

disclosed in the risk factors mentioned below. However there are a few risk factors where the impact is not<br />

quantifiable and hence the same has not been disclosed in such risk factors.<br />

The Draft Letter of Offer also includes statistical and other data regarding the Indian Manufacturing Industry. This<br />

data was obtained from industry publications, reports and other sources that we and the Lead Manager believe to<br />

be reliable. Neither we nor the Lead Manager have independently verified such data.<br />

have a material adverse effect on our business and profitability. We have also paid some penalties in the past<br />

and taxation matters incidental to our business and operations. These legal proceedings are pending at different<br />

liabilities/penalties and may adversely affect our business and results of operations. A classification of these<br />

penalty, if any, leviable for that assessment year.<br />

clients may adversely affect our business<br />

The revenues from our top 10 customers constitute approximately 73% of our total revenue. These customers<br />

procure polyester, polymer and preforms from our Company. Our Company has done business with these<br />

customers for a considerable time period. Any change in the buying pattern of these clients which is adverse to<br />

our Company, including due to deterioration in our quality standards or decline in the level of our commitment,<br />

may have an adverse impact on our client retention ability. The loss of major customers may have a material<br />

adverse affect our financial condition and results of operations. .<br />

4. Our applications for registration/renewal of registration of some of our trademarks and grant of patents are<br />

pending with the relevant authorities<br />

Our Company has applied for the registration/renewal of registration of certain trademarks under the<br />

Trademarks Act, 1999, and for patents both in India and outside India.Our Company cannot assure that it would<br />

be granted the trademarks/patents that it has applied for, or that the grant of the same would not be challenged<br />

by third parties. Any such challenge by third parties, or proceedings by us to protect our intellectual property,<br />

may entail significant time and cost commitments, and our Company cannot assure that it would be successful<br />

in such defence/proceedings, which would entail adverse financial implications. Loss of critical intellectual<br />

property (especially patents) would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and<br />

financial condition.<br />

5. Our business plans may need substantial capital and additional financing in the form of debt and/or equity to<br />

meet our requirements.<br />

Our business requires a substantial amount of working capital. In many cases, working capital is required to<br />

finance the purchase of raw materials. Our working capital requirements may increase if, in certain contracts,<br />

payment terms do not provide for advance payments to us or if payment schedules are less favorable to us. Our<br />

x


Company may need additional financing in the future in the form of debt and/or equity to fulfill our working<br />

capital needs. Continued increases in working capital requirements may have an adverse effect on our financial<br />

condition and results of operations.<br />

6. If our Company is unable to attract and retain key employees, our operations could be adversely affected.<br />

Our business substantially depends on the continued service of our key managerial personnel. The loss of the<br />

services of our key managerial personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. Our future success will<br />

also depend on our ability to attract highly skilled personnel, such as engineering, project management and<br />

senior management professionals. Our Company could experience difficulty from time to time in hiring the<br />

personnel necessary to support our business. If our Company does not succeed in attracting new high quality<br />

employees, our reputation may be adversely impacted and our future earnings may be negatively impacted.<br />

7. Increase in the cost of raw materials, particularly petroleum-based raw materials, have put pressure on our<br />

margins and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.<br />

Production of polyesters fibre, performs and PET requires raw materials which are procured from petroleumbased<br />

products. The cost of raw materials consumed by our Company constituted approximately 53.9% of our<br />

Company’s net sales for FY 2008 and approximately 57.2% of our Company’s net sales for FY 2007. Constant<br />

increase in the price of crude oil in the international market, specially in the last couple of years, has a direct<br />

impact on our cost of manufacturing. Any increase in the cost of the raw materials can adversely impact our<br />

profit margins if our Company is unable to pass on the increased cost on to our customers. Further, even if we<br />

are able to pass on the increase in raw material prices to our customers, this may reduce the demand for our<br />

products. To the extent that our Company uses virgin raw material (vis-à-vis recycled raw material), this<br />

consequent volatility in the price of raw materials may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial<br />

condition and results of operations.<br />

8. The demand for PSF is substantially dependent on the prices of other fibres (primarily cotton), and reduction<br />

in prices of other fibres may adversely affect PSF demand.<br />

One of our key products is PSF, which accounted for 41.42% and 46.69% of our sales in FY 2007 and FY 2008<br />

respectively. PSF is primarily used in the textile industry, and is blended with other fibres (including cotton) in<br />

textile production. The blending percentage in the textile industry depends, in part, upon the prices of the<br />

respective fibres used in the blend. Any fall in the prices of other fibres (primarily cotton), on account of excess<br />

production or otherwise, may lead to reduction of percentage of PSF in the blends, thereby adversely affecting<br />

the demand for PSF, which would have a material adverse effect on our turnover, and consequently on our<br />

business, results of operations and financial condition.<br />

9. The Registered and Corporate Office of our Company is not owned by us<br />

The Registered and Corporate Office of our Company is not owned by us, and has been taken on lease by us,<br />

which is currently valid till January 25, 2009. The rent payable for the occupation of this premises is Rs.<br />

2,22,250 per month. We cannot assure that this lease would be renewed at all, or would be renewed on terms<br />

and conditions (including rent) which would be acceptable to us. In the event of non-renewal, we may have to<br />

shift to another premises, which may lead to higher rent/maintenance outgo, and lead to a temporary disruption<br />

in operations till the shifting is complete. Any increase in rent/expenses in this regard could have a material<br />

adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.<br />

10. Some of our Promoter Group Companies have incurred losses in last three years.<br />

Some of our Promoter Group Companies have incurred losses during last three years, as set forth in the table<br />

For detailed description of our Promoter Group Companies, please see the chapter titled “Our Promoter Group<br />

Entities” beginning on page 77 of the Draft Letter of Offer<br />

11. Our Company places heavy reliance on the import of raw material<br />

Our Company has to rely heavily on the import of raw materials for manufacturing polymer. Timely<br />

procurement of raw material is the most critical aspect of our manufacturing operation and the same is subject,<br />

inter alia, to laws monitoring the import in India as also laws governing exports in the countries/territories from<br />

where the exports originate, soverign and territorial factors, among others. Further, any change in the importexport<br />

policy by the Government of India may have a negative impact on the import of our raw materials.<br />

12. At times our Company has to depend on third party manufacturers for the supply of polymer and disruption<br />

in their operations may have a negative impact on our manufacturing operations.<br />

Our Company has in house provision for the manufacture of polymer, which acts as a raw material for<br />

generating performs. However, there are occasions when in order to execute orders in bulk, our Company has<br />

to procure polymer from other manufacturers. Our Company has relied on these suppliers in times of<br />

exigencies pertaining to the supply of polymer. Any change in the supply pattern of third party suppliers may<br />

have a negative impact on the manufacture of performs, in case of any paucity in the in house manufacture of<br />

polymer.<br />

13. Potential fluctuations in future operating results on account of increase in raw material costs, transportation<br />

costs etc.<br />

The factors for potential fluctuations in future operating results include:<br />

xii


a. Cost of Raw Materials<br />

Purified Terepthalic Acid and Mono Ethylene Glycol are the major raw materials used in the manufacturing<br />

of our products. A major portion of the requirements of the basic raw materials by our Company is<br />

imported. The cost of such materials to our Company depends upon the prices ruling in the international<br />

commodity markets at the time of imports, over which our Company does not have any control. Any<br />

increase in the price of PTA and MEG would directly affect the margins of our Company.<br />

b. Labour Union<br />

Our Company employs a large number of work force at its manufacturing plant. The factory workers are<br />

affiliated to particular Trade Union(s). Any concerted industrial action could always disrupt the production<br />

volume and consequently the sales growth of our Company.<br />

c. Transportation<br />

Timely delivery of products is critical for our performance. Our Company uses third-party transporters for<br />

the supply of raw materials to our factories and for delivery of finished products to our customers. Any<br />

hindrance in the logistics network, serious strike, stoppage of work, etc by the fleet owners could cause an<br />

adverse effect on our receipt of supplies and our ability to deliver our finished products in time, which<br />

could impact our business. Further, high transportation cost and escalation thereof may affect our<br />

profitability.<br />

14. Any delay in timely delivery of our products will adversely impact our relations with the clients.<br />

Typically, business in our industry is subject to specific delivery schedule requirements with liquidated<br />

damages chargeable in the event the schedules are not adhered to. Failure to adhere to contractually agreed<br />

timelines could cause damage to our reputation within our industry and client base, which may lead to<br />

loss/reduction of business from exising clients and not being able to procure new clients, and cause us to pay<br />

liquidated damages.<br />

15. Our results of operations could be adversely affected by disputes with our employees<br />

As of March 31, 2008, our Company has employed 827 full-time employees. While our Company believes that<br />

itgenerally maintains satisfactory relationships with its employees and labour, there can be no assurance that<br />

itwill not experience future disruptions in its operations due to disputes or other problems with its work force.<br />

Further, any upward revision of wages required by the government to be paid to labourers, or offer of<br />

permanent employment or the unavailability of the required number of contract labourers, may adversely affect<br />

our business and results of our operations.<br />

16. Non renewal of the statutory and regulatory permissions and approvals required to operate our business<br />

may have a material adverse effect on our business.<br />

Being in the manufacturing business, our Company requires several statutory and regulatory permits, licenses<br />

and approvals to operate the business. Many of these approvals are granted for fixed periods of time and need<br />

renewal from time to time. Our Company is required to renew such permits, licenses and approvals. There can<br />

be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue any of such permits or approvals in time or at all. Further,<br />

these permits, licenses and approvals are subject to several conditions, and our Company cannot assure that it<br />

shall be able to continuously meet such conditions or be able to prove compliance with such conditions to<br />

statutory authorities, and this may lead to cancellation, revocation or suspension of relevant permits/ licenses/<br />

approvals. Failure by our Company to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits, licenses or approvals, or<br />

cancellation, suspension or revocation of any of the permits, licenses or approvals may result in the interruption<br />

of our Company’s operations and may have a material adverse effect on the business. For details please refer to<br />

chapter titled “Government/Statutory Approvals” beginning on page 200 of the Draft Letter of Offer.<br />

17. Our existing manufacturing unit is located in Manali, Chennai. Any unrest or natural calamity in this unit<br />

can break down our operations which will adversely affect our operations.<br />

Our manufacturing unit at Manali, Chennai and our business operations are vulnerable to damage or<br />

interruptions in operations due to adverse weather conditions, earthquakes, tsunami, fires, explosions, power<br />

loss, viruses, transmission cable cuts or similar events. Any failure of our systems or any shutdown of any part<br />

of our manufacturing units, networks, operations because of operational disruption, natural disaster such as<br />

flood or earthquake, or otherwise, could disrupt our services and result in significant costs.<br />

xiii


Further, there can be no assurance that business continuity plans our Company has developed to cover material<br />

breakdowns or damage to its manufacturing units, network or critical operating equipment will be sufficient to<br />

maintain its operations in adverse circumstances.<br />

18. Our Company has high capital expenditure requirements.<br />

The cost of fixed assets/equipment in our business, including replacement cost, is very high. Our Company<br />

may need additional financing in the future in the form of debt and/or capital to fulfill its capital expenditure<br />

needs. Our Company cannot assure that such financing would be available, or available at terms acceptable to<br />

us, and consequently our capital expenditure plans may be adversely affected. Further, the cost of servicing<br />

debt/capital may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.<br />

19. Our funding requirements and deployment of the proceeds of the Issue are based on management estimates<br />

and have not been verified independently.<br />

Our funding requirements and the deployment of the proceeds of the Issue are based on management estimates<br />

and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. Further, such estimates are based on market<br />

conditions and management expectations as of the date they were made. In view of the highly competitive<br />

nature of the industry in which our Company operates, we may have to revise our management estimates from<br />

time to time and consequently our funding requirements may also change. We may need to borrow further/raise<br />

further capital to meet our working capital requirements for the FY 2008-2009, meeting which is the primary<br />

object of this Issue, and the cost of servicing debt/capital may have a material adverse effect on our results of<br />

operations and financial condition.<br />

20. The Issue proceeds shall be utilized for the purposes of funding working capital requirements and general<br />

corporate purpose. Hence would not result in the creation of tangible fixed assets.<br />

The Issue proceeds shall be primarily and significantly utilized for the funding working capital requirements<br />

and general corporate purposes. Our business demands heavy expenditure on raw material and this leads to an<br />

increased manufacturing cost. The money raised through present Rights Issue will be used to generate this<br />

working capital, and thus is not expected to result in creation/acquisition of tangible fixed assets. For details,<br />

please refer to the chapter titled on “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 21 of the Draft Letter of Offer.<br />

21. Our Company may not have adequate insurance to cover all probable risks in its business operations. Loss<br />

on account of uninsured risks may affect the results of our operations.<br />

We believe that we maintain insurance in accordance with customary industrial practices. However, the amount<br />

of our insurance coverage may be less than replacement cost of all covered property and may not be sufficient<br />

to cover all financial losses that we may suffer should a risk materializes. Further, there are many events that<br />

could cause significant damages to our operations or expose us to third party liabilities, whether or not known to<br />

us, for which we may not be adequately insured. Further, all our insurance policies have exclusion clauses and<br />

do not cover us for certain risks and in certain circumstances. If we were to incur a significant liability for<br />

which we were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and<br />

financial condition.<br />

22. Compliance with and changes in safety, health, and environmental laws and regulations may adversely<br />

affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of our operations<br />

Our Company is subject to safety and health laws and regulations such as the Environment (Protection) Act,<br />

1986, the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution)<br />

Act, 1981, Hazardous Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules, 1989, the Indian Explosives Act, Fire Service<br />

Laws and the Indian Boilers Act, 1923. These laws and regulations impose controls on our Company’s safety<br />

standards, and other aspects of its operations. Our Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur,<br />

operating costs to comply with such laws and regulations. In addition, our Company has made and expects to<br />

continue to make capital expenditures on an on-going basis to comply with the safety and health laws and<br />

regulations. Our Company may be liable to the Government of India or the State Governments or Union<br />

Territories with respect to its failures to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Further, the adoption of<br />

new safety and health laws and regulations, new interpretations of existing laws, increased governmental<br />

enforcement of laws or other developments in the future may require that our Company make additional capital<br />

xiv


expenditures or incur additional operating expenses in order to maintain its current operations or take other<br />

actions that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.<br />

Safety, health and environmental laws and regulations in India, in particular, have been increasing in stringency<br />

and it is possible that they will become significantly more stringent in the future. The costs of complying with<br />

these requirements could be significant.<br />

23. Our Promoter and Promoter Group holding is low.<br />

Upon completion of the Issue, the Promoters and Promoter Group Entities may beneficially own at least 38.89%<br />

of our post-Issue Equity Sharecapital. Since our Promoters and Promoter Group own less than 50% of the paid<br />

up share capital of our Company, they may not be able to continue exercising significant control over our<br />

Company, including being able to control the composition of our Company’s Board of Directors, determine<br />

decisions requiring majority voting, and may be unable to affect the outcome of certain shareholder resolutions,<br />

even though the same may be in the best interests of our Company. Further, our Company is vulnerable to<br />

hostile takeovers, and we cannot assure that any potential acquirer would act in the best interests of our<br />

Company or its shareholders.<br />

24. We have entered into and shall continue to enter into Related Party Transactions<br />

Our business model involves entering into certain related party transactions. We have entered into certain<br />

related party transactions with our Promoters, Directors and Promoter group entities. For further details, refer to<br />

the chapter titled “Financial Statements” beginning on page 112 of the Draft Letter of Offer<br />

25. Any loss of or breakdown of machinery at our manufacturing facility at Manali, Chennai may have an<br />

adverse affect on business, financial condition and results of operations<br />

Our Company’s manufacturing facility at Manali, Chennai is subject to operating risks, such as the breakdown<br />

or failure of equipment, power supply or processes, performance below expected levels of output or efficiency,<br />

obsolescence, labour disputes, industrial accidents and the need to comply with the directives of relevant<br />

government authorities. The occurrence of any of these risks could significantly affect its operating results. Our<br />

business and operations may be adversely affected by any disruption of operations at our manufacturing facility.<br />

26. Product innovation and research and development activities are an integral part of our business model. If<br />

our research and product development efforts are not successful, our business may be restricted.<br />

Growth of our future operations depends upon our ability to successfully carry out research and development of<br />

new processes and produce new and higher quality products from a variety of raw materials. These processes<br />

must meet quality standards where applicable and may sometimes require regulatory approvals. The<br />

development and commercialization process would require spending of both time and money. Our ongoing<br />

investments in research and development for future products and processes may result in higher costs without a<br />

proportionate increase in revenues. Any failure or delay in timely development and commercialization of new<br />

products or our inability to obtain patents or other legal protection may have a material adverse effect on our<br />

business, results of operations and financial condition.<br />

27. Our operations involve handling hazardous material that could expose us to the risk of liabilities, lost<br />

revenues and increased expenses.<br />

Our operations are subject to various hazards associated with the production of chemical products, such as the<br />

use, handling, processing, storage and transportation of hazardous/explosive materials such as, as well as<br />

accidents such as leakage or spillages of chemicals. Any mishandling of hazardous chemical and poisonous<br />

substances could also lead to fatal accidents. In order to prevent such mishandling we have established various<br />

measures including training of workers, prominent display of safety measures and precaution measures in<br />

production areas. In addition, our employees operate heavy machinery at our manufacturing facilities and<br />

accidents may occur while operating such machinery. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life,<br />

severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, environmental damage and may result in the<br />

suspension of operations and the imposition of civil and criminal liabilities. As a result of past or future<br />

operations, there may be claims of injury by employees or members of the public due to exposure, or alleged<br />

exposure, to the hazardous materials involved in our business. In addition, we may be subject to claims of injury<br />

from indirect exposure to hazardous materials that are incorporated into our products. Liabilities incurred as a<br />

result of these events have the potential to adversely impact our financial position. Events like these could also<br />

xv


adversely affect our perception with suppliers, customers, regulators, employees and the public, which could in<br />

turn affect our financial condition and business performance. While we maintain general insurance against these<br />

liabilities, the insurance proceeds may not be adequate to fully cover the substantial liabilities, lost revenues or<br />

increased expenses that we might incur.<br />

28. As per the loan agreements entered into by us with our lenders, there are certain restrictions on us, which<br />

may hamper our future business growth and business policies.<br />

We have entered into agreements for availing financial facilities from various lenders. Certain covenants in<br />

these agreements require us to obtain approval/ permission from our lenders. These covenants include, amongst<br />

others, implementation of any scheme of expansion / diversification / renovation / capital expenditure,<br />

formulation of any scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction, undertaking of guarantee obligation, any change<br />

in our capital structure, among others. We cannot assure that these approvals would be forthcoming when we<br />

apply for the same.<br />

Accordingly, we are required to obtain prior consent from our lenders for the Issue. We are yet to obtain the<br />

consent of <strong>IDBI</strong> Bank Limited, one of our lenders, for this Issue, for which we have applied.<br />

For further details in this regard, please refer chapter titled “Financial Indebtedness” beginning on page 46 of<br />

the Draft Letter of Offer<br />

29. Our agreements with certain commission agents have certain exclusivity clauses<br />

Our agreements with certain of our commission agents bind us with exclusivity clauses. These exclusivity<br />

clauses pertain to, among others(varying from agreement to agreement) the geographical coverage of markets,<br />

products to be sold in certain markets or products sold to certain customers. We cannot assure that we would<br />

continue to be compliance with the exclusivity terms in these agreements, and any breach of the same may<br />

expose us to risk of termination of contract and legal proceedings. These exclusivity terms may adversely affect<br />

our ability to expand our business in the areas/products covered by the relevant agreement, which may have a<br />

consequent adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.<br />

30. Agreements entered into by our Company with the commission agents are not stamped. Further, agreements<br />

with commission agents outside India are enforceable outside India.<br />

Agency agreements entered into by us with our commission agents have not been stamped. The effect of nonstamping<br />

is that the document is not admissible as evidence in legal proceedings, and parties to that agreement<br />

may not be able to legally enforce to same, except after paying a penalty for inadequate stamping.<br />

Further, our agreements with commission agents outside India provide for venue for arbitration and/or<br />

jurisdiction in Courts outside India, including in the United Kingdom. The legal and other costs that we may<br />

incur in initiating and/or defending any actions arising out of such contracts could be significantly higher<br />

outside India than in India. Further, we may not always be able to enforce/execute judgments obtained in<br />

foreign courts/tribunals against the counterparties.<br />

31. Our Company has not achieved the projections as promised in our earlier rights issues<br />

Our Company has made rights issues in the years 1988, 1993 and 2004, in which respect, certain<br />

projections/promises made in the rights issue offer document in 1993 were not fulfilled. For futher details, refer<br />

to paragraph titled “Details of Public / Rights Issues” beginning on 213 of the Draft Letter of Offer.<br />

External Risk Factors:<br />

1. A slowdown in economic growth in India could cause our business to suffer.<br />

Our performance and growth are dependent on the health of the Indian economy. The economy could be<br />

adversely affected by various factors such as political or regulatory action, including adverse changes in<br />

liberalization policies, social disturbances, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, natural calamities,<br />

interest rates, commodity and energy prices and various other factors. Any slowdown in the Indian economy<br />

may adversely impact our business and financial performance and the price of our Equity Shares.<br />

xvi


2. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an independent agency may harm our ability to raise financing.<br />

Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating<br />

agencies may adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other<br />

commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could have a material adverse effect on<br />

our capital expenditure plans, business and financial performance and the price of our Equity Shares.<br />

3. Force Majeure events, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war involving India or other countries<br />

could adversely affect the financial markets, result in a loss of investor confidence and adversely affect our<br />

business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.<br />

Certain events are beyond our control, such as force majeure events, terrorist attacks, and other acts of violence<br />

or war, civil unrest and military activity. Any such event could happen at or otherwise affect one or more of our<br />

businesses, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover,<br />

these and other similar events may adversely affect worldwide financial markets and could lead to global<br />

economic recession. Such events may also result in a loss of business confidence or have other consequences<br />

that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The occurrence of any of<br />

the foregoing could therefore adversely affect our financial performance or the market price of the Equity<br />

Shares.<br />

4. An outbreak of an infectious disease or any other serious public health concerns in Asia or elsewhere could<br />

have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.<br />

The outbreak of an infectious disease in Asia or elsewhere or any other serious public health concerns could<br />

have a negative impact on the economies, financial markets and business activities in the countries in which our<br />

end markets are located, which could have an adverse effect on our business.<br />

5. We are subject to regulatory, economic and political uncertainties in India.<br />

In the early 1990s, India experienced significant inflation, low growth in gross domestic product and shortages<br />

of foreign currency reserves. The Indian government provided significant tax incentives and relaxed certain<br />

regulatory restrictions in order to encourage foreign investment in specified industries of the economy. There is<br />

no assurance that liberalization policies will continue. Furthermore, the rate of economic liberalization could<br />

change, and specific laws and policies affecting technology companies, foreign investment, currency exchange<br />

rates and other matters affecting investment in our Equity Shares could also change. Since 1996, the<br />

Government of India has changed six times and the current Indian government is a coalition of many parties,<br />

some of which may differ from India’s current economic policies. Various factors, including a collapse of the<br />

present coalition government due to the withdrawal of support of coalition members, could trigger significant<br />

changes in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies, disrupt business and economic conditions<br />

in India generally and our business in particular. Our financial performance and the market price of our shares<br />

may be adversely affected by changes in inflation, exchange rates and controls, interest rates, government of<br />

India policies, social stability or other political, economic or diplomatic developments affecting India in the<br />

future.<br />

6. We are subject to risks arising from exchange rate fluctuations.<br />

The exchange rate between the Rupee and other currencies is variable and may continue to fluctuate in the<br />

future. Fluctuations in the exchange rates may affect us to the extent of such orders being placed overseas. We<br />

may place orders with overseas contractors and manufacturers. Such fluctuation may affect us to the extent of<br />

increasing the cost of import of goods and services.<br />

7. Regional conflicts in South Asia could adversely affect the Indian economy, disrupt our Company's<br />

operations and cause its business to suffer.<br />

South Asia has, from time to time, experienced instances of civil unrest and hostilities among neighbouring<br />

countries. In recent years there have been military confrontations along the India-Pakistan border. Military<br />

activity or terrorist attacks could adversely affect the Indian economy. This could have a material adverse effect<br />

on the market for securities of Indian companies including the Equity Shares of our Company.<br />

xvii


Risks Relating to the Issue of Securities:<br />

1. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a<br />

shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity Shares at a particular point in time.<br />

We are subject to a daily “circuit breaker” imposed by all stock exchanges in India, which does not allow<br />

transactions beyond specified increases or decreases in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker<br />

operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on Indian<br />

stock exchanges. The maximum movement allowed in the price of the Equity Shares before the circuit breaker<br />

is triggered is determined by the Stock Exchange based on the historical volatility in the price and trading<br />

volume of the Equity Shares. The Stock Exchange does not inform us of the triggering point of the circuit<br />

breaker in effect from time to time, and may change it without our knowledge. This circuit breaker limits the<br />

upward and downward movements in the price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, no<br />

assurance may be given regarding your ability to sell your Equity Shares or the price at which you may be able<br />

to sell your Equity Shares at any particular time.<br />

2. Our stock price may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the Issue price or at<br />

all.<br />

The market price of our Equity Shares after this Issue will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to,<br />

among other factors:<br />

1 Variations in our operating results and the performance of our business;<br />

2 Adverse media reports about us;<br />

3 Regulatory developments in our target markets affecting us, our clients or our competitors;<br />

4 Market conditions and perception specific to the polyester and perform industry<br />

5 Changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;<br />

6 Loss of one or more significant clients;<br />

7 The performance of the Indian and global economy;<br />

8 Significant developments in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies and the fiscal regime; and<br />

9 Volatility in the Indian and global securities markets.<br />

Many of these factors are beyond our control. There has been recent volatility in the Indian stock markets and<br />

our share price could fluctuate significantly as a result of such volatility in the future.<br />

3. Any future issuance of Equity Shares by us or the issue of stock options under an employee stock option plan<br />

may dilute the investor’s shareholding or adversely affect trading price of the Equity Shares.<br />

Any future issuance of Equity Shares by us or the issue of stock options under an employee stock option plan<br />

where ourCompany issues further Equity Shares could dilute the investor’s shareholding. Additionally, sales of<br />

our Equity Shares by our Promoters or significant shareholders could also have an adverse affect on the trading<br />

price of the Equity Shares. Such events could also impact our ability to raise capital through an offering of our<br />

securities. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the<br />

trading price of the Equity Shares.<br />

Industry Overview:<br />

Petrochemicals are derived from various chemical compounds, mainly from hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons<br />

are derived from crude oil and natural gas. Among the various fractions produced by distillation of crude oil,<br />

petroleum gases, naphtha, kerosene and gas oil are the main feed stocks for petrochemical industry. Ethane,<br />

propane and natural gas liquids obtained from natural gas are the other important feedstock used in the<br />

Petrochemicals industry. Petrochemical industry plays a vital role in economic growth and development of<br />

manufacturing sector. The value addition in the petrochemicals industry is higher than most of the other industry<br />

sectors.<br />

The Petrochemical industry, which entered in the Indian industrial scene in 1970s, registered a rapid growth in<br />

the 1980s and 1990s. Petrochemical industry mainly comprise of synthetic fibre / yarn, polymers, Synthetic<br />

Rubber, Synthetic detergent intermediates, performance plastics and plastic processing industry.<br />

Today, petrochemical products permeate the entire spectrum of daily use items and cover almost every sphere of<br />

life like clothing, housing, construction, furniture, automobiles, household items, agriculture, horticulture,<br />

irrigation, packaging, medical appliances, electronics and electrical etc.<br />

India Scenario<br />

Consumption of PE, PP and PVC (three major polymers) in India reached 4.6 million tonnes registering a y-o-y<br />

growth of 10% during FY 2006-07. PP and LLDPE registered a healthy growth of 15%. LDPE consumption<br />

grew at 8% whereas HDPE grew at 9% and PVC witnessed a modest growth of 7%. The demand for PVC in<br />

India experienced a 7% y-o-y growth.<br />

Polyester fibers are the most widely used synthetic fibers in the world today. Polyester fibers, however, have<br />

poor elasticity and stretch recovery, do not absorb moisture, are comparatively difficult to dye, and generate<br />

static electricity under dry conditions. However, many of the deficiencies of polyester filament yarn and staple<br />

fibre can be reduced or overcome by fiber modification and/or by blending with cotton or other fibers. Hightenacity<br />

polyester filament yarn and staple fibre have a higher tensile strength and a lower elongation before<br />

break than conventional polyester fiber. High-tenacity polyester fibers are used for both industrial and textile<br />

applications for which high strength and low crimp are important.<br />

PET<br />

PET is eco-friendly and inert which has established itself as the polymer of the future in most packaging<br />

applications, especially in food and beverage packaging. It is widely used in packaging of soft drinks, water,<br />

edible oil, food products, juices, dairy beverages, pharmaceuticals, toiletries etc.<br />

The overall worldwide demand of PET resin continues to grow with the increasing demand of plastic and PET<br />

packaging. The total world demand for PET resin is estimated to be 14.6 million tons in 2010 as compared to<br />

10.0 million tons in 2005-06. In India also the market for PET Resin is growing steadily. The demand of PET<br />

resin is also influenced by seasonal factors and the growth pattern of the food processing and FMCG sectors.<br />

For further information please refer to section tltled“About Us” beginning on page 28 of theDraft Letter of<br />

Offer.<br />

Business Overview:<br />

Our Company was incorporated as a public limited company in Maharashtra under the name Indian Organic<br />

Chemicals Limited in February 1960 and commenced business on April 22, 1960. We commenced<br />

manufacturing operations at our plant at Khopoli, Maharashtra, for production of alcohol-based chemicals like<br />

Acetic Acid, Acetic Anhydride, Acetaldehyde and Ethyl Acetate, Benzyl products, Plasticizers and Glyoxal.<br />

In 1972, we set up a plant at Manali, Chennai, for manufacture of Polyester Fibres with an installed capacity of<br />

6,100 MT per annum. By 1986, the capacity was expanded to 38,500 MT per annum. Subsequently, a 9,175 MT<br />

of Polyester Filament Yarn (POY) plant was also set up. The POY business was discontinued after 1995 due to<br />

its uneconomic size and the plant had since been disposed off.<br />

With the launching of petro-based chemicals in 1990s and liberalization of molasses usage for potable alcohol,<br />

our industrial alcohol-based facility at Khopoli lost its competitive edge. The chemicals business had to be<br />

phased out gradually over a period of time. We however, succeeded in adapting and using our facilities at<br />

Khopoli to undertake knowledge based activities like custom synthesis, contract manufacture and contract R&D.<br />

In India skilled manpower like scientists, chemists and engineers are easily available at competitive rates. As the<br />

new activity is “knowledge based” requiring a different focus, our Company decided to transfer the Chemicals<br />

division at Khopoli to another entity called Innovassynth Technologies (India) Limited.<br />

With the separation of chemical business of our Company as above, our Polyester business at Chennai started<br />

focusing on Speciality Fibres, Speciality Polymers and Preforms. In order that the name of our Company<br />

correctly reflects the core business in which it is engaged in, our Company changed its name to “Futura<br />

Polyesters Limited” which became effective from November 05, 2002. (“Futura” is the registered trade mark of<br />

our Company under which it markets its products.) For details regarding plant location, utilisation of installed<br />

capacity and other related matters please refer to chapter titled “Business Overview” beginning on page [] of<br />

the Draft Letter of Offer.<br />

During the year 1993, our Company commenced production of PET Resin and Preforms at Manali, Chennai,<br />

under the name Futura Polymers Limited, as a joint venture with PepsiCo, USA, through its investment arm<br />

Transmere Inc., Mauritius. Subsequently during the year 1998, PepsiCo Inc. quit the joint venture. During the<br />

year 2002, Futura Polymers Limited was amalgamated with our Company.<br />

Our Company has one manufacturing facility at Chennai, currently consisting of three major activities, namely,<br />

Polyester Staple Fibres/Chips, PET Resins and PET Preforms. The installed capacities of these as on March 31,<br />

2008 are as under:<br />

Product<br />

Installed Capacity in MT per<br />

annum<br />

Polyester Staple Fibre / Chips 38,500<br />

Solid State Polymers 57,000<br />

PET Preforms 20,000<br />

We had established a subsidiary called Futura Industries Limited (FIL) to carry out Development on PET<br />

recycling and commercialise the technology for recycling of Polyester fibre waste and PET bottle scrap into<br />

polyester feed stock. Initially, the factory was located at Tiruvellore, near Chennai. FIL was carrying out the<br />

operations on job work basis for our Company for some time and the facilities were shifted, during 1997from<br />

2


Tiruvellore to the main factory located at Manali, Chennai. In the year 2001, FIL was amalgamated with our<br />

Company. Presently, the PET recycling activity is being carried out at our factory at Manali, Chennai.<br />

Business Strategy<br />

Our strategy is to consolidate and enhance our market position as a producer of Specialty Fibres, Speciality<br />

Polymers and Speciality Preforms. We aim to achieve our strategic objective by implementing the following<br />

strategies:<br />

1 Continuous research and development in new speciality products to maintain a diverse product mix<br />

2 Increase in revenues by utilising our established business relationships<br />

3 Focus on speciality products realizing better margins<br />

4 Strengthening our competitive edge by patenting newly developed products<br />

5 Positioning ourselves amongst the top global brands by manufacturing diverse range of polyesters like PBT,<br />

PTT, PBN, PTN, PEN etc.<br />

We have been continuously developing new products to meet customised needs of our customers. With more<br />

than three decades of experience in Polyesters supported by our established business relationships with our<br />

customers, we believe that we are well placed to secure a significant share of Specialty Resin markets on the<br />

strength of our customised product development.<br />

demat form.<br />

Our Promoters have confirmed that each of them intend to subscribe to the full extent of their entitlement in the<br />

Issue. Our Promoters reserve their right to subscribe to their entitlement in the Rights Issue either by themselves,<br />

their relatives or through one or more Promoter Group Entities, including by subscribing for renunciation, if<br />

any, made by any of the Promoters to any other Promoter and/ or an affiliate thereof. Our Promoters may apply<br />

for additional Equity Shares in the Issue. As a result of this subscription and consequent allotment as stated<br />

above, the Promoters (and others as mentioned above) may acquire shares over and above their entitlement in<br />

the Issue, which may result in an increase of the shareholding being above the current shareholding with the<br />

entitlement of Equity Shares under the Issue.<br />

This subscription and acquisition of additional Equity Shares by the Promoter(s) (and others as mentioned<br />

above), if any, will not result in change of control of the management of our Company and shall be exempt in<br />

terms of the proviso to Regulation 3(1)(b)(ii) of the Takeover Code. As such, other than meeting the<br />

requirements indicated in the section on “Objects of the Issue” of the Draft Letter of Offer, there is no other<br />

intention/ purpose for this Issue, including any intention to delist our Company, even if, as a result of allotments<br />

to our Promoters (and others as mentioned above) in this Issue, the Promoters’ and Promoter group shareholding<br />

in our Company exceeds their current shareholding.<br />

Our Promoters have provided the following undertaking, in terms of the SEBI (Delisting of Securities)<br />

Guidelines, 2003:<br />

“We undertake that, in case the Rights Issue of Futura Polyesters Limited is undersubscribed as on the Issue<br />

Closing Date, we shall individually, or jointly with or through our relative(s) or Promoter Group entity /<br />

entities, subscribe over and above our entitlement in this Rights Issue to the undersubscribed portion of this<br />

Rights Issue to the extent that minimum subscription of 90% of the Issue size is achieved, to ensure that the<br />

Issue is successful, in compliance with the Listing Agreement and other applicable laws prevailing at that time<br />

relating to continuous listing requirements.”<br />

“We hereby undertake that, in case the Rights Issue of Futura Polyesters Limited is completed with the<br />

Promoters subscribing (either by ourselves or through one or more persons / entities mentioned above) to Equity<br />

Shares over and above their entitlement in order to meet the subscription to the extent of minimum subscription<br />

i.e 90% of the Issue size as stated hereinabove and as a result, if the public shareholding falls below the<br />

permissible minimum level as specified in the listing conditions or listing agreement, we shall, individually or<br />

jointly with our relative(s) or promoter group entity/ entities who or which may have acquired shares in the<br />

Company including pursuant to any renunciation of the whole or part of our entitlement by any Promoter(s),<br />

make an offer for sale of our holding (including that of person/ entity refer to above), so that the public<br />

shareholding is raised to the “permissible minimum level” within a period of three months from the date of<br />

allotment in the proposed Issue, as per the requirements of Clause 17.1 and 17.2 of SEBI (Delisting of<br />

Securities) Guidelines, 2003 or as per any amendment thereto or any other period as may be directed by SEBI or<br />

As our Company’s Plant and Machinery were installed over a period of time during the life of our Company<br />

since its formation, the management decided to revalue the same so as to reflect the appropriate value in the<br />

books of accounts. Accordingly, our Company appointed a Government certified Valuer, namely, M/s<br />

Kanti Karamsey & Co. to revalue the Plant and Machinery at both locations, namely Chennai and Khopoli.<br />

The revaluation was carried out on November 30, 2003, with the intention to assess the intrinsic value of<br />

the plant and machinery. The net increase in the net book value arising out of revaluation has been credited<br />

to Revaluation Reserve Account.<br />

Details of the Revaluation of Assets are here as under:<br />

4 Net Revaluation was computed to be Rs. 4145.12 lacs<br />

Total Replacement Cost as on November 30, 2003 was assessed to be Rs. 2199. 73 lacs and the Fair Market<br />

Value then was estimated to be Rs. 1336.62 lacs<br />

b) Year 2007- 2008:<br />

During the year 2007-2008 our Company appointed M/s. Kanti Karamsey & Co. for the purpose of<br />

revaluation of part of the land. The same was performed on February 16, 2008. The net increase in the net<br />

book value arising out of revaluation has been credited to the Revaluation Reserve Account. Revaluation is<br />

based on the Valuation Report of M/s. Kanti Karamsey & Co. dated February 18, 2008.<br />

Details of the Revaluation of part of the land<br />

1 Gross Book Value was computed to be Rs. 5.28 lacs<br />

2 Accumulated Depreciation was computed to be Nil<br />

SECTION IV – ABOUT US<br />

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW<br />

Petrochemicals are derived from various chemical compounds, mainly from hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons<br />

are derived from crude oil and natural gas. Among the various fractions produced by distillation of crude oil,<br />

petroleum gases, naphtha, kerosene and gas oil are the main feed stocks for petrochemical industry. Ethane,<br />

propane and natural gas liquids obtained from natural gas are the other important feedstock used in the<br />

Petrochemicals industry. Petrochemical industry plays a vital role in economic growth and development of<br />

manufacturing sector. The value addition in the petrochemicals industry is higher than most of the other industry<br />

sectors.<br />

The Petrochemical industry, which entered in the Indian industrial scene in 1970s, registered a rapid growth in<br />

the 1980s and 1990s. Petrochemical industry mainly comprise of synthetic fibre / yarn, polymers, Synthetic<br />

Rubber, Synthetic detergent intermediates, performance plastics and plastic processing industry.<br />

Today, petrochemical products permeate the entire spectrum of daily use items and cover almost every sphere of<br />

life like clothing, housing, construction, furniture, automobiles, household items, agriculture, horticulture,<br />

irrigation, packaging, medical appliances, electronics and electrical etc.<br />

Global Scenario<br />

The world is witnessing a gradual shift in the production and demand for petrochemicals from West to East.<br />

Availability of abundant cheap raw material in Middle East and emergence of Asia as the major consumption<br />

centre had witnessed an enhanced investment flow to these regions. India and China are expected to be the<br />

major growth centres in the course of next two decades.<br />

The global ethylene capacity in 2006 increased at 4.4% whereas the demand grew by a healthy 5.6%. During<br />

2006, five new crackers were brought on stream with one each in Brazil and the Middle East and three in China.<br />

In addition, six crackers have undergone major de-bottlenecking / expansions.<br />

A strong global economy supported by robust growth in two of the largest economies, China and India will also<br />

help to swiftly absorb the additional products coming out of these new capacities in the Middle East and Asia.<br />

IMF predicts the global GDP to maintain a healthy growth of 5.1% during 2007 as well as through 2008. A<br />

major impetus to this growth will come from the Asian region with China and India being the main contributors.<br />

This will support a healthy demand growth for petrochemical products.<br />

Global Polymer Market<br />

Globally demand for all polymers reached 175 million tonnes of which PE, PP and PVC accounted for 142<br />

million tonnes showing a healthy growth of 5.9%. The growth was mainly driven by LLDPE (7%), HDPE<br />

(6.1%) and PP(6.4%). Asia, Africa and other developing regions had been the primary contributors to this<br />

growth. The global production capacity of PE, PP and PVC touched 162 million tonnes with growth of 5.2%.<br />

Globally, 8 million tonnes of capacity was added during 2006 of which 6 million tonnes was Polyolefins and 2<br />

million tonnes of PVC. The major capacity additions were in China and in the Middle East.<br />

Global Polyester Market<br />

The year 2006-07 was a challenging one for the polyester industry. Rising crude oil prices impacted an increase<br />

in the cost of raw materials while a bumper cotton crop accompanied by subsidised cotton prices exerted<br />

pressure on polyester margins. Stand-alone polyester producers across the world were affected substantially<br />

during the year. The demand in Asia is estimated to grow by 2.4 million tonnes or by 6% in 2007 and 2008<br />

while capacity will increase by only 1.7 million tonnes. The ability of polyester producers across Asia to<br />

successfully pass through higher costs in 2006 gives an early indication of the emerging strength of the sector.<br />

The slow-down in the new polyester capacity expansions accompanied by increase in the demand is expected to<br />

improve the capacity utilisation in polyester operations. The industry is at an early stage of a multi-year upcycle.<br />

29


India Scenario<br />

Consumption of PE, PP and PVC (three major polymers) in India reached 4.6 million tonnes registering a y-o-y<br />

growth of 10% during FY 2006-07. PP and LLDPE registered a healthy growth of 15%. LDPE consumption<br />

grew at 8% whereas HDPE grew at 9% and PVC witnessed a modest growth of 7%. The demand for PVC in<br />

India experienced a 7% y-o-y growth.<br />

Polyester fibers are the most widely used synthetic fibers in the world today. Polyester fibers, however, have<br />

poor elasticity and stretch recovery, do not absorb moisture, are comparatively difficult to dye, and generate<br />

static electricity under dry conditions. However, many of the deficiencies of polyester filament yarn and staple<br />

fibre can be reduced or overcome by fiber modification and/or by blending with cotton or other fibers. Hightenacity<br />

polyester filament yarn and staple fibre have a higher tensile strength and a lower elongation before<br />

break than conventional polyester fiber. High-tenacity polyester fibers are used for both industrial and textile<br />

applications for which high strength and low crimp are important.<br />

Textile exports from India to the developed countries have increased in the post quota regime. A rise in the<br />

domestic textile consumption with the aid of a high GDP growth and changing lifestyle patterns is helping the<br />

consumption of polyester. The emergence of retail boom is boosting the demand for innovative products from<br />

the end consumers who have not experienced such products earlier. Cotton prices are expected to remain firm in<br />

the year ahead with limited growth in crop production thereby leading to a higher cotton-price environment.<br />

This typically has a positive impact on the polyester business both from a demand perspective (higher polyester<br />

blending) and pricing perspective.<br />

PET<br />

PET is eco-friendly and inert which has established itself as the polymer of the future in most packaging<br />

applications, especially in food and beverage packaging. It is widely used in packaging of soft drinks, water,<br />

edible oil, food products, juices, dairy beverages, pharmaceuticals, toiletries etc.<br />

The overall worldwide demand of PET resin continues to grow with the increasing demand of plastic and PET<br />

packaging. The total world demand for PET resin is estimated to be 14.6 million tons in 2010 as compared to<br />

10.0 million tons in 2005-06. In India also the market for PET Resin is growing steadily. The demand of PET<br />

resin is also influenced by seasonal factors and the growth pattern of the food processing and FMCG sectors.<br />

BUSINESS OVERVIEW<br />

Our Company was incorporated as a public limited company in Maharashtra under the name Indian Organic<br />

Chemicals Limited in February 1960 and commenced business on April 22, 1960. We commenced<br />

manufacturing operations at our plant at Khopoli, Maharashtra, for production of alcohol-based chemicals like<br />

Acetic Acid, Acetic Anhydride, Acetaldehyde and Ethyl Acetate, Benzyl products, Plasticizers and Glyoxal.<br />

In 1972, we set up a plant at Manali, Chennai, for manufacture of Polyester Fibres with an installed capacity of<br />

6,100 MT per annum. By 1986, the capacity was expanded to 38,500 MT per annum. Subsequently, a 9,175 MT<br />

of Polyester Filament Yarn (POY) plant was also set up. The POY business was discontinued after 1995 due to<br />

its uneconomic size and the plant had since been disposed off.<br />

With the launching of petro-based chemicals in 1990s and liberalization of molasses usage for potable alcohol,<br />

our industrial alcohol-based facility at Khopoli lost its competitive edge. The chemicals business had to be<br />

phased out gradually over a period of time. We however, succeeded in adapting and using our facilities at<br />

Khopoli to undertake knowledge based activities like custom synthesis, contract manufacture and contract R&D.<br />

As this new activity is “knowledge based”, requiring a different focus, our Company decided to transfer the<br />

chemicals division at Khopoli to another entity called Innovassynth Technologies (India) Limited. The term<br />

“knowledge based” means any activity, which requires use of specialised knowledge of the employees. In India<br />

skilled manpower like scientists, chemists and engineers are easily available at competitive rates. Innovassynth<br />

Technologies (India) Limited is engaged in Customs Synthesis, Contract manufacture and Contract R&D work<br />

which requires specialised knowledge of Chemistry and as such it has to rely on the specialist employees having<br />

the requisite qualifications and experience.<br />

With the separation of chemical business of our Company as above, our Polyester business at Chennai started<br />

focusing on Speciality Fibres, Speciality Polymers and Preforms. In order that the name of our Company<br />

correctly reflects the core business in which it is engaged in, our Company changed its name to “Futura<br />

Polyesters Limited” which became effective from November 05, 2002. (“Futura” is the registered trade mark of<br />

our Company under which it markets its products.)<br />

During the year 1993, our Company commenced production of PET Resin and Preforms at Manali, Chennai,<br />

under the name Futura Polymers Limited, as a joint venture with PepsiCo, USA, through its investment arm<br />

Transmere Inc., Mauritius. Subsequently during the year 1998, PepsiCo Inc. quit the joint venture. During the<br />

year 2002, Futura Polymers Limited was amalgamated with our Company.<br />

Our Company has one manufacturing facility at Chennai, currently consistingof three major activities, namely,<br />

Polyester Staple Fibres/Chips, PET Resins and PET Preforms. The installed capacities of these as on March 31,<br />

2008 are as under:<br />

Product<br />

Installed Capacity in MT per<br />

annum<br />

Polyester Staple Fibre / Chips 38,500<br />

Solid State Polymers 57,000<br />

PET Preforms 20,000<br />

We had established a subsidiary called Futura Industries Limited (FIL) to carry out Development on PET<br />

recycling and commercialise the technology for recycling of Polyester fibre waste and PET bottle scrap into<br />

polyester feed stock. Initially, the factory was located at Tiruvellore, near Chennai. FIL was carrying out the<br />

operations on job work basis for our Company for some time and the facilities were shifted, during 1997 from<br />

Tiruvellore to the main factory located at Manali, Chennai. In the year 2001, FIL was amalgamated with our<br />

Company. Presently, the PET recycling activity is being carried out at our factory at Manali, Chennai.<br />

Manufacturing Process<br />

Polyester Staple Fibres/Chips<br />

The main raw materials used are PTA, MEG, PET/PTT Chips and Alloys thereof. The manufacturing process<br />

consists of three stages, viz., Polymerization, Spinning and Draw Line. In Polymerization, the major raw<br />

materials are mixed in specific ratio and catalysts are added to produce Polyester Chips. PET/PTT Chips and<br />

other resins in primary forms are obtained from Polymer Division in the same location. In the spinning stage,<br />

these Polyester Chips/Polyester Melt are extruded and sent through spinnerets and spun tow is produced and<br />

collected in tow cans. The spun tow collected in tow cans are drawn further in the draw-line and finally crimped<br />

into various out lengths of fibre to suit the requirements.<br />

Marketing and Marketing Strategy (Domestic and exports)<br />

1 Polyester Fibres<br />

Textile mills manufacturing blended polyester and worsted fabrics are our main customers. The major<br />

producers of PSF in India are Reliance Industries Ltd, Indo–Rama Synthetics (India) Limited, and<br />

Bombay Dyeing India Limited who have large capacities of Fibre and Filament Yarn. Their main<br />

product is semi-dull white fibre in the predominantly commodities segment.<br />

We are focussed on specialty and coloured fibres, Tow, Tops, Low Pill and new specialities, High<br />

Shrink, V-Flex, Flame Retardant and Moister Management and Special effects fibre. Our fibre sales are<br />

predominantly to domestic textile mills. We also cater to export markets in Europe, Middle East, USA<br />

and South East Asian countries. Our products and prices are internationally competitive which vary<br />

according to market conditions.<br />

We lay emphasis on development of new products. We have developed more than three hundred shades<br />

of colours in fibres. Recently, we have launched specialities such High Shrink Fibres, V-Flex Fibres,<br />

Flame Retardant Fibres, and Moisture Management Fibres.<br />

2 Polymers<br />

Futura Polymers is a 100% Export Oriented Unit. The PET Resin and allied products are primarily<br />

exported to various countries. There is currently an anti-dumping duty (ADD) against imports of PET<br />

Resin from India into the European Union to mitigate which we have executed a price undertaking with<br />

the European Commission, which facilitates the exports of Speciality Resin. We have completed a<br />

R&D initiative to launch a wide range of Specialty Resins such as Special Hot Fill Resin for fruit juice<br />

application, Special Wave-PET Resin for dual ovenable trays, Special Jar PET Resin as Poly Carbonate<br />

substitute for five gallon water jars, Beer PET Resin for tunnel pasteurisable Beer with C02,O2 barrier,<br />

Easy Dyeable Resin/V-Flex Resin for textile applications, Green PET Resin with 20% recycled<br />

content, Heavy metal free Resin and Resin for pasteurisable juice containers. Our Company has also<br />

diversified into production of entire range of polyesters such as PEN, PTT, PBT, PTN, PBN and Co-<br />

Polyesters.<br />

38


3 PET Preforms<br />

PET Preforms are sold predominantly in the domestic market to multinational beverage/water<br />

marketing companies. Our Company exports about 100 to 200 tons per month to various countries. The<br />

export market is growing rapidly and our Company hopes to increase its share of exports in the coming<br />

years. Our Company has installed a stretch blow-moulding machine, which is used to blow the bottles<br />

from the newly developed specialty resin for filling juices, beer and pharma products. Our Company is<br />

diversifying into Specialty Preforms for Hotfill / Beer / Liquor / Pharmaceutical segments by using<br />

specialty resins developed in-house.<br />

Competition<br />

i. Polyester Fibres<br />

Three major producers of PSF in India are Reliance Industries Limited, Indo Rama Synthetics (India)<br />

Limited, and Bombay Dyeing India Limited. They have large capacities with main product range as<br />

semi-dull white fibre and black fibre. Our Company is looking to consolidate its position in the niche<br />

segment of specialty and coloured fibres, tow, tops, low pill, etc. Our Company also exports fibres to<br />

several countries with focus on customised colour fibre business with over three hundred shades and<br />

have recently launched a range of speciality fibres such as High Shrink, V-Flex, Flame Retardant,<br />

Moisture Management and Special effects fibres. With continuous R&D and focus on speciality<br />

segment we believe that we can adequately withstand the competition in the segment.<br />

ii. Polymers<br />

The polymer products are mainly exported and there is limited sale in the domestic market except<br />

captive consumption for preforms. Reliance Industries Limited and South Asian Petrochem Limited are<br />

the major producers of PET resin in India. Large-scale producers in USA, China, Korea and Taiwan<br />

offer stiff competition in the world market. There is currently anti-dumping duty against import from<br />

India of PET resin in European Union countries. There are further large capacities being created, which<br />

would result in competition getting more intense.<br />

iii. PET Preforms<br />

There are many medium and small sized manufacturers of preforms in the domestic market. We are<br />

diversifying into specialty Preforms for small Carbonated Soft Drink, hot fill juices, tunnel<br />

pasteurisable containers, beer and pharmaceutical segments using specialty polymers to effectively<br />

handle competition.<br />

INSURANCE<br />

42


We have obtained insurance policies that cover standard industrial risks and workmens’ compensation for our<br />

principal places of business including our factory.at Manali, Chennai. We believe that we maintain insurance in<br />

accordance with customary industrial practices. However, the amount of our insurance coverage may be less<br />

than the replacement cost of all covered property and may not be sufficient to cover all financial losses that we<br />

may suffer should a risk materializes. Further, there are many events that could cause significant damages to our<br />

operations or expose us to third party liabilities, whether or not known to us, for which we may not be<br />

adequately insured. Further, all our insurance policies have exclusion clauses and do not cover us for certain<br />

risks and in certain circumstances. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured,<br />

it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.<br />

HISTORY AND OTHER CORPORATE INFORMATION<br />

History<br />

Our Company was incorporated in the year 1960 under the name of Indian Organic Chemicals Limited. The<br />

name of our Company was changed to Futura Polyesters Limited with effect from November 05, 2002.<br />

Our Company was promoted by the Late Mr. Bhupatirai Maganlal Ghia, a noted industrialist. The Late Mr.<br />

Bhupati Maganlal Ghia and the Late Mr. Dharamdas Sitaldas Dalal were our Company’s Managing Director<br />

and Joint Managing Director from January 01, 1970 until August, 1990 and December 31, 1987, respectively.<br />

After the demise of Mr. Bhupatirai Maganlal Ghia and retirement of Mr. Dharamdas Sitaldas Dalal, Mr. Shyam<br />

Bhupatirai Ghia (son of late Mr. Bhupatirai Maganlal Ghia) and Mr. Mukund Dharamdas Dalal (son of late Mr.<br />

Dharamdas Sitaldas Dalal) are considered as Promoters of our Company. Presently, our Company is managed<br />

by Mr. Shyam Bhupatirai Ghia in the capacity as Chairman & Managing Director and by Mr. Mukund<br />

Dharamdas Dalal in the capacity as Joint Managing Director.<br />

Consequent upon the nationalisation of various banks the erstwhile Corporation Bank Limited had received<br />

compensation of Rs. 180 lacs from the Government of India. Corporation Bank Limited was not under the<br />

control or ownership of the promoters of our Company. At that time our Company needed funds for the<br />

Polyester projects expansion at Chennai. Hence, after negotiation it was agreed that the erstwhile Corporation<br />

Bank Limited would be amalgamated with our Company so that our Company could utilize the compensation<br />

amount received by Corporation Bank Limited for its expansion project and that the shareholders of Corporation<br />

Bank would receive shares in our Company. Accordingly, the amalgamation scheme was prepared and approved<br />

by the respective shareholders of both the companies and the High Court of Karnataka and Mumbai. Upon<br />

amalgamation, our Company issued Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each credited as fully paid, one convertible<br />

debenture at a face value of Rs. 125/- credited as fully paid and one convertible secured debenture of face value<br />

of Rs. 150/- credited as fully paid against every five ordinary shares of Rs. 50/- each fully paid held by such<br />

members in Corporation Bank Limited.<br />

In the year 1986, our Company formed a separate software division called Sonata Software Division which was<br />

engaged in development, consultancy and marketing of software products. After eight years of its existence and<br />

in view of the opportunities available for software business, the management decided that this activity needed<br />

separate focus and management techniques different from manufacturing activities. The business needed<br />

recruitment of large number of personnel to be trained in software companies, which did not match with the<br />

existing pay structure and prerequisites given by our Company. It was, therefore, decided to spin off this activity<br />

to a separate company formed for this purpose, namely, Sonata Software Limited. Hence, by means of an<br />

agreement in the year 1994 the division was transferred to Sonata Software Limited.<br />

In the face of competition from large manufacturers, a number of polyester manufacturing companies had either<br />

to close down their operations or allow acquisition by other large companies. One of the problems of the<br />

Polyester industry is the high cost of raw materials namely, PTA, MEG, etc. Companies which had integrated<br />

facilities for manufacturing both, the raw materials as well as polyester and fabrics, had a competitive<br />

advantage. In order to overcome this challenge our Company decided to experiment in recycling of polyester<br />

fibre waste and PET bottle scrap into polyester feed stock so as to develop substitute for the high cost raw<br />

material. This needed separate research and development and manufacturing facility distinct from Company’s<br />

operations. Hence, our Company formed a subsidiary called Futura Industries Limited (FIL) for the purpose.<br />

Initially, a factory was located at Tiruvellore, near Chennai, where the bottle washing/crushing/flaking facilities<br />

were designed and developed, based on years of research and development. FIL had also patented the<br />

technology for recycling (developed as above). FIL was carrying out the operation on job work basis for<br />

sometime and the facilities were later shifted from Tiruvellore to the main factory location at Manali, Chennai to<br />

avoid transportation cost. Having perfected the technology for recycling it was considered unnecessary to have<br />

separate establishment for this activity since it involved additional expenditure in terms of administrative costs,<br />

maintenance of separate books of accounts, compliance with various formalities under the laws governing direct<br />

and indirect taxes. Hence in the year 2001 FIL was amalgamated with our Company after getting the required<br />

approvals from the High Courts of Chennai and Bombay.<br />

In the year 1992-93, our Company was approached by PepsiCo international, U.S.A., (PepsiCo) to explore the<br />

possibilities of forming a Joint Venture (JV), to manufacture PET Resin for use by PepsiCo to make bottles for<br />

its packaged beverage/water businesses in U.S.A. After negotiations, a separate JV was formed, namely, Futura<br />

Polymers Limited, with PepsiCo through its investment company. Transmere Inc. Mauritius. In this Futura<br />

Polymers Limited, Transmere Inc. held 70% of the equity and our Company held the remaining 30% of the<br />

Equity Share capital. As per the JV arrangement, PepsiCo through its bottling companies purchased the PET<br />

Resin manufactured by the Joint Venture. In the year 1998, PepsiCo took corporate decision to concentrate only<br />

on its core business, namely, beverages and food products and decided to exit the Joint Venture and sold its<br />

entire stake of 100% in Transmere Inc. to our Company. This resulted, in our Company holding the entire 100%<br />

54


(70% through Transmere and 30% directly) of the Equity Shares of Futura Polymers Limited. In order to avoid<br />

additional expenditure in terms of administrative cost, maintaining separate books of accounts, need for<br />

compliance with various laws including direct and indirect laws etc. it was decided to merge Transmere Inc.,<br />

and the JV Company with our Company. Transmere was amalgamated in 1999 and JV Company was<br />

amalgamated in 2002.<br />

With the launching of petro-based chemicals in 1990s and liberalization of molasses usage for potable alcohol,<br />

our industrial alcohol-based facility at Khopoli lost its competitive edge. Hence, the Chemical division at<br />

Khopoli became unviable and had to be gradually closed down over a period of time. Thereafter, the<br />

infrastructure and facilities available at Khopoli were utilized for new lines of business consisting of contract<br />

chemicals, customs synthesis, contract R&D and other related areas based on specialized scientific skills<br />

available in this country. Since these new activities required special focus, as distinct from the core business of<br />

our Company, namely, manufacture of Polyester Staple fibre, PET Resin and preforms, it was decided to hive<br />

off the Khopoli division to another Company. Hence in the year 2001, our Company incorporated a new<br />

company under the name Innovassynth Technologies (India) Limited as its wholly owned subsidiary. In the year<br />

2004 our Company transferred its entire Chemicals division at Khopoli to Innovassynth Technologies (India)<br />

Limited for a consideration of Rs. 50 crores consisting of Rs. 25 crores of fully paid up Equity Shares and Rs.<br />

25 crores as debt, which has since been repaid. Thereafter, Innovassynth Technologies (India) Limited raised<br />

further capital to meet its expansion requirements. Consequently, the shareholding of our Company in<br />

Innovassynth Technologies (India) Limited stood at 42.5% of the paid up share capital of Innovassynth<br />

Technologies (India) Limited.<br />

Our Company decided to transfer its entitre shareholding of 2,38,50,070 equity shares in Innovassynth<br />

Technologies (India) Limited to a new company namely Innovassynth Investments Limited which was<br />

incorporated on February 15, 2008. It was decided to carry out this transfer through a Scheme of Arrangement<br />

and accordingly, our Company filed in the High Court of Bombay a Scheme of Arrangement under Sections 391<br />

to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956. Pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement our Company divested its entire<br />

shareholding in Innovassynth Technologies (India) Limited to, Innovassynth Investments Limited, and pursuant<br />

to the said Scheme of Arrangement, shareholders of our Company shall be entitled to receive five equity shares<br />

in Innovassynth Investments Limited for every eleven equity shares held on the record date fixed for the<br />

purposes of determining entitlement of shareholders under the said Scheme. The said Scheme was sanctioned by<br />

the High Court of Bombay on July 04, 2008. The Scheme of Arrangement becomes effective when a copy of the<br />

order of the High Court is filed with with the RoC. Our Company has filed the copy of the order of the High<br />

Court with RoC July 15, 2008, .<br />

In the year 2004, our Company raised additional equity share capital through rights issue at par. The funds<br />

raised by the Rights Issue were fully utilized as working capital.<br />

In the year 2005, our Company incorporated Futura Polyesters Inc. U.S.A as a Subsidiary. Since there were no<br />

operations and no transactions by our company, it was dissolved in the year 2006.<br />

In 2006-2007, our Company was granted its first patent by the President of the European Patent Office for a<br />

period of twenty years.<br />

Overview of the business of our Company<br />

Our Company was incorporated as a public limited company in Maharashtra under the name Indian Organic<br />

Chemicals Limited in February 1960 and commenced business on April 22, 1960. We commenced<br />

manufacturing operations at our plant at Khopoli, Maharashtra, for production of alcohol-based chemicals like<br />

Acetic Acid, Acetic Anhydride, Acetaldehyde and Ethyl Acetate, Benzyl products, Plasticizers and Glyoxal.<br />

In 1972, we set up a plant at Manali, Chennai, for manufacture of Polyester Fibres with an installed capacity of<br />

6,100 MT per annum. By 1986, the capacity was expanded to 38,500 MT per annum. Subsequently, a 9,175 MT<br />

of Polyester Filament Yarn (POY) plant was also set up. The POY business was discontinued after 1995 due to<br />

its uneconomic size and the plant had since been disposed off.<br />

With the launching of petro-based chemicals in 1990s and liberalization of molasses usage for potable alcohol,<br />

our industrial alcohol-based facility at Khopoli lost its competitive edge. The chemicals business had to be<br />

phased out gradually over a period of time. We however, succeeded in adapting and using our facilities at<br />

Khopoli to undertake knowledge based activities like custom synthesis, contract manufacture and contract R&D.<br />

In India skilled manpower like scientists, chemists and engineers are easily available at competitive rates. As the<br />

new activity is “knowledge based” requiring a different focus, our Company decided to transfer the Chemicals<br />

division at Khopoli to another entity called Innovassynth Technologies (India) Limited. The term “knowledge<br />

based” means any activity, which requires use of specialised knowledge of the employees. Innovassynth<br />

Technologies (India) Limited is engaged in Customs Synthesis, Contract manufacture and Contract R&D work<br />

which requires specialised knowledge of Chemistry and as such it has to rely on the specialist employees having<br />

the requisite qualifications and experience.<br />

With the separation of chemical business of our Company as above, our Polyester business at Chennai started<br />

focusing on Speciality Fibres, Speciality Polymers and Preforms. In order that the name of our Company<br />

correctly reflects the core business in which it is engaged in, our Company changed its name to “Futura<br />

Polyesters Limited” which became effective from November 05, 2002. (“Futura” is the registered trademark of<br />

our Company under which it markets its products.)<br />

During the year 1993, our Company commenced production of PET Resin and Preforms at Manali, Chennai,<br />

under the name Futura Polymers Limited, as a joint venture with PepsiCo, USA, through its investment arm<br />

Transmere Inc., Mauritius. Subsequently during the year 1998, PepsiCo Inc. quit the joint venture. During the<br />

year 2002, Futura Polymers Limited was amalgamated with our Company.<br />

Our Company has one manufacturing facility at Chennai, currently consistingof three major activities, namely,<br />

Polyester Staple Fibres/Chips, PET Resins and PET Preforms. The installed capacities of these as on March 31,<br />

2008 are as under:<br />

annum<br />

139


Polyester Staple Fibre / Chips 38,500<br />

Solid State Polymers 57,000<br />

PET Preforms 20,000<br />

We had established a subsidiary called Futura Industries Limited (FIL) to carry out Development on PET<br />

recycling and commercialise the technology for recycling of Polyester fibre waste and PET bottle scrap into<br />

polyester feed stock. Initially, the factory was located at Tiruvellore, near Chennai. FIL was carrying out the<br />

operations on job work basis for our Company for some time and the facilities were shifted, during 1997from<br />

Tiruvellore to the main factory located at Manali, Chennai. In the year 2001, FIL was amalgamated with our<br />

Company. Presently, the PET recycling activity is being carried out at our factory at Manali, Chennai.<br />

pasteurisable juice containers and such specialised applications. Our R&D efforts have led us to patenting<br />

process for producing Fast Reheat Bottle Grade PET Resin and product patent pertaining to Thermo Plastic<br />

Crystalline PET. Since we operate in a dynamic industry, our R&D efforts are continuous so as to<br />

supplement our product base with newer and quality products.<br />

8 Established marketing network<br />

We have a well-established marketing network present in India and abroad. We market our Preforms and<br />

Resin products directly to our customers and Fibre products primarily through commission agents.<br />

Presently, we have eleven commission agents in India and nine outside India. We market our products in<br />

Europe, Middle East, USA and South East Asian countries. We interact with our customers on a regular<br />

basis to understand their specific needs and latest trends in the industry so as to serve them better.<br />

Our diverse product mix enables us to serve varied customers’ needs in a short span of time. We have<br />

presence in Polyester Fibres, PET Resins and Preforms products. Our Polyester fibre products are speciality<br />

coloured fibres. We are able to change our product mix to suit our customers’ needs quickly due to our<br />

flexible batch product lines. We have through our R&D efforts developed speciality fibres like V-Flex High<br />

Shrink, Flame retardant moisture management and special effects fibres. We also manufacture products like<br />

Polyester Tow, Tops and Low Pill Fibres. Polymer products cover the entire range of Polyesters namely,<br />

PET, PEN, PTT, PBT, PTN, PBN. Our PET Preforms are used by bottling units for blowing into bottles of<br />

different sizes for filling juices, carbonated beverages and water. We have developed speciality performs<br />

for small Carbonated Soft Drink, beer and Pasteurable containers.<br />

10 Focus on Specialty segment<br />

We are focused on specialty niche segment, as we believe that our margins can improve by targeting<br />

customers in that segment. Based on our understanding of the dynamic nature of the industry in which we<br />

operate, we devise our business strategy accordingly. It is realized that the Commodity PET Resin market is<br />

increasingly turning regional and exports are going to be increasingly difficult. Nevertheless, we have<br />

completed R&D initiative to launch a wide range of Speciality PET Resins such as Fast Reheat Resin for<br />

Collaborations/tie-ups/associations<br />

As on the date of Draft Letter of Offer, we have not entered into any collaboration/tieups/association<br />

Factors affecting our results of operations<br />

Our business, results of operations and financial conditions are affected by the following factors: -<br />

Our business plans may need substantial capital and additional financing in the form of debt and/or equity to<br />

meet our requirements.<br />

Our business requires a substantial amount of working capital. In many cases, working capital is required to<br />

finance the purchase of materials. Our working capital requirements may increase if, in certain contracts,<br />

payment terms do not provide for advance payments to us or if payment schedules are less favorable to us. We<br />

may need additional financing in the future in the form of debt and/or equity to fulfill our working capital needs.<br />

Continued increases in working capital requirements may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and<br />

results of operations.<br />

If we are unable to attract and retain key employees, our operations could be adversely affected.<br />

Our business substantially depends on the continued service of our key managerial personnel. The loss of the<br />

services of our key managerial personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. Our future success will also<br />

depend on our ability to attract highly skilled personnel, such as engineering, project management and senior<br />

management professionals. We could experience difficulty from time to time in hiring the personnel necessary<br />

to support our business. If we do not succeed in attracting new high quality employees, our reputation may be<br />

adversely impacted harmed and our future earnings may be negatively impacted.<br />

Increase in the cost of raw materials, particularly petroleum-based raw materials, have put pressure on our<br />

margins and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.<br />

Volatility of raw material prices may have a negative impact on the financial performance of our Company.<br />

The raw materials required to manufacture polyester; preforms and PET resins are procured from<br />

petrochemicals, which are derived from hydrocarbons. These hydrocarbons are further extracted from crude oil<br />

and natural gas. Constant fluctuation in the price of crude oil in the international market has a direct impact on<br />

our cost of manufacturing. This consequent volatility in the price of our raw material may exercise a negative<br />

impact on the profitability of our product and financial performance of our Company.<br />

Production of polyesters, performs and PET requires raw materials which are procured from petroleum-based<br />

products. The cost of raw materials consumed by our Company constituted approximately 53.9% of our<br />

Company’s net sales for FY 2008 and approximately 57.2% of our Company’s net sales for FY 2007. Constant<br />

increase in the price of crude oil in the international market, specially in the last couple of years, has a direct<br />

impact on our cost of manufacturing. Any increase in the cost of the raw materials can adversely impact our<br />

profit margins if we are unable to pass on the increased cost on to our customers. Further, even if we are able to<br />

pass on the increase in raw material prices to our customers, this may reduce the demand for our products. To<br />

the extent that our Company uses virgin raw material (vis-à-vis recycled raw material), this consequent volatility<br />

in the price of raw materials may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results<br />

of operations.<br />

The demand for PSF is substantially dependent on the prices of other fibres (primarily cotton), and reduction<br />

in prices of other fibres may adversely affect PSF demand.<br />

One of our key products is PSF, which accounted for 41.42% and 46.69% of our sales in FY 2007 and FY 2008.<br />

PSF is primarily used in the textile industry, and is blended with other fibres (including cotton) in textile<br />

production. The blending percentage in the textile industry depends, in part, upon the prices of the respective<br />

fibres used in the blend. Any fall in the prices of other fibres (primarily cotton), on account of excess production<br />

or otherwise, may lead to reduction of percentage of PSF in the blends, thereby adversely affecting the demand<br />

for PSF, which would have a material adverse effect on our turnover, and consequently on our business, results<br />

of operations and financial condition.<br />

141


Our Company places heavy reliance on the import of raw material<br />

Our Company has to rely heavily on the import of raw materials for manufacturing polymer. Timely<br />

Pprocurement of raw material is the most critical aspect of our manufacturing operation and the same is subject,<br />

inter alia, to laws monitoring the import in India as also laws governing exports in the countries/territories from<br />

where the exports originate, soverign and territorial factors, among others. Further, aAny change in the importexport<br />

policy by the Government of India may have a negative impact on the import of our raw materials.<br />

At times our Company has to depend on third party manufacturers for the supply of polymer and disruption<br />

in their operations may have a negative impact on our manufacturing operations.<br />

Our Company has in house provision for the manufacture of polymer, which acts as a raw material for<br />

generating performs. However, there are occasions when in order to execute orders in bulk, our Company has to<br />

procure polymer from other manufacturers. Our Company has relied on these suppliers in times of exigencies<br />

pertaining to the supply of polymer. Any change in the supply pattern of third party suppliers may have a<br />

negative impact on the manufacture of performs, in case of any paucity in the in house manufacture of polymer.<br />

Potential fluctuations in future operating results on account of increase in raw material costs, transportation<br />

costs etc.<br />

The factors for potential fluctuations in future operating results include are:<br />

a. Cost of Raw Materials<br />

Purified Terepthalic Acid and Mono Ethylene Glycol are the major raw materials used in the manufacturing<br />

of our products. A major portion of the requirements of the basic raw materials by our Company is<br />

imported. The cost of such materials to ourour Company depends upon the prices ruling in the international<br />

commodity markets at the time of imports, over which our Company do not have any control. Any increase<br />

in the price of PTA and MEG would directly affect the margins profitability of our Company.<br />

b. Labour Union<br />

Our Company employs a large number of work force at its manufacturing plant. The factory workers are<br />

affiliated to particular Trade Union(s). Any concerted industrial action could always disrupt the production<br />

volume and consequently the sales growth of our Company.<br />

c. Transportation<br />

Timely delivery of products is critical for our performance. We use third-party transporters for the supply of<br />

raw materials to our factories and for delivery of finished products to our customers. Any hindrance in the<br />

logistics network, serious strike, stoppage of work, etc by the fleet owners could cause an adverse effect on<br />

our receipt of supplies and our ability to deliver our finished products in time, which could impact our<br />

business. Further, high transportation cost and escalation thereof may affect our profitability. Our Company<br />

engages a large number of heavy and light commercial trucks for movement of both raw materials to its<br />

manufacturing plants and finished products to its distribution centers and thereafter to its end customers.<br />

Any serious strike, stoppage of work, etc by the fleet owners could disrupt the production and sales volume<br />

of our Company.<br />

Our existing manufacturing unit is geographically located in Manali, Chennai. Any unrest or natural<br />

calamity in this unit can break down our operations which will adversely affect our operations.<br />

Our manufacturing units at Manali, Chennai and our business operations are vulnerable to damage or<br />

interruptions in operations due to adverse weather conditions, earthquakes, tsunami, fires, explosions, power<br />

loss, software flaws, viruses, transmission cable cuts or similar events. Any failure of our systems or any<br />

shutdown of any part of our manufacturing units, networks, operations because of operational disruption, natural<br />

disaster such as flood or earthquake, or otherwise, could disrupt our services and result in significant costs.<br />

While our Company has not in the past experienced any interruptions, either due to a natural disaster or a<br />

systems failure, tFurther, there can be no assurance that business continuity plans we have developed to cover<br />

material breakdowns or damage to our manufacturing units, network or critical operating equipment will be<br />

sufficient to maintain our operations in all adverse circumstances.<br />

Any loss of or breakdown of machinery at any of the our manufacturing facility at Manali, Chennai may<br />

have an adverse affect on business, financial condition and results of operations<br />

142


Our Company’s manufacturing facility at Manali, Chennai is are subject to operating risks, such as the<br />

breakdown or failure of equipment, power supply or processes, performance below expected levels of output or<br />

efficiency, obsolescence, labour disputes, industrial accidents and the need to comply with the directives of<br />

relevant government authorities. The occurrence of any of these risks could significantly affect its operating<br />

results. Our business and operations may be adversely affected by any disruption of operations at our<br />

manufacturing facilities.<br />

had purchased 50, 12.5% fully convertible<br />

secured debentures of Defendant No. 1 from<br />

Defendant No. 2 which at that time were<br />

partly paid up by Defendant No. 2.<br />

Defendant No. 1 issued a notice for the<br />

pending call money which was sent to<br />

Defendant No. 2, who in turn allegedly gave<br />

it to the Plaintiff, since the Defendant No. 2<br />

Plaintiff has alleged that he duly paid the<br />

entire pending call money on the said<br />

debentures, but did not send the said<br />

debentures, for transfer in his own name. At<br />

debentures, into 250 equity shares, they were<br />

converted and equity shares were issued in<br />

alleged that the Defendant No. 2 received<br />

250 equity shares; he in turn sold them in the<br />

open market out of which 200 shares were<br />

purchased by Defendant No. 3 and 50 shares<br />

by someone else.<br />

denying the Petitioner the bill books<br />

for monthly collection from the cable<br />

subscribers, in contravention of the<br />

franchisee agreement. Further, it has<br />

been alleged by the Petitioner that<br />

despite repeated demands the<br />

Respondents did not settle the<br />

amounts with the Petitioner.<br />

This arbitral proceeding has been<br />

initiated for the claim of Rs.5,29,523<br />

due to the Claimant by the<br />

Respondent no.1. The Claimant has<br />

alleged that he had entered into a<br />

license agreement with the<br />

Respondent no.1 dated December 04,<br />

2000, wherein it was agreed that the<br />

Claimant would wind up his existing<br />

cable TV network thereby relying on<br />

the assurance that the Respondents<br />

would provide connections to the<br />

subscribers of the Claimant. The<br />

Claimant has alleged that he had<br />

remitted an amount of Rs. 15,88,570<br />

upto January 2002 in the account of<br />

the Respondents towards the<br />

subscription charges out of which Rs.<br />

5,29,523 had to be paid to the<br />

Claimant as his share of subscription<br />

fee in accordance with the terms of<br />

the agreement. The Claimant has<br />

further alleged that the Respondents<br />

have acted in contravention of the<br />

agreement and his share of<br />

subscription fee was not paid to him<br />

despite repeated requests.<br />

This complaint has been filed for the<br />

permanent injunction to restore the<br />

cable signal provided by the<br />

Defendant no.1. The Complainant and<br />

the Defendant No.1 had tied up for the<br />

Petitioner alleges the Respondent no.<br />

1 to 5 of acting in contravention of the<br />

guidelines for allotting electric poles<br />

for drawing cable TV lines framed as<br />

per the directions of the High Court of<br />

Judicature at Kerala. It has been<br />

further alleged by the Petitioner that<br />

the Respondent No. 1 has permitted<br />

Respondent No. 6 (Asianet Satellite<br />

Communications Limited) to draw<br />

lines using electric poles but refused<br />

to permit other cable TV operators,<br />

thereby indicating the biasness in the<br />

allotment of electric poles.<br />

This appeal has been filed against the<br />

orders of the Munsiff Court dated<br />

June 21, 2003 in the O.S No. 25/2002<br />

and Additional District and Sessions<br />

Court in A.S No. 54/2003 dated<br />

arises from the suit filed for a<br />

restraining the Respondent No. 1 from<br />

disconnecting the cable connection<br />

which the Appellant in the present<br />

appeal had subscribed for.<br />

This complaint dated October 27,<br />

2005 has been filed for the recovery<br />

of the amount accrued to the<br />

Complainant under the insurance<br />

scheme introduced by the Opposite<br />

parties. The Complainant has alleged<br />

that she was made the nominee in the<br />

insurance scheme subscribed by her<br />

daughter. Further, it has been alleged<br />

that she was entitled to receive a sum<br />

of Rs. 50,000 after the death of the<br />

daughter which was not disbursed to<br />

the Complainant and therefore<br />

amounted to deficiency in service.<br />

This complaint dated March 04, 2005<br />

has been filed for the recovery of the<br />

amount allegedly accrued to the<br />

Complainant under the insurance<br />

scheme introduced by the Opposite<br />

parties. The Complainant has alleged<br />

that she was made the nominee in the<br />

husband. Further, it has been alleged<br />

that she was entitled to receive a sum<br />

of Rs. 50,000 after the death of her<br />

husband which was not disbursed to<br />

the Complainant and therefore,<br />

resulted in mental agony to the<br />

Complainant<br />

This complaint has been filed on<br />

account of the alleged negligence by<br />

the First Opposite Party. The<br />

Complainant was an employee in<br />

Offer to Non-Resident Equity Shareholders/Applicants<br />

As per regulation 6 of Notification No. FEMA 20/200-RB dated May 3, 2000, the RBI has given general<br />

permission to Indian companies to issue rights shares to non-resident shareholders including additional shares.<br />

Applications received from NRIs and non-residents for allotment of Equity Shares shall be inter alia, subject to<br />

the conditions imposed from time to time by the RBI under the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999<br />

payment of dividend etc. to the non-resident shareholders. The rights shares purchased by non-residents shall be<br />

subject to the same conditions including restrictions in regard to the repatriability as are applicable to the<br />

original shares against which rights shares are issued.<br />

By virtue of Circular No. 14 dated September 16, 2003 issued by the RBI, overseas corporate bodies (“OCBs”)<br />

have been derecognized as an eligible class of investors and the RBI has subsequently issued the Foreign<br />

Exchange Management (Withdrawal of General Permission to Overseas Corporate Bodies (OCBs)) Regulations,<br />

2003. Accordingly, OCBs shall not be eligible to subscribe to the Equity Shares. The RBI has however clarified<br />

in its circular, A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 44, dated December 8, 2003 that OCBs which are incorporated<br />

and are not under the adverse notice of the RBI are permitted to undertake fresh investments as incorporated<br />

non-resident entities. Further, the RBI in its Master Circular dated July 1, 2007 has stated that OCBs are not<br />

permitted to subscribe to Equity Shares of Indian companies on rights basis under the automatic route. OCBs<br />

shall not be eligible to subscribe to the Equity Shares pursuant to the Draft Letter of Offer unless prior approval<br />

of the RBI is obtained in this regard.<br />

In this respect, our Company had applied to the RBI for permission for certain named erstwhile OCB<br />

shareholders, which were its shareholders on the date of application to RBI, and the RBI has vide its letter no.<br />

FE.CO.FID/1494/11.01.020(XXX)2008-09 dated July 16, 2008 issued the following clarifications in respect of<br />

the above:<br />

“Please refer to your letter dated June 25, 2008 on the captioned subject.<br />

2. Our clarification seriatim, to the issues raised is as under;<br />

Enterprises Inc. and Banabhai Finance Limited are not under adverse notice of RBI and right equity<br />

shares can be offered to them by the company as non-resident entities provided the entities are<br />

incorporated or registered under the relevant statutes, laws of the host country and the share<br />

subscription is received from them by the way of foreign inward remittance through normal banking<br />

channel.<br />

222


) They can renounce their right shares in part or in full in favour of resident or in favour of person resident<br />

outside India, who is eligible to invest in the company under the FDI Policy. However, if the renouncee is<br />

an entity reckoned as OCB then the company will have to ensure that such incorporated/registered entity<br />

has not availed of benefits as an OCB and confirm from RBI that the entity is not under adverse notice or<br />

they can apply for additional shares under the Right Issue as incorporated non-resident entities, provided the<br />

share subscription has been received by way of foreign inward remittance and the overall issue of shares by<br />

the company to non-residents in the total paid –up capital does not exceed the sectoral cap for the company.<br />

Option to receive Equity Shares in Dematerialized Form<br />

Applicants to the Equity Shares of our Company issued through this Issue shall be allotted the securities in<br />

dematerialised (electronic) form at the option of the applicant. Our Company has signed agreements dated<br />

March 24, 2005 and March 03, 2005 with NSDL and CDSL respectively, which enables the Investors to hold<br />

and trade in securities in a dematerialised form, instead of holding the securities in the form of physical<br />

certificates.<br />

In this Issue, the allottees who have opted for Equity Shares in dematerialised form will receive their Equity<br />

Shares in the form of an electronic credit to their beneficiary account with a depository participant. The CAF<br />

shall contain space for indicating number of shares applied for in demat and physical form or both. Investor will<br />

have to give the relevant particulars for this purpose in the appropriate place in the CAF. Applications, which do<br />

not accurately contain this information, will be given the securities in physical form. Separate applications for<br />

securities in physical and/or dematerialized form should be made. Separate applications are made, the<br />

application for physical securities will be treated as multiple applications and is liable to be rejected. In case of<br />

partial allotment, allotment will be done in demat option for the shares sought in demat and balance, if any, will<br />

be allotted in physical shares.<br />

The Equity Shares of our Company will be listed on the BSE<br />

Procedure for availing the facility for allotment of Equity Shares in this Issue in the electronic form is as under:<br />

1 Open a beneficiary account with any depository participant (care should be taken that the beneficiary<br />

account should carry the name of the holder in the same manner as is exhibited in the records of our<br />

Company. In the case of joint holding, the beneficiary account should be opened carrying the names of<br />

the holders in the same order as with our Company). In case of Investors having various folios in our<br />

Company with different joint holders, the Investors will have to open separate accounts for such<br />

holdings. Those Equity Shareholders who have already opened such Beneficiary Account (s) need not<br />

adhere to this step.<br />

2 For Equity Shareholders already holding Equity Shares of our Company in dematerialized form as on<br />

the Record Date, the beneficial account number shall be printed on the CAF. For those who open<br />

accounts later or those who change their accounts and wish to receive their Equity Shares by way of<br />

credit to such account, the necessary details of their beneficiary account should be filled in the space<br />

provided in the CAF. It may be noted that the allotment of Equity Shares arising out of this Issue may<br />

be made in dematerialized form even if the original Equity Shares of our Company are not<br />

dematerialized. Nonetheless, it should be ensured that the Depository Account is in the name(s) of the<br />

Equity Shareholders and the names are in the same order as in the records of our Company.<br />

Responsibility for correctness of information (including applicant’s age and other details) filled in the CAF visà-vis<br />

such information with the applicant’s depository participant, would rest with the applicant. Applicants<br />

should ensure that the names of the applicants and the order in which they appear in CAF should be the same as<br />

registered with the applicant’s depository participant.<br />

If incomplete / incorrect beneficiary account details are given in the CAF or where the investor does not opt to<br />

receive the Rights Equity shares in dematerialized form, the applicant will get Equity Shares in physical form.<br />

Applicants must necessarily fill in the details (including the beneficiary account number or client ID number)<br />

appearing in the CAF under the heading ‘Request for shares in Electronic Form’.<br />

Applicants should ensure that the names of the Applicants and the order in which they appear in the CAF should<br />

be the same as registered with the Applicant’s depository participant.<br />

The Rights Equity Shares pursuant to this Issue allotted to investors opting for dematerialized form, would be<br />

directly credited to the beneficiary account as given in the CAF after verification. Allotment advice, refund<br />

order (if any) would be sent directly to the applicant by the Registrar to the Issue but the applicant’s depository<br />

participant will provide to him the confirmation of the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s depository<br />

account.<br />

238

conclusive evidence of the debt.<br />

shall from time to time be due from any Member to the Company in respect of his<br />

shares, either by way of principal of interest, nor any indulgence granted by the<br />

Company from thereafter proceeding to enforce a forfeiture of such shares as<br />

hereinafter provided.<br />

Member willing to advance the same, all or any part of the amounts of his<br />

respective shares beyond the sums, actually called up and upon the moneys so<br />

paid in advance, or upon so much thereof, from time to time, and at any time<br />

thereafter as exceeds the amount of the calls then made upon and due in respect of<br />

the shares on account of which such advances are made the Board may pay or<br />

allow interest, at such rate as the Member paying sum in advance and the Board<br />

agree upon. The Board may agree to repay at any time any amount so advanced or<br />

may at any time repay the same upon giving to the member three month’s notice<br />

in writing. Provided that mone4ys paid in advance of calls on any shares may<br />

carry interest but shall not confer a right to dividend or to participate in profits.<br />

(whether presently payable or not) called or payable at a fixed time in respect of<br />

such shares, and no equitable interest in any share shall be created except upon the<br />

footing and upon the condition that Article 23 hereof is to have full effect. And<br />

such lien shall extend to all dividends from time to time declared in respect of<br />

such shares. Unless otherwise agreed the registration of a transfer of shares shall<br />

operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien, if any, on such shares.<br />

40. For the purpose of enforcing such lien, the Board may sell the shares<br />

subject thereto in such manner as they shall think fit, and for that purpose may<br />

cause to be issued duplicate certificate in respect of such shares and may authorise<br />

one of their number to execute a transfer thereof on behalf of and in the name of<br />

such Member. No sale shall be made until such period as aforesaid shall have<br />

arrived, and until notice in writing of the intention to sell shall have been served<br />

on such member or his representatives and default shall have been made by him<br />

or them in the payment, fulfillment, or discharge of such debts, liabilities or<br />

engagements for fourteen days after such notice.<br />

effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared or any other moneys<br />

payable in respect of the forfeited shares and not actually paid before the<br />

forfeiture.<br />

45. When any shares shall have been so forfeited notice of the forfeiture shall<br />

be given to the Member in whose name it stood immediately prior to the<br />

forfeiture, and an entry of the forfeiture, with the date thereof, shall forthwith be<br />

made in the Register of Members, but no forfeiture shall be in any manner<br />

with these Articles on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive<br />

evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to<br />

the shares. Such declaration and the receipt of the Company for the consideration,<br />

if any, given for the share on the sale or disposal thereof shall constitute a good<br />

title to such shares and the person to whom the shares are sold shall be registered<br />

as the holder of such shares and shall not be bound to see to the application of the<br />

255
