INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Uptick in agriculture and construction spread some cheer as the economy grew a higher-than-expected 4.8 % in the three months through September. Manufacturing rose an annual rate per cent during the quarter and mining fell by 0.4 %, government data showed while farm output rose 46%.

 

India has emerged as the most attractive investment destination, thanks to a relaxation in foreign direct investment norms, says a report. India is followed by Brazil and China in the ranking part of EY’s Capital Confidence Barometer report based on a survey across 70 nations. The US, France and Japan have emerged as the top three investors likely to invest in India.

 

India has been ranked 83rd globally in terms of talent competitiveness of its human capital.  Switzerland, Singapore, Denmark, Sweden and Luxembourg are the top five in the list of 103 nations compiled by INSEAD business school.

 

Tax rates for companies in India are among the highest in the world and the number of payments is also more than the global average putting the country at low, 158th rank on the Paying Taxes. 2014 list by the World Bank and PWC. However, the time taken for tax payments is relatively less in India which is rated ahead of China and Japan.

 

1 billion smartphone shipments in 2013, a 39.3 % growth over 2012. This was being driven by low cost computing in emerging markets. By 2017, total smartphone shipments are expected to approach 1.7 billion units, resulting in a compound annual growth rate of 18.4 % between 2013 and 2017, according to research from IDC.

 

20 % vacancy rate of office space in Mumbai and Delhi in the third quarter, the highest in Asia after Chengdu, in China. According to Cushman and Wakefield, six Indian cities are among the 10 office markets with the worst vacancies.

 

Foreign banks will not have to pay stamp duty and capital gains tax, if they convert their branch operations into a wholly owned subsidiary, according to the Reserve Bank of India.

 

The Reserve Bank of India is planning to launch CPI – indexed bonds aimed to protecting the savings of retail investors from the impact the price rise by December end.

 

Central Bureau of Investigation has booked State Bank of India, Deputy Managing Director Shyamal Acharya and others in a graft case related to distribution of a loan of over Rs 4000 mn. Gold and jewellery worth Rs 6.7 mn have been recovered from the residence of Acharya.

NOTE

 

As per the package scheme of incentive, the Company was allowed to accumulate the sales tax collected from customers in respect of goods produced at Lote Factory for the first ten years of commencement of the Factory.

 

As per the repayment terms of the above facility to the Company, repayment would start from FY 2013-14 over 5 annual installments (after the end of 10 years) aggregating to Rs. 49.657 Millions (Previous year Rs. 40.683 Millions) (amount being equal to the amount collected and accrued as sales tax payable annually).

 

 

SCHEME OF AMALGAMATION

 

The Scheme of Amalgamation (the Scheme) of Schenectady (India) Holdings Private Limited (SIHPL) with the Company was sanctioned by the Honorable High Court of Bombay on 25 November 2011. The Scheme was accordingly given effect to, using the pooling of interest method as per AS 14 Accounting for Amalgamation, in the financial statements which include the assets and liabilities of SIHPL with effect from 1 April 2011 (?the Appointed date?) and the results for the year ending 31 March 2012.

 

The erstwhile Schenectady (India) Holdings Private Limited was a subsidiary of SI Group, Inc. USA and was the holding Company of SI Group-India Limited.

 

On the Scheme becoming effective the accounting in the books of the Company was as under:-

 

The Company recorded all the assets and liabilities of SIHPL transferred to and vested in the Company pursuant to this Scheme at their respective book values as appearing in the books of SIHPL.

 

The Company discharged the consideration of Rs. 352.316 Millions by issue of 35.232 Millions fully paid up equity shares of face value of Rs. 10 each to the members of SIHPL holding fully paid up equity shares and whose names appear in the Register of Members of the Company as on the Record Date and accordingly Share Capital Account of the Company was credited by this amount.

The General Reserve of SIHPL was merged with the respective General Reserve and Securities Premium Account of the Company;

 

On merger becoming effective, SIHPL ceased to exist and therefore, the extant provisions of Reserve Bank of India for Non-Banking Financial Companies did not apply. In view of the above, the Statutory Reserve in the books of SIHPL as on the Appointed Date became General Reserve of the Company with effect from the Appointed date.

 

Loans or other obligations, if any, due between or amongst SIHPL and the Company were not otherwise discharged or liquidated by either of the companies, stood discharged and/or cancelled and were of no effect and SIHPL or the Company, as the case may be and there were no further obligations outstanding in that behalf.

 

The difference between the amount of net assets taken over by the Company and the value of consideration issued to the shareholder of SIHPL was credited to the Amalgamation Reserve Account in the Company, which cannot be used for distribution of dividend.

 

On merger, investments in the equity capital of the Company made by SIHPL were cancelled and Equity share capital of the Company were reduced to the extent of the face value of shares held by SIHPL. Excess of cost of investment of SIHPL over the face value of shares held by the Company was adjusted against the Securities Premium Account.

 

 

OPERATIONS REVIEW

 

The sales turnover at Rs. 115.400 Millions was higher by 4% compared to that of the previous year. The increase in turnover is due to higher inflationary selling prices of finished goods. The financial performance during the year under review was adversely impacted by the steep increase in input cost. Competition and slowdown in the economy also impacted the overall margins of the company.

 

Their Company received the prestigious Indian National Energy Conservation Award (Second prize) from Government of India in India for outstanding efforts in energy saving in chemical sectors for the year 2012 for efforts on utility cost reduction at its Rasal unit.

 

Various other cost saving measures were also implemented at all the sites which included liquid jet ejectors in different plants, heat integration system in DPO plant at Navi Mumbai, fuel switch over at Lote unit from diesel to LSHS, installation of de-super heaters at Navi Mumbai and VFDs to cooling water pumps at Lote unit. Further, process improvement and intensification efforts continued at all sites to improve yields and utility consumptions.

 

 

PRODUCTION

 

The combined production at the Navi Mumbai, Rasal, Lote and Ranjangaon units for the year ended March 31, 2013 was 173,145 MT as against 174,642 MT in the previous year, a marginal decrease of 1%.

 

Production during the year ended March 31, 2013 at the Navi Mumbai unit was 1,36,265 MT, being lower by 5% compared to 143,192 MT during the previous year.

SALES AND EXPORTS

 

During the financial year Raw material prices continued to increase, however finished products prices did not move in tandem.

 

The Government of India removed anti dumping duty on Phenol imported from US and Taiwan in the month of March 2012, which furtherimpacted their margin.

 

During the year 2012-13, the Company has laid emphasis on downstream products to improve the market share. Their customer engagement allows their customers to stay productively engaged with the Company.

 

During the year, exports aggregated to Rs. 2130.000 Millions FOB (previous year Rs. 1830.000 Millions) an increase of 16% over the previous year.

 

 

FINANCE

 

During the year, the Company did not accept any fresh deposits or renew any existing deposits from the public or shareholders. As of March 31, 2013, deposits aggregating Rs. 0.044 Million had matured for payment but not paid/deposited with the concerned authority under regulatory advice.
