MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

General Performance Review

Amidst the financial volatility world over, the Indian economy registered a growth of 8.5 percent in 2010–11. The growth has been broad based with a rebound in the agriculture sector. The manufacturing sector has also registered impressive gains.

 

However food inflation, higher commodity prices and volatility in global commodity markets have been a cause of concern underscoring the need of fiscal consolidation and stronger reserves.

 

The key risks to growth in India in the current year 2011 -12 are the negative impact of continuous tightening of monetary policy by the Reserve Bank of India and a slowdown in global growth due to high international oil and commodity prices.

 

India’s merchandise exports rose an annual 37.5% to USD 246 billion in the fiscal year ended in March 2011, as demand soared for engineering goods, oil products and textiles. However, the signs in the economy suggest that it is a weak recovery since the financial slowdown in 2008.


 

Industry Structure and Development:

Gems and jewellery exports recorded 47% growth in value terms, during the Financial Year 2010-2011. The Cut and Polished Diamond exports, which was the driving force, registered an increase of 55% for the year ended March, 2011, while gold jewellery exports increased by 33%.

 

The gems and jewellery sector, in turn, contributed nearly 17% to India’s total merchandise exports. Cut and Polished Diamonds accounted for 65.49% of the total exports baskets with Gold Jewellery accounting for 29.86%. After plunging on falling demand during the slowdown, diamond prices have risen over 50% in financial year 2010-11, while rough diamond prices have surpassed pre-crises levels. Going forward, the European market still appears mired in depressed demand, while the sustainability of the nascent US demand is yet to be seen.

 

The diamond sector in India is cautiously optimistic that the tide is turning for the better for the industry per se. Factors like, significantly lower inventory levels as compared to the period of financial crisis, a huge jump in export numbers, lower unemployment levels and stable rough diamond prices, all reveal a resurgence in the sector which was so critically impacted during the financial crisis when demand from developed countries plummeted.

 

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS:

Trading in the diamond market increased during the year under review. Exports of Cut and Polished diamonds increased from $18.24 billion (Rs.8609.500 Millions) in 2009-10 to $28.25 billion (Rs.12867.100 Millions) in 2010-11. The total imports in the Gems and Jewellery industry exhibited over all increase of 28.42 % to $ 4.85 billion when compared to the previous year ($3.77 billion in 2009-10). The import of Rough Diamonds increased by 38%.

 

Company’s Financial Performance

The company has recorded a gross sale of Rs.1,05.800 Millions during the current accounting period ended 31st March, 2011 as against Rs.1,26.300 Millions for the previous year.

 

The Profit Before Tax (PBT) for the current accounting period was Rs.766.200 Millions (Profit of Rs.894.500 Millions for year ended 31st March, 2010) and the Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs.620.500 Millions (Profit of Rs. 704.00 Millions for the year ended 31st March, 2010).

 

Looking Ahead

The Company is constantly looking for increasing its turnover by exploring and penetrating in the new markets as well as expanding its presence in the existing markets. With the distinctive indications of revival in the developed economies of the world, the management also has a positive business outlook. The industry is optimistic of surpassing its lean period.

 

Diamond Business

The Company is a Sightholder of DTC UK and DTC Botswana and is thus assured of continued supply of rough diamonds for its cutting and polishing facilities in India and Botswana. The company also imports its requirement of rough diamond from other countries including diamond mining countries. The company would not face shortage of supply of rough diamonds and would continue to aggressively market its products and services to its customers world-wide.

 

Jewellery Business

The Company would be looking to work closely with its key retail clients in the US and the European markets and at the same time also look to build its business in emerging markets like India, Middle East and China.

 


OPPORTUNITIES:

 

Opportunities and Challenges

The Company foresees opportunities in

 

Good economic growth in emerging markets like India, China, Hong Kong and Middle-East on the back of continuing strong growth in demand supported by increase in purchasing power will lead to increased demand of diamond studded Jewellery.

Continuous supply of Rough diamonds from Botswana.

 

Challenges

 

Shortage of rough diamond supply to India due to local beneficiation policy in producing countries.

The Euro-zone and the US economy impact in the reviving Global economy.

Volatility in gold and diamond prices.

DIAMOND INDUSTRY – INDIA

 

-          From time immemorial, India is well known in the world as the birthplace for diamonds.  It is difficult to trace the origin of diamonds but history says that in the remote past, diamonds were mined only in India. Diamond production in India can be traced back to almost 8th Century B.C.  India, in fact, remained undisputed leader till 18th Century when Brazilian fields were discovered in 1725 followed by emergence of S. Africa, Russia and Australia.

-          The achievement of the Indian diamond industry was possible only due to combination of the manufacturing skills of the Indian workforce and the untiring and unflagging efforts of the Indian diamantaires, supported by progressive Government policies.

-          The area of study of family owned diamond businesses derives its importance from the huge conglomerate of family run organizations which operate in the diamond industry since many generations.

-          Some of the basic traits of family run business enterprises include spirit of entrepreneurship, mutual trust lowers transaction costs, small, nimble and quick to react, information as a source of advantage and philanthropy.

-          Family owned diamond businesses need to improve on many fronts including higher standard of corporate governance, long-term performance – focused strategies, modern management and technology.

-          The diamond jewellery industry in India today may be more than Rs 60000 mil and is rated amongst the fastest growing  in the world. Indi ranks third in the world in domestic diamond consumption.

-          Utmost caution is to be exercised while dealing with some medium and large diamond traders which are usually engaged in fictitious import – export, inter-company transactions, financially assisted by banks. In the process, several public sector banks lost several hundred million rupees. They mostly diverted borrowed money for diamond business into real estate and capital markets.

-          Excerpts from Times of India dated 30th October 2010 is as under –

 

 

DIAMOND SAGA – DIRTY DOZEN STUCK WITH 2K CR DEBT

This could be the biggest credibility crisis the Indian diamond industry has ever faced. Fifteen banks run the risk of losing Rs 2000 crore lent to a dozen diamond firms in Surat. Until about two months ago, they had not repaid  these dues. Bankers believe many diamantaires borrowed money during the economic downturn two years ago and diverted funds to businesses like real estate and capital markets. Many of themselves made money from these businesses but their diamond companies have gone sick and declared insolvency.

-          Most of the money borrowed from the banks in the name of their diamond business has been diverted in real estate and the share market. The banks are not in a position to seize their properties because in many cases, these were purchased in the name of their relatives and friends.
