MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
·
Industry Structure and Developments:
Indian Agriculture,
which has been passing through a flat phase, has now become a focus area
particularly for the Central Government. With the right policy initiatives,
Indian Agriculture is capable of delivering a second Green Revolution. The
Central Government is actively promoting market driven agriculture,
diversification of crops and opening up of the markets. Horticulture (fruits
and vegetables) and seeds continue to be future growth areas with adequate
support from the government. A National Horticulture Board has also been
established.
With this focus at the
policy front, the medium and long term prospects of agriculture are really
sound.
In the short term, the major dependence on monsoon and the poor infrastructure
of material movements and markets do have a major impact on agricultural
production.
The monsoon in 2004 was by and large normal with some regional imbalances.
Monsoon was particularly beneficial in the Southern part of the country, which
reflected in the good agricultural production in the region.
The seed industry continued its upward trend. Farmers are increasingly adopting
hybrid seeds due to the higher yield and better quality of produce. Genetically
modified cotton established itself in the market, with several new companies
getting approvals, entering the field and expanding the market. However spread
of illegal BT cotton seed is a matter of concern for the Industry.
The patent legislation in line with WTO requirements was adopted with effect
from 1st January, 2005. Given the large number of generics in the
market. The impact is expected to be limited during the next few years.
However, in the long run Indian companies will need to have access to unique
molecules.
The fine chemical business ail over the world has come under a huge cost
pressure due to very large increase in petroleum prices leading to increase in
downstream petrochemical product prices. On the other hand, due to a general
situation of over supply the selling prices have remained constant leading to
erosion in profit margins in most of the chemical companies. The problem in
India is compounded due to poor export realizations caused by the strengthening
Rupee.
On the other hand. Opportunities are always available due to large number of
pharmaceutical products coming off patent in the U.S. as also by pursuing right
market opportunities.
Due to changing global consumption trends in the areas of electronics,
photography etc. there is a large potential business possibility from companies
looking to outsource such performance chemicals like electronic chemicals,
photographic chemicals etc.
The major customer segments of engineering plastic compounds, auto components
and the electrical and electronics industry are going through a remarkable
growth phase.
However, most OEMs are demanding lower prices at a time when the prices of
steel and other raw materials are soaring. Therefore, compounders must compete
with cheaper economies and lower margins.
·
Performance:
The company
continued its growth trend and posted better results, as already indicated.
Expansion of geographical reach especially in high growth areas has started
showing results. The company has now established itself in the plantation
sector in Southern and Eastern parts of the Country. The plant nutrient segment
recorded an impressive growth during the year.
Major activity was undertaken to enhance training of field staff and improve
the distribution network to enlarge the reach of the company's products. A huge
amount has been spent on carrying out extension services and product
demonstrations. As a part of their corporate commitment and philosophy the
training on safe use of pesticides has been made an integral part of these
programmes.
The Fine Chemical business witnessed a delay in commissioning of the new
manufacturing plant which led to the deferment of part of the sales to the next
year.
A significant achievement in the year under review was diversification of the
business portfolio of contract manufacturing from mainly agro chemicals to
pharmaceutical intermediates and performance chemicals like photographic
chemicals, electroplating chemicals etc.
The company has
been successful in contacting several new customers and has generated several
inquiries from such customers. The company is very hopeful that these enquiries
will result in long term business contracts. The establishing of the company's
Japan office has been timely, and business volumes are expected to grow to
significant levels in the next three years.
The Polymer
Division clocked sales growth of about 57% in financial year 2004-05 over the
previous year. However profit margins continue to be under pressure due to
intense competition.
·
Outlook:
The onset of
monsoon in 2005 though delayed has been widespread and adequate in most parts
of the country. Given the growth strategies, better systems, and new
initiatives taken by the company, continued improved performance is expected in
the current year.
In light of the new patent regime it is proposed to source new technologies and
commercialize them in a phased manner. This will secure the company's
future.
Further, due to the various initiatives taken, the company expects to finalize
new contract manufacturing businesses during the current year.
Polymer business is targeted to grow by about 30% for the financial year 2005-06
over the previous year of 2004-05.
To augment its
supply chain, it has made toll manufacturing arrangement with one of the
leading toll manufacturer near its manufacturing facility at Panoli (Gujarat).
It shall also strengthen its marketing team to achieve its budgeted sales
targets.
Given these growth strategies and new initiatives, all round improved
performance is expected in the current year.

They have great challenges ahead. In the rapidly changing business environment,
they need to keep theirselves abreast of the latest developments happening

opportunities it offers and locally big corporate are moving into rural areas.
They need to create, identify and work on these opportunities. The challenges
of the coming year would definitely be much bigger than of yesteryears. What
they all require is clarity in objectives, the right attitude and teamwork.
Today's challenges will be the stepping stones for tomorrow. And they are
growing as a team. I see many new faces with a mix of young blood and vast
experienced talent pool of varied backgrounds. I trust that with this energetic
talent pool, they will be able to establish the new benchmarks in corporate
excellence. In addition to show good business performance and corporate
governance, it is also important to be aware about the social purpose of being
in business. They must keep educating their farmers on the safe and judicious
use of agrochemicals as a part & parcel of their corporate social
responsibility. It is important that they continue with these initiatives. They
should also be available to fulfill their social responsibilities. The reverse
count for the year is on! I hope, by the time you will receive my message you
