THE MEMBERS OF

THANGAMAYIL JEWELLERY LIMITED

The Directors are pleased to present the 18th Annual Report and the Audited Statementof Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2018.

1. FINANCIAL RESULTS:

Pursuant to the notification dated February 16 2015 issued by the Ministry ofcorporate affairs the company has adopted the Indian Accounting Standards (''IndAS") notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 witheffect from April 1 2017. Financial statements for the year ended and as at March 312017 have been restated to conform to Ind AS.

On a turnover of Rs.137929 lakhs for the year the Company made an operating profit ofRs. 12818 lakhs against Rs. 10894 lakhs made in last year. It represents 18% increaseover the last year.

The better results are due to stable gold price realisation and also due to bettermarketing initiatives under taken by the management. The company could perform better dueto margin expansion resulted on account of better product mix sales. It is also marginallyattributable to better volume of diamond ornaments on a comparable basis with last year.

You may notice that our top line growth over a period of four years remains in a narrowband. However due to various initiatives taken by the management the value addition tothe products sold continuously improved from 3.75% in 2015 to 9.30% in 2018 resulting inthe gross profit growth of 150% in the four years period.

Your management is continuously focusing on bottom line growth more thanproportionately that of turnover growth and believes on the importance of areas of valuecreation by optimally exploring all the resources at its disposal. While we plan to pushthe top line by enlarging market share of the business moderately your management alsostrives to maintain the pricing power in a crowded place of competitive environment. Thecompany consciously decided not to expand branches in haste and strategically played onthe brand visibility created over two decades of operations by enlarging the size andinventory of the existing branches one by one for gettng improved results.

You may find from the financials that our size of Balance sheet significantly increasedin 17-18 and the fruits of the enlarged Balance sheet would be positively felt in the yearto come. To achieve results going forward a business plan will be implemented with abetter product mix diamond sales promotion capital productivity improvement andretention of scale of economy to attain improved operating margin.

The major reasons for better bottom line performance are summarized hereunder;

+ Stable gold price realisation throughout the year.

+ Paradigm shift taken place in marketi'ng& promotional initiatives.

+ Improved production from own manufacturing units.

+ Higher level of metal loan resultant in interest savings.

+ Relaunching of old branches with a view to get facelift and better visibility ofbrand. + Better contribution from diamond sales.

+ Change in product mix to get optimum result on inventory management.

2.KEY STRATEGIES ADOPTED BY THE MANAGEMENT

+ Savings in making cost of jewellery due to change in procurement plan.

+ Cost of finance and promotional expenses were relatively reduced.

+ The commitments of carrying " Right product for Right Market" that resultedin sales growth.

+ Improvement in "same store" growth in turnover

+ Planned improvement in gross profit margin by optimizing all resources of theCompany.

3. DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors of the Company are pleased to recommend a dividend of Rs.3.50/-(35%) per equity share for 2017-18 ('2 in 201617) on 13719582 equity shares of Rs.10each. The proposed dividend is subject to the approval of shareholders in the ensuingAnnual General Meeting of the company will result in cash outflow of Rs.579 lakhsincluding Dividend Distribution tax there on.

4.HEDGING

The company started availing more loan under metal loan category. It acted as a naturalhedge for the fluctuations in the gold price movement. Currently the hedge ratio isaround 65:35 as against 50% of the last year. The increase in "Hedging"proportion for the current year augers well for the company. It is our endeavour to takein to 75:25 in future. Some portion of gold under own purchases is a necessity as suddenescalation in gold price often results in liquidity mismatch due to increase in margincalls. Based on our experience and the current gold price movement trend we are of theopinion that the ratio at the most can go up to 75:25 in the overall business /operational interest of the company.

5. CONTINUING CHALLENGES

+ Frequent failure of gold companies to meet their liabilities in the recent past makesthe industry to suffer for credit entitlements from Banks;

+ Exceptional regulatory mechanism placed by the Government on the industry;

+ Current account gap in trade perhaps as in the past may bring restrictions in thegold import by the Government.

+ Possible restrictions on gold retail industry in taking customer advances for futuredelivery post passing of regulatory bill by the parliament.

+ Highly fluctuating gold price movement necessitate both on account of incrementalgold price and also on account of INR-US$ currency behaviour;

+ Enlarged risks associated with bank credit exposure to the industry may compel areduction in credit rating by the credit rating agencies;

+ Monsoon failures structural changes witnessed in the saving / spending habits of thepeople escalation in the minimum wage Act and Income tax regulatory constraints maycumulatively affect the growth and operations of the industry.

6. FUTURE PROSPECTS

+ Due to strict implementation of regulatory matters the trade would become moreresponsible & disciplined in future. We are also able to see a clear shift in thepolarization impact in the industry.

+ The year went by clearly demonstrated your Company's potentials to improve"same store sales" with better top line and bottom line impact while strivinghard to improve the gross margin in operations.

+ The inherent strength of the business model comprising of substantial sales of silverornaments and a moderate improvement in Diamond sales to cover a part of the fixed overheads and to improve the margin of safety while bringing down the BEP level consistentlyis explored for sustenance of growth.

+ In general expanding gross margin better expected stock turnover times improved"same store sales" and planned reduction in per gram "cost of sales"of gold ornaments will go a long way in sustaining the growth while improving theprofitability of the company.

+ Barring unforeseen circumstances the current year 2018-19 would see a moderate butsustainable growth in performance on all fronts.

Key performance indicators to look at for future;

+ Increase in same store sales. Almost all outlets brought in improved sales in 17-18.

+ Diamond sales in value have gone up from Rs. 236 lakhs to Rs. 554 lakhs in 17-18.

+ Operating profit margin improved by 90 bps points due to better product-mixrealization.

+ Net profit before tax also improved by 98 bps due to better cost management andsavings in interest outgoes;

+ Your Company will focus in further improvement of these factors to improve theoverall profitability.

7. POSITIVE IMPACT OF BALANCE SHEET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The proactive steps taken in the past to reduce dependence on bank barrowings startedto yield better results. The company consistently substituted costlier working capitalfacilities with metal loan advance from customers and bill discounting facilities. Theeffective cost of funds got reduced as seen from below given chart in the past 4 years;

Limit Used vs Interest Payout Rs.. (In lakhs)

Franchisee Model

For the first time your company is exploring the avenues for furtherance of businesswith the help of franchisee model. The company is already working on the modalities ofthat model by properly evaluating risk/ reward potentials. Your board is of the opinionatleast on an experimental basis two/ three newly contemplated outlet may be tried withthe franchisee model in the current year 2018-19. The progress in this direction as andwhen put to operation will be informed to the shareholders at appropriate time.

The net internal accruals expected out of operations will be deployed back intobusiness to improve the profits of the company in the years to come.

8. DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES

As expected in the last year report Deferred tax assets was fully absorbed by thecompany. From Rs. 547 lakhs deferred tax assets of last year it got changed to DeferredTax liabilities of Rs.159 lakhs. Under the previous GAAP deferred tax accounting is doneusing income statement approach which focuses on differences between taxable profits andaccounting profits for the period. Ind AS 12 Income Taxes requires to account for deferredtaxes using the balance sheet approach which focuses on temporary differences between thecarrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base. Theapplication of Ind AS 12 approach has resulted in recognition of deferred tax on temporarydifferences which were not required under previous GAAP in addition to the varioustemporary differences consequent to Ind AS transitional adjustments. Consequentlydeferred tax assets (net) is reduced by Rs.216 lakhs as at 1st April 2016 and total equitydecreased by Rs.216 lakhs as at 1st April 2017.

9. CONTRIBUTION TO EXCHEQUER

The Company is a regular payer of taxes and other duties to the Government. The Companyhas paid Value Added Tax and GST of Rs. 3396 lakhs as compared to Rs. 1242 lakhs paid inthe previous year and Advance income tax of Rs. 738 lakhs for financial year 2017-18.

The capital work in progress amount outstanding as on 31st March 2018 is Rs. 87 lakhs.This is comprising of interiors and other assets still to be put in use and yet to becapitalised.

For the previous year we capitalized Rs. 441 lakhs to our gross block comprising Rs.349 lakhs for Plant & Machinery and Furniture & Fiffings and others and thebalance of Rs. 92 lakhs for Computer Equipments including Software.

11. FINANCE

In continuation of last year this year is the best year wherein the quantum ofabsolute reduction is commensurate with the quantum of loan exposure. The interest coverratio has also improved to 3.27 times due to better inventory utilization in this year.

Due to continued thrust and efforts made by the company interest outgo for every gramof gold ornaments sold to be lower than 17-18 in the years to come.

The secured working capital borrowings of the company as at 31st March 2018 stood upRs. 20896 lakhs as against Rs. 13586 lacs in the previous year. The existing sanctionedlimits along with bill discounting limit of Rs. 1000 lakhs aggregating to Rs. 25000lakhs is sufficient to take care of current year requirement of the company. Out of Rs.3000 lacs term loan obtained from Karur Vysya Bank only a sum of Rs. 208 lakhs remains tobe paid. It is pertinent to note that your company repaid term loan ahead of the scheduleof repayment and currently has Rs. 208 lakhs as against Rs. 3000 lakhs borrowed as longterm loan from bank.

The eligible fixed deposits from public & shareholders is Rs. 5302 lakhs. Howeverthe company took only Rs. 4686 lakhs as deposits as at 31st March 2018. Besides thepromoters brought in a sum of Rs. 1240 lakhs at lower interest rate of 6% per annum tosupport the Company as long term funds. In all the liquidity position is quite sound andcomfortable.

Monsoon

Monsoon failure for successive years in southern parts of Tamilnadu adversely affectedthe company's business.

This has resulted in demand compression and led to aperiod of continuous recession unparalleled in the recent history of jewellery trade.Dwindling customer demands and purchase of other electronic goods by the customers haveresulted in purchase of ornaments generally coming down in jewellery business. This hasresulted in customer opting for light weight items. The company has decided to stock moreof such items in order to get better share from sagging market as in the last year.

Change in lifestyle
