IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS


    Although there has been a rise in the Current Ratio from the previous year but still since 2008-09, the ratio has
    consistently being out of ideal range which is causing a liquidity crunch situation thus creating more pressure on
    the cash utilisation of the company.
    Quick Ratio is even in more critical condition, it is not only decreasing from previous year but also far short of
    what ideal ratio is considered. This raises a formidable questions on the short term solvency of the company
    again putting a tremendous pressure on the cash utilization of the company in the short run.
    On the other hand an increasing Days Inventory Outstanding(DIO) from the previous year shows that the
    company is feeling pressure of converting inventories into cash or even receivables leading to rise in stock in
    trade and further putting pressure on liquidity of the company keeping investor’s money largely on risk.
    Therefore Company looks inefficient in managing its important working capital assets




 As evident from the Current and Quick Ratio above, the Company’s liquidity issue is making cash trapped for a
 longer time. Efforts from the company needs to be done on this front therefore the company can either increase its
 Current Assets or rather should put its efforts to reduce its Current Investments in order to increase the ratios. In
 short Current Assets should be enough to cover its Current Liabilities as currently Current Assets are inappropriate to
 pay out all its Current Liabilities.
 The Company should put efforts to convert inventories into cash or account receivables so that cash from inventory
 sale is paid further to its suppliers for goods and services. Increasing DIO shows that the Company’s products are
 either failing to attract customers or the demand of the Company’s product is decreasing thereby reducing or
 squeezing cash availability.
IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS


    The fall in Gross Profit Margin Ratio has signaled on the fact that the company has not efficiently utilized its
    labour, raw materials and manufacturing related fixed assets to generate profits thus leading to fall in the value
    of the Gross Profit.
    On the other hand fall in Operating Profit Margin Ratio and Operating Profit together evidences the fact that
    company has failed to control its selling and general and administrative expenses and thus leading to loss in
    operating profit.
    Further fall in Net Profit Margin Ratio supports the above mentioned Operating Profit Margin Ratio and Gross
    Margin Ratio that Company’s profit has depleted due to lack efficient control of direct and indirect expenses.
    A fall in Return on Assets(ROA) from the previous year shows that the management has remained inefficient in
    employing the Company’s Total Assets to make a profit on it or rather earn a higher return on it.




 As evident from the Gross, Operating and Net Profit Ratio above, the Company has struggled with efficiently
 utilizing its direct and indirect expenses therefore company should find certain ways to curb its expenses to boost its
 profit and to have a control over its day to day operations as the above fall in the ratios is also evidencing the fact to
 the deficiencies in the Management decision making process too.
 Company in order to improve its ROA should evolve certain ways to boost its returns on the assets available with it.
IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS


    Rise in Debt Ratio and Debt Equity from previous year in both Alone and Consolidated format shows that the
    company’s dependence on the leverage has increased because the Company has seen a tremendous increase in
    the liabilities as compared to assets and mostly the debt part of the liabilities.
    On the other hand rise in the Capitalization Ratio from the previous year indicate the investment quality of the
    company. Further it shows the increasing dependence of the Company on the long term debt.
    Further fall in Cash Flow to Debt Ratio which shows that Company’s cash flow is not efficiently utilized to serve
    its total debt and also the weak cash flow situation which affects the cash generation and operation of the
    company.




 As evident from the Debt Ratio, Debt Equity Ratio and Capitalization Ratio, Company should reduce its dependence
 on leverage i.e. Debt so as to reduce the risks involved in it as compared to its Equity therefore Company should
 reduce or dispose some of its Debts on both the long and short term one’s with as quickly as possible as it is also
 having a negative impact on the profit of the Company (from interest expenses) .
 Company should either generate enough cash to improve its weak cash flow situation or should again most
 probably as mentioned above should severely take certain actions to reduce the abundance of Debt taken by the
 Company to realise some pressures on the cash.
IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS


    The fall in SSL alone in the Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio form the previous year shows that especially SSL alone as
    a company has been inefficient in managing its Fixed Assets, therefore failing to convert the Company’s Fixed
    Asset are failing to generate sales and hence causing reduced sales when compared to the amount invested on
    the purchase of the Fixed Asset.
    Accompanying the above ratio, the fall in the Company’s Asset Turnover Ratio form the previous year also
    shows that company has been inefficient in managing its Total Assets too, and hence Assets of the Company is
    not generating enough cash in proportion to its investment value.




 As evident from the falling Fixed Assets and Total Assets Ratios, Company should find ways to generate enough cash
 in proportion to its investment value.
IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS


    The fall in Operating Cash Flow to Sales Ratio from the previous year is signaling to the fact that the Company
    has conducted majority of its sales in credit, hence impacting a cash shortage situation.
    Accompanying the above ratio, the fall in Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow to Sales Ratio from the previous
    year have also shown that there is insufficient cash available by the company for further acquisitions or
    expansions required. Therefore boosting yet more cash crunch situation.
    Further, fall in Short Term Debt and Capital Expenditure and Capital Expenditure Coverage Ratios leading to
    insufficient cash to cover or service either the Short Term obligations as well as Capital Expenditure requirements
    by the Company also consolidates the fact of substantial cash crisis problem.




 As evident from the falling above mentioned ratios, it is very important for the company find ways to resolve its cash
 crisis situations whether in increasing cash sales or reducing its operating expenditures so as to leave with the
 company enough cash to cover its both short and long term obligations regarding debts or acquisitions or expansions
 or any other further Capital expenditures as and when required.
IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS


   PEG Ratio of 8 shows that the Company’s stocks are overvalued and hence it is expected by the investors that
   the prices are going to fall the market’s current valuation.
   Further, the fall in Company’s Dividend Yield shows that the dividend in relation to its per share value trading
   has decreased from the previous year.




 Company’s PEG Ratio shows Company’s stock to be overvalued as compared to the market valuation therefore
 efforts should be made from the company to reach as close to the market valuation as possible.
 Further Company’s Dividend Yield is not in its fine shape hence Dividend declared and paid out as compared to the
 share price traded should be reevaluated so as to be in consonant with the trading share price.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 A rising trend in Operating is indicating to the fact that the company is continuously failing to grasp and
 attract the potential customers entering the store and converting their product seeking into purchasing it
 from the store.
 A similar falling trend in Like to Like Sales Volume shows that comparing this year's sales to last year's
 sales in the company there has been a fall which also continues in further upcoming quarters.
 Although an increase in the Private Label Mix has been noticed but more importantly the fall in the
 Private Label Sales shows that the products being sold by the company under the brand name of other
 companies are registering a fall and puts a question on the same.




Company should pay attention to increase the people visiting on store into potential customers, which will need
improved efforts from both the front end employees and also the attractiveness of the merchandise and services
either by introducing certain schemes or discounts or concessions together with the efficient customer service to lure
the visitors.
The products being sold by the company under the brand name of other companies are registering a fall and the
company should seriously think about the feasibility of continuing the same practice.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A falling trend in Gross Marginal Return on Floor, Inventory and Labour, clearly suggest that the
Company’s efficiency regarding labour and inventory productivity is declining consistently thus effecting
sales altogether of the company as well as the investments made on the inventory too.




Company should pay attention to increase its labour and inventory productivity by increasing various
initiatives to encourage the employees to produce greater results as well as thinking ways to place
investments on inventory in an efficient manner.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 A rising trend in Operating Expenses is a major concern for the Company. A bigger factor contributing
 to it are the tremendous hikes in Finance Charges during the year which are so severe that it has a taken
 a heavy toll out of the profits of the company too and hence blocking lot of cash within itself so as to be
 left for other obligations or expenditures.
 Consolidating the above fact, the Profit before and after tax of the Company and its other Associate
 Companies have bore the brunt of the above mentioned expenses.




Company should with immediate effect find ways to decrease the expenses especially the finance charges which are
consuming way too much cash available by the company therefore leading to a cash crisis situation and blocking
other major Capital expenditure or even short term obligations.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 Short and Long Term Secured and Unsecured Loans & Advances by the Company have seen a growth to
 both its Associate Companies and others under severe cash crisis situations which again have not been
 beneficial for the Company and therefore it raises the basic questions on its existence, prudence, timing
 and appropriateness itself. Also evidencing to the above fact Auditors in the Audit Report of financial
 year 2011-12 have also raised the questions regarding on the prejudicial interest of the Company by
 granting of an Unsecured Loans to a party on terms and conditions of such loan.
 Auditors of the Company in its Audit Report of financial year 2011-12, has mentioned in their opinion
 itself that inspite of the opportunity substantial part of Fixed Assets have not been disposed of during
 the year which might have served an extra source of cash generation or rather would have relived the
 Balance Sheet to certain extent .




Company should revisit and rethink about the prudence and feasibility of the extent and terms and conditions of
granting loans and advances to the other Companies especially at the crucial time when the Company is struggling to
maintain cash and profits for its own obligations and expenditures.
Company should dispose of the Fixed Asset whether scrapped or obsolete or otherwise wherever it is correct and
possible so as to generate certain cash if possible or to create enough space in the Balance Sheet to add on other
assets to its pool.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

   Short Term Borrowings, Trade Payables and Other Current Liabilities have all risen from the previous year
   which shows the on the one hand Company’s rising obligations whereas on the other hand increasing
   influence of Creditors and Borrowers on the functioning of the Company, which are both further
   mounting pressures on profits and cash.




Company should invent and innovate more ways to settle their obligations and relieve the Company from severe Debt
ridden phase thereby making provisions and generating enough cash to fulfill all future and current obligations.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

  Market analysis of trading history of SSL at NSE in 2011-12 showed that on particular months like July,
  August, October, December and February during the period the prices of the company fell and at times
  fell to a substantial amount impacting volumes and turnovers of the Company.
  There was no such evidence found during the study of its Annual report and part thereof that clearly
  mentions that the Special Resolutions for ESOPs during 2010-11 and 2011-12 was passed in Annual
  General Meeting(AGM) of the Company. However the company has granted ESOPs as on 24th March
  2010 and 29th April 2011.
  As per part 3 to 14 of the SEBI Guidelines 1999, approval of shareholders of the Company through Special
  Resolution in the AGM is mandatory for the granting ESOP.
  Company has used Black Scholes Option Pricing model in assessing fair value of the Options on its
  ESOPs, which it yet an outdated and criticized valuation mechanism excluding many key factors from its
  valuations some of them are like: Transportation Cost, Taxation Cost, Assuming Homogenous investor
  demand and time duration etc.




Company should see that it gets its special resolutions required to be passed within the AGM and also the Company
should take NSE at the front when assessing market prices and exercise price of its ESOPs.
Company should also look and opt for better Option Valuation Models for far much better results and valuations.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

  As mentioned earlier among the points noted by the Auditors, Company regarding its disputed service
  tax levy has not made any sort of Contingent Liability provisions as such so as to accumulate fund and
  source the Contingency payments as and when required by it therefore leaving the Company no other
  choice than to apply funds available with the Company itself.
  Fall in Net Worth of both Subsidiary Companies and Joint Ventures of the Company together with fall in
  Partnership Satisfaction Index from previous year shows us that Company is struggling with its Associate
  Companies both in financials and in satisfaction level too.
  Expansion Phase of 36 months of the Company is yet another worrying and crucial time factor where it
  will be mostly vulnerable to market risks. Further dependence on Real Estate Promoters have really hit
  hard to the company’s expansion duration and financials as affecting it in shape of high construction cost,
  land rentals and delay in construction too due to slowing economy.
  Company’s promotional strategies have been on a much lower sides both above and below the line
  what is on usual expected from the size and scale of the company like this.



It will be a prudent practice for the Company to create provisions on Contingent Liabilities as will help the Company
is much better way managing its contingent payments in advance.
Company should also seek to strengthen its Joint Ventures and Subsidiaries by either revamping their operational
strategies or rethinking about prudence and feasibility of continuing the Partnership looking at the Company’s future
in the long run.
Company should create some innovative promotional and marketing advertisements and campaigns to increase the
product’s demand as well as to create more awareness about the Company’s product’s among the consumers.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

  The details of dues of Income-Tax, Sales Tax and Customs Duty which have not been deposited as on 31st
  March, 2012 on account of any disputes are given below:
  1) Company has not deposited Income Tax according to the Income Tax Act, 1961 which is pending in
      CIT (Appeals) amounting to Rs.1, 042lacs for the period of 2004-06, 2008 and 2009.
  2) Company has not deposited Sales Tax according to the West Bengal Value Added Tax Act, 2005
      which is pending in Jt. Commissioner of sales Tax (Appeals) amounting to Rs.22.03lacs for the period
      of 2009.
  3) Company has not deposited Custom Duty according to the Customs Act, 1962 which is pending in
      Commissioner (Appeals) amounting to Rs.12.23lacs for the period of 2008.
  And as done earlier Company has not maintained at all any provision for such Duties and Taxes.




As mentioned earlier it will be better for the Company to stand a provision in the Balance Sheet for such amounts or
else their Balance Sheet is going to have an adverse effect of any such Contingent Liabilities.

  • 37. IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Although there has been a rise in the Current Ratio from the previous year but still since 2008-09, the ratio has consistently being out of ideal range which is causing a liquidity crunch situation thus creating more pressure on the cash utilisation of the company. Quick Ratio is even in more critical condition, it is not only decreasing from previous year but also far short of what ideal ratio is considered. This raises a formidable questions on the short term solvency of the company again putting a tremendous pressure on the cash utilization of the company in the short run. On the other hand an increasing Days Inventory Outstanding(DIO) from the previous year shows that the company is feeling pressure of converting inventories into cash or even receivables leading to rise in stock in trade and further putting pressure on liquidity of the company keeping investor’s money largely on risk. Therefore Company looks inefficient in managing its important working capital assets As evident from the Current and Quick Ratio above, the Company’s liquidity issue is making cash trapped for a longer time. Efforts from the company needs to be done on this front therefore the company can either increase its Current Assets or rather should put its efforts to reduce its Current Investments in order to increase the ratios. In short Current Assets should be enough to cover its Current Liabilities as currently Current Assets are inappropriate to pay out all its Current Liabilities. The Company should put efforts to convert inventories into cash or account receivables so that cash from inventory sale is paid further to its suppliers for goods and services. Increasing DIO shows that the Company’s products are either failing to attract customers or the demand of the Company’s product is decreasing thereby reducing or squeezing cash availability.
  • 38. IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS The fall in Gross Profit Margin Ratio has signaled on the fact that the company has not efficiently utilized its labour, raw materials and manufacturing related fixed assets to generate profits thus leading to fall in the value of the Gross Profit. On the other hand fall in Operating Profit Margin Ratio and Operating Profit together evidences the fact that company has failed to control its selling and general and administrative expenses and thus leading to loss in operating profit. Further fall in Net Profit Margin Ratio supports the above mentioned Operating Profit Margin Ratio and Gross Margin Ratio that Company’s profit has depleted due to lack efficient control of direct and indirect expenses. A fall in Return on Assets(ROA) from the previous year shows that the management has remained inefficient in employing the Company’s Total Assets to make a profit on it or rather earn a higher return on it. As evident from the Gross, Operating and Net Profit Ratio above, the Company has struggled with efficiently utilizing its direct and indirect expenses therefore company should find certain ways to curb its expenses to boost its profit and to have a control over its day to day operations as the above fall in the ratios is also evidencing the fact to the deficiencies in the Management decision making process too. Company in order to improve its ROA should evolve certain ways to boost its returns on the assets available with it.
  • 39. IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS Rise in Debt Ratio and Debt Equity from previous year in both Alone and Consolidated format shows that the company’s dependence on the leverage has increased because the Company has seen a tremendous increase in the liabilities as compared to assets and mostly the debt part of the liabilities. On the other hand rise in the Capitalization Ratio from the previous year indicate the investment quality of the company. Further it shows the increasing dependence of the Company on the long term debt. Further fall in Cash Flow to Debt Ratio which shows that Company’s cash flow is not efficiently utilized to serve its total debt and also the weak cash flow situation which affects the cash generation and operation of the company. As evident from the Debt Ratio, Debt Equity Ratio and Capitalization Ratio, Company should reduce its dependence on leverage i.e. Debt so as to reduce the risks involved in it as compared to its Equity therefore Company should reduce or dispose some of its Debts on both the long and short term one’s with as quickly as possible as it is also having a negative impact on the profit of the Company (from interest expenses) . Company should either generate enough cash to improve its weak cash flow situation or should again most probably as mentioned above should severely take certain actions to reduce the abundance of Debt taken by the Company to realise some pressures on the cash.
  • 40. IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS The fall in SSL alone in the Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio form the previous year shows that especially SSL alone as a company has been inefficient in managing its Fixed Assets, therefore failing to convert the Company’s Fixed Asset are failing to generate sales and hence causing reduced sales when compared to the amount invested on the purchase of the Fixed Asset. Accompanying the above ratio, the fall in the Company’s Asset Turnover Ratio form the previous year also shows that company has been inefficient in managing its Total Assets too, and hence Assets of the Company is not generating enough cash in proportion to its investment value. As evident from the falling Fixed Assets and Total Assets Ratios, Company should find ways to generate enough cash in proportion to its investment value.
  • 41. IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS The fall in Operating Cash Flow to Sales Ratio from the previous year is signaling to the fact that the Company has conducted majority of its sales in credit, hence impacting a cash shortage situation. Accompanying the above ratio, the fall in Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow to Sales Ratio from the previous year have also shown that there is insufficient cash available by the company for further acquisitions or expansions required. Therefore boosting yet more cash crunch situation. Further, fall in Short Term Debt and Capital Expenditure and Capital Expenditure Coverage Ratios leading to insufficient cash to cover or service either the Short Term obligations as well as Capital Expenditure requirements by the Company also consolidates the fact of substantial cash crisis problem. As evident from the falling above mentioned ratios, it is very important for the company find ways to resolve its cash crisis situations whether in increasing cash sales or reducing its operating expenditures so as to leave with the company enough cash to cover its both short and long term obligations regarding debts or acquisitions or expansions or any other further Capital expenditures as and when required.
  • 42. IMPACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS PEG Ratio of 8 shows that the Company’s stocks are overvalued and hence it is expected by the investors that the prices are going to fall the market’s current valuation. Further, the fall in Company’s Dividend Yield shows that the dividend in relation to its per share value trading has decreased from the previous year. Company’s PEG Ratio shows Company’s stock to be overvalued as compared to the market valuation therefore efforts should be made from the company to reach as close to the market valuation as possible. Further Company’s Dividend Yield is not in its fine shape hence Dividend declared and paid out as compared to the share price traded should be reevaluated so as to be in consonant with the trading share price.
  • 43. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A rising trend in Operating is indicating to the fact that the company is continuously failing to grasp and attract the potential customers entering the store and converting their product seeking into purchasing it from the store. A similar falling trend in Like to Like Sales Volume shows that comparing this year's sales to last year's sales in the company there has been a fall which also continues in further upcoming quarters. Although an increase in the Private Label Mix has been noticed but more importantly the fall in the Private Label Sales shows that the products being sold by the company under the brand name of other companies are registering a fall and puts a question on the same. Company should pay attention to increase the people visiting on store into potential customers, which will need improved efforts from both the front end employees and also the attractiveness of the merchandise and services either by introducing certain schemes or discounts or concessions together with the efficient customer service to lure the visitors. The products being sold by the company under the brand name of other companies are registering a fall and the company should seriously think about the feasibility of continuing the same practice.
  • 44. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A falling trend in Gross Marginal Return on Floor, Inventory and Labour, clearly suggest that the Company’s efficiency regarding labour and inventory productivity is declining consistently thus effecting sales altogether of the company as well as the investments made on the inventory too. Company should pay attention to increase its labour and inventory productivity by increasing various initiatives to encourage the employees to produce greater results as well as thinking ways to place investments on inventory in an efficient manner.
  • 45. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A rising trend in Operating Expenses is a major concern for the Company. A bigger factor contributing to it are the tremendous hikes in Finance Charges during the year which are so severe that it has a taken a heavy toll out of the profits of the company too and hence blocking lot of cash within itself so as to be left for other obligations or expenditures. Consolidating the above fact, the Profit before and after tax of the Company and its other Associate Companies have bore the brunt of the above mentioned expenses. Company should with immediate effect find ways to decrease the expenses especially the finance charges which are consuming way too much cash available by the company therefore leading to a cash crisis situation and blocking other major Capital expenditure or even short term obligations.
  • 46. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Short and Long Term Secured and Unsecured Loans & Advances by the Company have seen a growth to both its Associate Companies and others under severe cash crisis situations which again have not been beneficial for the Company and therefore it raises the basic questions on its existence, prudence, timing and appropriateness itself. Also evidencing to the above fact Auditors in the Audit Report of financial year 2011-12 have also raised the questions regarding on the prejudicial interest of the Company by granting of an Unsecured Loans to a party on terms and conditions of such loan. Auditors of the Company in its Audit Report of financial year 2011-12, has mentioned in their opinion itself that inspite of the opportunity substantial part of Fixed Assets have not been disposed of during the year which might have served an extra source of cash generation or rather would have relived the Balance Sheet to certain extent . Company should revisit and rethink about the prudence and feasibility of the extent and terms and conditions of granting loans and advances to the other Companies especially at the crucial time when the Company is struggling to maintain cash and profits for its own obligations and expenditures. Company should dispose of the Fixed Asset whether scrapped or obsolete or otherwise wherever it is correct and possible so as to generate certain cash if possible or to create enough space in the Balance Sheet to add on other assets to its pool.
  • 47. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Short Term Borrowings, Trade Payables and Other Current Liabilities have all risen from the previous year which shows the on the one hand Company’s rising obligations whereas on the other hand increasing influence of Creditors and Borrowers on the functioning of the Company, which are both further mounting pressures on profits and cash. Company should invent and innovate more ways to settle their obligations and relieve the Company from severe Debt ridden phase thereby making provisions and generating enough cash to fulfill all future and current obligations.
  • 48. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Market analysis of trading history of SSL at NSE in 2011-12 showed that on particular months like July, August, October, December and February during the period the prices of the company fell and at times fell to a substantial amount impacting volumes and turnovers of the Company. There was no such evidence found during the study of its Annual report and part thereof that clearly mentions that the Special Resolutions for ESOPs during 2010-11 and 2011-12 was passed in Annual General Meeting(AGM) of the Company. However the company has granted ESOPs as on 24th March 2010 and 29th April 2011. As per part 3 to 14 of the SEBI Guidelines 1999, approval of shareholders of the Company through Special Resolution in the AGM is mandatory for the granting ESOP. Company has used Black Scholes Option Pricing model in assessing fair value of the Options on its ESOPs, which it yet an outdated and criticized valuation mechanism excluding many key factors from its valuations some of them are like: Transportation Cost, Taxation Cost, Assuming Homogenous investor demand and time duration etc. Company should see that it gets its special resolutions required to be passed within the AGM and also the Company should take NSE at the front when assessing market prices and exercise price of its ESOPs. Company should also look and opt for better Option Valuation Models for far much better results and valuations.
  • 49. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS As mentioned earlier among the points noted by the Auditors, Company regarding its disputed service tax levy has not made any sort of Contingent Liability provisions as such so as to accumulate fund and source the Contingency payments as and when required by it therefore leaving the Company no other choice than to apply funds available with the Company itself. Fall in Net Worth of both Subsidiary Companies and Joint Ventures of the Company together with fall in Partnership Satisfaction Index from previous year shows us that Company is struggling with its Associate Companies both in financials and in satisfaction level too. Expansion Phase of 36 months of the Company is yet another worrying and crucial time factor where it will be mostly vulnerable to market risks. Further dependence on Real Estate Promoters have really hit hard to the company’s expansion duration and financials as affecting it in shape of high construction cost, land rentals and delay in construction too due to slowing economy. Company’s promotional strategies have been on a much lower sides both above and below the line what is on usual expected from the size and scale of the company like this. It will be a prudent practice for the Company to create provisions on Contingent Liabilities as will help the Company is much better way managing its contingent payments in advance. Company should also seek to strengthen its Joint Ventures and Subsidiaries by either revamping their operational strategies or rethinking about prudence and feasibility of continuing the Partnership looking at the Company’s future in the long run. Company should create some innovative promotional and marketing advertisements and campaigns to increase the product’s demand as well as to create more awareness about the Company’s product’s among the consumers.
