MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward looking statements identified by words like ‘plans’, ‘expects’, ‘will’, ‘anticipates’, ‘believes’, ‘intends’, ‘projects’, ‘estimates’ or other words of similar meaning. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to the Company’s strategy for growth, product development, market position, expenditures and financial results, are forward-looking statements. Since these are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events, the Company cannot guarantee that these are accurate or will be realised. The Company's actual results, performance or achievements could thus differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no responsibility to publicly amend, modify or revise any forward looking statements, on the basis of any subsequent developments, information or events.

 

 

OVERVIEW

 

Financial Year 2011-12 was a challenging year for the economy as well as the Company. The global economy witnessed lower economic growth, resulting primarily from the Euro Zone debt crisis and high oil prices. Rising unrest in the Middle East and North Africa resulted in unprecedented levels of crude oil volatility. The European economies stagnated and the US witnessed a downgrade in its credit rating, while the growth engines of the global economy, China and India, were forced to tighten liquidity and to keep interest rates high to tame rising inflation, which was unrelenting in India. The situation was aggravated in India due to the steep and sudden decline in the Rupee versus the US$ and other currencies and also due to lack of any policy initiatives by the Governments in India to address the emerging challenges. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economy is estimated to grow at a modest pace of 3.8% in 2011, as compared to a robust 5.2% in 2010. These global events had an overall negative impact on demand of the Company’s products.

 

 

DOMESTIC BUSINESS

 

The demand for industrial cylinders continued to be robust. CNG cylinders witnessed reduced demand from the Original Equipment Manufacturers as well as the Retrofit segment due to various factors, such as, lower growth of automobile sector, non-coverage non-coverage of new cities under the City Gas Distribution policy, continued high subsidy on diesel vis a vis petrol resulting in higher production of diesel vehicles, etc. Due to the competitive scenario, there was pressure on margins.

 

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESSES

 

(a) Dubai Operations

Due to geo-political situation in the Middle-East Asia, sales to Iran market, which historically accounted for a substantial portion of its business, got severely affected during the year, with concomitant effect on the operating results. To tide over the situation, development of alternate markets, such as, South America, CIS countries, etc. has been initiated.

 

(b) USA Operations

Due to improved business conditions and demand situation, the performance during the year was robust, represented by about 71% sales growth, improved capacity utilization and negligible loss at the net level of the standalone operations. On consolidation, the results however continue to report a loss due to amortisation of intangible assets acquired during the business acquisition.

 

The order book is expected to remain good during the current year and the Company will opt for higher margin business. The huge gas discovery in the USA, the thrust on the increased usage of natural gas and its promotion by the US Government augurs well for the business in the coming years.

 

(c) China Operations

The China CNG cylinders operations continue to remain affected due to high local competition and price sensitive environment, which scenario is expected to continue. The Jumbo cylinders segment, however, has good business potential due to low competition and high demand and growth prospects. The business thrust, going forward, will be on the Jumbo cylinders segment

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE VIS-A-VIS OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The last year has been difficult for the Company on account of the challenges presented by the economic environment (both local as well as international) resulting in lower sales and profitability The situation got aggravated by the adverse movement of the Rupee against the US Dollar.

 

EKC sold around 745,000 cylinders during the year 2011-12 as compared to 885,000 cylinders during the year 2010-11.

 

 

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

 

The Company believes in formulating adequate and effective internal control systems and implementing the same strictly to ensure that assets and interests of the Company are safeguarded and reliability of accounting data and accuracy are ensured with proper checks and balances. The Internal control system is improved and modified continuously to meet the changes in business conditions, statutory and accounting requirements.

 

The Company has an internal audit function, which is empowered to examine the adequacy and the compliance with policies, plans and statutory requirements. It is also responsible for assessing and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance process. The management of the Company duly considers and takes appropriate action on the recommendations made by the statutory auditors, internal auditors and the independent Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

The prevailing system of internal controls and internal audit are considered to be adequate vis-a-vis the business requirements. In order to further strengthen the internal control systems and with a view to automate the various processes of the business, EKC has implemented an Enterprise Wide Resource Planning (ERP) system.
