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.

The year 2011-12 was a very special year as the Company has entered in the 25th year since inception and over these years; the Company has gained the trust and loyalty of the consumers and all its stakeholders. Symphony endured some good times and some bad times during this journey and has managed to come up trumps by virtue of working on a foundation of ethics and values and today ‘Symphony’ is well recognised in air cooler industry.

 

The Company continues to achieve improved business results year-after-year regardless of the challenging market environment. This has been possible due to initiatives which focused on consumers and development of their market network, a stronger focus on innovation, greater effectiveness and efficiency, while strengthening organisational leadership.

 

Besides being market leader in the air cooler industry, there are strong competitors in India and abroad having similar products as the Company. The Company has managed to stay in this competition; thanks to the superior quality, excellent features, technical competence, effective distribution channel, efficient logistic facilities, after sales services and customer relationship it has provided over the years.

 

The Company has consciously developed its intellectual property rights in the form of trademarks and designs among others, for different models of air coolers as well as through the logo and corporate brand ‘Symphony’. The Company has registrations of large numbers in India as well as in several countries world over. The Company believes that its trademarks and designs play a key role in its brand-building and marketing efforts. The ‘Symphony’ brand name today is one which elicits trust in the industry in the country as well as in the world.

 

The Company’s growth is catalysed by product innovation it brings to the market and also by ensuring that there is innovation in terms of overall quality and new features. The strategy offers consumers a choice from a range of air coolers. The Company will continue to retain its focus on driving innovation in future.

 

The Company, as a matter of long-term strategy, continues to support research and development in areas of clean technology and energy efficiency to mitigate the impact of adverse climate changes. With the aforementioned initiatives the Company is confident to uphold growth by exploiting opportunities in the years to come.

 

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

The performance of the Company remained satisfactory in 2011-12, despite the difficult economic scenario worsened by stiff competition and towering inflationary market conditions resulting in higher input costs. Depreciation of rupee also imposed rigorous challenges during the year. Despite such an exigent environment, the Company achieved considerable growth during the year.

 

The Company’s operating performance during the year 2011-12, on standalone basis represented new elevations in terms of sales, profits, and net worth. During the year, the Company recorded sales turnover of Rs. 2501.300 Millions, representing a growth of 7.46% over the previous year’s sales of Rs. 2327.600 Millions. The Company has registered profit before tax of Rs. 697.800 Millions, as compared to the previous year’s figure of Rs. 661.800 Millions. The Company also witnessed improvement in profit after tax of Rs.503.400 Millions, as compared to Rs. 449.300 Millions, registering a growth of 12% over the previous year 2011-12.

 

Cash generation continued to be comfortable during the year due to growth in performance, efficiencies and savings across the organisation and continued efficiency in the collection system. The Company managed its investment portfolio sensibly by deploying extra funds after ensuring that such investments met with the Company’s criteria of safety and security.

 

The Company continued to expand its nation-wide market network and currently has 766 distributors and 14975 dealers present 4336 towns with adequate warehousing facilities strategically located across the country. TheCompany is in the process of further strengthening the operating structure of its marketing initiatives to penetrate into the vast dormant markets of the country. On the after- sales service front, the Company expanded its network of service franchisees with the 'Nation-wide Customer Care Number’ to reach all important locations pan-India, for timely and efficient after-sales service.

 

Over the years, the Company has taken various innovative steps in order to offer a wide variety of air coolers in terms of different models and features. Today, the Company manufactures 15 different models of air coolers to suit different requirements of customers. The Company launched a couple of new models of air coolers, namely Strom 100E and Strom 70E, the world’s largest tower coolers, feature-packed with an LCD panel and a full-function remote control. The product was positioned as the ‘Bade Ghar Ka Cooler’ for cooling large spaces. The Company also introduced new Diet 8E, Diet 22E and Diet 50E with advanced electronics features. All these new models were promoted by special television campaign and channels like Star CJ and Home Shop 18. The Company has also introduced upgraded model of Hicool. Buoyed by these superior models, the Company is confident to tap the mammoth scope of prospective rural and urban markets.

 

To tap this potential market, the Company has recruited a competent team of professionals in several countries all over the world. In order to fully leverage all these improvements and strategies, the Company has expanded its team coupled with aggressive advertisement and promotional campaigns in print and electronic media.

 

 

AIR COOLERS - DOMESTIC OPERATIONS

 

Symphony is now the world leader in air coolers and had launched the ‘First Summer Concept’, in the year 2011- 12, a novel drive undertaken for early sales during nonpeak periods, yielding quite encouraging results. Television campaigns like ‘Garmi Lagti Hai to Garmi Hai’ has been quite instrumental in communicating the message that even in non-season months of October / November, i.e First Summer, if the ‘Garmi’ (heat) is felt, the air cooler provides comfort.

 

On the rural side, there has been visible evolution in consumption patterns, with increasing demand for quality and branded goods, though pricing and affordability continued to remain an essential parameter. The very attractiveness of Indian consumer market is leading to aggressive competition among key players which have been dealt with by the Company through tactical advertising and promotional drives and offering superior value for every rupee spent.

 

Various models of industrial air coolers manufactured by the step-down subsidiary company, Impco S. DE. R. L.

DE. C.V., Mexico, (Impco). The Company also foresees enormous potential for the industrial air coolers manufactured by Impco, Mexico.

 

 

INDUSTRIAL AIR COOLERS

 

Symphony has recently ventured into industrial air cooler category offering cooling solutions for large spaces at a low capital and a negligible operating cost. These cooling solutions are ideal where air conditioning is either not feasible or extremely expensive. The stateof- the-art product provides high efficiency cooling with modular units and is set to change the established tenets of the air cooling market in India. Symphony is currently the only brand in this segment with successful installations in sectors like auto, pharma, textile, etc. and educational institutes, convention halls, showrooms, restaurants, among others. With rising temperatures, costs and energy constraints, industrial air cooling category is set to expand in the years to come.

 

 

AIR COOLERS - OVERSEAS OPERATIONS

 

On overseas business front in the year 2011-12, the revenues of the Company grew by 6 % from

Rs. 386.000 Millions in 2010-11 to Rs. 409.600 Millions in 2011-12. Presently, the Company exports to about 60 countries, with a huge potential yet to be tapped.

 

The year witnessed external challenging conditions due to political turmoil and instability in key countries of the Middle East and the North African region, leading to demand contraction coupled with inflationary setbacks. Despite this, the Company’s business continued to sustain and the operating margins of exports improved fairly during the year reflecting the strength of the products and the brand in the overseas markets. External conditions are expected to return to normalcy and the Company can foresee to grow further in the years to come.

 

 

IMPCO S. DE. R.L.DE. C.V, MEXICO

 

Symphony today is not just a well-known brand in India. The Symphony brand name now has a growing presence in consumers’ minds, in markets within India as well as abroad. Impco S.DE. R.L.DE. C.V.

MANAGEMENT DISCTHEMSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Global economy

 

From a positive beginning in 2011, the global environment turned adverse in the second half owing to the turmoil in the eurozone and monetary imbalance in emerging economies. Notwithstanding the relatively strong activity in the US and Japan, global economic trade and growth slowed. Global GDP grew 3.9% in 2011, lower than 5.3% in 2010. Despite volatility in the global economy, global trade volume (merchandise and services) expanded 6.4% in 2011, which was 100 bps higher than the ten-year average. Capital flows to developing nations declined by half in 2011.

 

As per the World Economic Outlook, global economic growth is expected to slow to 3.3% in 2012, largely because the eurozone economy is expected to trip into a mild recession in 2012. Growth in emerging and developing economies is expected to average 5.4% - a drop from the 6.2% growth in 2011. Despite this downward revision, developing countries of Asia are projected to grow at 7.5% in 2012. Inflation in the advanced economies is likely to ease to 1.9% in 2012 (2.7% in 2011) and 6.2% in 2012 in emerging economies (7.1% in 2011), reflecting a tempering of commodity prices following subdued economic growth.

 

 

Indian economy

 

Though India’s economic growth declined to 6.5% in 2011-12, its lowest in nine years, the country continued to remain one of the fastest-growing economies. Global factors such as the eurozone crisis, geopolitical disturbances and climatic extremities contributed to the domestic economic slowdown. Domestic factors like monetary tightening and an increase in the repo rate slowed industrial investment and growth.

 

The rupee lost more than 20% of its value during the year, making it one of the worst performing currencies in Asia, widening India’s trade deficit and impacting its current account deficit. According to Planning Commission estimates, India is expected to grow at about 8% across the Twelfth Five Year Plan, even as inflation continues to be a significant challenge.

 

 

Air coolers

 

An air cooler cools air through evaporation of water. An evaporative cooler produces effective cooling by combining a natural process - water evaporation - with a simple, reliable air-moving system. In this process, fresh external air is pulled through moist pads where it is cooled by evaporation and circulated through a house or building by a large blower. As this happens, the temperature of the outside air is lowered by as much as 300 C.

 

These are some of the product characteristics of air coolers:

 

·         They are energy-efficient as they consume nearly one-tenth of energy which an air-conditioner consumes.

 

·         Their estimated cost of installation is about half that of a central air conditioner.

 

·         The two mechanical parts in most basic evaporative coolers are the fan motor and water pump, both of which can be repaired at a minimal cost and often by an average ‘mechanically-inclined’ homeowner.

 

·         They require low maintenance as one rarely needs to summon a mechanic for maintenance or troubleshooting as in the case of ACs.

 

·         The refrigerant is water; no special refrigerants (ammonia, sulphur dioxide or CFCs) are used that could be toxic, expensive, ozone depleting, subject to stringent licensing or environmental-regulations.

 

·         They use fresh, clean air making it possible to keep windows open for light and better air circulation.

 

 

Air coolers market

 

Air coolers are environment-friendly. Unlike air conditioners, which release CFC compounds, air coolers do not emit hazardous greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. Besides, air coolers consume only about 5-10% electricity compared to air conditioners. Unlike air conditioners which circulate and recycle stale air, air coolers draw, filter and deliver fresh air.

 

The Rs. 10000.000 Millions Indian air cooler industry is fragmented across a number of unorganised players with organised brands comprising Kenstar, Usha, Bajaj, Orient Fans, Khaitan and Maharaja. India’s aircooler penetration is a mere 3% corresponding to 2 million units per annum while the size of the expensive air-conditioner market is estimated at 3.2m million units.

 

Over the years, the markets for air coolers and airconditioners have grown as consumers have graduated to both: from fans to air-coolers and from air-coolers to air conditioners. The prospects for the country’s air-cooler market is reflected in a huge Indian rural and semi-urban under-penetration, now marked by rising temperatures, increasing income levels and superior lifestyle aspirations.

Sales Tax

The Contingent Liability towards sales tax is Rs.225.290 Millions (previous year Rs.225.410 Millions). The amount of Rs.224.657 Millions (out of Rs.225.290 Millions) is demand by Sales Tax department, Gujarat for the years, 1993-94, 1994-95, 1995-96, 1997-98 and 1999-2000. This is on account of Sales Tax department, Gujarat, treating branch transfer and sales outside Gujarat as local sales, for lack of F and C forms. These forms have been completely destroyed alongwith other as they were kept in basement storage, which was flooded during the heavy rains of 20" on July 13, 2000 in Ahmedabad. This demand is despite the company having paid sales tax in respective states on such branch transfers and sales out of Gujarat. The Government of Gujarat has issued a letter dated 18.10.2005 to the Commissioner of Sales Tax to grant relief for destroyed in this instance. Hon'ble Commissioner of Sales Tax has granted administrative relief in the past in cases of such calamities. The matter is now pending before the Appellate authority. As advised by legal counsel, considering the merits of the case, no provision is required to be made in the books of accounts.

 

The company's VAT/Sales tax assessments in the State of Gujarat are completed up to the year 2007-08. There is no other demand pending for any year in Gujarat state except above

 

Income Tax

Income- Tax assessments of the Company have been completed up to Assessment Year 2009-10. The Company has filed appeal against the demand of Rs.7.815 Millions raised for Assessment Year 2009-10. Based on the decisions of the Appellate authorities and the interpretations of other relevant provisions, the Company has been legally advised that the demand is likely to be either deleted or substantially reduced and accordingly, no provision has been made.
