CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR THE YEAR 2010-11

The Board of Directors is glad to inform that the Company successfully completed projects of generating power from Bio Gas for its Corn processing units at Himatnagar and Sitarganj. The Company has installed Bio Gas Engine at both the units for power generation. This initiative also takes care of carbon reduction and environmental friendly approach of the Company. The project is forward integration of the Bio Gas generation from the Corn processing effluent. With the success of these projects, the Company has put additional infrastructure for the bio gas generation at both the units. The generation of additional bio gas has already begun in F.Y. 2010-11 and the Company is also putting engine at each unit for forward integration of bio gas into power in the current F.Y. Such projects are capital incentive and their sustainability is based on CDM/ VCS revenue from such project. Other than above, the Company has made further investment at existing units of all segments for new plant and machinery, upgrading the technology and revamping the existing production facilities to increase the productivity and yield. During the year under report, new fixed assets totaling Rs. 296.200 millions were bought. Above all, the Company is now expanding its geographical presence in India by setting up a new 750 TPD Corn Processing Unit at Haveri District in the state of Karnataka. The total outlay is about Rs. 1250.000 millions and the project is expected to commence commercial production by end of December, 2011. The project is in the close proximity to Corn growing areas of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. It is also in the close proximity to South East and South West ports of India and this would help the Company to cater the global market of the respective regions.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

The overall Global Economic outlook remained “positive for the India in the last Financial Year”. The recovery from recession which started in the second half of financial 2009-10 continued for the most part of the Financial Year 2010-11. During later part of the year, one of the global giants Japan has faced the worst ever face of Mother Nature. They are yet to come out from the aftermath of the tragedy. This has put the global business environment on the back foot for a time being. The impact of this may continue in the first quarter of the current financial year. However the global business would flourish as historically such tragedy is followed by a positive future. Asian countries, especially China and India are also poised to deliver notably higher GDP growth in coming years.

 

 

INDIAN ECONOMY AND INDUSTRY AND SCENARIO

Indian economy continued its growth story and performed well on all the fronts. The growth estimates and measures to achieve it by the government are also with the positive frame of the mind and are with the business friendly attitude. The revival process of Japan is also expected to be beneficial for the Indian industries. However the global inability to check the inflation might restrict the growth of Indian economy.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS AND COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE

The Company is engaged in manufacturing and exports of various agro based “products”. The Company has also investment and contribution in environment friendly power generation through windmills and non conventional source of energy. The core activity of the company has gradually been shifted from oil seed extraction to corn processing activities over a period of last few years.

 

The company has acquired sufficient expertise in this segment and looking to the growth potential of this segment, the company is putting one more corn processing plant. This would eventually replace this segment as the core segment instead of agro processing segment.

 

The shift has positive impact on the top as well as bottom line in the FY 2010-11. In fact the two corn processing units of the company are the top performers in FY 2010-11. The cotton yarn unit has also contributed significantly in spite of various restrictions by the government on ring spinning industries. The agro processing segment also consistently improved its performance during the year.

 

SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE

The company’s presence is in the segments of Agro Processing, Cotton Yarn, Maize processing and Windmills.

 

AGRO PROCESSING SEGMENT

The performance of agro processing division showed recovery during the year. The oil import trading activity also helped the segment to push forward its growth. The negative impact of FY 09-10 largely vanished in FY 10-11 and the segment was able to improve its profit margins and capacity utilization on account of good monsoon resulting in better crop and yield. Solvent Extraction and in particular Soyameal exports witnessed growth in the FY 10-11. The steady demand from international market, good parity of oil seed crushing and steady INR helped this activity to register the growth. The impact of high interest rates has largely been off set by good forward premium of USD/INR. The down stream activity of edible oil refining also has the impact of positive factors like good domestic demand, continued duty exemption on import of crude edible oil etc. The positive scenario of edible activity helped the Company to further increase the trading activity. This activity has contributed significantly during the FY 10-11. Revenue from this Segment increased from Rs. 8794.300 millions to Rs. 13256.900 millions registering growth of 50.74 % as compared to previous financial year. Earning before interest and tax increased from Rs. 458.900 millions to Rs. 488.800 millions registering growth of 6.51 % as compared to previous financial year.

 

COTTON YARN SEGMENT

This was the first full year of operation after exit from EOU status w.e.f. January 2010. From the beginning of the year, high cotton prices had its impact on the prices of cotton yarn. The international price of combed yarn has the monthly rise of about 25% since the last quarter of FY 10-11. The ban on exports of cotton yarn by Pakistan also fueled the international prices overnight. The government of India also put restrictive measures in the first 3 quarters of the FY 10-11 to protect the domestic garment industry.

 

The measure started with removal of post exports benefits of DEPB and Drawback for yarn in April 2010, followed by compulsory registration of exports contract before shipment with the office of textile commissioner, followed by final punch of complete ban on the exports of yarn from November 2010 end. The government in Mid March 2011 partially relaxed the export curb by allocating quota for FY 10-11 based on the past performance. In April 2011, the Government lift the curb on exports of cotton yarn fully with a condition of pre registration with DGFT of the yarn export contract to monitor the annual quantity of 845 Million kg of cotton yarn exports.

 

In spite of the above, the segment has registered reasonable growth in top and bottom lines in the nine months operations. The growth in revenue terms is on account of inflationary trend in the product price and good parity due to this on account of holding of inventory of raw cotton procured before the setting of inflationary pressure.

 

The current trend is likely to return to be stabilising by end of first quarter. There would not be restrictive measures in the current FY from the government side also as Pakistan has also eased the curb on exports. The current FY therefore will be witnessing sustainable performance for this segment. Revenue from this Segment increased from Rs. 1805.800 millions to Rs. 2124.300 millions registering growth of 17.64 % as compared to previous financial year. Earning before interest and tax increased from Rs. 94.600 millions to Rs. 136.800 millions registering growth of 44.61 % as compared to previous financial year.

 

MAIZE PROCESSING SEGMENT

This segment has two plants one is located at Himatnagar in the State of Gujarat and another is located at Uttrakhand. The respective plants are catering the respective geographical areas of domestic as well as global market.

 

This segment continued to be the main contributory to the overall performance during the year. Increased productivity, better price realization and increase in demand of value added products of the Company made the maize processing segment to register better top line and bottom line performance during F.Y. 2010-11 as compared to F.Y. 2009-10.

 

The contribution from export of this segment has also grown up marginally. The demand of Indian corn products and other value added products is increasing both in domestic as well as international market due to its competitive advantage over other corn product supplier countries like US and China on account of lower cost of production.

 

The performance of this segment in current financial year 2011-12 is expected to be improving. With its capacity to cater demands for value added maize derivatives such as Dextrose Monohydrate, Malto Dextrin, Liquid Glucose and Sorbitol and increasing presence in international market for this segment, the Company expects better performance in F.Y. 2011-12 as compared to F.Y. 2010-11. Revenue from this Segment increased from Rs. 3438.500 millions to Rs. 4063.000 millions registering growth of 18.16 % as compared to previous financial year. Earning before interest and tax increased from Rs. 445.200 millions to Rs. 806.500 millions registering growth of 81.15% as compared to previous financial year. Considering the growth prospects of this segment, the Company has decided to increase the capacity of this segment by setting up a new plant in the State of Karnataka during current year.

 

WIND MILLS DIVISION AND CONTRIBUTION TO RENEWABLE ENERGY

The Company has presence in environment friendly renewable energy and has total investment in 8 wind turbines with total capacity of 8.45 MW. Over all performance of all wind turbines during the F.Y. 2010-11 was satisfactory and the same has contributed to reduction in power cost for both agro processing and maize processing divisions.

The carbon credit is vital part of the project and the company hopes to get recognition for the carbon credits for its 1.5 MW wind turbine.

 

Further to the Company’s objective to contribute to green environment, projects are undertaken at plant level also to generate power through renewable resources. The Company has taken initiative to install Bio-Digester, Bio-Gas Engine and Boiler using rise husk as feed to contribute to environment friendly objective of the Company. This will be an on going effort in future across all units.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND OVER ALL ANALYSIS

The performance during the last financial year as a whole is satisfactory considering the decent topline and improved bottomline under stable economic scenario. The company has been able to achieve better EBIDTA margin as compared to that of earlier year due to better price recovery and effective measures to control variable cost. Though, the performance of the agro processing segment was subdued, maize processing and cotton yarn segments have performed remarkably well and has resulted into better earnings for the Company. The products of various segments of the company are eligible for various export incentives.

 

OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR 2011-12

In the financial year 2010-11, the performance of various segments of the company is satisfactory. The company is also setting up new state of art plant for maize processing, derivatives and other value added products in the state of Karnataka. The total capital outlay for this project is estimated at around Rs.  1250.000 millions. The commercial production from the said plant is expected to start before December, 2011. This new project will help the maize processing division to gain more market share and will help the company by improving overall financial performance.

 

The company has de-bonded the cotton yarn unit during the year to be more competitive in domestic as well as export markets. The Company has also gone for modernization of plant by replacing spindles with new spindles and the same has started working during second half of the year. The unit has shown considerably better financial performance and outlook for this segment seems encouraging.
