MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

 

Indian Economy-Outlook

 

Indian economy in the recent times has benefitted fro strong domestic demand and a resumption of investor sentiments although higher interest rates are expects to trim the overall growth rate. Improved external demand and stronger capital inflows have also played a positive role. A reasonably good monsoon has helped the agriculture sector and has boosted rural demand as well. It is estimated that India will have GDP growth rate for 2011-12 at 8.2% s compared to 8.5% registered last year which still provide India a foremost position amongst growing and emerging economies.

 

At global front, domestic consumption is on the emerging economies and those economies including India are now front running the global economic expansion.

 

The Company considering the economic growth of India, has potential to maintain its path of growth like earlier with buoyancy of registering new growth rate in forthcoming year by improving its overall performance.

2 November 2011 - Rating agency CARE today set a BBB+ rating to the INR100m (USD2m/EUR1.5m) long-term bank facilities of Indian leather and non-leather footwear maker Liberty Retail Revolutions Limited (LRRL).

The rating is based on the credit enhancement via unconditional and irrevocable guarantee provided for the bank facilities of LRRL by its holding company Liberty Shoes Limited (LSL). LRRL was created in 2004 to manage the retail operations of the Liberty Group.

The credit profile of LSL is supported by the experienced promoters, the long track record of the company and the established brand name in the footwear industry.

The rating is constrained by LRRL's declining profitability margins due to intense competition, working-capital intensive nature of operations and modest performance.

The future of the rating is contingent upon the ability of Liberty Shoes Limited to shift its retail business and improve profitability margins, while maintaining its capital structure.
