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.

OPERATION

 

The year 2009 - 10 was one of turnaround and further consolidation for the company. The company has achieved 39.99% growth in turnover as compared to the year 2008 - 09. During the year the company has sustained a cash loss of Rs. 12.244 millions. This cash loss can be attributed mainly due to a one time project termination cost of Rs 32.086 millions, which occurred because the company had decided to close the operation in respect of the Common Citizen Centers (herein referred to as "CSC" or "Projects") in the state of Uttaranchal, Uttarpradesh, Tripura and Sikkim due to the said projects becoming unviable due to inability of the respective Governments to meet their commitments and support and cut the mounting losses on the projects. With exclusion of this project termination" cost the company has made a cash profit of Rs. 19.841 millions from its operations. The management also informs that the earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBIDTA) from operation in the current financial year excluding onetime project write off has turned positive at Rs. 54.690 millions as compared to loss of Rs. 389.937 millions in the earlier year.

 

During the year the company launched a new product with an intention to provide social welfare benefits for the rural masses called "UNNATI". "UNNATI" has been designed to address some are primary welfare needs of the rural population such as micro Insurance, basip digital literacy and mobile connectivity which have been packaged together to form UNNATI. The objective of the scheme is to bridge some fundamental needs and inclusive growth by providing the citizens tools to access the mainstream economic activity. The product has met with reasonable success and contributed to the improvement in the profit of the company.

 

As a matter of financial prudence, the company has, after completing two out of three contracted phases covering 85% of the volume, exited with mutual consent, the project for scanning and digitization of LIC policies due to unfavourable rates in the incremental phase.

 

The company continued execution of the "Comprehensive Computerization of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs" during the year and successfully completed the distribution of majority of the ration cards to families in Karnataka. The company has started setting up of II Phase of the project during the year.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

Keeping with the Company's core long term vision of providing information based services to rural citizens, the company will be focusing its attention on 4 main business verticals in the coming year including Food Maintenance, Nemmadi, UID and rural welfare services like Unnati.

 

The Company sees enormous potential for participation in the prestigious "Aadhar" project announced by Government, of India set up under the Unique Identification Authority (UtD), Due to its past experience and skills in demographic and biometric collection, the company is uniquely position to participate in the enrolment of citizens in the said project and has identified this as a major thrust area in the coming years. The Company has successfully completed the "Proof of Concept" for the UID authority and Government of Karnataka in the Mysore and Tumkur districts of Karnataka and started its pilot in the district of Mysore, Karnataka. The company is driving its efforts to obtain contracts for enrolments in various other States and Registrars under UID and is confident of success and its consequent significant contribution to the revenue and profitability of the forthcoming financial year

 

The Company is in need of funds for consolidation, diversification and expansion of its activities for striking out a reasonable growth path into the future. Financial inclusion is a natural extension of its activities and the company has plans to strike out into that area. In order to meet the above requirements, the company will need substantial infusion of funds and hence has been seeking to induct a strategic investment through a strategic investor whose business will be in synergy with the company's present and future business plans and who will be able to infuse the necessary funds to take the plans forward as envisaged.

 

Till the date of this report, the company, after constant effort and deliberations with a number of corporates, spanning a cross-section of business domains,, is in advanced stage of talks with a Strategic Investor, who the company feels has the appropriate synergy and funds to be the best fit as a strategic investment and will make all efforts to conclude the arrangement
