Financial Analysis and Review of Operation :

 

During the year, the Company has been able to report sizeable increase in sales, profits and networth due to proactive approach and diversified businesses. Total Revenue has increased to Rs. 7528.400 millions during the year as compared to Rs. 6220.300 millions in the previous year. The profit before tax and profit after tax during the year have increased significantly by 73.63% and 113.69% respectively, as compared to the previous year.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The industry structure, development, performance, opportunities, threats and outlook of each activities, internal control systems and industrial relations have been discussed in paragraphs to follow.

 

Tea Division

 

There was a significant increase in world production of tea due to favourable weather prevailing in major tea producing countries like Kenya, Sri Lanka and China, but India’s production was lower by around 13 Million kgs compared to the previous year due to adverse weather conditions and severe pest attacks in Assam. Domestic demand for tea rose resulting in decrease inexports by about 8 Million Kgs compared to last year. North India auction prices were marginally higher with a significant difference between quality and non-quality tea.

 

During the year, the Division has produced 9.01 million kgs of Tea, being 0.27 million kgs. lesser than last year. However, realisation increased by Rs.7.34 per Kg, which reflects the premium the product enjoys in the market. As reported last year, packet segment is expected to increase its presence in markets in the coming years. Inspite of competition, the Directors hope to achieve higher exports of tea by expanding market base. In current year, upto March, there is no significant change in production of major tea producing countries except for deterioration in Kenya, due to hot and dry spell. With a strong domestic demand and minimal carry forward stock, Indian market is poised to remain firm in the current year, particularly for quality tea. However, inflaming consequence on wages and other input costs like coal, gas, chemicals and fertilizer may add to the overall cost of production. The Division is determined to stand by its policy of continuous improvement of quality and implementation of schemes for replanting and upgrading the gardens and factory. While business is all relative, as long as Mother Nature stays in a good mood and people’s desire for their refreshments remain high, production and pricing will not hold tea down.

 

All the tea estates of the Company are ISO 9001:2008 and HACCP certified.

 

Engineering (MICCO) Division

 

The Division is engaged in EPC contracts covering wide range of projects in steel plants, aluminium plants etc. involving, interalia, structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation as well as refractory works. Government Policies for growth in infrastructure in India will have direct impact on growth in Steel Industry, which is the primary area of focus of the Division. There has been steady growth in business and turnover compared to previous year.

Apart from bagging further Orders, the Division has achieved new milestones in the year by way of obtaining a contract from Tata Steel for the largest Gasholder in the world alongwith its overseas associate, M/s. MBL – CWG, U.K., thereby establishing itself in new territory of work by commissioning the rebuilding of Battery No.10 of IISCO Steel Plant. This Division has also clinched a job alongwith another associate, Siemens VAI, for a major Blast Furnace upgradation in RINL, which is no less an achievement.

 

This Division is making efforts to diversify its activities by exploring possibilities in Power and other Sectors. The Directors hope to do better in the coming years.

 

Textile Division

 

The year was marked by an increase in the prices of raw cotton to all time high with consequent rise in other fibres prices, significantly.

 

This added by unavailability of power and skilled labour, even at higher rate and ever increasing cost of finance has driven up the prices of cotton and synthetic yarns to an unprecedented level. This has led to uproar and protest from the user industry thereby deteriorating the business environment within the entire realm of textile chain.

 

Frequent changes in the Policy Guidelines and intervention of the Government like withdrawal of DEPB on cotton yarn, imposition of quota on raw cotton and cotton yarn export, withdrawal of TUF Scheme and imposition of excise duty on branded garments has resulted in uncertainty, which further added to the catastrophe of the entire Textile Industry. The need of the hour is that the Government should have an integrated approach and to draw up a long term policy guidelines looking into the benefit of the entire textile chain. The cotton crop for 2010-2011 is estimated at 31.200 millions bales, which is slightly higher, as compared to 29.500 millions bales, in the previous year. However, the lower carry forward stock of raw cotton resulting due to lower global production is a matter of concern.

 

The start of the current year was marked with softening of prices of yarn with consequent softening of prices of raw cotton and other fibre, which resulted in huge inventories of yarn with the Mills. The restart of TUF Scheme by the Government is a welcome step in this hour of crisis.

 

Despite the above, the overall performance of the Division during the year was satisfactory. The production during the year increased from 18,174 M.T. in 2010 to 19,292 M.T. in 2011.

 

Although the first six months of the current year is expected to be difficult for the industry, but increase in domestic consumption in India and increase of cost in China, the world’s biggest exporter, will help in the revival and growth of the Indian Textile Industry. In view of the same, the Directors are hopeful that the division will perform reasonably in the given situation.

 

Chemical (Waldies) Division

 

During the year, the overall performance of the division has been satisfactory and outlook for the current year is promising. Efforts are continuing for improvement in the operation of this division. The Directors hope that this division will perform better in the coming years. The Division enjoys ISO 9001 certification for its quality management systems and ISO 14001 certification for its environmental management systems. It also enjoys OHSAS 18001 certification for its occupational health and safety management systems.

 

Trading Division

 

As reported earlier, demand for Cement Paint is continuously declining due to shifting of consumer preference to Emulsion Paints. Nevertheless, turnover of the Division has increased with focus on other products such as CPVC and PVC pipes.

 

They are optimistic to enter into an agreement with a renowned Company for agency of marketing their products including Emulsion Paint. The Directors expect that this Division will yield better results in the coming years.

 

Property Division

 

The division posted higher rental income during the year on account of increase in occupancy. Efforts are continuing towards further increasing the occupancy and ensuring improvement in facility, safety and security of the tenants.

 

Internal Control System and their adequacy

 

The Company has proper and adequate system of internal controls. Independent professional firms of Chartered

Accountants conduct the audit of the various divisions, units, factories, sites, branches and its corporate offices. The audit findings are reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and corrective action, as deemed necessary, are taken.

 

The Company has also laid down procedures to safeguard and protect all assets and ensure that the transactions are authorized, recorded and reported correctly.

 

Certificate given by your Managing Director, CEO and CFO in the Corporate Governance report confirms the adequacy of the Company’s internal control systems and procedures.
