MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW:

 

APL is one of the largest producers of ethanolamine’s, morph line, alkyl morph line and gas treating solvents and is a global supplier of organic chemicals which find wide applications in oil refineries, natural gas plants, ammonia plants, petrochemical plants, electronic, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals industries. APL is a major manufacturer and exporter of MDEA which is used in oil refineries as sour gas sweetening solvent with considerable energy savings. The Company currently exports a major part of its manufactured MDEA to Oil Refining companies located in Middle East and Southeast Asian Countries.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES PROGRESS:

 

The Company has two subsidiaries, viz. APL InfoTech Limited., in which the Company is holding 51% equity and APL Engineering Services Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. APL InfoTech Limited. is engaged in the business of providing services like Software development, software re-engineering and Network integration for pipe leak detection in collaboration with IIT, Mumbai. Whereas, APL Engineering Services Private Limited is engaged in the business of providing services for integrated design, engineering, procurement, construction, installation and project management for all types of engineering projects. As reported earlier, the fabrication unit of APL Engineering Services Private Limited. is fully operational and has been executing various orders for its clients. During the year, the Company received orders from engineering companies which have been completed and delivered satisfactorily.

 

The proposed amalgamation of its wholly owned subsidiary APL Engineering Services Private Limited with the Company is at an advanced stage and directions from the High Courts are awaited. The proposed Scheme of Amalgamation would result in business synergy and consolidation of business activities. The Company had taken all necessary steps to expedite the process. APL InfoTech Limited has also tied up with one of the largest Software Companies in India for marketing of its software in Domestic and International markets and expects results from them. The Company is also in talks with the largest Gas Transportation Company in India for installation of the software on their cross country gas transportation. Since this type of software is being developed for the first time in India, marketing of the same is time consuming and they expect good results in future as gas transportation will be in great demand in the Country in future as per Budget proposal.

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

During the year, India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth remained below 5% and industrial growth remained in the negative territory. The economy was also affected due to rising inflation and high interest regime thereby affecting bottom line of the Company.

 

As reported earlier, the Company continues to focus on enhancing stakeholders’ value and looks beyond immediate opportunities by nurturing the business for long term and steady growth. During the year, the aggregate net revenue of the Company was Rs. 2436.472 Millions and profit before tax stood at Rs. 72.054 Millions. The Company has achieved a better turnover and increased its profits for the current year.

 

 

PRODUCTWISE PERFORMANCE:

 

The Company has focused more on consolidating its products strength. All the products range so developed and marketed by the Company have been well accepted domestically and globally. The Company has expanded its wing in different parts of the world and added new customers during the year.

 

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES:

 

The Company has been taking conscious efforts to strengthen the Research and Development (R&D) efforts for new product development and to maximize customer satisfaction. The constant efforts to meet the current requirements of our esteemed customers has been fetching encouraging results. The Company’s current R&D focus is on “Cement Admixtures/Additives”, as there is a tremendous growth of ‘Infra-Structure Projects’ all over our Nation. This is, besides our ‘Specialty Gas Treating Solvents’ absorbance of large volumes, in key sectors like Natural Gas, Refineries, Fertilizers units with specific needs in India as well as abroad. As “Shale Gas” exploration is just to pick up in our country, our R&D efforts are concentrating in products related to this field too. “CO2 capture” is another field in which our R&D products are on trials, contributing to clean environment. High Purity of our Drug Intermediates Interactions with ‘Academic Institutions’ on projects related to “Performance Studies” of our “Formulated Specialty Gas Treating Solvents” and our own “Simulations Studies” by the Gas Treating Team with various Natural Gas/ Refinery Gas/ Ammonia/Hydrogen/ Flue Gas units, all over the world, kept the R&D Team alert throughout the year for their in-puts. Cosmetics Ingredients have attracted clients from ‘quality-conscious’ Japan, Europe & Korea with repeated orders, due to our sustained/consistent R&D efforts.

 

 

OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS, RISKS AND CONCERNS:

 

To ensure long term competitiveness the Company has been taking several steps like constant new product innovation, quality improvement and enhancement in end-consumer experience which will help improve profitability and business in near term. For Amines & Plasticizers Limited strong markets in Middle East were affected by political unrest and internal conflicts. This has affected the export demand from these areas. With the constant efforts of R&D Division of the Company, your Company has developed wide range of products covering different, varied applications. The Company’s constant endeavor in induction, up gradation and expansion of its technical team, plant and marketing capacities had resulted in developing/ catering to various new products, processes which find utility in Oil and Gas, Electronic, Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics.

 

As reported earlier, the Company has a dedicated and professional team of technical experts, chemical engineers who are continuously working on seizing new opportunities, developing new simulations, processes and products. Ethylene Oxide is the main raw materials and cannot be imported due to its inflammable explosive nature and had to be sourced domestically. Its price therefore becomes susceptible to steep fluctuations. Also other petroleum based products are largely dependent on the price of international crude / gas prices. The Company also faces stiff competition from Domestic as well as International players since their pricing are competitive.

 

 

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM:

 

The Company has instituted adequate internal controls to ensure that transactions are properly recorded, authorized and reported apart from safeguarding its assets. The Company’s internal control system is supplemented by well-developed operating procedures, policies, guidelines and review carried out by the Internal Audit function.

The Total Net Revenue was Rs. 2436.472 Millions during the year as compared to Rs. 1925.006 Millions in the previous year. The Company has continued its good performance of last few years in spite of higher operational cost, cut throat competition and high interest cost regime.
