INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE:

 

During the year the Stand-alone Sales/Income from Operations for the year ended 31st March, 2012 stood at Rs. 4276.422 Millions as against Rs. 4508.032 Millions in year ended 31st March, 2011. The Net Profit of the Company stood at Rs. 66.081 Millions.

 

In respect of Consolidated Accounts, the Sales / Income from Operations stood at Rs. 6525.999 Millions and the Net Loss stood at Rs. 336.439 Millions for the year ended 31st March, 2012 which was mainly attributable to increase in Cost of Materials which stood at Rs. 1357.257 Millions as against Rs. 889.790 Millions for the year ended 31st March, 2011.

 

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

 

The standalone turnover for the year ended 31st March, 2012, stood at 4188.164 Millions as against 4519.835 Millions. The turnover for the entire Ashapura Group stood at 6280.967 Millions as against 6183.225 Millions in the previous year.

 

The Company has a unique a Muti-Mineral business model wherein each of the Company’s Minerals caters to a diverse set of industries. This diversity of users in turn helps spread the industrial and geographical risks associated with the business.

 

The demand for the Company’s Minerals was fairly resilient for a better part of the financial year. Bentonite which is an important constituent of the Company’s Mineral portfolio is very versatile in its applications; it is used in iron ore pellatization, foundries, oil well drilling, etc. Value added Bentonite is also used in manufacture of paper and cosmetics. The Company’s Bentonite business exhibited a fairly healthy growth over last year on a consolidated basis. Bauxite the other important constituent of the Company’s Mineral portfolio is the primary ore for making Aluminium metal. Bauxite is also used as an additive in the Cement industry. Despite the benign metal prices for the second half of the financial year, the prices for Bauxite remained firm.

 

Bentonite and Bauxite together account for more than two thirds of the Company’s revenue on a standalone basis.

 

The Company sources Barytes and Iron Ore in India and exports them to several countries. Global volatility in both demand and prices coupled with supply constrains restricted the Company’s growth in these segments.

 

Mining being a primary industry, there is generally a time lag between the reflection of an economic acceleration or deceleration on the order book of the Company.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT:

 

Statements in this Management Discussion and Analysis describing the Company’s objectives, projections, estimates, expectations or predictions may be “forward looking statements” within the meaning of applicable laws and regulations. Forward looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. Important factors that could make a difference to the Company’s operations which among others include demand and supply of raw materials, energy and finished goods; cyclical changes in prices; significant changes in political and economic environment in India/ Abroad; changes in Government policies; tax regimes; exchange rate fluctuations; litigations; labour relations and acts of god.

 

The Management of Ashapura Minechem Limited presents the analysis of the performance of the Company during the year 2011-2012 and an outlook for the future, which is based on the assessment of the current business environment. The business environment may vary due to the future economic, political and other developments, both in India and Abroad.

 

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT:

 

The Indian economy grew at 6.5% in FY 2012 as compared to 8.4% in the FY 2011. Given the global headwinds and constraints within which the RBI has had to maneuver its monetary policy a sharpish deceleration seemed only natural. The illusion that the Indian economy would grow over 8% on autopilot has come apart, and the growing consensus is that India’s economy would need structural changes rather than fiscal or monetary band-aids to regain its momentum.

 

Globally, the state of the eurozone economies as a whole seems fragile from a growth perspective whereas the United States of America is unlikely to take any bold policy measures until the conclusion of its presidential elections. China hopefully isn’t running out of rabbits to pull out of its hat and would help balance the omnipresent gloom.

 

In conclusion, persistent weakness in the major developed countries over past few years has watered down the growth in demand for commodities and raw materials.

 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO:

 

Minerals are valuable natural resources being finite and non-renewable. On paper India has plentiful mineral reserves and has the potential to emerge as a global mineral and commodity powerhouse. Rationalization of the country’s regulatory framework for mining and energy sectors would propel growth in the economy as a whole and help the country reach its potential in mineral and commodity production and exports.

 

During the year, there was decline in mineral production due to various factors which among others were central and state government policies, restriction on exports, temporary discontinuance of mining for want of environmental clearance and such other. However, the Ministry of Mines has intended to undertake various measures under New National Mineral Policy which amongst other initiatives includes greater liberation, private sector involvement and nursing that the benefit of the economic activity in the mining sector flows equitably to the stakeholders. The said measures will bring uniformity in mineral administration across the country, ensures that the development of mineral resources keeps pace and is in consonance with the National goals.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

Global uncertainties have for the last couple of years impeded the growth in the demand for minerals; however the core demand base for minerals and ores remains fairly inelastic especially during downturns.

 

The Company’s two major mineral portfolios of Bentonite and Bauxite have continued to exhibit a healthy growth. Many of the downstream user industries such as iron ore pellatization, foundries, oil well drilling have thus far demonstrated exceptional demand resilience;

 

Benign freight rates and favorable foreign exchange rates have enhanced the competitiveness and value proposition of the Company’s mineral portfolio.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

 

The Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March, 2012, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1956 and the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India and are based on the historical cost convention on an accrual basis.

 

During the financial year under review, the net sales / income from operations of the Company stood at Rs.4276.422 Millions as compared to Rs. 4508.032 Millions in the previous year. Even though the quantum of mineral sold by the Company increased there was decline in the total realisation on account of sales mix.

 

The Company achieved Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) of Rs. 537.987 Millions (i.e. 12.58 % of revenue) as compared to the previous year’s EBITDA of Rs. 514.563 Millions (i.e. 11.41 % of revenue).

 

 

OPPORTUNITIES:

 

In a scenario of volatile metal and commodity prices, customers more than ever appreciate cost competitiveness, quality, consistency and punctuality. Over the years, the Company has established itself as a preferred and reliable raw materials supplier to many large companies and conglomerates world over, in uncertain economic environments reliability gets its due weightage. The Company’s ability to consistently ensure certainty of cost, quality and delivery for the customer in an uncertain business scenario is what makes it an outlier in the industry.

 

Many other mineral rich countries such as Indonesia are in the process of implementing policies that reduce the flow of minerals to global markets and such global supply imbalances may augur well for the Company.

 

 

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM AND ITS ADEQUACY:

 

The Company has a comprehensive system of internal controls designed to provide a high degree of assurance regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, the adequacy of safeguards for assets, the reliability of financial controls and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

The Company, with a view to encourage independent approach, has outsourced the function of internal auditors to qualified professionals, who conduct operational and system audits in accordance with an audit plan adopted by the audit committee.

 

Internal auditors as part of their assignment, evaluate and assess the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control measures and the compliance with policies, plans and statutory requirements. Recently upon recommendations of audit committee an initiative has been taken by senior management alongwith internal auditors to develop & document Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for various departments of the Company for detecting deviations so that timely remedial measures can be taken without inviting any significant loss.

 

The internal audit reports are reviewed at audit committee meetings and appropriate action on the recommendations is initiated by the management.
