MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

Industry Structure and Developments: 

Global commercial printing industry is expected to grow to US $ 400 billion by 2009. Printing is one of the USA's largest manufacturing industry generating revenues of USD 157 bn from printed products and services. 

Printing Industry in one of UK's largest economic sectors at GBP 13 bn. The combined turnover of paper, printing and publishing industry is GBP 29 bn representing 3.5% of UK GDP Within the global market, USA and UK markets are very large and are looking at outsourcing There are huge World Bank funded education projects in the African Continent offering large opportunities to the developing countries like India. 

During this year, the Company has leveraged it's expertise in Digital Printing Business in order to capitalise the growing opportunities both from international and domestic markets, The Company is well poised to benefit growing international trend of outsourcing print and related services from countries like India. With the aid of Digital Printing Repro is able to meet demand for quick, reliable methods of producing, fulfilling and distributing content as expeditiously as possible without error and with utmost flexibility. 

Last year the Company has started to undergo ERP implementation (Print Domain specific) with EFI Hagen OA MIS system (EFI is a dedicated print industry ERP & MIS automation solutions US company). The Company aims to make its operations more process oriented and aligned with its objectives and strategies, EFI as an integrated manufacturing MIS system will: 

Provide tools to collect, organize and present the information the Company needs for timely, profitable management decisions. 

Provide the technological flexibility required to meet the unique needs of print manufacturing. 

Provide the on-going support and development necessary to protect the Company's technology Investment. 

Last year they augmented their infrastructure. On the pre-press side they added a state-of-the-art Computer-to-Plate system, the Agfa Avalon with on-line baking that is capable of delivering 500 printing plates per day, i.e., 500 X 8 = 4000 pages, thereby eliminating the manual paste-ups and montage films resulting in speed, accuracy and efficiency. This coupled with the Agfa 'Apogee X ' PDF work-flow can trigger simultaneously, the Agfa Sherpa Digital Colour Proofing System and the Avantra 44 Image Setter which eliminates manual stripping, that saves time and ensures quality. 

The Agfa Apogee X work flow also offers remote digital proofing & web-based approval system to their clients across geographies also at distant locations in Africa, UK and USA, The Apogee X also provides CIP4 auto-inking system to some of out presses. Further, with the implementation of the print domain ERP - EFI - Hagen it's linkage to the proposed JDF module will offer ability to carry the print job from genesis through completion, i.e. from creative, pre-press, print, finishing, packaging and delivery seamlessly. 

Risk and Concern and Risk Mitigation: 

Rise in interest cost: 

Printing industry is a very capital intensive industry. The current trend of increase in the interest rates may adversely affect the margins of the Company as the debt is a major source of finance. The rise in the interest cost will increase the cost of funds to a great extent and may impact profitability adversely. 

Company's Perspective: 

The Company has been very conservative when it comes to finance planning and capital resource deployment. The Company is and will continue to strive hard to maintain the desired level of debt equity ratio, which indirectly will negate the impact of rise in interest rates. Similarly, the Company is looking at various instruments of financing to reduce the impact of rising interest rate. Further, since 44% of the business of the Company is from exports, the Company can avail export finance at competitive interest rate therefore minimizing the impact of rising interest rate. 

Rise in paper cost: 

Rise in paper cost might affect the Company's margins. Unprecedented rise in prices of paper which forms the major cost of the printing, might affect margins. On an average, paper cost account for 40% of operating cost, Though most of the projects have price escalation clause for increase in inputs, it might so happen that the increase in costs are not fully covered by the escalation in prices.

 Company's perspective: 

The Company has tied up with paper mills such that the prices of paper are revised only at the end of every quarter and hence for every increase in paper cost, the Company has a time period of a quarter to revise the prices of its products to the customer. 

Foreign Exchange Fluctuation: 

Due to increasing exports, the Company is exposed to multiple currencies.

The Company's performance and future could be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. 

Company's perspective: 

The Company hedges its exposure through non speculative forward contracts.

Further, the Company has sufficient imports also which provide a natural hedge against the currency movement. 

Product Categories: 

 

The Company is mainly engaged in value added print solutions business in the Export and the Domestic Market. Following are the categories of the products namely:  

 

a) Scholastic Books (b) Children's Colouring & Activity Books (c) Scientific, Technical and Medical Books (d) Trade Books (e) Digital Printing Books (f) Content Services and (g) Fulfillment. 

 
The Export market for the print industry is booming and specially the huge World Bank funded education projects in the African Continent offering large opportunities to the developing countries like India. 

 
Also in the domestic front the Company is focusing it's strength on Education Publishing including IT education and premium and large volume Annual Reports 

 
All their product categories are mainly Education based and because of the growing importance of education all around the globe, the Company is confident of taking the fullest advantage of this situation. 

 
The Digital Printing Business has performed very well in the last two quarters of the year ended March 31, 2007 and is expected to contribute in greater proportions to the total turnover in the coming years. 

 
The Content Services business during this year has accounted for 3 small proportion of the total revenue and the Company expects to do more and more Content Development in the coming years. 

 
Fulfillment is another product which the Company is engaged in The Company expects the fulfillment business to grow in the coming years because of the need of the Clients who require all the print solutions beginning with the creative till the dispatch of the product to the end user under one roof. 

 
In the ensuing year, the Company continues to strategically focus it's strength on usage of those business models which are more profitable, standardization of raw material SKU for volume benefits and reduction in inventory holding costs. 

 

Sales/Income from operations: 

 
Sales/Income from operation increased from Rs.1158.900 Millions in 2006 to Rs.1308.900 Millions in 2007 showing a growth of 13%. 

 
Other Income: 

 
Other income reduced from Rs. 6.100 Millions in 2006 to 4.500 Millions in 2007 due to reduction in dividend income earned in the previous year by deploying the money raised through IPO.

 

Operating and Other Expenses: 

 
Operating and other expenses amounted to Rs. 275.300 Millions in 2007 as against Rs.222.600 Millions in 2006, The expenses as a % to sales has increased to 21% in 2007 from 19% in 2006. The increase is due to investment in marketing and other infrastructure related expenses, the benefit of which will be fully realised in the coming years. 

 

Provision for Taxation: 

 
There is decrease in provision for current tax i.e. from Rs.45.900 Millions in 2006 to Rs. 20.100 Millions in 2007 due to higher depreciation available because of expansion and also because of income tax exemption available to the 'Content Services Division' u/s. 10B of Income Tax Act, 1961 which became effective in the current year. 

 
Provision for deferred tax increased from Rs.2.500 Millions in 2006 to Rs.15.100 Millions in 2007.
