HISTORY

 

Subject was incorporated in 1981 as a private limited company by Gulu Mirchandani, Vijay Mansukhani and Sonu Mirchandani of the Onida group. Later it transformed as a public limited company in 1992. Subejct is a market leader in consumer electronics goods; it manufactures the well known Onida brand of colour televisions (CTVs), Air Conditioners, Washing Machines, TV-Components and Spares and Electronic Tuners. The company has two subsidiary companies Akasaka Electronics Limited and Imercius Technologies (India) Limited Other group companies are Onida Saka and Monica Electronics. Subejct tapped the capital market to finance its CTV expansion and diversification into the audio segment. Commercial production at the expanded capacity started from Jul.'1995. The company has opened Onida Arcades, exclusives retail shops and introduced state-of-the-art wide vision TVs and audio systems.

 

The company was awarded ISO 9001 certification during 1994-95. The company concentrated on reinforcing and improving the penetration of its sales and after sales support infrastructure. During 1997-98, the company came out with a new range of products christened 'Techno Value', which has been launched with considerable success. In 1998-99, it introduced the WEBCRUISER - the world first internet TV, the trendy TV and PIP in the 25' segment. In 1999-2000, the company introduced multi-coloured Candy in the 14 inch TV segment. In the fiscal 2001, it came out with 29KY Thunder series which was amongst the first 650 watt television set in the world and has embarked on the process to launch a plasma display tube television in collaboration with Fujitsu. With effect from 1st April, 2001 Onida Infotech Services Limited was merged with Subject.  In 2001-02 it had launched the 29 inch Home Theatre, the first to convert a mono recording into a 5.1 output surround sound. In 2003-04, MIRC decided to come out from its non-core business to strengthen its core business segment. The company sold its Onida Infotech division during the same year.

 

Subject rewarded its shareholders with an allotment of bonus shares in the ratio of one share for every one share held in the company. During the year 2004-05, one of the group companies, Ondia Savak Limited had been merged with the company. By this merger, one more feather i.e. Electronic Tuners added in its product segment. The company wants to take advantages from the outsourcing businesses provided by international giants. In view of this, it has enhanced the capacity of televisions from 1.8 million units per annum to 3.0 million units per annum. The company has launched its new model colour televisions (Oxygen Series and 'Poison' range) and Microwave Ovens in this period.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The management has pleasure in presenting this report in adherence to the Code of Corporate Governance enacted by the Securities and Exchange Board of India under Clause 49 of the Listing agreement.

 

Economic Review:

 

Having withered the global recession India’s economy is poised for growth at a faster pace in 2010-11 than earlier expected, supported by a global recovery, domestic demand and a double-digit expansion in factory output.

 

Such expansion is expected to generate greater inflation than previously expected, requiring a steady series of rate rises from the Reserve Bank of India. Asia’s third-biggest economy is expected to grow at annual rates above 8 per cent in coming quarters.

 

According to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), ‘Bird of Gold’: The Rise of India’s Consumer Market’, Indian incomes are likely to grow three-fold over the next two decades and India will become the world’s fifth largest consumer market by 2025.

 

Industry structure and developments

 

The consumer durables industry consists of durable goods used for domestic purposes such as televisions, LCD TVs, air conditioners, DVD players, washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens etc. The growth in the consumer durables sector has been driven primarily by factors such as boom in the real estate/housing industry, higher disposable income, emergence of the retail industry in a big way coupled with rising affluence levels of a large section of the population.

 

A shift in consumer preferences towards higher-end, technologically advanced branded products has been quite discernable. This shift can be explained by narrowing differentials between the prices of branded and unbranded products added with the high quality of after sales service provided by the branded players. The shift has also been triggered by the availability of foreign branded products in India owing to lower import duties coupled with other liberal measures as introduced by the government.

 

A combination of changing lifestyles, higher disposable income, greater product awareness and affordable pricing have been instrumental in changing the pattern and amount of consumer expenditure leading to strong growth in the consumer durables industry.

 

Consumer durables grew at a robust rate of 31.6 percent in January 2010 as against a nominal 2.1 percent posted in the same time last year. In fact, along with the manufacturing sector for capital goods, the manufacturing sector for consumer durables were prime contributors to the robust growth in the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), which grew by 16.7 percent in January 2010.

 

Opportunities and Threats

 

The key growth drivers for the Indian consumer durables industry:

 

  • Rise in the share of organised retail: Approximately 315 hypermarkets are expected to come into existence in Tier-I and Tier-II cities across India by the end of 2011, according to a joint study by consultancy firm KPMG and industry body ASSOCHAM named ‘Reinventing India’s Retail Sector’. Consultancy firm Technopak has said that the organised modern retail segment in India will grow by over three times during the next five years (from 2010), to reach a figure of US$ 80 billion. Hence there is great opportunity for growth in this sector in view of the positive developments in organized retail sector.
  • Availability of newer variants of a product: Consumers are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing products.
  • Newer variants of a product help a company in getting the attention of consumers who look for innovation in products.
  • Rise in disposable income: The demand for consumer electronics has been rising with the increase in disposable income coupled with more and more consumers falling under the double income families. The growing Indian middle class is an attraction for companies who are out to woo them.
  • Product pricing: The consumer durables industry is highly price sensitive, making price the determining factor in increasing volumes, at least for lower range consumers. For middle and upper range consumers, it is the brand name, technology and product features that are important.
  • Availability of financing schemes: Availability of credit and the structure of the loan determine the affordability of the product. Sale of a particular product is determined by the cost of credit as much as the flexibility of the scheme.
  • Innovative advertising and brand promotion: Sales promotion measures such as discounts, free gifts and exchange offers help a company in distinguishing itself from others.
  • Festive season sales: Demand for colour TVs usually pick up during the festive seasons. As a result most companies come out with offers during this period to cash in on the festive mood. This period will continue to be the growth driver for consumer durable companies.
  • Emergence of nuclear families.
  • Growth of entertainment and Media and the flurry of television channels and the rising penetration of cinemas.
  • Electrification in rural India and increasing aspirations of people in rural India.

 

The consumer durables market in India has seen a proliferation of brands and product categories in recent years. All the major international brands from Japan, Korea, US, Europe and China have launched in India with varying degrees of success. Most brands are still trying to build a pan-India dealer network. In the times to come the Consumer durables sector is poised for a quantum leap due to technological improvements, falling prices due to competition, aggressive marketing and declining import tariffs. The changing dynamics of consumer behaviour indicate that luxury goods are now being perceived as necessities with higher disposable incomes being spent on lifestyle products.

 

In response to the aforesaid opportunities the Company expanded its scope from a single product to a multi-product portfolio, resulting in enhanced possibility to occupy a larger shelf space. It prudently invested its resources to drive its innovation and promote its products.

 

Threats

 

  • With stiff competition, the consumer durables industry faces a persistent pressure on margins due to its inability to pass on input cost rises to consumers. Hence, the company’s future profitability may come under pressure.
  • Rising inputs costs of raw materials viz. copper and steel will put huge pressure on the margins. Further with the recent increase in excise duties the pressure will be on manufacturers to pass on the burden to consumers which may lead to reduced demand.
  • Exchange schemes and pricing could have a negative industry impact.
  • The entry of cheap Chinese products through organized retail continues to be a threat to the domestic players like ONIDA. Amid hyped media reports on the invasion of Chinese goods, the consumer is likely to get confused thereby resulting in temporary loss of market share and revenues. However, brand building continues to be the competitive edge in which the Chinese products seem to lag behind. They don’t have much experience in brand building, especially in the international context. Therefore, their entry into India as brands have been very diffident and that hasn’t worked in the extremely competitive market like India.
  • The focus of consumers is shifting to energy efficient appliances and providing such appliances at a competitive price will be a challenge.
  • Margins are under pressure in view of increase in cost of marketing, advertising and after-sales services.
  • Cyclicality has triggerred an industry recession.
  • The Company faces stiff competition from South Korean companies like LG and Samsung. In last few years, they have been increasing their market share in India. Going forward, they are expected to give tough competition to Indian manufacturers with newer high-end technologies.

 

Product-wise performance

 

There was 11% growth in sale of Onida Air-conditioners during the year under review. The sale of Washing machines registered a growth of 5% and the sale of Microwave ovens registered a growth of 8%. The sale of Mobile registered a growth of 26% and the sale of other electronics products registered a growth of 11%. During the year under review, the Company witnessed a moderate de-growth in sales of Colour Televisions and LCDs of 2%. The performance in Mobiles, Air Conditioners and Washing Machine segments marks the advancement of the Company towards becoming a complete home solutions provider.

 

Outlook

 

In the times to come, Brand strength, product mix, a well-established distribution network, after-sales service, and technological superiority would be factors which will determine the competitive advantage of industry players.

 

Market shares are expected to consolidate; however, the pace of consolidation would decline. While major industry players would continue to focus on prices in the low-medium range, advertising and promotional spends would continue to be an integral part of the players’ expenses. The Company has extended its offerings under the Onida brand across products as well as geographical boundaries.

 

The Company expects to increase its presence in these products and emerge as a leading solutions provider for electronic home improvement goods. The Company has also positioned an exclusive brand ‘IGO’ for the rural market to capture the potential demand from the rural areas, which is growing aggressively.

 

On the export front the Company intends to aggressively capitalize its export potential and has invested considerably in research and development initiatives to create products for diverse geographies. Over the time the management expects Onida to emerge as a global brand in the consumer durables industry in India as well as internationally.

ECONOMIC REVIEW:

 

According to industry experts the Indian economy is expected to recover from the slowdown in the second half of 2009-10, thanks to the strong domestic market and improving financial sector. The turnaround is expected from domestic activity data, adequate liquidity in the system, substantial easing of financial conditions and decline in interest rates.

 

Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) are back in the market and according to published reports investment by FIIs rose to US $1.8 billion in April ’09 after falling to US $1.2 billion in March ’09.

 

India expects to receive foreign direct investment (FDI) to the tune of US $30 billion in fiscal year 2009-10, compared to US $ 27.5 billion estimated for 2008-09.

 

Despite the global economic slump and severe credit crunch, the government is optimistic that there won’t be any decline in foreign direct investment in India and anticipates a 9 per cent increase over 2008-09. Although the projected figure does not show a significant rise, under the present global scenario it is considered as a positive development.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Indian consumer durables industry has witnessed a considerable change in the past couple of years. Changing lifestyle, higher disposable income coupled with greater affordability and a surge in advertising has been instrumental in bringing about a sea change in the consumer behaviour pattern.

 

This industry consists of durable goods used for domestic purposes such as televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens etc. The growth in the consumer durables sector has been driven primarily by factors such as boom in the real estate/housing industry, higher disposable income, emergence of the retail industry in a big way coupled with rising affluence levels of a large section of the population.

·         Rise in the share of organised retail: Rise in organised retail will set the growth pace of the Indian consumer durables industry. According to a recent study, organized retail accounts for around 5% of the estimated US $ 350 billion Indian retail market, and is expected to grow to 10.4% of overall retail market by 2012.

 

·         Innovative advertising and brand promotion: Sales promotion measures such as discounts, free gifts and exchange offers help a company in distinguishing itself from others.

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The financial year 2008-09 was a year of challenges and uncertainties for businesses across various segments of industry with the financial crisis, volatile prices, sharp movement in currencies, crashing stock markets and severe liquidity crisis. The company too was not insulated from these challenges as the business had its impact on overall margins. The exchange rate fluctuation led to a fair degree of strain on the company’s operating efficiencies and profit as well. During the financial year 2008-09 the turnover of the Company stood at Rs.15177.200 Millions as against Rs.16550.600 Millions in the previous financial year 2007-08. The profit before tax stood at Rs.101.500 Millions as against Rs.405.500 Millions in previous financial year. The profit after tax for the financial year ended March 31, 2009 stood at Rs.89.500 Millions as against Rs.345.900 Millions in previous financial year. The company has taken adequate measures to improve its performance in the coming year and the Board is confident of better results in the financial year 2009-10.

PROFILE

 

Subject is the maker of the Onida brand of TVs has grown a number of connectivity options in its backyard. There are VSAT links, leased lines, VPN links, ISDN links, RF (Radio Frequency) links, and dial up links. The company is now able to share its SAP R/3 data among 140 users across 38 locations nationwide without the fear of losing valuable transaction and operations data in a communications breakdown.

 

Since MEL runs an ERP which demands data be available all the time and has users sprinkled in multiple locations nationwide, it had to ensure multiple connectivity options. And the initiative has paid off very well.

 

Subject was founded in 1981 and began computerization five years ago by deploying LANs at various locations with CAT 5 structured cabling. RF links were deployed in a couple of years between its offices in Mumbai and Thane to share information.

 

The RF links connect the HO (Head Office) to two locations in Mumbai, the Mumbai branch office and the Onida Infotech building. Bandwidth of the RF links is 1.5 Mbps and they are backed up with dialup links. The RF equipment includes wireless transceivers and wireless modems from Wi-LAN.

 

The Company uses HCL Infinet’s network to support a 64 Mbps leased line which connect to 20 branch offices nationwide. Each link is backed up with 128K ISDN links. The company also uses the service provider’s VPN for security. A firewall sits between the mail server at the HO and the Internet.  A 128K DSL and a back up 64K DSL link help make the connection.

 

The Company earlier had a PAMA link between the HO and the New Delhi office. It has recently migrated the link to a VPN. The bandwidth is 32 Kbps and will soon be doubled due to expected higher data traffic.

 

 

EXPORTS

Onida with its Sales and Marketing office in Dubai reported a 215 per cent export growth in two years, setting the base for an increased robust international presence.
