RATING KEY

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D&B’s Rating consists of two parts, the Financial Strength and the Composite Appraisal / Condition.

Financial Strength is an indication of the tangible networth (that is, the shareholder’s funds less any

intangible assets). The Composite Appraisal / Condition is linked to the level of risk and is an overall

evaluation of credit worthiness. It takes into account the financial condition and several factors such as trade

reference history, legal structure, management experience and any adverse listings.

D&B Indicative Risk Rating of 4A2 implies that the Entity has a tangible networth between INR

129,190,000 and INR 645,949,999 as per latest available audited financial statements. Composite appraisal 2

indicates that the overall status of the Entity is good.

COUNTRY RISK SNAPSHOT

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any firm, entity or individual who conducts cross-border transactions is exposed to country risk, the risk

associated with a country's overall political, economic and commercial performance. D&B’s Country Risk

Indicator(DCRI) provides a comparative, cross-border assessment of the risk of doing business in a

country. Essentially, the DCRI seeks to encapsulate the risk that country-wide factors pose to the

predictability of export payments and investment returns over a time horizon of two years. The DCRI

comprises a composite index of four over arching country risk categories:

a) Political Risk

b) Commercial Risk

c) Macroeconomic Risk

d) External risk

The DCRI is divided into seven bands, ranging from DB1 through DB7. Each band is subdivided into

quartiles (a-d), with an 'a' designation representing slightly less risk than a 'b' designation and so on. Only the

DB7 indicator is not divided into quartiles.

The DCRI is supplemented with a rating trend, which encapsulates whether the risk environment in a

country is improving, deteriorating or stable.

DCRI Degree of Risk Explanation

DB1 Lowest RiskLowest degree of uncertainty associated with expected returns, such as export payments and foreign debt

and equity servicing.

DB2 Low RiskLow degree of uncertainty associated with expected returns. However, country-wide factors may result in

higher volatility of returns at a future date.

DB3 Slight RiskEnough uncertainty over expected returns to warrant close monitoring of country risk. Customers should

actively manage their risk exposures.

DB4 Moderate RiskSignificant uncertainty over expected returns. Risk-averse customers are advised to protect against potential

losses.

DB5 High Risk Considerable uncertainty associated with expected returns. Businesses are advised to limit their exposure

and/or select high-return transactions only.

DB6 Very High Risk Expected returns subject to large degree of volatility. A very high expected return is required to compensate

for the additional risk or the cost of hedging such risk.

DB7 Highest Risk Returns are almost impossible to predict with any accuracy. Business infrastructure has, in effect, broken

down.

Improving hIndicates that the country's overall risk profile is improving as a result of favourable political, commercial, economic and /

or external developments.

Deteriorating iIndicates that the country's overall risk profile is deteriorating owing to adverse political, commercial, economic and / or

external developments.

Stable nIndicates that the country's overall risk has not changed appreciably, even though some minor changes to its political,

commercial, macro-economic, and / or external risk environment may have occurred.

PROFIT

Gross profit margin

Gross profit margin of the Entity declined from 28.88% in FY 2011 to 22.17% in FY 2012 mainly on

account of increase in cost of materials and finished goods consumed as a percentage of revenue from

51.63% in FY 2011 to 58.06% in FY 2012. However, gross profit margin increased to 34.90% in FY 2013

as a result of decline in cost of materials and finished goods as a percentage of revenue consumed to

45.48%. As informed, the cost of materials and finished goods consumed was volatile due to changes in

prices of leather.

Operating profit margin

Operating profit margin of the Entity declined from 22.82% in FY 2011 to 15.56% in FY 2012 owing to

decline in gross profit margin coupled with increase in repairs and maintenance expenses as a percentage

of revenue from 1.85% in FY 2011 to 4.01% in FY 2012. The operating margin increased to 26.41% in FY

2013 due to increase in gross profit margin.

Net profit margin

Net profit margin of the Entity declined from 23.24% in FY 2011 to 17.15% in FY 2012 on account of

decline in operating profit margin. However, net profit margin increased to 21.69% in FY 2013 mainly due

to increase in operating profit margin in FY 2012. This increase in operating profit margin was partially

offset by increase in interest expenditure as a percentage of revenue from 0.47% in FY 2012 to 5.55% in FY

2013.

expenditure and accumulated losses, if any. It increased in FY 2012 on account of retention of profits in the

business. Further, it declined, in FY 2013 on account of drawing in excess of profit during the year by the

partners.

Capital employed comprises tangible networth and total debt. It increased in FY 2012 due to increase in

tangible networth. It increased, further in FY 2013, despite decline in tangible networth, on account of new

bank loan availed for working capital.

Total Debt Equity Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio

Total debt equity ratio is calculated as total debt divided by tangible networth. The Entity was debt free as on

31st March 2011. Debt equity ratio increased marginally in FY 2012 due to bank overdraft used by the

Entity. However, it increased to 1.47 in FY 2013 owing to substantial increase in total debt coupled with

decline in tangible networth. The Entity availed working capital loan from bank of INR 349,371 Thousand.

However, as informed, bank loan outstanding as on 25th September 2013 was INR 80,000 thousand and it

will be entirely repaid by end of October 2013.

Interest coverage ratio indicates the adequacy of EBIT of the Entity to cover its interest obligations.

There was no interest expense in FY 2011 and it was very marginal in FY 2012. However, in FY 2013

BUSINESS SCOPE REPORT

P.S. Daima and Sons - 39 -

Key Strengths

Experienced management

Mr. Sushil Kumar Daima and Mr. Surinder Kumar Daima, partners of the Entity have more than 25 years of

experience in the related field. This relevant experience and business networking facilitates in driving the

business of the Entity.

Long and established relationship with its customers

The Entity supplies a range of leather products, nylon and cotton cords to its customers. It has long and

established relations with Helby Import Co., Pandora Production Company Limited, Melever Fashion ACC,

Ashro Inc. with average relationship of around 10 years and derives 51% of total revenue from these

customers. This long term relationship provides revenue visibility to the Entity.

Stable revenue growth with high margins

Revenue of the Entity increased by 13.93% and 12.72 % in FY 2012 and FY 2013 respectively. The Entity

was able to maintain the revenue growth despite decline in revenue from bead products. Revenue from bead

products declined due to it becoming out of fashion. The Entity managed to keep the revenue growth due to

its change in focus to new products like leather jewellery. Though the margins were volatile due to changes

in raw material prices and product mix, those remained at comfortable level. Operating profit margin of the

Entity increased from 22.82% in FY 2011 to 26.41% in FY 2013. Though, it declined in FY 2012, was still

at comfortable level at 15.56%. Net profit margin was also in the comfortable range between 17.15% -

23.24%.

Key Constraints

High inventory and advances to suppliers resulting in stretched working capital cycle

The Entity maintained inventory on average of around 9 months during the review period. As informed, the

irregular supply of raw materials specifically leather compels it to procure and store bulk quantity of raw

materials. Further, leather being moisture sensitive needs special storage and temperature control facilities.

Also, as informed, the Entity needs to pay 2 months advance payments to suppliers to ensure availability of

qualitative and smooth supply of leather. Though, in turn, the Entity receives advances of 30% of order

value from customers, thus mitigating the cash flow mismatch. High inventory level and large funds being

blocked in advances to suppliers resulted in stretched working capital cycle during the review period.

Working capital cycle was high in the range of 204 days to 309 days during review period. Stretched

working capital cycle may lead to short term borrowings to fund short term liquidity gap.

Demand subject to economic cycles and changes in fashion

The Entity is engaged in manufacturing of leather and leather products, beads, cotton and nylon cords.

Demand for beads, one of the major products of the Entity declined sharply during the review period due to

it becoming out of fashion. All the major products of the Entity are subject to cyclical nature of demand due

to changes in fashion and economic cycles. Further, the Entity needs to constantly keep itself updated with

changes in fashion and customize the products as per latest designs.

BUSINESS SCOPE REPORT

P.S. Daima and Sons - 40 -

Volatility in raw material prices leading to volatile margins and returns

Prices of raw material especially leather are dependent on supply of raw leather which is volatile and subject

to regulations related export and import, environmental laws and demand and supply gap in domestic

market. Cost of raw materials and finished goods consumed formed an average 52% of revenue of the Entity

during review period. Also, margins of the Entity remained volatile due to fluctuation in cost of raw

materials consumed. Volatile margins resulted in volatility in returns of the Entity as per table below. Hence,

the ability of the Entity to pass on the increase in prices of raw materials is critical.

PROFITABILITY RATIOS 2011 2012 2013

Gross Profit Margin (%) 28.88 22.17 34.90

Operating Profit Margin (%) 22.82 15.56 26.41

Net Profit Margin (%) 23.24 17.15 21.69

Return on Tangible Networth (%) 21.61 16.62 28.42

Return on Capital Employed (%) 21.63 16.78 14.45

Foreign currency rate fluctuation risk

The Entity earns its entire revenue from the overseas market and it procures around 95% of its raw materials

from domestic market. As informed, the Entity does not enter into any forward cover or derivatives to hedge

its foreign currency exposure. As movement in exchange rates is determined by various macro-economic

factors which are beyond the control of the Entity and considering the current volatility in foreign exchange

rates, the ability of the Entity to hedge its foreign exchange risk remains critical.

Concentrated customer base

The Entity earns around 51% of its revenue from its top 3 customers, namely Ashro Inc., Pandora

Production Company Limited, Hoapon Development. Major customers of the Entity are departmental stores

or wholesalers / distributors. This exposes the entity to customer concentration risk. Also, the strong

bargaining power of its customers due to intense competition is also a concern. However, as informed, the

Entity has long and established relations with major customers and business networking of the partners helps

the Entity to add new customers thereby reducing customer concentration risk.

Compliance with government regulations

The Government, in order to curb illegal export of semi processed leather and raw material export of leather

has mandated all exporters to get leather products certified by Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI).

The exporters need to comply with guidelines of CLRI. Earlier, the certification by CLRI was optional but

now it has been made mandatory for certification from June 2013. Further the Entity needs to comply with

laws related to environmental protection. However, the Entity has been certified for complying with ISO

14001:2001 in recognition of the Entity’s environmental management system.

Key sensitivity factors

Ability to maintain gearing at reasonable levels

Debt equity ratio of the Entity increased from nil in FY 2011 to 1.47 times as on 31st March 2013 due to

increase in borrowing for funding working capital. As informed, the bank loan was availed by pledging

personal investments of partners and bank loans outstanding as on 25th September 2013 is of INR 80,000

thousand and will repay entire remainder loan by end of October 2013 through proceeds from personal

savings of the partners. However, considering the working capital intensity of operations, ability of the

Entity to maintain gearing at reasonable levels is critical.
