This textile processing unit of SITE, Manghopir Road Karachi again suffered loss for the second year. This is an export oriented unit and expectations are that there will be turn around. Instead of loss it could be in a break-even position but for higher financial charges its results skidded steeply. More over there were higher depreciation charges because of enlarged fixed assets base due to the implementation of BMR.
But the brighter side of the scenario is that the BMR implementation has provided enabling environment to avail opportunities or face challenges under the WTO regime.
Furthermore, the successful negotiation of rescheduling and restructuring of bank obligations has created an atmosphere of optimism in the enterprise. To further ease the tense situation the sponsor directors have planned to inject funds amounting to Rs 120-140 million in the shape of long term loan. Hopefully the price of share may rise further from Rs 16.05/share.
Nina Industries Limited was incorporated as a private limited company in the province of Sindh on February 18, 1992. It was subsequently converted into public limited company on October 29, 1997 and listed on Karachi Stock Exchange in the same year. This is a textile-processing unit, which is mainly engaged in exports. The processing facilities and registered office of the company are situated at A-29/A, S.I.T.E. Karachi.
During the year under reviewed, (FY July 2003-June 2004), the company made additions in the fixed assets in the sum of Rs 168.52 (2003:382) millions which was mostly booked for plant and machinery. The additions were made due to the implementation of expansion and BMR plans which provides enabling environment for the company to face the challenges of the year 2005.
However there is another side of its impact as one of the causes of the loss in the company is the incremental financial charges applied on borrowings for recent BMR as well as depreciation charged on the assets capitalised in the previous year. In order to ease the financial burden of the company, the sponsor directors also planned to inject additional funds to the tune of Rs 120-140 million in the form of long term loan by the close of the year 2004.
The company has been successful in getting rescheduled and restructured its financial obligations from various institutional creditors. Reduction in mark-up rates has also been accorded, the effect of which has been taken in the financial statements. This will be further reflected in the financial statements of the ensuing periods.
During the year under review the company posted net sales at Rs 1205.99 million as compared to Rs 1716.44 million of previous year showing decline by Rs 510.45 million. The main reason for the reduction in net sales.
Some international market segments periodically remained in active although later on normalisation started and it is hoped this scenario will be further normalised in the ensuing period.
The majority of the customers expect drop in prices due to the advent of WTO regime in the year 2005 when they are likely to place orders for the whole year programme.
Non-availability of quota during first two quarters and increase in yarn and grey prices during the third quarter resulted in deferment of some export orders for renegotiations of prices.
Despite lower sales revenue, the company's gross profit increased by 0.77% to Rs 189.31 million from Rs 187.87 million. This was mainly due to increase in the gross margin.
Fortunately, general and administrative expenses plus selling and distribution expenses were down by Rs 10.1 million. Hence operating profit increased by Rs 11.84 million to Rs 118.93 from Rs 107.09 million in the previous year.
Unfortunately higher financial charges could not be fully absorbed which turned the bottom line into the red. The pre-tax loss was substantially higher at Rs 53.33 million. The company booked net loss after taxation at Rs 62.51 million as compared for net loss after taxation at Rs 6.44 million posted in the previous year.
Consecutive two years' losses have reduced its unappropriated profit from Rs 166.56 million to Rs 118.24 million.
The Nina Industries share price closed at Rs 16.05 per share carrying 60.5% premium over the par value.
