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.

Overview:

 

Astra is engaged in designing and manufacturing of high value added RF and microwave super components and sub-systems finding applications in Defense, Space and Civil communication systems.

 

Financial Analysis:

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the guideline as laid out in the Companies Act, 1956 and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India. The management of Astra accepts responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of these financial statements. The financial statements reflect in a true and fair manner, the form and substance of transactions, and reasonably present the company’s state of affairs and profits for the year.

 

Operational performance:

 

For the year top line has crossed Rs.2000.000 millions recording a growth of 26% over previous year and has achieved a bottom line (profit after tax) Rs.332.000 millions. After relatively few flat years, the Company has shown improved performance and has adequate orders on hand which will enable it to record good growth in the coming years.

 

The Company has invested significant resources both financially and time wise in indigenous defence development programs .These sustained efforts have now begun to bear fruits as some of these programs have moved to production stage .This will help the Company to achieve much faster growth in the top line in

the years to come.

 

The Company which has established itself as a reliable source for indigenous defence requirements has become an active offset partner for Defence offset requirements. It is the first among private companies to bag an offset related export order in the year 2008, when the Government opened such window of opportunities. Over the years though the offset programs moved slowly, AMPL was concentrating on establishing its credibility through its quality and timely supplies to its overseas customers. This confidence has enabled AMPL to bag and accumulate more than Rs.3500.000 millions export orders at the end of this year. With an early mover status in terms of adherence to quality monitoring systems specified by the importers abroad, now AMPL is poised for noticeable growth in such exports as our country ably supported by the Govt. of India is going to witness a surge in the offset based export business.

 

Sales performance:

As always Defence sector has contributed more compared to other sectors and this pattern will continue in the coming years too.

 

The production orders of Akash missile and some of the Radars programs are driving the growth and this phase has just started. We are likely to see improved growth in indigenous defence business as more and more projects move from development phase to production stage.

 

Defence offset requirement has finally taken off and the Company has bagged handsome order which will give good volume growth for the next two to three years.

 

Space sector has a steady run during the year and is likely to improve. The radar imaging satellite (RISAT-I) for which critical sub-systems were supplied by us was successfully launched during the year and the Company’s contribution was appreciated. This launch being first of its kind in the indigenous programs of ISRO, we are all the more delighted with our contribution in the Nation building endeavor. More and more such programs are likely to be taken up in future where the Company will have a major role to play.

 

Expansion plans:

 

As the company has seen a steady increase in volume production business, it has decided to strengthen some of the production process related functions which are outsourced up to now. These functions are advanced welding facility, Laser welding facility and EMI/EMC test facilities. Addition of these facilities though will not contribute to volume growth in business; it will facilitate meeting high end quality standards without loss of much time and will enhance customer’s confidence in timely deliveries of right products.

 

Other proposed expenditure pertains to creating additional production and R&D capacities. The Company also intend to set-up Development and Production facilities at Bangalore where it has major Defense Market customers like LRDE,CABS,BEL etc., Part of the project cost includes cost of 5 acres of industrial land at Aerospace Hardware Park development by Karnataka State. The estimated expansion budget is around Rs.320.000 millions out of which the loan component will be around Rs.230.000 millions.

 

Results of Operations:

 

For the year the top line has crossed Rs. 2000.000 millions, with a growth of 26% over previous year with a bottom line (profit after tax) of Rs. 332.000 millions. The Company's top line has grown cumulatively more than 90% in the last two years with more than 100% growth in the bottom line. In the last two years the return on capital employed has improved to 17% from 5%. The Company has always distributed liberal dividends over the ears. Maintaining this trend, it has declared 35% dividend for the year up from 25% of last year.
