FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

For the financial year 2013-14, The Company reported a net profit of Rs. 55.792 Million against profit of Rs. 205.904 Million during the previous year. Total Income from Operations has increased to Rs. 9467.982 Million during the year from Rs. 7824.162 Million in the previous year. Operational matters have been discussed under 'Management Discussion and Analysis,' detailed in appropriate part of this Report.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The industry structure, development, performance, opportunities, threats and outlook of each activities, internal

control systems and industrial relations have been discussed in the paragraphs to follow.

 

Tea Division

During the calendar year 2013 there was a significant increase in world production of Tea primarily due to favourable weather prevailing in major Tea producing countries like India, Kenya, Sri Lanka, China and Malawi. During the year, this Division posted improvement both in production and realization. Production was reported at 10.02 million Kgs of Tea during the year under review, which is higher than 9.32 million Kgs., as reported in the last year.

 

Favourable weather conditions coupled with augmented irrigation facilities were the major contributing factors.

Average tea prices were lower in all auction centers compared to previous year. However, realizations increased by Rs. 3 per kg., which reflects the premium the products enjoy in the market.

 

The Directors are pleased to inform you that exports have increased during the year when compared with the previous year. Exports were made to countries like China, Iran, Russia, and U.K., which has resulted in enhanced export sales during the year. The Division is also exploring other potential markets and taking adequate measures to strengthen the existing market and is confident of increasing export turnover in the coming year.

 

As reported last year, this Division is steadily increasing its presence in the packet tea segment on Pan India basis and is hopeful in making a further growth in the current financial year. During the current year, till date adverse weather conditions during initial flush has impacted production in Assam and Bengal. Tea market is expected to be strong and good quality Tea are expected to enjoy premiums. However, this should be viewed in the backdrop of expected rise in wages and rising input costs. Overall, we expect to maintain the current profitability levels in the coming year.

 

All the Tea Estates are ISO 22000:2005 Certified and some of The gardens are also participants in the ETP (Ethical Tea Partnership) Programme. This division also continues to lay emphasis on the critical issues of Maximum (Permissible Chemicals) Residue Limits and complies with stringent international as well as Indian standards at all its estates. Engineering (MICCO) Division This division is engaged in EPC contracts mainly in Steel Plants and Power Plants. The global and national economy has not been encouraging and the slowdown has hit the EPC industry hard, resulting in delay in expansion/modernisation plans. This Division was also severely impacted by the economic slowdown resulting in low booking of new orders during the year.

 

This Division has reported a 50% increase in revenue over previous year on account of progress in execution of orders in hand at the beginning of the year. However, the profitability of the Division was impacted due to cost overrun in couple of projects on account of delay in availability of site. In the year this division has successfully commissioned Coke Oven Battery at Durgapur Steel Plant and has earned accolades. This division is about to achieve a unique feat by executing category-1 Capital Repair of Blast Furnace (BF1) of Vizag Steel Plant, which is expected to be commissioned very soon. The said work will place this Division in another league all together, and will help in its growth in the long run. This division expects the market sentiment to improve in the latter half of the coming year, which would provide better opportunities of getting new orders. This division also expects to forge new partnerships with some of the leading globally players, which will enhance its capabilities and credentials. The Directors expect this division to perform better in the coming year.

 

Textile Division

 

The overall performance of this division was reasonable with production of 19,648 M.T. as against production of 18,602 M.T. in the last year. The increase in production is the result of the expansion programme, as reported last year. The cotton crop for the year 2013-2014 is estimated to be at all time high of around 375 lakh bales. However, with increase in domestic consumption and substantial exports, stock levels are expected to be low resulting in increase in cotton prices.

 

The export of cotton yarn during the year 2013-2014 was at all time high mainly driven by higher demand from China. However, the change in the cotton policy by Chinese Government from April, 2014, and in anticipation of China releasing its huge cotton inventory, the yarn market is currently facing tremendous pressure and lackluster exports. The appreciation of rupee against dollar will also adversely affect Indian Textile Exporters.

The increase in cotton prices on one hand and decline in export of yarn on the other hand is putting pressure on the cotton yarn prices and has adversely affected the economics of the Spinning Mills. However, the silver lining is the positive sentiments in the domestic market which is expected to drive domestic demand.

 

This division is working on value added yarns which is likely to have positive impact on the working of the division and the directors expect the current dismal scenario for cotton spinning mills to improve in later part of the year.

 

Chemical (Waldies) Division

 

This Division is engaged in the manufacture of Lead Oxides & PVC Stabilisers used in the manufacture of Battery, Paints and other products. During the year the industry witnessed uncertain market environment and slow growth. Production was reported at 3,547 M.T. as against 3,876 M.T. in the previous year. The total revenue earned was marginally low when compared to the previous year.

 

Continuous efforts are being made for bringing in improvement in the operation of this Division. The outlook of the Division in the coming year is stable. This Division ensures total customer satisfaction in terms of

quality & service and enjoys ISO-9001 certification for its Quality Management System. This Division also enjoys ISO-14001 certification for its Environment Management System and OHSAS-18001 certification for its Occupational Health & Safety Management System.

 

Trading Division

 

During the year, the turnover of this Division was lower compared to previous year primarily due to slump in demand from real estate sector, delay in execution of ongoing projects, and launch of few new projects. However, this Division has started importing abrasive sheets under its registered brand 'Gillarco' which is slowly gaining acceptability in the market. We are expecting an improved market sentiment, which is expected to result in higher turnover compared to previous year. The Directors expect that this Division will yield better results in the

coming year.
