INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit or CAD in April-June widened to 4.9 % of gross domestic product. High imports of gold and oil led to a worsening of the trade deficit, resulting in CAD jumping to $ 21.8 billion to the latest quarter from $ 16.9 billion in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. The government aims to bring down CAD to 3.7 % or $ 70 billion, in 2013/14, from 4.8 % or $ 88.2 billion in 2012/13.

 

The finance ministry has started preparations for Budget 2014/15. With general elections scheduled to be held by May next year, there will only be an interim budget. The new government will present the fiscal Budget.

 

The Supreme Court has barred clinical trials for new drugs till a monitoring mechanism is put in place to protect the lives of people on which the drugs are tested.

 

Mumbai has been named the world’s second most honest city according to a survey on 15 cities worldwide by Readers’ Digest magazine. Finnish capital Helsinki bagged the top spot for the world’s most honest city while Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, proved to be the least honest.  The survey put hundreds of people to test in four continents to find out just how honest they were by dropping wallets and seeing how many would be returned.

 

3.7 % Growth of the core sector in August, a seven month high. This takes the overall growth in April-August this year to 2.3 % compared with 6.3 % in the corresponding period next financial year.

 

$19 million Estimated average spending by companies across the globe including India, on social media this year, according to a global study by information technology major Tata Consultancy Services. This will rise to $ 24 million in 2015.

 

Rising inflation, fewer employment avenues and dwindling earnings are taking a toll on the spending capacity in India. Over 72 % respondents from middle and lower middle income families would be forced to slash their Diwali expenditure by 40 % and on average spend nearly 25 % of their monthly salary on Diwali, according to a survey by Assochem.

 

Analysts believe the shutdown of the US government would have limited impact in sectors such as IT or tourism that are dependent on Visa clearances.

PERFORMANCE AND PROJECTIONS:

 

During the year, the company achieved sales revenue of Rs. 993.000 Millions against Rs. 1042.000 millions in the previous year, thereby registering a decline of 5%. The company earned net loss after tax of Rs. 3.600 millions against a net profit of Rs. 88 million in the previous year. The decline in turnover and profitability was due to the deep and persistent slowdown and recession in exports market, which is a strategic and key focus area for the company. The year commenced with the healthy trend in the market, however, quarter by quarter, the market position witnesses the impact of inventory accumulations in Asia region, which is a major consumption centre for

the Swiss watches. The economic turmoil in European region, another vital market for luxury watches, had also impact on the industry. The profitability of the company was also affected by the onetime impact of the manpower rationalization in the dials manufacturing units and impact of the merger of Himachal Fine Blank Limited during the year.

 

The turnover decline was witnessed in all the watch component business segments; however, the decline in watch dials was more significant as compared to watch hands. During the current year, the major international brands in the watch segment deferred their new product developments and the decline in the international market was more in the low and medium priced watches whereas the premium and high priced watches continued to witness growth. This trend was visible in both the domestic and export markets. This year the impact of the recession was more severe compared to the previous recession as the order position from domestic major players was also on decline, a trend different from the previous period. Company has taken the necessary corrective steps in the watch components segment for cost reduction, restructuring and capacity consolidation. The Company is also focusing on some new customer segments and for further improving manufacturing excellence.

 

The outlook for the watch components segment has turned positive as the inevitable corrections in global inventory levels have started correcting. The company has started getting enquiries and orders for the new product developments across product categories including high profit segments. The company's efforts of tie-ups with the new customers and market segments is also moving with requisite pace. They are confident that this will help in further improving the turnover and performance of the company.

 

Another positive development in the Swiss exports market is that the Swiss parliament has deferred the passage and implementation of the “Swiss Origin” law, which will lead to continued imports of watch components from the low cost manufacturing countries like India and China. The efforts of the company during last few years to upgrade the capabilities for moving up the value chain by offering high featured more complex components will also yield the results in the coming quarters and company remains confident of improved performance and recovery at a fast and healthy pace.

 

In the precision stamping division, Eigen engineering, business turnover was better than the last year by registering a growth of 36% in sales. The company is now moving to enhance the profitability of the business and also working on increasing exports which has proven to be more beneficial. The business of Packaging division was also significantly impacted by the decline in order position from the watch segment in domestic market. During the year the sales turnover of this division declined by 14%. In order to overcome the impact of high dependence on the watch segment for the business, the company accelerated its efforts for broad basing the market segments and utilized the resources for enhancing the market in export markets and the jewellery and accessories segments. The result of these efforts is encouraging and the company was in a position to increase the exports by more than 300%. The company has reduced the dependence on the watch segment and is confident that in the coming periods the business will witness healthy growth and return.

 

The Company's Swiss subsidiary, Pylania SA in Switzerland was also impacted by the recession in the watch industry and its turnover declined by 22% over the previous year. The reduced turnover led to higher operational losses of CHF 0.69 million during the year. The company took the necessary steps for major reduction in the costs and operational expenses and has made alternate plans for healthy recovery and sustainable development in the Swiss markets for other watch products. Company facilities will be also utilized for alternate uses and the company is in the process of discussions with other watch players for further enhancing the business.

 

The operations of the Joint venture Company Satva Jewellery and Design Limited, the 50:50 Joint Venture with Pascal Vincent Vaucher, SA of Switzerland remained suspended during the year due to no orders. The company recorded a loss of Rs. 2.67 million during the year. The Company increased its paid-up capital by Rs. 5.21 million during the year and is in discussion with the JV partner for finding out the alternatives for restructuring / realigning the business of the company. The watch retail and distribution business of the group, being managed through their subsidiary company Ethos Limited showed improved performance. The turnover of the Ethos Limited improved from Rs. 1246 million (billing of Rs. 1401.000 millions) to Rs.1724.000 millions (billing of Rs. 1944.000 millions) registering a growth of nearly 39%.

 

The company continues to focus on increasing the turnover and profitability by enhancing the presence in the growing market and introducing new brands and improved performance. The company is poised for substantial growth in turnover and also improvement in financial parameters in the coming years. During the year, the company initiated the efforts for setting up the e-commerce platform and systematic introduction and placement of the desired systems and processes. The project for e-commerce setup is moving in the right direction and the company will enhance the efforts and venture into full fledged ecommerce venture for one or more lifestyle brands.

 

AMALGAMATION OF HIMACHAL FINE BLANK LIMITED, SUBSIDIARY COMPANY WITH THE COMPANY:

 

The Company filed a writ petition with the Hon'ble High Court of Himachal Pradesh at Shimla for Amalgamation of its subsidiary company i.e. Himachal Fine Blank Limited. The Hon'ble Court passed the Order dated 20th March, 2012 for the convening of the meetings of Shareholders, Secured Creditors and Unsecured Creditors on 12th May, 2012. The Court Convened meetings were duly held on the scheduled date and the High Court took note of the outcome of the meetings on its record. Thereafter, second motion petition was filed with the Hon'ble Court and the Court fixed the date of hearing of the petition on 5th July, 2012. On the said date, the Hon'ble Court ordered the publication of public notices, asked for the reports of Official Liquidator, Shimla, and Regional Director, Company Law Board, New Delhi and fixed the next date of hearing being 28th August, 2012 for approval of the Scheme of Amalgamation.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

 

AN OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMY:

 

The global economies continued to witness a sharp slowdown. The fall in faster growing emerging economies like BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) was more severe but the other developed economies Germany and Japan also faced major slowdown due to global weaknesses. The US economy remained stagnant but the other European countries like Italy, Spain, Poland were affected significantly due to Euro-zone issues. While India's recent slowdown is partly rooted in external causes, domestic causes are also important. The strong post-financial-crisis stimulus led to stronger growth in 2009-10 and 2010-11. However, the boost to consumption, coupled with supply side constraints, led to higher inflation and tightening of monetary policy. The consequent slowdown, especially in 2012-13, has been across the board, with no sector of the economy unaffected. During the year, the Indian economy had to face the challenge of managing growth and price stability. The Indian economy growth slowed down from 6.9% in 2011-12 to 5% in 2012-13 and the major reason was rate of growth in manufacturing sector decline to 1.9%.

 

The delayed policy decisions and required corrective actions for improving corporate and infrastructure investments and creating conducive environment by removing the bottlenecks and uniformity and clarity on key policies affected the economy.

 

The government's selective efforts in recent months are aimed at restoring the fiscal health and improving the growth rate. The fiscal consolidation corrective measures and policies like controlling subsidies on petroleum products and permitting the FDI in multiple brands will help the economy in the coming periods. However, other important matters like goods and service tax (GST), Direct Tax code (DTC) would help in eliminating multiple taxes and improving the efficiencies and make India more of a national integrated market. Similarly the direct cash benefit transfer scheme will result in containing wasteful expenditure. While the current environment is difficult, the future holds promise. With the global economy also likely to recover somewhat in 2013, the selective measures announced by government should help in improving the Indian economy's outlook for 2013-14.

 

THE WATCH INDUSTRY

 

SWISS WATCH INDUSTRY

 

Against a fluctuating economic background around the world in 2012, Swiss watch exports commenced the year by confirming their robust health by maintaining a very strong momentum. However the general trend showed a significant slowdown of the growth which declined to 5.6% in December and into negative territory in the first quarter of 2013. The major reason of decline in growth was inventory accumulations in China and Far East. The decline is perceived as temporary and as inventory levels correct themselves, the market and growth will stabilize. During the year the volume declined from 29.8 Million watches to 29.2 million, whereas the value increased by 11.5% from CHF 18.1 billion to CHF 20.2 billion, primarily on account of increase in the high value gold watches.

 

INDIAN WATCH MARKET

 

Globally, Swiss Watch exports stood at CHF 20.2 billion compared to CHF 18.1 billion in the previous year. However, the impact of the slowdown is beginning to be felt, especially in the last quarter of the financial year 2012-13. The Hong Kong and Chinese markets, that account for more than 25% of the total Swiss Watch exports, have shown a decline. In India, however, despite continued global economic slowdown, the luxury market continues to grow at a healthy pace. A recent study conducted jointly by ASSOCHAM and Yes Bank pegs the growth of the luxury market at 25 per cent in 2013 till 2015 and likely to touch $15 billion from the current level of $8 billion. The number of ultra-high net worth households, with a minimum net worth of Rs. 250.000 Millions is expected to triple to 2.86 lakh in the next five years with a five-fold increase in their net worth to Rs. 235 lakh crore, the study said. This optimism in the luxury market is reflected in the premium watch market. The year-on-year growth in volumes as well as value continues to be robust.

 

OUTLOOK 2013 ONWARDS

 

The weaknesses and slowdown in the world economic situation had impacted the watch industry during 2012. However Swiss watch players are optimistic about the growth outlook in many countries. Asia particularly is the fast growing and important market for Swiss watches, followed by U.S.A. There is a clear upturn in leading indicators pointing to a recovery and rebound during 2nd half of 2013. "
